I said this before and I’ll say it again: far and away the quickest to offend are IME the ones who cry about “wokeness”, and the quickest to refuse to purchase a product or engage in straight up stupidity like buying a bad product because they agree with the creator’s politics (for example, those square pillows) are the ones who cry about “cancel culture”. Where was this whine about cancellation when Colin Kaepernick couldn’t get a job? Or the Dixie Chicks back in the day? It sure seems like the terms are only trotted out when people whose politics you don’t agree with engage in this behavior…

I mean, look, buy what you want to buy or vice versa. They aren’t my dollars and capitalism does allow you to spend money where you want. Just don’t act like you’re anything but the petulant little snowflake you accuse certain others of being when you throw around your dog whistle language.
