"No, I'm telling the truth and you're ignoring things you don't like, making massive assumptions, and stacking the deck.

Also you failed to address your use of equivocation and even if that is given a pass the definition you are using is different from is different from a boycott in general and fits within my argument. You also ignored official definitions that disagree with you and are lying and pretending they do not exist, as per the Webster definition that backs up the two you wish to pretend do false."

Because there is no false equivalency. Last I checked, US Senators, US Representatives, Colin Kaepernick, Hannah Montana, and our World War 2 vets are not companies. They're people. Republicans are literally cancelling any senator or representative who voted against trump by using the government through legal means to censure what they have said against Trump. Claiming, that it's okay because the Democrats did it. Which, they didn't.

Democrat Senators and Representatives do not control Twitter, or Amazon and are completely separate from each other. If Trump was blocked it was because he violated the TOS of Twitter. Parler was shut down as it was the platform used to coordinate the Capitol Riots. Amazon refused to do business with them any more after that. So, was Amazon cancelling Parler? Or terminating service?

Since Trump has made it clear that he holds the office of the Former President (Lol, Obama, Bush and Clinton all hold that office too, I guess.) He is no longer an individual but a governmental entity. Not even legally so at that since he made up the office in the first place. So, it's not cancelling if he identifies as an office.

Anyway, since I spoke the words and made the message, I choose what definitions I am using since I own the message I send. If I explain my definitions that I am using and you refuse to acknowledge it because it doesn't suit your narrative, that's not my problem. That's your problem that you can't come face to face with your own hypocrisy. Kthnx.

So, you're choosing to wilfully ignore the verbiage that the definition provides, in essence, I'm not fitting your narrative even though the definition offers the "Or."

But, wait, haven't you cancelled Kaepernick, your Senators and Representatives? Those aren't companies, those are people. You can't boycott them. So, I guess I'm not a liar after all. You're just a hyper-partisan shill who can't face their own hypocrisy :) Cheers.

2/ PEPSI
After Trump was elected, Pepsi CEO Indra Nooyi went on stage at the The New York Times DealBook Conference and described the panic her employees felt on election night.

“Our employees were all crying,” Nooyi said. “And the question that they're asking, especially those who are not white, ‘Are we safe?’ Women are asking, ‘Are we safe?’ LGBT people are asking, ‘Are we safe?’ I never thought I would have to answer those questions.”

Her story was quickly contorted by Trump supporters, who circulated false comments attributed to Nooyi claiming she had said for Trump fans to “take their business elsewhere.” In reality, Nooyi never said anything to that extent, and even congratulated the president-elect on his victory.

Nevertheless, Trump supporters called for a boycott of Pepsi.

GILLETTE
The year is 2019, and conservative culture warriors are still getting upset over innocuous, socially conscious advertising. Gillette debuted an ad in January this year that hit viewers over the head with a message challenging the outdated definition of what it means to “be a man.” The ad’s tagline: “We Believe: The Best Men Can Be.” In short, the razor company took on toxic masculinity in order to hock more product.

NORDSTROM
The department store announced it would no longer sell Ivanka Trump’s brand after sales of the line reportedly plummeted at the end of 2016 as the Trump name became more and more controversial.

Trump supporters accused Nordstrom of anti-Trump bias, and Trump himself accused them of treating his daughter “so unfairly.”

And so Trump supporters boycotted the luxury department store.

NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE
You would think supposed manly men would never boycott the NFL, of all things, but you’d be wrong.

It all started when former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick began kneeling during the national anthem before games to silently protest police brutality in the United States.

"You know, you not supplying any proof that boycotting is an effect for any of that, or the goal of the boycott is to cancel any of this stuff."

1/ All the things you can no longer buy if you're a true MAGA Trump Fan:

#BoycottWalmart spread among Trump supporters. The company’s offense? Third-party markets on Walmart’s website sold T-shirts with “Impeach Trump” and “Impeach 45” emblazoned on them.

Barack and Michelle Obama entered into a “multi-year agreement” with Netflix last year that will reportedly see the ex-president and first lady produce both films and series for the streaming platform. The partnership caused some MAGA fans to own the libs by proclaiming en masse that they would cancel their Netflix subscriptions for fear the new content from their nemesis ex-president would taint the other 850 original content titles now offered on the platform.

BUDWEISER
In 2017, Budweiser ditched the Clydesdales to run a pro-immigration Super Bowl ad depicting a fictionalized version of founder Eberhard Anheuser, a German immigrant, leaving his home country to brew what is now considered a quintessential American beer. The ending title card reads: “When nothing stops your dream. This is the beer we’ll raise.”
"No thanks... it's time to #BoycottBudweiser. We don't need your beer, your opinions, and your illegal immigrants."

STARBUCKS
Trump’s 2017 immigration ban garnered an intentional response from the Seattle-based coffee company. Starbucks announced it would hire 10,000 refugees within five years as a direct countermeasure to Trump’s policy.

OREO
Trump declared that he would not be “eating any more Oreos” after Mondelez International, the parent of Nabisco, which produces Oreos, announced it would move some of its Chicago operations to Mexico. Trump claimed the move would cost 2,000 American jobs; the actual number was closer 600. Accuracy aside, the president’s supporters obliged, even joining in on an impassioned chant of “no more Oreos” at the president’s behest during a rally in Las Vegas, Nevada.

There is also no such thing as an equivalation falacy. When you come in trying to call people out on things for their fallacies, strains credulity on the notion that you actually took an english class at all at the college level.

Your* response also tells me your* lack of knowledge or willingness to google the shit that comes out of your mouth (like diarrhea from burritos at a truck stop,) So, how can one trust that you know what you're talking about with regard to politics or even something as simple as cancel culture when you don't know the difference between your and you're, and you write something as dumb as "equivalation fallacy."

