So Lavar Burton thinks Cancel Culture is a good thing? Well that irritates me and I want to say that if he does get to be named as the host of Jeopardy, I will never watch. But... the problem is that I would just be participating in Cancel Culture myself. Is there another way?

Turns out yes, there is another way, and it’s called forgiveness. And it turns out it was pretty important to the man known as Jesus. The woke religion of this world has it’s own doctrine and one of those teachings is that forgiveness is wrong.

Did I read too much into this story?

I think you’re confusing the word “forgiveness” for the word “enabler”. Christians do it all the time.

Erring on the side of forgiveness is what Christ commands. One must make an existential decision on whether forgiveness commands us to do something hazardous to our lives, our families lives, and the lives of our countrymen.

If people do you harm that is relatively benign, it’s easy to forgive. Even if they do you great harm, one can forgive as long as its not a given that they ‘ll just do it again shortly. But for those who will not rest until they have harmed you in the most grevious ways, there’s an old saying...”We shall forgive out enemies, but not until after they are hanged.”

No. You are exercising consumer choice. There is a difference between exercising choice and even making complaints to management expressing why you stopped using their product, and acting in concert with others to get someone fired and ruin that person's life.

Cancel culture doesn’t believe in forgiveness.
You must be very careful not to criticize anyone who identifies as part of an alphabet jambalaya. Even if an individual person appears to be totally insane or holds abhorrent ideas... if they belong to an acronym then they are protected as individuals and their personal behavior and ideas are irrelevant.
