The year is 2040, and only half the country is open because the other half was cancelled. Make sure to vote for the other guy so we can un-cancel that half. I miss it.

A CEO donating isn't going to make me not eat at that company. A citizen making a donation is just that.

And frankly, I'm not sure any moderately sized company or bigger is going to hold up ethical purity.

Well I must protect the jobs of the low level employees that don't agree with the CEO so I will continue to get that food as often as I already do (which, incidentally, is pretty rare, but this isn't going to change that).

this. i would still eat there regardless of religious/political affiliation price point is what matters to me.
though i would eat the local place more but the food isn't as filling as 3 medium burrito's from the bell.

And chick-fil-A went on to be one of the most profitable fast food chains in a year. Cant remember if it was that year but ita safe to say it didnt hurt them. All these boycotts do is make the people who support the reasons you are boycotting just go there and support their business further out of spite.

There is no cancel culture. No one is trying to stop you from eating where you want to eat. Pointing problems isn't canceling something.

its not. this isn't "cancel culture". this is just people choosing to eat where they want based on their personal beliefs. isn't that what conservatives are for?

gatorsPENSbucs posted... There was a topic just recently about it here with a solid agreement that it doesnt exist.

https://www.vox.com/culture/2019/12/30/20879720/what-is-cancel-culture-explained-history-debate
https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/30/politics/obama-cancel-culture/index.html
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/28/style/is-it-canceled.html?searchResultPosition=6
https://reason.com/2019/12/31/cancel-culture-2019-year/

To me, its ultimately an expression of agency, said Meredith Clark, a professor at the University of Virginias department of media studies. To a certain extent: I really do think of it like a breakup and a taking back of ones power. Canceling, she said, is an act of withdrawing from someone whose expression whether political, artistic or otherwise was once welcome or at least tolerated, but no longer is.
Its a cultural boycott, said Lisa Nakamura,a professor at the University of Michigan who studies the intersection of digital media and race, gender and sexuality. Its an agreement not to amplify, signal boost, give money to. People talk about the attention economy when you deprive someone of your attention, youre depriving them of a livelihood.
etc.

So, Vipa, are you saying you're smarter than professors and journalists among others on the subject of Cancel Culture?

Edit: A New York Times journalist interviewing Bernie about Cancel Culture
and to no surprise, Bernie not having a clue as to what it means.

-- BERNIE learns about cancel culture: NYT: Speaking of young people, recently President Obama made remarks around cancel culture and this idea SANDERS: Around what? NYT: Cancel culture. Cancel culture. SANDERS: Cancel culture. AH: Are you aware of that phrase? SANDERS: Help me out a little bit. Give me a hint. AH: So cancel culture essentially is often attributed to younger people, millennials, and this idea that if you put out a critique of a public figure and call for either the resignation or for their cancellation, that sort of thing. SANDERS: Oh, I see.

Huh... If I decide not to eat at some place because I have a disagreement on where or to what they allocate their money to, I'll simply not eat there. I don't go proclaiming about it on social media for everyone to hear.

On Monday afternoon, Trump is set to participate in a roundtable discussion with restaurant-industry leaders on the field's recovery from the coronavirus pandemic. The leaders include Panera CEO Niren Chaudhary; Jose Cil, the CEO of Burger King and Popeyes' parent company, Restaurant Brands International; Thomas Keller, a fine-dining restaurateur; and Muy Cos. CEO James Bodenstedt.

Tilman Fertitta, the billionaire CEO of Landry's which owns restaurant brands such as Bubba Gump, Del Frisco's, and Joe's Crab Shack is also speaking on the roundtable. Fertitta donated $35,000 to the Trump Victory PAC in February.

[...]

"While it's nice that these business owners want to help the government fight coronavirus, it confirms that cronyism is at the root of practically every decision President Trump makes," Donald Sherman, the deputy director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, told Insider in April.
He added: "It's loyalty or patronage to Trump that gets you at the top of the list, whether it's a place on the White House lawn to promote your business, input in the coronavirus response, ambassadorships, and even IG positions."

Guess Burger King, Popeyes, Panera Bread, and more are canceled as well.

With those opinions, are you not already?

Canceling only applies if you're already invested in said thing being cancelled, as that actually has impact compared to something that wasn't receiving your attention in the first place.
