The cancel culture is getting out of control

I wanted to look back at this topic now that Repubs are full throated supporters of economic boycotts (Bud Light) and even government sanctions if you don't like a company's position. (Disney).

Hypocrisy, it's what's for dinner in the Repub party.

There’s not. That’s why companies continue to push further left. There are actual academic studies on this.

I'll admit I haven't looked at the academic studies on this topic. Appreciate the correction.

Can you link some of them for my own reference?

Here’s the main example I was referencing. They found conservative companies were overall viewed negatively and left wing companies viewed as neutral. It’s one of multiple reasons companies continue to move further left by the dozens and meanwhile we’d all struggle to name a handful of right wing companies. Because only one of those (moving right) hurts most companies.

How Do Consumers Feel When Companies Get Political?

Just wait til Lego gets rid of holes and plugs in the pieces because it's just too obvious and doesn't fit the agenda. How can you be transgender in the midst of physically proving the binary nature of things?

I think it's gonna be OK. We all have holes and plugs, regardless of how we identify.

Not even sure this is real, but I thought it was funny.

He's pretty popular. I love him and I hate the Lakers. The response on the twitter thread is about what you'd expect no matter who they pick.

He is popular, but I just think it wouldn’t go over well. If they put Butler on the cover that would be a safe bet.

Given enough time this boycott thing might just be what this nation needs. A return to buying from local sole proprietorships, and getting food from local farmers, and saving your money instead of buying a bunch of stuff you don't need. All this time the radicals have been against corporations, and big Pharma and suddenly you've become their defenders...I think that's hilarious.

The irony is thick. Most lolbertarians and leftists now are proud defenders of whatever megacorp their little idols tell them to gobble up.

BREAKING: MAGA Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is slammed with a lawsuit from a coalition of Arkansas book enthusiasts furious over her deranged new law that threatens librarians with jail time if they help minors get ahold of banned books. The lawsuit correctly states that the GOP law is a blatant violation of 1st and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

As usual, we see that conservatives only really care about defending "free speech" when it's hate speech they agree with. Actual free speech — as in books that right-wingers find offensive — is something that Republicans are working tirelessly to destroy. The pro-ignorance, anti-learning law will “subject librarians and booksellers to criminal charges if they provide 'harmful' materials to minors" if the law goes into effect on August 1st.

The Arkansas Library Association and the Central Arkansas Library System are two of the central organizations involved with the lawsuit and should be commended for taking a stand. “Library workers across Arkansas are rightly concerned that the overly broad edicts of Act 372 will prevent them from serving their patrons as they have always done, by providing a wide variety of materials to fill their information needs, and perhaps more importantly, materials that allow each child to see themselves in the books in their library,” said Arkansas Library Association President Carol Coffey.
