I thought this was of some interest, re Georgia, baseball and Coke, Woke-A-Cola.
Lisa Lerer, one of my least favorite pundits, calling out Republicans for Cancel Culture Capitalism
She asks quite disingenuously: What is cancelling, and who is cancelling who or what? Her menu today involves only Republicans.....conservatives spend a lot of time denouncing “cancel culture”— arguing that there should be little societal cost for unfettered free speech.
Your posts had focussed on left postmodern cancellation, and Brooks came out in the letter cited below against left cancel culture.
"...This heritage is threatened now on both sides of the political spectrum. Nearly 20 years ago, a high official of the George W. Bush Administration--generally thought to have been Karl Rove--placed that administration in opposition to what he called the "reality-based community." "We're an empire now," he said, "and we create our own reality." Now our president recreates reality to satisfy his own unconscious several times a day, and his whole staff and an entire television network bow, scrape, salute, and go forth to preach the new gospel. Yet things are not that much better on the other side of the political fence. I want to illustrate this by discussing two letters that were published this past week...." DK
Why not see the issues more in the round, against Lerer's diatribal rant?
All the best
