Boycott used to be a necessary and lauded aspect of American democracy and free markets.

Now it’s been relabeled “cancel culture” and the public are fascists for denying a person here and there oodles of figurative prestige.

A minority of elites sure have the masses convinced “canceling” a rich person is the true threat to democracy.

The end of a society is nigh when the elites are fighting to preserve their power to exploit the masses carte blanche. We grow their potatoes; not the other way around, and don’t you forget it!
