Social media is a disease and those who support censorship and canceling are a threat to the very fabric of our nation.
So much drama, so much martyrdom. Nobody has been cancelled, whatever that means. If you want to speak specifically about Aaron Hagen, all I see is a man who lacks the humility to question the validity of his opinions, who chose to broadcast them on a loud megaphone now facing the consequences of his actions. Maybe this is a blindspot for a person who also has 1000s of social media posts: your opinion just isn't that important, and also, sometimes actions have consequences.
If people choose to take their money to a competing interview prep service and Emerald Coast loses business because the boss unwisely couldn't manage to push off from the keyboard, that's just the free market at work. If Hagen wasn't concerned with getting the approval/money from whoever he thinks he is speaking to on FB, then he was and is free to be as loud and dumb as he wants to be online, just as we all are. But to say anyone is being cancelled as if it's some form of exile or prison sentence is far too dramatic, and ironically makes one out to sound like the victims they love to criticize.