Choosing to not buy from a company is very different than trying proactive steps to force them out of business. You wish to hyperfocus on that one part while ignoring the parts of the defection that doesn't fit is not intellectually honest, and neither is insulting a replacement for reasoning.

Ah, welcome back! I see you're here to continue the exercise in futility. Very well, I'll happily oblige.

I have satisified all interpretations of all those sites you listed on both the individual and the corporate level. You're trying to say no, I didn't. I say you're wrong. That is fact. You don't want to face the truth that I putting down.

What you've done is taken my meme out of context, and applied it to your own individual context as for all of the items or examples listed in the meme are American products (with the exception of CLimate change and the WHO). It can be implied (especially with the eagle and the American flag) that I am referring to American conservatives.

So instead of gaslighting me about demographics, maybe you should try to learn about the targeted/intended audience. I don't see any bagpipes on this, or kilts, or anything else for that matter, to represent "Scotsmen" as I think you referred to.

No, you utterly failed to satisfy all interpretations of even one, as I showed with Jim crow laws fitting your preferred definition and yet falling outside your argument. You have not addressed any of the other definition and as such have reached the level ​of lying.

What you call taking out of context is your failure to address the term as it is frequently used and thus you contradict you assertion of that you "satisified all interpretations". You even admitted to using your own definition and thus not addressing the term as used.

And what you call gaslighting me pointing out your repeated use of a invalid reasoning. Also see https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/no-true-scotsman as you clearly do not know what the term means.

The funny thing is, memes are *all* about logical fallacy, and you're trying to say [Image]. So, good for you? The message was made, and received.

But, to humor you:

Many conservatives in America identify as Republicans. Of that demographic, a great majority of them identify as Trump supporters. Of those, a statistically practical entirety of them decry cancel culture. The irony, is that they participate in cancel culture themselves.

When we look at cancel culture, there are two examples to follow, the individual and the corporate.

Corporate:
When a buyer cannot fire a business for their moral standpoints, they simply stop buying the product in the hopes that they will go out of business and cease to exist as a corporate entity.

Individual:
When an individual takes controversial standpoints, people may call for their resignation. Usually, if a company fails to do relieve that individual of their position within that company, the buyers will escalate their tactics and call for a boycott.

Case in point, Kaepernick was denounced for how he kneeled in the NFL to protest police brutality. After he was not kicked from the team (in spite of not throwing a ball since Jan 1st 2017 until dated time of Sept '19 (haven't checked since), some fans grew angry and decided to boycott the NFL. This boycott failed.

While the left readily admits to being part of cancel culture, they ignore negative connotations and instead, re-label it as "Accountability Culture," Implying that one should be held accountable to things that they say or do. Whereas the right-wing will make the same actions, while at the same time, calling cancel culture toxic.

Yep. Definitions are satisfied here. By all means, continue to be my little poster boy bitch and whine and complain how it isn't. I've never seen someone so willing to prove me right. Again. And again. And again.

Cancel Culture: https://www.forbes.com/sites/evangerstmann/2021/03/22/what-is-cancel-culture/?sh=449f6c58bd55
“A highly punitive approach to disagreement or perceived transgressions, based on strict fidelity to ideology (usually progressive) that elevates performative outrage over dialogue, factual inquiry, or respect for values such as free speech or fair process. It rejects the value of ideological diversity. It is often exercised by powerful corporations, editors, academic administrators, or unaccountable attackers operating through anonymous social media platforms. It rejects the distinction between offense and harm, between disagreement and discrimination, and between words and actions. It often reduces complex issues to a binary view such as one can only be “anti-racist” or “racist.” It rejects the importance of a person’s intent in making a statement and refuses to take into account how long ago a statement was made, the person’s age at the time they made it, or whether the statement in any way reflects a person’s current thinking.”

The examples I've used fit within this definition.

I am using it correctly, just not the way you want.

Repeating your falsehood over and over doesn't make it any more right.

"It rejects the value of ideological diversity. It is often exercised by ... unaccountable attackers operating through anonymous social media platforms."

An example of this is calls to boycott.

Feels good to win an argument.

(Continued Chain)"No, I'm telling the truth and you're ignoring things you don't like, making massive assumptions, and stacking the deck.

Also you failed to address your use of equivocation and even if that is given a pass the definition you are using is different from is different from a boycott in general and fits within my argument. You also ignored official definitions that disagree with you and are lying and pretending they do not exist, as per the Webster definition that backs up the two you wish to pretend do false."

"you're ignoring things you don't like..." What am I ignoring? I've acknowledged your definitions. All of them. You're trying to focus on one particular answer that focuses on one particular aspect of Cancel Culture from one specific source that doesn't include what I am talking about. You're the one ignoring.

Websters Definition:
Definition of cancel culture - Noun
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cancel%20culture
: the practice or tendency of engaging in mass canceling (see CANCEL entry 1 sense 1e) as a way of expressing disapproval and exerting social pressure

Cancel
transitive verb
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cancel#h1
entry 1e:: to withdraw one's support for (someone, such as a celebrity, or something, such as:

------> a company) <----

publicly and especially on social media

I think I know what happened, you didn't click the link telling you to look at this. You know what that's called? Confirmation bias. You're laden with it. You saw what you wanted, didn't do any further research.

Point being, my meme talks about how the Right-wing is guilty of cancel culture as they cancel companies. They do it. End of story :) You don't have "definitions" that say otherwise.

No, you're simply ignoring the parts of the definition that you don't like. You also now pretending to know what I did and think as matches what you wish to be true rather than the facts, see the very first definition that I gave you in the meme that shows you are lying about my position.
