You mean to tell me that the Republican Party has never cancelled anyone/thing? You sure about that?

You mean, Republicans weren't burning their NIKE shoes because Kaepernick was in a NIKE ad?

Or when Republicans were throwing their Kuerigs out the window because their company pulled their ad from Hannity's airtime?

Or boycotting Busch because of their immigrant founder?

Or Doritos for making Rainbow Chips for kids for their sexual orientation?

Or Netflix over the Obama deal?

Or Yeti for dropping the NRA?

Or Dick's Sporting Goods because they stopped selling "assault style weapons"?

Or Air BnB because some resident owners were allowing "refugees" to stay in their homes?

Or Ben and Jerry's because they said they didn't support the travel ban?

Or Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Reddit, Apple, and Instagram (while using to platforms to plan said boycotts) for "silencing conservatives" or having "leftist propagandists" as CEOs?

Or Kelogg, Johnson & Johnson, and Nestle because they stopped advertising on Breitbart and/or Laura Ingraham's program?

Or Starbucks because of the "War on Christmas"?

Or Target because they don't specify what bathroom you must use and took down the "Girls" and "Boys" signs by the toys?

Or Macy's and Nordstrom's because they dropped Ivanka Trump's clothing line (because it wasn't selling - they weren't even trying to make a political statement here)

Or United Airlines, Delta Airlines, REI, Hertz, and Enterprise because they ended their NRA rewards programs?

Or Amazon because Bezos publicly disapproved of the travel ban?

Or Marvel because they "promote social justice warriors"?

Or ESPN because "they should just stick to sports"?

Oh, and let's not forget all the news outlets that aren't FOX/OAN

So, I mean aside from that? Nope, none. It's "the left" that's full of wallet grabbing snowflakes...

Wait a minute... what were you saying? I forgot amid all the cancellations from the right...

You seem to have mistaken 'voting with your dollar' with cancel culture censorship. The difference is the stores aren't refusing to sell the Nikes, Kuerigs, Busch, Rainbow Chips. ISPs aren't refusing to serve Netflix, etc...etc...
That's the difference.

Saw this on reddit and I thought it was pretty accurate, tell me what you think!

"It is fairly well known that in American politics, and especially on the right side of the aisle, the idea of Voting with your Dollar is pretty pervasive. It is viewed as the reason that Democracy and Capitalism work so well together, as being able to vote with your dollar is seen as the best way to democratize the economy in line with a democratic government. Cancel Culture, on the other hand, is pretty universally hated in what it has become, with people being fired for minor slights or misspeaking. Sometimes people even are punished for the actions of other people.

Voting with your dollar is fundamentally about refusing to spend money with a company, or choosing to spend money at their competitor (the classic push and pull). This includes refusing to spend money at a company for moral reasons, such as the company donating to things you disagree with, or the company hiring someone you find morally repugnant. Companies are driven purely by profits nowadays, and will undergo pretty extreme measures to make more profit, often at the expense of their employees. Thus, when enough people start using their dollars to vote against a company, often times for someone on their staff making socially unacceptable comments, the logical step for the company is fire the employee to get those voting dollars back.

CMV: For those that believe in Voting with your Dollar as a widespread policy, it is entirely hypocritical of them to say that Cancel Culture is a problem without addressing the root of that problem (capitalism). It is merely the people & the economy exercising the policies they support, just in a way they don't like."
