So, Walmart TRIES to be a "community-aware" business, in spite of its size. It TRIES to be inclusive, sensitive, and... well, Walmart wants to be all things to all people!
That can be taken as America's largest employer trying to be a "good citizen", or it can be taken as Corporate America trying to take over EVERYTHING!
So, a touch of back-story: In about 3 weeks, the US will celebrate our 2nd National Holiday commemorating Juneteenth - a traditional day of celebration, honoring the end of chattel slavery in the US.
So, what goes good with a celebration? Ice Cream!, party plates, balloons, you name it! It's a fucking celebration about the END of slavery! Pull out the stops! Go Freedom!
Except some ass-wipes want to interpret it as a celebration OF SLAVERY! (How very @raphjd of them, IMHO! Take something innocuous and intended to be positive and reinforcing, and purposefully interpret it in the most vile and obnoxious way possible!)
Walmart COULD have done a little more to make it about Juneteenth, and less about the capitalism - to be sure! For example the Juneteenth Ice Cream could have come from a black-owned business! But still, people! This is just the 2nd time in our history that we've actually CELEBRATED - as an entire country - the emancipation of all people (mostly PoC, but ALL people) from chattel slavery in this country!
I applaud Walmart for the EFFORT! Even if they missed the mark, they TOOK THE SHOT! They WERE TRYING to support FREEDOM! And they get a PR backlash instead.
Well, Black Society - don't come back around on June 19th and complain about how few parades and fireworks and other "celebrations" there are around your Juneteenth Holiday! You fucking scared off all of the sponsors who would PAY for that stuff!
So, instead of having some special "favors and flavors" to help mark the occasion, you can cook your generic hot dogs and hamburgers on your backyard grill - just you and your homies - and serve them on generic plates. With a little generic soda and beer - to REALLY make the day SPECIAL!
Go you!

And there you have it! The Putin side of you comes out of the closet!
Not quite full on fascist, but certainly authoritarian!
So much for your "Politics & Debate is a no-holds-barred open debate!"
You decry "cancel culture", but your answer to me is to "cancel" me? Who's the "RINO"? You ACT more like the college ALT-LEFT who want to CANCEL Conservative speakers from even being able to speak on their campuses! (So much for colleges being a "bastion of free speech"!)
I wasn't aware that this was your "safe space" - but the IDEA of a "safe space" is an ANATHEMA to the TOPIC of "Politics & Debate"
But - I will admit this: I was already tiring of your constant regurgitation of Russian (and Q) inspired, anti-American, conspiracy-theory-laden bullshit. If you're going to make this your "safe space" - your own private area to spout your alt-left and alt-right (curious combination, there) bullshit - and use your "Administrator" privilege to shut down people who oppose your communist, authoritarian idealism, then so be it!
I've always said "this is your playground - YOU make the rules" - because YOU are the Administrator... but there is no requirement that I, or anyone else, engage in your bullshit.
You can have your "Politics & Debate" floor all to yourself. Repeat Tucker Carlson & Putin & Q to your hearts content! I'm going to join the army of existing users who already IGNORE the "Politics & Debate" area of your playground... you can play with yourself!
Peace out, Girl Scout!

Did you enjoy your vacation in China, the land you and Dear Uncle love so much?
Ah, so sad to see China's whore rage quit.

blah blah blah - just suspend my account again, mein fuhrer

Umm, little girl, you were the one that immediately went for the personal attacks.
-
ROFL - you must have been looking in a mirror! YOU are the one who refuses to debate or discuss actual things - instead, you call me names (as-if doing so makes my arguments any less valid!)
But your self-delusional, power-hungry self couldn't POSSIBLY see that in yourself! Nope! Always someone ELSE's fault in your fantasyland world!
-
Have you forgotten that you came back from your little vacation in China and your first responses were nothing but personal attacks?
-
My "vacation" (you delude yourself there too?) was your autocratic response to a posting that was about the "cancel culture" gone awry - Walmart being punished for "not celebrating Juneteenth the "right way"...
Your response - because I made a point of how (again) leftist your "conservative" views align in practice - was to abuse your "power" and ban me from the site for a week.
Who is the one showing weakness there?
Who is the "cancel culture" activist there?
Who is the "leftist" in this picture?Of course, you won't respond to these - you'll call me a name...
Coward. Leftist. Authoritarian. @Raphjd - all synonyms!
The SAD thing is that you weren't always this way... you used to let politics be politics, and you used to try to defend your views...
-
The sad thing is, you can't post without personal attacks and bring up Trump at every turn.
-
Yeah - that is the sad thing... uh-huh...
