Conservatives: "The free market is superior! Deal with it!"

Conservatives when the free market decides against them: "THIS IS LITERALLY SOCIALISM"

People boycotting businesses as is their right in the free market: "CANCEL CULTURE!"

Not when they’re the ones boycotting businesses. “go woke go broke!!” is fantastic, according to the same people who are obsessed with opposing “cancel culture”.

to be fair, the idea of voting with money still sucks because it gives some people a lot more votes than others, but when wannabe future billionaire conservatives can't even get presently rich people to play along with their bootlicker bullshit that's just funny

Just because it's you agree with the right to boycott a business, doesn't mean you can't disagree with certain boycotts.

Just like how agreeing with the right to free speech doesn't mean you agree with the speech of every single person.

Conservatives hate the free market when it tells them that they're free to go take a long walk off a short pier.
