It's funny that they toss in "cancel culture" here because the movie was warning about a very different thing from that. Cancel culture is about responding to people that are victimizing you by no longer consuming their media. The movie warns about religious conservatives obsessed with making sure people never feel bad, which has a lot more in common more right-leaning movements that try to sanitize our history so we only ever feel joy-joy feelings.
This meme really does sum up how I feel. The Russian invasion of Ukraine is more distant to me than our home-grown coup on January 6th was. I do care though and, as a species in the process of killing itself, it seems epically stupid to take actions like this. The upside is that maybe if NATO is serious about sanctions this will rapidly move Europe away from gas powered vehicles.
