Can someone who likens people exercising their free speech to Maoists even be educated? And do I even want to lift my enemies up out of the ignorance they're mired in? The answer is no. I prefer to point and laugh at all the ways in which you are losing.

Towards that end though I will remind you of an actual attempt at silencing free speech which white wingers, again, lost and maybe you'll glean some insight from that defeat. In the late 80s and early 90s there was a little musical group from my home town called 2 live crew. Some hurt white wingers got all in their feelings about some of their lyrics and tried to get their album banned from stores. They even went so far as to arrest store owners that dared sell music with their naughty lyrics to willing customers. They eventually got their asses handed to them in court and that was near the genesis of the cultural shift in America. The cultural shift where Americans made 2 live crew and the album As Nasty As They Wanna Be one of the highest selling albums that year and now sees people banding together and using the power of their voices and their purses, not the power of the government, but their own constitutionally protected rights to cancel racists and their supporters out. Thats why you are all going to lose. Even with the power of the courts white wingers couldn't silence a little hip hop crew from Miami and instead turned them into legends, and with out any of that government power, we are Xing you white wingers out. Just wait until we get it. :lol:

It'd be nice if at least one of you Trumpists understood the right you pretend to whine about.

Particularly when the CEO takes a political positions highly antithetical to it's target audience. Not smart.

So you have no idea what 'fascism' means.

For some reason you're under the stupid impression that ordinary people exercising their 1A rights is a sign of fascism. It's the opposite of course. In this case it's the people criticizing the government and its powerful leader and those aligned with this powerful government. That's what freedom looks like, and it's messy and you can disagree, but that's what this is.

It's fascism.

forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc.,

Instead of the president, we have a member of congress ordering this.

Free speech works both ways.

@GoyaFoods
CEO is free to support a bigoted president who said an American judge can’t do his job because he’s “Mexican”, who treats Puerto Rico like trash, and who tries to deport Dreamers.

We’re free to leave his products on the shelves. #Goyaway

That's called an anecdote. It means nothing, except to you. A more fitting example would be the historical study of boycotting; it's origins, purposes, and outcomes. It's a mixed bag really. It started out with peasants against landowners, but it turns out it was being run from the shadows by elites...like this one is.

But this isn't really a boycott, it's a cultural revolution bent on punishing: Maoist strategy, little red book, Marxist ideology.

Good luck, Master Debater! You sir, are out standing in your field!

It is a cultural revolution and you're losing it. Crying about Maoists isn't going to change the outcome of this mostly cold culture war and its not even Maoists strategy to begin with, it's just basic warfare. Its 2020 for ****s sake who even really cares about Maoism? You know what else has a lot in common with Marxism and Maoism? Christianity. A religion that encourages poor people to put God and brotherhood over the established order of the elites and the wealthy and promises that they will be rewarded for this devotion with the gift of everlasting life, free of need or want enjoyed in the Kingdom of heaven. What they all are just systems that help organize people towards common goals. This also describes capitalism. But now instead of tithings to God we give subsidies to corporations and hope we are rewarded with good paying jobs and the money to afford all the things in this life that Christianity used to promise us in the next. You are missing the forest for the trees. The isms don't really matter all that much, what should be concerning to you however is that they are all organized against white wing culture. :thumbs: :lol:

First, the right to free speech is only guaranteed by the government. The first Amendment says that “Congress shall make no law”... It doesn’t say anything about reprisals from others.

Second, if I work at a store, someone comes in to buy something and I say, “your shirt looks really ugly and your breath smells like dog****”, do you really expect that there would be no reprisal?

Free Speech is about the government not being able to do anything about your extremist views. The government can’t lock you up because you still think Hitler had a point or whatever. I can still think you’re an asshole if you support someone like Trump, though. And I can choose not to patronize your business if you fly the confederate flag.

PLEASE, right-wingers, actually understand your rights before you whine that they are being violated.
Hint: there is no constitutional right that exempts you from wearing a mask when entering Costco, too.

Dude. That's a blatant red herring. Its like watching someone trying to sneak up on me in broad daylight, acting hella suspicious and inexplicably doing random ass tactical rolls while wearing a Danny Mcbride mask. How are you this bad at this and so oblivious to it? :unsure13:

I'm not worried about a boycott of Goya. I believe it will backfire like Chick-Fil-A's boycott. Goya has very good products and I am a "frequent buyer" of their products, but I will make it a point from now on to buy only Goya products for our local food pantries.

Besides, in a couple of weeks the liberals will be screaming for someone else's head. ;)

Where's the use of force. If I go to the store and buy Goya beans at the Goya market, what will happen to me? Will AOC have me arrested?!!@ OHHH NOOOOOO!!!!!!!

The force is a government official ordering her clan to stop doing business with a private company because he supports the president. If a private person did the same thing, I wouldn't object.
