Actor Matthew McConaughey -

Rarely stingy in words when it comes to dealing with the problems facing American society, Matthew McConaughey obviously has a say in “cancel culture”.
"Where will the waterline be placed regarding our freedom of expression, what we allow and what we do not allow?
Where is this “cancel culture” going?
Towards a very interesting place that our society is trying to find.
But we haven't found the right place yet, ”the actor said during an appearance on
Good Morning Britain
.
In short, for the star of
True Detective
, it is useless to judge the “cancel culture” for good or for bad but to understand the stakes it raises for democracy.
Who to believe?
“You have to have conflict to have unity.
This is where a democracy works really well.
And I would agree that we don't have a real debate right now, a confrontation that provides validation and legitimizes the opposite point of view.
We do not give legitimacy or validity to the opposite point of view.
We make it persona non grata, and it's unconstitutional, ”continued Matthew McConaughey.
A problem which, for the actor, finds its source in a crisis of confidence which involves "finding a form of leadership that we can listen to - with whom to agree or not - but which we can believe".
'Alright, alright, alright.'
Who did it better @McConaughey or @piersmorgan?
Watch to the end for this one.

Matthew McConaughey therefore believes that American democracy is in search of an authoritative discourse that no institution, whether it is the government or the media, currently manages to endorse.
