You all think it's bad now, watch the leftward shift if you get 4 more years of Trump.

You can laugh all you want 
For boycotts to be effective they have to have enough people on board. As long as they are not forcing others to join, boycotts function by mobilizing people.
In an alternate universe, any patriotic American who truly cared for freedom would object to this:
"Many United States states are using anti-boycott laws and executive orders to punish companies that refuse to do business with illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank, Human Rights Watch said today. More than 250 million Americans, some 78 percent of the population, live in states with anti-boycott laws or policies."

Cancel culture and boycotts over petty little nonsense are ridiculous...
...however, I find it hilarious that Republicans bitch so much about this stuff, considering Trump told his supporters to boycott the NFL until Kaepernick was fired because he took a knee to protest police brutality during the anthem.

I mostly agree with you on the virtue-signalling stupidity and devoid of any real meaning that is kneeling during the anthem before sporting events.
But I also find the (mock) outrage of the Trump supporter quite amusing and rather ludicrous.
Same deal with the nonsense going on over confederate statues right now. Nonsense back and forth.
The other statues however... progressives gone full retard.

Oh so true.
A corollary to the "Look! There goes Elvis!" defense.
The one challenge to that model, however, is that it again tends to favor elites. People with more disposable income and typically have benefitted from an unequal system can leverage a financial vote much greater than the average schmo. But when wasn't that ever true? But compared to the politics of one vote, one person, it is skewed.
Great example. That's government to government removing a financial voice.
South African Apartheid would have probably lived for much longer if these tactics were acted upon.
I don't get TikTok, just as I didn't get Vine. Same diff. Same stupid.
Intercepted! Clean play too. No flags.
If you want to see another bizarre side of virtue signaling, there's the whole white savior thing too. Take that lameassed country band, Lady Antebellum, deciding to change their name to Lady A, which a black singer has performed publicly for years. People are getting bent out of shape over two irrelevant musical acts.
But the telling part is I see lots of wypipo calling out "Antebellum" as a racist term. (It actually just means from a time before the Civil War, so Frederick Douglass' books on his slavery are Antebellum.) I don't know a single black person where this even registers as a concern. Not that words don't matter, but the whole thing smacks of white savior guilt activism over things black people really don't care about -- as they couldn't be bothered to actually ask black people what bothers them.
Oh, maybe like not having access to basic health care in the middle of a pandemic where public health policy is decimated and blacks are far more vulnerable than whites of COVID. But why lead the charge for something useful like revamping the ACA, right? Black people will instead reach the promised land through bitching about the names of lame country music acts.

Amazon banned Tiktok.

We are old, that's why. It's another way millennials and GenZs can tell the world what they are doing all the time and show how dumb they are. Another social media tool only this one is Chinese and essentially bricks your phone into a malware tool for CCP.

I mean it doesn't brick it in the sense we think a bricked phone is, but it basically offers China the opportunity to pull massive amounts of information form the users phone and in my line of work it may as well be a brick lol. One of my jobs have a WhatsApp chat going and I've been pleading with them to switch to Signal but people are fucking lazy and don't want to do the 5 minute switch.
