Too bad you have no idea what cancel culture is.

Please enlighten to me what cancel culture is to you and why it’s only okay when your side does it.

Instead of me taking the time to illustrate the difference between any boycott and what the Left is doing with cancel culture, then have you dismiss it out of hand, I have a better idea.

Why don't you go research the mechanics of a boycott and compare 2019-20 cancel culture PC group think and get back to me? Off you go, now.

I’ve never seen someone so masterfully dodge a question like you did. Conservatism must have taught you well. I’m going to ask you this very basic and simple question once again, what is your definition of cancel culture is. From what I’m gathering, you only like cancel culture when the right is doing it. Partisanship alert!

Not dodging.
Just not my first rodeo, so how about we try something new, where you put on your thinking cap and quite simply compare:
Boycotts VS Contemporary Leftist Cancel Culture (on "thought crimes" from 30 yr old emails)

I'm just tired of doing all the work and having some haf-wit dismissal with no thought whatsoever.

"So how about we try something new..." looks like someone is intentionally pivoting to another unrelated issue in an effort to not answer my question. Or to put it another way, dodging.

The next part was you deflecting to something that had absolutely nothing to do with my meme (when did I ever talk about 30 year old emails?). I'm not comparing the NFl/NBA boycott with that obscure thing that I brought up, I'm comparing it specifically with the right's Goya boycott.

Compare the Goya boycott with the NBA/NFL boycott.
Neither are cancel culture where you emasculate and unemploy people for un-PC tweets or emails from years ago.

I'd actually wager that both boycotts are a bit unreasonable, but we share somewhat of an agreement. Don't know why you had an objection in the first place.

Funny how you used a picture of a triggered liberal to represent conservatives. That says a lot.

So what? Funny how you haven’t provided a single counter argument. Says a lot.

So what? So you were unable to find pictures of triggered conservatives (because there few of them) so you used a picture of a triggered libturd instead. The left can't meme.

Your missing my entire point. Instead of focusing on the content of my meme, you’re focusing on the aesthetics. The reason I used the triggered liberal that you’re so fixated on is because I wanted use that template against the conservatives.

And the right can’t meme either. Half of it’s just a picture with a caption on it. No meme, no punch line. That’s not a meme. The ones that do have memes are incredibly NPC and cringy.

no u

"I wanted use that template against the conservatives"

And it failed spectacularly.

"And the right can’t meme either"

By saying "either" you are admitting that the left can't meme.

1. No u

2. “And it failed spectacularly.” Unless you prove to me the content, not the aesthetics is flawed, then no, it didn’t fail spectacularly.

3. So making a grammar mistake (Like everyone does once in awhile) means the left can’t meme. Nice non sequitur.

lol I'm never going to be able to change the mind of a libturd so heavily brainwashed with such extreme views.

"So making a grammar mistake (Like everyone does once in awhile) means the left can’t meme. Nice non sequitur."

It wasn't just the word "either". It was also the use of the word "and" at the beginning. To me, it looked a lot more like you were acknowledging the fact that the left can't meme than just making a grammar mistake.

1. “lol I'm never going to be able to change the mind of a libturd so heavily brainwashed with such extreme views.”
So I guess you can’t refute anything. Color me surprised.

2. It wasn't just the word "either". It was also the use of the word "and" at the beginning. To me, it looked a lot more like you were acknowledging the fact that the left can't meme than just making a grammar mistake.

First of all, it’s perfectly fine to start a sentence with a contraction. Second of all, it’s still a non sequitur. The premise that I am making a grammar mistake does not logically follow that the left can’t meme.

There is no point trying to change the mind of a brainwashed libturd as extreme as you are. You will only ignore me.

"First of all, it’s perfectly fine to start a sentence with a contraction. Second of all, it’s still a non sequitur. The premise that I am making a grammar mistake does not logically follow that the left can’t meme."

It didn't look like a grammar mistake to me. You subconsciously admitted that the left can't meme.

Or it’s because you know you’re going to be wrong.

Yes it is a grammar mistake, nothing more, nothing less. I could have just said to you that because you erroneously claimed that starting a sentence with “and” is improper grammar, therefore the right can’t meme. I won’t, because it’s a non sequitur that doesn’t make any sense whatsoever.

Isn’t the whole point of politics is to change other people’s minds to your position?

What’s the “truth?”

Not an actual Milton Friedman quote

But I can’t imagine any basis on which he’d disagree

In a free market, companies have to serve their customers and if their customers decide that certain political issues are a dealbreaker then the market will respond accordingly

On the flip side, companies will affirmatively put efforts into corporate practices that poll well

Hence the long-standing trend toward eco-friendly policies and, increasingly, race-conscious practices (esp. after Floyd’s death)

Yeah I heard a similar argument in an article like this. If you're a ceo of a corporation and is openly willing to say your political beliefs, don't expect the public to have no reaction. It might be the wrong reaction, but we live a free market system yea. Boycotts, when used in a legitimate manner against egregious misconduct is powerful counter-speech and can meaningfully improve society. However, I think in the two instances listed in my meme, I think the boycotts are over trivial things. When boycotts are over things that do not deserve "boycott level" condemnation or over something that happened so long ago that there there was a reasonable time for the person to change their view, then that's starting to enter cancel culture territory. At the end of the day, someone can agree or disagree with me and say that the two boycotts aren't cancel culture or is, as long as they're consistent. If someone believe boycotts are only legitimate on their side, that's when there's a problem.
