Is cancel culture justice or mob rule?

A case for

It cannor be justice as it is not based on, and has no burden of proof; therefor it is mob rule.

The first objection

You're begging the question. Justice *requires* due process because innocent people exist—but cancel culture doesn't claim to be a courtroom. It's social consequence, not legal punishment. People lose jobs because employers don't want the PR disaster, not because a mob voted guilty. That's capitalism working exactly as designed. Your real complaint? You don't like that social power now flows sideways instead of top-down. A CEO used to fire whoever they wanted, no questions asked. Now employees, customers, and the public have a say. Is that mob rule or just power finally distributed? Can't call it unjust when it's the first time ordinary people have leverage.
