    Choosing to not see a movie is not cancellation

    Choosing not to drink a specific beer brand is not cancellation

    Not wanting tax paid healthcare is not cancellation

    You might want to look up the definition, that way you won’t look like an idiot next time.

      Choosing not to platform some psycho isn’t cancellation either. Choosing to ban racists/sexists/fascists/homophobes from places, businesses or websites isn’t cancellation either.

      Not wanting tax funded healthcare is simply wrong, but that’s a whole different story.

      Pressuring lawmakers into denying an election is cancellation. Banning books from schools is cancellation. Banning healthcare practices for adults is cancellation.

      The original meaning of the term is boycotting something morally wrong. It’s even funnier when you tell me to do research and you haven’t even done one bit yourself.

      To cease to provide financial or moral support to (someone deemed unacceptable). Point 10, here

      It would’ve been called “firing” if it just involved getting someone fired. And if your employer happens to fire you, then that’s a private decision that’s based on a democratic process. Good job!
