Agree that you obviously don’t know what cancel culture is. Besides, the left are the ones that get so triggered over perceived slights decades old that they have to ruin people’s lives with cancel culture.
I don’t know why corporations have to make such a big deal about their political stance, right it left. You’re going to get someone upset. Stay out of it.
I changed from Starbucks to local coffee shops due to their support of BLM.
People talk a big game but they like their habits and outrage boycotts tend to be short lived. But what are some of the companies or products you have boycotted recently and stuck to? I started boycotting the Washington Post about 2 years ago, and I have not looked back So far this year, I've just completely quit cold turkey:
New York Times (this one is the most tragic, I just can't believe what they've done)
ESPN Radio 98.7 (non-stop woke, Peter Rosenberg on Kay Show works with Kaepernick's girlfriend)
Ben & Jerry's (not hard, there are so many other choices)
Nike (I will never wear a swoosh again so long as I live)
MLB Baseball (I was down to a casual fan, now I can't even bother to put it on TV)
NBA (I am DONE with them, I just can't anymore, goodbye Knicks forever)
I also quit CNN and MSNBC last year. NFL is turning out to be the biggest habit to quit. I am waiting to see to what they do with sitting out games or playing non-American national anthems. I don't know how I'll react, I really don't. I love watching the NFL but like the Times and ESPN radio I used to love those too but I can't explain it this force of betrayal is so overwhelming
I don't really participate in boycotts because they tend to be fads. Like physical fitness, in order to be meaningful, it has to be permanent.
I recognized the issue with China, SE Asia, and Mexico years ago. That is why I voted for Ross Perot. Politicians were far too eager to sacrifice American jobs for cheap child/slave labor, often rooted in human trafficking for the sake of the Plutocracy. This began with Bush Sr., but fully implemented with Clinton with NAFTA and perpetuated into the Obama administration.
To the best of my ability, I avoid anything made outside of the USA and/or by corporate America. I even relocated from my corporate job to a not-for-profit because I wanted to minimize my contributions to the political machine.
It's hard because mom and pop stores have been run out of business by political complicity. It limits your options, but I have discovered that I can do without.
Regarding sports, I stopped watching all professional sports more than a decade ago. I saw too many families financially sacrifice in order to take their kids to games when these grown men whined over millions. Humans (purportedly) lost their lives because they stepped on the $200 shoe made by someone that was lucky to make $1 a day, if they had not been kidnapped and enslaved. And millionaires lived in their mansions sucking up the suckers while play children's games.
Now multimillionaire professional athletes boycott the viewer in the name of priviledge while becoming millionaires off child/slave labor and human trafficking.
Boycotts are useless. Evolve. Play sports. But don't worship athletes.
I’ve given up watching, and occasionally attending, the Washington Redskins (or whatever their name is now).
I’ve stopped buying clothes at MACYs after they locked the doors during operating hours, with customers trapped inside, as they forced a 9-minute moment of silence to honor George Floyd and, as they said, ALL black people because black lives matter.
Civvies in Savannah. I will never step foot in that racist establishment.
Had to look that one up to see what the issue is. For other readers, this racist store has different pricing policies that essentially favor blacks and penalize whites.
I’d boycott too.
