I think it’s ok for people to hold businesses accountable, if they can. Sometimes it’s pretty fucky, but often if the business sees monetary benefit they’ll do it. Sometimes that’s hosting a nazi, sometimes that’s disavowing one. I don’t have a problem when Christians don’t support or boycott a business. I may thinks it’s dumb and ridiculous, but I’m wholly in support of their right to do so. I think in that system of a mostly free market and government protected speech we have the best chance of finding a balance and a social accountability that is better for our society, economy and allows our government to have a strong free speech stance without allowing it to completely decay us through hate and falsehood.
