Cancel Culture Changing--Metaphor

 Yesterday I wrote on what I see as changes through our/my history of what is "canceled" and what is not.

I've a metaphor: 

Think of society in history as being reduced to a map in some way.  Then the boundaries of what's included and what's not can be represented by a low resolution magnifying glass help over the map, a glass which brings some aspects to the fore and doesn't recognize other aspects.  But over time the glass moves around, adding and subtracting things to look at.
