I might not agree with what ICE is doing but I also don’t agree with every corporation in the world having to morally police all of their customers for fear of being pilloried by cancel culturists.

I don't think ICE behavior is remotely equivalent to celebrities who annoy people into trying to organize a boycott. To compare them like this suggests to me that the person doing so is either willfully complicit, or unfathomably out of touch. I hope you'll give your position some more thought.

I didn't say they are equivalent. I said I dislike them both.
