Do the political right believe in 'Cancel Culture?'

I think the do, only because they practice it often enough. The blocking option is meant to be to stop abuse, not arguments that you disagree with.

In the last two days I've been blocked for asking for evidence that the US election was fixed (he didn't wanna play that 'game' because I have too much 'bias'). Also, I got blocked by a Modi supporter for calling him a Modi supporter and for saying that the movement he supports has a link with the European radical right. His question was about Muslim immigration to the west and the current Indian government is very anti Muslim. He knew all of that but was pretending not to.

Its ironic that the right complain about people being canceled and 'safe space' culture when so many just block anyone who challenges their world view.

I don't usually like the "both sides do it" but yes, both sides do it in this case.

But either side justifies why they do it so it's OK for them but not the other. They even may call it different things.

The end result is the same. And it happens because people play the politics game to score points/wins for "their team". This is the end result of a two party system in which it is "us" vs "them" and everything about "them" is wrong.
