I don't get it, the religious right has perfected boycotting over the last 50 years. Starting with burning records of the Beetles because John Lennon said they're bigger than Jesus and moving to burning disco albums. In the 90s the AFA said as long as Waldenbooks sells porn we'll boycott Kmart, the then owner of Waldenbooks. They've boycotted Disney, the Dixie Chicks, Target, French Fries, the Teletubbies, JCPenny's because of Ellen, to one of their own, Rob Bell, for questioning if non-christians go to hell.
But when "them bleed'n heart liberals" do it, its called "cancel culture?" Why? Its a tactic that the right has been using for years but suddenly it bad form? This definition of cancel culture is bullshit. Everyone has always been free to choose from whom they wish to purchase goods and services, and boycotts have been weaponized by the right for practically the last century. As much as I've disagreed with many of the motivations for those boycotts, I've never disagreed with the freedom of speech they have to perform a boycott. Why is it suddenly bad just because the "radical antifa left" is doing it?
