You realize the only reason big corporations fall all over themselves to give in to this kind of silly shite is so that they can placate the mobs before they start asking for something Really radical like hiking corporate taxes or major wealth redistribution.

Believe me it’s coming and the corporate suits are going to be much less enthusiastic.

If Biden wins in November, by November the next year corporate tax will be massively increased. Bet

Do you remember the 1980s and 1990s?

It seems like this cancel culture started with Jimmy the Greek making racial comments. A few years later it was Michael Richards, a few years later it was Imus. Now it is a couple of cancels a day.
Hopefully the cancellings are getting so saturated that the public will just start ignoring it.

It's like a whiny kid...you keep giving in, it only gets worse. You nut up and say NO enough, they stop.

The problem is that cancel culture went unchecked. The majority of things being "cancelled" today is just an absurd overreaction because people are looking for things to be "outraged" over so they can virtue signal on social media. Unfortunately, it seems no company has the balls to just say stop it so I imagine it will keep getting worse. I mean, the GOYA CEO is getting cancelled because he dared to say something positive about the president of the USA. That's it...he complimented Trump. I'm not even a fan of Trump but that is crazy to me.

If people just acted better and were nicer to one another regardless of one another’s beliefs, that would be a great starting point.

Seems like the large corporations are fearful of losing business from a customer base that is a minority.

How about the majority customer base tell these companies to forget about their customer dollars ?

Goes both ways doesn’t it ? Unless you are fearful of a MSM that antagonizes anything conservative.

This is a movement that appears to be driven not be equality but by absolute intimidation and fear.

Everyone should be treated fairly by police and the government. Seems to me this is about more than that ? Idk.

You guys do know about sucking donkey balls (aka Mississippi State Football (Wiki Link)) but that sammich simply does not suck donkey balls.

It really adds a lot of societal pressure to the insane leftist power grab when they do give in to the Marxist terrorists, and so stupid considering most of their ilk would love nothing more than tax the dogshit out of the company, board of directors, officers, everyone.
