The march toward fascism continues.
-
Certain conservatives fully abandon libertarian ideals and decide they have the right to control what others do, read and, apparently now, purchase. So much for their opposition to "cancel culture."
-
@jaroonn Better title: "The march toward Lib Idiocy continues."
Hey ignoramus - Companies responding to legal citizen pressure (the article hints at illegal, but all vague & I doubt it) isn't fascism.
Companies responding to government pressure, is.
Because one of classic defs of fascism is: merger of companies & government.
When government jails citizens for dissent while telling companies where when how it would like more citizens censored.... That's real shit.
Get a clue.
Target's ugly, unwanted offerings didn't exist in market 2 weeks ago and pushing them to back of store does no harm to your rights. Or anyone's.
Unless, hypothetical, ur fatass who can't drive ur scooter 50 feet.
If any Target stores have been - you know - Burned Looted Murdered, that is different & I join you in condemning.
"If."
WaPo version: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/05/24/target-lgbtq-clothing-controversy-boycott/
Again - the spokeswhatever has vague hints about "safety" - says nothing real.

In week since this became controversy, Target stock down 12%.

Cmon @jaroonn - Dont give up too easy. Defend Target. Describe how world stock market is anti-gay transphobic & a fascist threat.
@spintendo Be sure to tell us how NY Post article must be wrong, must be fake news, seeing as u hate NY Post & its Macedonians.
PS. Article finally has a specific - displays were knocked down.
About that - Note how Target struck at customers first, going out of its way to offend them:
Designs by Abprallen, a London-based company that designs and sells occult- and satanic-themed LGBTQ+ clothing and accessories, [were offered]
Target had its own customer base of Christian, Muslim & Jewish moms & kids walking by products that, in some cases, expressly worship satan. (NOT lgb pride)
-
One of the shirts said, "Satan respects pronouns".
-
@raphjd Oh no.... Not the pronouns! LOL
-
Target literally promoted satan.
When Target customers felt unsafe, and a few displays got kicked,
- spokeswhatever said "-We- feel unsafe"
- CEO apologized to LGB (wtf?? homophobically linking us to satan)
- some cried fascism
But Antifa/BLM can burn & loot entire Target stores, no prob.
-
@blablarg18 You chose the most appropriate moniker.
-
@blablarg18 Yeah.... It's a sad and strange world that we live in at this day and age. It really makes me wonder how some people manage to reproduce. There should be a universal law in all countries that says that if both parents have the combined IQ of a potato, they should not be allowed to reproduce. That would solve much of the issues we're having at this day and age.
When it comes to riots, looting, arson, etc. people don't bat an eye, but the moment that religious belief comes into the picture, all shit seems to hit the fan and everyone goes into some kind of satanic panic as it was once called back in the day.
-
@blablarg18 It doesn't matter if people were offended. Isn't that the whole point of the Right's "Cancel Culture" crusade (First Amendment and all that?). The Right is only concerned about "cancelling" conservative voices. They don't give a rat's ass about anyone else's. Ask librarians in Florida and Texas, asswipe (alleged).
-
@jaroonn Cancel culture is all about promoting a bullshit agenda. It's all about "we're allowed to say and do as we please, but you can't because it doesn't agree with our views".
What sickens me is just how far some people will go to force their beliefs or views down the throats of other people's, while simultaneously trying to silence and deny any view, thought, or expression that doesn't fit their narrative.
-
Lots of people have cancel culture embedded in laws.
As Jordan Peterson said some years ago, when he originally made the news, he was not against using preferred pronouns but he was against state mandated speech.
Strangely, you people have no problem with laws that prevent LGBTs from saying "hate speech" against believers, as long as they are not Christians or jews, while the same hate speech laws allow believers to use their religion to spew hate speech against us. This is the case in Scotland and some other European countries. You have no problem when non-whites go on anti-white racist rants, but lose your minds when a white person criticizes that non-white for their racist rants.
-
@raphjd As you assume to know what I believe or what drives me crazy, or you think that it is logical to lump me into a group of "you people," there really is no point in pretending we are having a worthwhile discussion. What really drives me crazy is trying to have a rational discussion with a blind zealot. You not only lack substance in your arguments, but also erroneously presume that everyone is as mule-headedly dogmatic as you seem to b
-
I noticed that you didn't respond to the fact that YOU PEOPLE embedded cancel culture into laws, throughout the western world.
YOU PEOPLE did that, not conservatives.
YOU PEOPLE mandated speech that YOU PEOPLE like.
Pornographic books in elementary schools is what YOU PEOPLE fight for and are angry that conservatives don't want that.
YOU PEOPLE won't condemn dirty politicians on your side, but get butt hurt and screechy over losers like Santos, whom conservatives have condemned.
Until you and the rest of the liberals here start condemning things done by liberals, then it will remain YOU PEOPLE.
-
@raphjd said in The march toward fascism continues.:

I am not in favor of any form of censorship.
Pornographic books in elementary schools is what YOU PEOPLE fight for and are angry that conservatives don't want that.
I challenge you to provide one example of a pornographic book First Amendment Supporters condone being in elementary schools. Just one.
YOU PEOPLE won't condemn dirty politicians on your side, but get butt hurt and screechy over losers like Santos, whom conservatives have condemned.
Al Franken resigned. Santos is still in Congress. And a convicted sex criminal may be headed to the White House.
Until you and the rest of the liberals here start condemning things done by liberals, then it will remain YOU PEOPLE
And here you prove my point. You have no idea what I condemn or don't condemn. But you know what? I don't give a shit. I left the US years ago when I saw what was happening as YOU PEOPLE started taking over. YOU PEOPLE ignore experts, scientists, highly-educated academics and instead deify idiots. Who are your heroes? Who are your role-models? What great thinkers are currently associated with the Right? The GOP has become the party of mediocre numbskulls. You've got no one who is even remotely mammal to rally behind. But I don't care. I can just watch from afar and thank GOD I don't have to be a part of the mess. I wish you all the best and a government full of Trumps, Boebberts, Greenes, Jordans, and McCarthys. Good luck...you deserve whatever comes.
-
The books were already discussed here and info provided. @hubrys even called me an asshole over it. You can look for the discussion yourself.
Umm, YOU PEOPLE love to play the "science" game. You only support the science that suits your agenda.
YOU PEOPLE screech "my body my choice" while demanding that you control our bodies.
It's comical having you list names of Repubs, while having AOC and countless others in the DNC.
You really are sad and pathetic.
-
@raphjd AOC is a rock star compared to anything you have. I have no interest in your body or trying to control it. How do liberals try to control your body? How do you define "pornography" (oh, the irony).
Science is science. Facts are facts. Don't be one of those too stupid to see that.
Thanks you for your concern as to my well-being, but I am extremely happy that I am no longer living in that shitshow of a country. All the best!
-
AOC has 2 BSs Economics and International Relations. She doesn't know anything about either.
Clearly, you are too stupid to understand the difference between pornography in an elementary school library and it being available to adults.
Then again, you could be a pedo and you don't understand the difference.
"Science is science" until it disagrees with the liberal agenda. YOU PEOPLE pick and choose.
-
@raphjd "Stupid" should be a goal for you.
-
You are the one who's confused about the difference between pornography in an elementary school library vs on a porn site for consenting adults.
