"The line about freedom of choice is a throwback" ...
"throwback"
I'll say.
BTW, did you know that "atavism" is derived from French? Perhaps we all ought to be boycotting those too. Pork, beef, bon vivant, gourmet, noble. Liberty, equality, fraternity. The list is endless.
By all means, boycott whatever you choose. As you say, I don't have to like it. In fact, if I were to like something you said, I should take my temperature.
