The Right Has Embraced the Cancel Culture It Claimed to Hate (jacobin.com)

NYU’s decision to withhold Logan Rozos’s degree for denouncing genocide in Gaza in his graduation speech is the latest example of right-wing cancel culture. After criticizing it on the Left, conservatives have learned to rally “woke” mobs of their own.

What about them? Country music group, changed their name because of the intonations of Dixie south and its connection to human rights abuses?

Lady Antebellum, too. They arent cancelled, they made wonderful music and still perform.

The media definitely made them much less visible after their Bush comments. For years

Just that the right tried to cancel them. Whether they succeeded is besides the point, I think? Because it's an example of them engaging in cancel culture.
