Complaining is a protected right. No. And yes! What is happening nowadays that DC and local state fascist leadership has realized that they will not and cannot pass this shit through traditional means because what they are doing is eliminating individual constitutional rights. What they CAN DO is force businesses to do it with the threat of fines/penalties or other. This is how they’ve gotten away with this Pandemic horse shit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the left and the right in this country are caught in a perpetual state of butthurt snowflakism. It’s fucking pathetic. Then you have libertarians and people who’s brains work who have never advocated for any of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSFB Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 3 minutes ago, Zambroski said: Anything can be overturned with new legislation. There is no good "cancel culture" and what the liberals think they are doing is going to end up poorly by stomping on rights that would be tough to pass in the legislative process. Oh there absolutely is some good "cancel culture". When a business owner repeatedly pisses off the entire community and everyone quits shopping there because of it, is that bad, is it "cancel culture"? What we call cancel culture now is just what's been happening for a long time on a larger scale because the Internet has made it so easy. Corporations have an interest in protecting their brand and they do so when the free market speaks and threatens the profitability of their company. What's stupid about liberals is this idea that anybody who makes a single mistake has to be cancelled or should be cancelled for some shit that happened twenty years ago. The argument of conservatives is disingenuous because nobody truly believes that all cancel culture should not exist. All we have to do is look at history to know that. Conservatives are upset because now the tables have turned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the new abortion for Republicans, because just like abortion they can milk it for a long time and never have to answer for their failures.

Tommcat Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 there is a difference between not liking a business, show or whatever, because of your religious beliefs or whatever crazy reason, and simply choosing not to buy from that company, Vs the liberal view that when they dont like it, then it needs to be banned.
