Don't watch ______. Why? Because I said so. Don't enjoy ______. Why? Because I said so. Don't support ______. Why? Because I said so. It's like a PMS support group around here sometimes... |

Choosing to not give money to enemies of freedom is a bad thing?

They exist Because no one has told them to shut the fuck up. |

Because playing it our way vs the left has been going oh so well right? Crying about honor and shit when the left doesn't give a fuck and just gets it done is why they make headway. They stick together, you have guys here still supporting people who don't support them, whereas on the left they totally shun you if you cross them. One side is in it to win, the other side just wants to be comfy.

There’s a difference between wanting to cancel something and not wanting to give your hard earned money to it. I don’t want the government to shut down Nike or the NBA but they certainly aren’t getting a penny from me.
The left wants something they don’t like censored or removed completely. There is nothing wrong with boycotting companies that work against your values. |

Quoted: Choosing to not give money to enemies of freedom is a bad thing? View Quote Valid point, but without living in a mud hut in the woods naked and eating tree bark to survive? We all compromise to some extent. It's the reality of modern society. I admire and respect people standing by their values, it's their money. However when someone attacks and berates others for supporting "x" because the CEO made a comment or gave a personal donation to "y", despite every store/ manager having a different take/policy, it seems a little disingenuous. This doesn't mean some choices aren't obvious, but there is rarely a pure or uncompromising choice in this day and age if you dig deeply enough. |

That's at the root of cancel culture, and it's what drives arrogant 'Karens.' There's a lot of it here lately, coming from people who otherwise claim to be thoughtful conservatives. |

Quoted: Quoted: Choosing to not give money to enemies of freedom is a bad thing? Got a cell phone? I get your point but this repeated argument is silly. Just because it's practically impossible to eliminate doing all business with leftists that doesn't mean you can't make easy choices when there are plenty of other options available. A cell phone...you are fucked. You have no choice if you need a cell phone. A loan...I can't think of a single bank that isn't pro-globalusm. Again, you're fucked. A pair of sneakers...zero excuse to buy Nike unless you support BLM and Colon Kaperdick. A cooler...no excuse to buy Yeti unless you support David Hogg. You get the point. |

The Karens I see on the left will dox and arock you for supporting xyz. Is that what's happening? |

Quoted: I go to a place that sells BLM and 'every one is welcome here' signs. They got such damned good food. I don't think I'd ever deny someone business because of political beliefs if they put out a superior product. It's fun people watching the liberals. Once I overheard a group of ladies saying that a pro 2A group followed their FB gun control page and they were thinking of calling the police over it. https://stmedia.stimg.co/ctyp_791123978b749_birchwood.jpg?w=1200&h=630 View Quote May your chains rest lightly. I couldn't imagine giving business to some progressive asshole that supports cultural Marxism. That's some straight up cuck shit right there. |

Quoted: Choosing to not give money to enemies of freedom is a bad thing? View Quote I guarantee you support enemies of freedom. You can't help it. if you use money and buy products from corporations and use the global supply chain you support the enemy. they have been building the structure for centuries. |

Quoted: E as in electric? Geez, that makes it even worse!!!! View Quote Electronic. As in 'internet'. I suppose it could have been iracer instead. But eracer has the homonym thing going for it. Besides, I wouldn't want people to misconstrue i-racer for me-racer. As in "Me race internet...ooga booga.' |

Because supporting companies that want to strip you of your rights is pants-on-head retarded.

no, this is different. It's the America/Constitution/2A...not political correctness socialist societal warfare |

If you do the same shit your no better then them. Doesn't matter that you think your cause is just or better or anything else. Use of the same tactics still makes you no better then them. |

Straw man. No one on the right (or left) is saying "because I said so". On the right, we are saying that if a company chooses to enter the political or cultural arena (as they so often do to chase extra profit or advance an agenda) then we will reward or punish them based on the position they adopt.
This is not only reasonable, it is what those companies seemingly want. They want to be recognized and rewarded for their political and cultural positions. Gillette didn't make an advertisement denigrating men -- and particularly white men -- because they wanted people to ignore it. The only point of the commercial was to get attention for their political posture. Would you have us disappoint them? |

Cancel culture is the act of attacking an individual, to deprive them of work and the ability to work.
Boycott is the act of not purchasing a product based on a decision to not support that company or products message. If I try to make sure you never work again for what you said. That is cancel culture. If I don’t want to buy a Gillett razor because they support feminism. That is a boycott. |
