       This is likely to sow confusion over what is meant by "Cancel
       Culture". I suspect it is a rightist meme. We ourselves should
       always use the term "Cancel Culture" accurately, to refer only
       to business decisions made by private entities.

       Perhaps I should have stated I found it buried among many
       rightist pro-Putin memes.

       Our enemies complain about Russia being cancelled:

       > Russian classical music is so glorious even the Communists
       couldn’t stamp it out. However, the Metropolitan Opera said it
       would cut ties with Russian artists or institutions “allied” (to
       use state-funded NPR’s word) with President Vladimir Putin. One
       casualty was soprano Anna Netrebko.
       > ...
       > Another victim was conductor Valery Gergiev, whose who lost
       his job with the Munich Philharmonic. “I would have expected him
       to reconsider and revise his very positive assessment of the
       Russian ruler,” said the mayor of Munich. “He didn’t.” Even in
       an article supposedly against the “hazardous path” of imposing
       “a moral test on musicians,” the conductor must pay for his
       “close ties to the Russian regime.” Unless a Russian is willing
       to denounce his president and country in wartime at the behest
       of foreigners, he can lose his job.

       However, one restaurant went further and said it wouldn’t serve
       people with Russian passports, though I have never heard of a
       restaurant that checks your passport before it lets you order. A
       Russian restaurant owner in Germany has also faced
       cancellations, despite putting up a sign that says “war has no
       place in our communities” (in English).
       > ...
       > Alcohol is political. Governor Chris Sununu of New Hampshire
       signed an executive order directing state-run liquor stores to
       stop selling Russian products. Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Utah have
       done the same. Vodka brands that are not Russian are loudly
       advertising that fact. There have been many news stories
       instructing readers which brands are Russian and which are not.
       --- End Quote ---
       I would say just don't drink any vodka! It's not just about the
       brand, but about simply not wanting to degrade oneself by
       drinking a Russian-invented liquor.

       > What prides itself as the “United Nations of cat federations”
       (FIFe) has banned Russian-owned and Russian-bred cats from all
       competitions because it “cannot just witness these atrocities

       Back to enemy article:
       FIFA has banned Russia indefinitely, meaning the country won’t
       be able to compete for the World Cup. The International
       Paralympic Committee has also banned Russian athletes.
       ...
       Spotify is removing content from RT and Sputnik. Russia banned
       Facebook, and Facebook cut users in the EU off from RT and
       Sputnik. YouTube blocked ads from Russian state-owned media
       companies.
       ...
       Amazon banned shirts with the letter “Z” that could be construed
       as supporting Russia.[/quote]
       Our enemies think it is wrong to treat Russia this way. I think
       we should treat Israel this way also:

       Putin Claims West Is Trying To Cancel Russia
       --- Quote ---
       > "Today they are trying to cancel a whole thousand-year-old
       country, our people,” said the Russian president, going on to
       compare the West’s purported banning of Russian books to events
       in Nazi Germany. In a surprising digression, he also mentioned
       J.K. Rowling and her controversial gender identity opinions.

       panic. On July 12 a new law came into force in the country
       forbidding the "comparison of the actions of the USSR and
       Germany during the Second World War". It is one of the
       provisions that follow the constitutional amendments approved
       last year, which also include the 'correct reading of patriotic
       history'.

       article on his presidential website about relations between
       Russians and Ukrainians, whom he describes as 'common heirs of
       the ancient Rus'.  He points out that it was the Soviet Union
       that saved the 'unity of the Eastern Slavs' during the Nazi
       invasion. The piece is only the latest in a series of Kremlin
       interventions on the importance of a correct historical reading
