The Lennon boycott.Hypocrisy? Hypocrisy might apply if "cancel culture" really were somehow an invention of the Left. However, HISTORY tells us otherwise...
The "hypocrisy" is the people who had no problem with Country Radio stations and DJs joining together and boycotting the playing of Dixie Chick albums. If "private censorship" exists as some want to claim then THIS is Censorship because NO radio stations were playing any Chick albums to the Chicks target market- Country music...
On the other hand, Amazon is making a decision for THEIR Marketplace space, and is not trying to keep anyone from READING the book or being able to purchase it from ANYONE else. THAT is NOT Censorship, just like Joe Blow's Christian bookstore deciding to refuse to carry what it deems objectionable material is also NOT censorship.
Now for the yabuuttt crowd... Isn't that basically your way of deflecting from examining your own hypocrisy? I mean the policy had to originate SOMEWHERE,and I remember consumer boycotts basically originating as early as the 60s against people like Jim Morrison and The Beatles. In other words from folks on the RIGHT of the political spectrum...
Along with examples like those and what happened to the Chicks, I think it would be pretty hard for any of you to REALISTICALLY try and claim "cancel culture" is an invention of the Left. Anybody remember anyone on the Left in 1960-66 influential enough to "cancel" anyone, as relates to the population as a whole?
Yet the usual suspects seem to want to pretend they are only reflecting both sides, to try and hide their hypocritical claims that the Left is somehow to blame for engaging in the same sort of mass-market influence/ boycotts that the Right in this country wrote the book on...I guess that sort of twisted logical fallacy will work if you are posting to appeal to VanPastor Man or Mas... Congrats???
