Dear Hollywood,

This may come as somewhat of a shock, but the vast majority of our corn-fed American men and women who choose to wear the various uniforms of the United States Armed Forces are better people than you.

In every way.

Your poses to the contrary are nothing but empty fashion and gaseous bullshit. We ain't buying it and we certainly won't pay for it.

Fuck you very thankly.

Sincerely,

Your Fellow Americans (who are also better than you)

Compulsion is Compulsion, no matter who does it. This is Brilliant Theft is Theft, no matter who does it. Freedom of Association has no room in it for *private* action that takes that away Freedom of Association. If I have a business and have voluntary associations such that I choose to serve some people and to not serve others, that might make me a jerk and it might lose me business, it might make me smart and it might gain me business, but it's got to be my choice.

Does it really make a difference to losing my CHOICE to voluntarily associate if there's a law that says I may not serve "those people" o...

What Cancel Culture is NOT

Maybe we should talk about what cancel culture isn't. It's not a boycott. It's not deciding to no longer go to a business. It's not giving a bad review for bad service. It generally involves two things. First, the offense is a matter of opinion. Second, secondary or even tertiary targets are threatened. Cancellation does not need to be successful, and often with very famous and wealthy people it is not successful. But it serves as a warning to vulnerable people who are not in a position to weather that kind of attack. The goal is terroristic in that it's about forcing social behavior in people who are not currently the subject of the attack. The message is always, this could happen to you. And the tactic invariably includes seeking out vulnerable people to threaten in order to put pressure on businesses or on the target of the attack. So it works like this: JK Rowling is invulnerable. But they can try, right? So what they do is they find out who works for the pub...
