> Moreover, a lot of conservative complainers about “cancel culture” can’t seem to make up their minds what choices companies and consumers are allowed to make about their own market transactions, and what choices must be denounced as evil “cancel culture”.

Oh, it’s simple enough:

It’s the conservative complainer way: “I want everything my way.”
