Hey guys. Long-time lurker here. I've been watching both the culture war and world news, and recently there's been something that I haven't seen anyone really talk about. So here I am giving my thoughts.

Many companies have left the Russian market after their invasion of Ukraine. Aviation companies, tech companies, sports organizations, now even the big boys like Visa, Mastercard and PayPal are pulling out.

I think that what we're witnessing is the cancellation of an entire nation, which is the next step in cancel culture. And it will set a terrible precedent.

People can argue that Russia's cancellation is justified because of the Ukraine war, but that's not relevant at all.

This genie is out of the bottle now. If it's happened before it can happen again, and for less and less serious offenses.

What's that? Your country refuses to cave in to the wokists and implement Diversity, Inclusivity and Equity policies? We're going to cancel you until you change your mind, then maybe we'll demand more and more concessions because nothing you ever do will be enough.

No nation in the world is going to be safe, except Daddy China, because the wokists will never go after China even though they're actually genociding minorities. The only way to save your nation from this would be to become self-sufficient, and that would be extremely difficult in this financialized, globalist economy.

We seem to live in very dark times. Nation-states are becoming irrelevant in favor of a globalist woke order.

What do you guys think? Am I right on the money with this or am I over-reacting to recent events?
