Is cancel culture real or is it just a right-wing myth?

Personally, I think it does exist but it's niche and massively blown up by the right. Conservative YouTubers seem much more obsessed with university social science departments than anyone else on the planet. If you complain about being 'cancelled' it's the fastest way to get a book deal but then if you criticise the government of Israel you get called an anti-semite.

BTW, most of the 'free-speech absolutists' on this site will never read this post because they have blocked me. Oh well.

They all block me as well. A few days ago, Trump was calling for cancelling Coca Cola, while sporting a can of diet coke on his desk.

I think we should be able to use our economic power to support our political beliefs. Why would I want to buy My Pillow products? Fuck him and the horse he rode on.

The same goes for every business that supports Jim Crow 2.0, and racists/fascists. If it's called the Cancel Culture, so be it.

@Northwest I agree vote with your dollars 100%.
I think that a little informed highly emotional half cocked hive mentality is the bad part.

Yes, and this is why it's important to dig deeper than the one liners.

I don't know how I feel about the move for businesses to boycott Georgia. I would instead target specific businesses in Georgia that support Jim Crow 2.0. A blanket boycott may end up hurting the very people the white racist establishment is trying to suppress.
