You keep using the word "Cancel Culture" here Tom, and it's nothing of the sort.

"Cancel Culture"'s goal is to shut someone or something down PERMAMENTLY, and to make sure NO ONE can use that person/company's services, EVER... to make sure that someone can't find a job in a specific field, or can't compete in a given market.

Boycott: Withdraw your support from, no longer shop at, etc., but NO OTHER actions to force a business/person to shut down, or prevent them from ever working.



Until you can separate those two as entirely different ideals...

I agree. All the "boycott" people are really doing is saying "look at me" and looking for attention.

Well, if they were really woke, they’d throw the existing stock in the dumpster........

You can argue and call it whatever you want, but there are companies that won't get another dime of my money. Lots of ways to do that.

Find a cool product on Amazon?
Find the company web site.
Order directly from the company site (can usually save 10% with direct sale).
Still get product within 8-10 days.
Company avoids losing 25% margin share to Amazon.
You avoid giving money to Jeff Bezos.

Good luck getting Texans to boycott H-E-B.

That ain’t happening.

More cancel culture by large corporations. They have chosen their side. That's fine with me. Now we all know how they are.

Yep. And I can play the cancel game by not spending my money at these “woke” establishments. They’ve decided to gamble their sales dollars on politics.......here’s hoping their sales take a dive....

All Kohl's is is a cleaner JCPenney's and BB&B is overpriced housewares. Don't shop there anyways.

I needed some utensils and I was heading to bb and b but veered into our neighborhood Dollar Tree and I got the same Schiff for one dollar. Save me a bunch. Unless no one has what I want bbandb can go to the Liberal heaven aka hell.

FIFY

Tom is such an idiot. No one is trying to cancel anything. I'm just changing the places where I spend my money. It's MY fk'ing money commies.

Amazon is a search engine for me. I use it to find lots of thing, but seldom spend a dime there. Getting rid of Prime was the best decision I made.
