After all, it is the radical right that promotes cancel culture

Público30 August 2026 at 00:04

The article is an opinion piece by Pedro Adão e Silva arguing against the common narrative surrounding cancel culture. The title asserts that it is the radical right that promotes cancel culture, inverting the accusation frequently directed at the left.

The author contends that the anathema cast on wokism and the alleged cancel culture associated with it has been instrumental in curtailing freedom of expression.

According to the opinion expressed, this criticism of wokism has promoted an authentic cancel culture, rather than combating it.

The article presents this analysis as an inversion of the usual narrative about who practices cultural cancellation.
