Also, watch A Passage For Trumpet. Number 21, the runner up. It's beautiful, especially the first act.

In my continual discovery that everything is just a rehash of a Twilight Zone episode, this one is prescient for the internet vs Internet situation invoked in the name of morality. /cc @Null

Twilight Zone, Season 3, Episode 29: Four O'Clock
A prejudiced man incites cancel culture calling employers and instigating firings, he tries to get the FBI involved however the FBI agent considers him insane and that he is against humanity, informing him that witch hunts are primitive and discarded, that we have the fairness of the law now, and he should reevaluate his position.

It continues on a theme from the prior episode:
Twilight Zone, Season 3, Episode 28: Little People
Two astronauts land on an alien planet to make repairs. One is diligent and benevolent, the other is bitter and anti-social. The bitter man discovers a world of minuscule people, becoming a tyrannical god of power to them. The benevolent man warns him of the shallowness and loneliness of his ways, but is evicted from the planet once the ship is repaired. Eventually, new giants appear and accidentally kill the bitter man, apologising and continuing on their way. The minuscule people topple the statue of the bitter man.
Prominent theme of that episode is that God is supreme and pro-humanity, and idol/man/self-worship and demagoguery is anti-God (inferior and misanthropic).
