Those on the right who support these maneuvers are not shy about telling you why they think they’re necessary. These companies enjoy outsize influence over the national discourse. They are imperious and unresponsive to democratic contrivances. They say the right’s refusal to fight fire with fire — especially in deference to abstract principles like the value of limited government and free enterprise — represents unilateral disarmament in an existential cultural struggle.What they don’t say is what these measures are supposed to achieve, especially after the courts invalidate them. If a simple gesture of hostility in the general direction of a particular problem satisfies these right-leaning critics of cultural progressivism, then they are only in the market for theatrics.
The difference today between a liberal and conservative is simple - the conservative sees someone he doesn't like living across the street so he doesn't cross the street and expects that the unliked neighbour won't bother him either.
ReplyDeleteThe liberal sees someone she doesn't like living across the street and can't handle it. Who cares if he never bothers me? Who cares if I can live my life without any interference from him? He's there! His existence is intolerable! He has to be gotten rid off or I can't be happy!
It's this attitude that is causing hostility on the right. You want to believe a man with a dress is actually a woman? Whatever, its your psychosis. But you want to "cancel" me because I won't play along and agree with you? You feel invalidated and annulled because I disagree with you? Go the hell away and cry to your psychiatrist!
Disney used to produce good, decent products. Now it churns out Woke crap and demands that I enjoy it and give it a good rating and if I don't, well I'm a horrible person! That's the hostility right there.

If these companies were run by right wing fanatics, the same people shouting about how terrible Florida is being to Disney would be demanding the government shut these companies down. Hypocrites.
