Cancel Culture Is a Good Thing and Nothing New

When I see progressives lament about cancel culture my blood boils! It’s bad enough that liberals and progressives are politically pusillanimous, but when these same people equivocate about employing the power of the dollar to effectuate social change then what the f*** is to be done? Let me guess. Strongly worded letters of disappointment and entreatments for people and companies to just “do the right thing” or change their behavior? Once again it is the f***tarded belief that words backed by no action will be successful. God-f***ing-d****it! Progressives and liberals are so unwilling to do what it takes! So funny that I don’t remember so much pushback when cancel culture was known by other names: boycott and blacklisting. It’s all the same f***ing thing; it just has a new moniker in the age of social media because now one can “cancel” a person as it seems — again all that meant in the pre-social media era was that people avoided watching the offender’s movies, TV shows, avoided buying their books, or blacklisting him or her from social and entertainment events. I boycott brands and businesses all the f***ing time, the most recent being Goya! Since America knows only the power of profit then cancel culture is the only means by which society demands private businesses to change.
