>> When one of "our" companies engages in this shameful authoritarian appeasement we should boycott them to oblivion.

What's the difference between what you're promoting and the knee-jerk cancel culture that's as bad as what it punishes? I like to think we can influence and change behaviours without "boycotting companies into oblivion", even if that was realistic or likely. There's a large distance between your aggressive post on the internet and an entire country of people coordinating a campaign against specific business.

Just because some cancel culture is knee-jerk does not mean all attempts to cancel someone or something is necessarily wrong.
