Cancel Culture: Goya Foods CEO calls boycott threats a 'suppression of speech'

Paradoxical said:
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.

No one is forcing you to do anything.

But you do like to whine about it.

I wasn't using anecdotal evidence to debate you, I was using it to make fun of you. I clearly destroyed your argument in my next response and you haven't mustered a retort yet. :shrug:

But nevertheless you'll post one of your own, thinking it deserves something.
PS: I didn't post as evidence, just to fill out the story....
Saying that there are three cops in my extended family is not EVIDENCE of anything.

See, your problem is, you know the words, but you have difficulty applying them properly.
What would the fact that I have three cops in my extended family be evidence of?
Evidence that I have three cops in my extended family?

That's the "premature ejaculation" of debate tactics. "You moved too soon, first mistake in a crisis situation"
You're like an amateur lawyer who yells "OBJECTION!!!" at random crap in a trial.
You're like the Klane Brothers in "Twins".

Private industry can do what they want. A government official ordering people to boycott a company because she doesn't like his praise of Trump is totalitarianism.

What a dumbass performance the head of Goya put on on the WH lawn. After all the pronouncements out of this Administration, disparaging brown people, why would you suck up to Trump like this? Might help if the head of the company knew who bought his product; ought to be fired for a piss poor business decision......

Spoken like a true liberal. Probably even a white liberal.

To assume that all Hispanics are democrats is like calling them "Tio Toms". And besides, not only Hispanics buy Goya products. I'm as white as a winter storm and I have bought Goya products for years because they are top quality. But alas, I'm not the one that sees everything through race distorted lenses.

To expect a Hispanic man to quiver to your silly expectations is like telling him to sit quietly in the back of the bus. Are all liberals this miswired in the brain?

But is it right? Is it good? Does it bring real change from within or just fear of mob justice and repercussion?

How is it different from a reeducation camp and forced indoctrination? Are you against cult behaviors?

Isn't this how Scientologists control people? It seems like abusive relationship behavior to me. Vindictive.

Are you claiming money to be a cult
Scientologist control people as much as the catholic church

I've never supported any kind of boycott of any kind, as I think to a real American it comes down to the ballot box, and not social ostracizing of any kind. So, stick your bull crud where the sun don't shine....got it?

I've boycotted. I don't like onions, so I never buy them.

This is the way of the left. They are good at what they do, but what they do isn't good. They claim they are are for free speech, free thought, diversity and equality. Yet, they are constantly denying that to others who disagree with their ideas. They call people racist, misogynist, white supremacist and a host of other things without any other reason than they disagree with liberal positions, or BLM positions or democrat positions and so on. Until the democrats, leftist and socialist, closet communist, anarchist all decide a true conversation is the only way to move forward things will only continue to get worse.

16 Ridiculous Things Trump Supporters Have Boycotted

Are you saying the boycotts by right wing are terrible as doing os?

Perhaps you are correct. Target is still in business.

Private individuals are free to call for the boycott of anything.

For a congress women radical to demand a boycott because someone supports the duly elected president? That is insane. Then again, so is she and you folks love her for it.

I love seeing an OP parrot Fox News in their thread title. Easy to dismiss.

The biggest one was his run-in with the NFL over Colin Kaepernick's kneeling protest against Trump himself, of course - "If NFL fans refuse to go to games until players stop disrespecting our country, you will see change take place fast," Trump tweeted in September 2017 - but lets take a quick spin through his greatest hits. Here we go:

Many @harleydavidson owners plan to boycott the company if manufacturing moves overseas. Great! Most other companies are coming in our direction, including Harley competitors. A really bad move! U.S. will soon have a level playing field, or better.

Donald Trump Hates Boycotts Now, Despite Boycotting Things Often

Really?
 
Schism said:
No, it's not. It's purely political. It's part of the reeducation process. This isn't about unfair labor practices, unfair wages, price fixing, or even unscrupulous purchasing and procurement practices.

No, this is about a person's support for a politician you don't approve of, and he needs to be taught a lesson. He needs to be publicly humiliated, shamed, and have his livelihood taken away, along with the thousands of workers he employs.

You're going make him pay, from the comfort and anonymity of your mom's basement, hiding behind a made up internet name.

You should look it up since you obviously don't understand the subject matter. You called me a "Bolshevik like you" which demonstrates your ignorance, comrade.

I love it when someone exposes their queen, then declares, I have you surrounded!

LOL! You can scream that till you're blue in the face and it won't make it magically, somehow, come true.

This is only about boycotts and people exercising their right to make informed choices. Something that you, clearly, as a lifelong Marxist, hate to your red core.

Why do you hate America?
