Up their nose with a rubber hose.

Yes, slam their faces into a toilet bowl

It’s time to ruin the lives and obliterate the accomplishments of cancel culturists.

Thanks Reg!

will cancel culture soon become offended by Darwin?

Cancel culture drives me nuts.  There are better ways to change people’s minds than banishing them from the human race.  Also, behaving like idiots undermines the activists’ own case for whatever they are promoting.
