You are doing this on purpose, right? The irony was intentional, it has to be.“I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it,” These words in some form are commonly attributed to Voltaire and Patrick Henry. They are part of the cornerstone of American freedom. Anyone who wants to shut that down, to silence the opposition freedom of speech should not be supported. Step u and be heard with your dollars. Don't patronize the corporations, the big tech companies, airlines or any other business that will not stand up in defense of freedom of speech. After all this is the United States of America, for how much longer?
LOL, did you just advocate censoring the censors because you don't like censorship? (by your definition of censorship of course)“I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it,” These words in some form are commonly attributed to Voltaire and Patrick Henry.

That is indeed what just happened.LOL, did you just advocate censoring the censors because you don't like censorship? (by your definition of censorship of course)

I actually loved it when the left called for a boycott on Chick-Fil-A and they had lines around the block in response, even running out of chicken. They are now like the number three fast food chain, or close to it. The more the cancel culture cancels, the more upset normal people are and will begin voting the other way again. The trouble with BOTH parties is that whenever they win an election they believe it gives them a mandate to cram their values down the throats of the 100% and Democrats are already off to a good start and Biden hasn't even been handed the keys yet. The more the cancel culture cancels the more they will be canceled themselves.“I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it,” These words in some form are commonly attributed to Voltaire and Patrick Henry.

They are number 8.I actually loved it when the left called for a boycott on Chick-Fil-A and they had lines around the block in response, even running out of chicken. They are now like the number three fast food chain, or close to it.
Ever since the 6th! On a loop like that!
Kinds makes them human shields though.This isn't censorship nor is it cancel culture - which is generally aimed at individuals and not organizations, and is more a form of social ostracism. It's a boycott. I tend to not agree with it - not because I like Lindell or his positions, I emphatically don't - but because the boycott hurts people, his employees, who have nothing to do with his positions.
And cancel culture will cancel your cancelling until there is no more cancelling to cancel and the cancel cuture program can then be cancelled by the cancel culture cancelling operation. Which will itself then be cancelled.I actually loved it when the left called for a boycott on Chick-Fil-A and they had lines around the block in response, even running out of chicken.

Moderate Republicans need to caucus with moderate Democrats and help Biden govern from the center. Biden is the most moderate president since Bill Clinton. So now is our chance!I actually loved it when the left called for a boycott on Chick-Fil-A and they had lines around the block in response, even running out of chicken.

Never thought of it that way but you're right. And in a good economy I probably wouldn't mind nearly as much since people have options. In today's Covid decimated economy there aren't a lot of employment choices.Kinds makes them human shields though.
I beleive he advocated boycotting them- not buying their products or using their services. Different then censoring themLOL, did you just advocate censoring the censors because you don't like censorship? (by your definition of censorship of course)
Vote out Nancy Pelosi and elect Elissa Slotkin as speaker.Moderate Republicans need to caucus with moderate Democrats and help Biden govern from the center. Biden is the most moderate president since Bill Clinton. So now is our chance!
Chik Fil A is popular because it’s a well ran company with fast/courteous service and people find the food good. It was burger king I promise you the counter boycott would of lasted a week.I actually loved it when the left called for a boycott on Chick-Fil-A and they had lines around the block in response, even running out of chicken.

That's a fair point, but if I'm shopping for a pillow, I'll probably buy a pillow, just not that guy's pillow. So that's bad for the MyPillow guy and his company, but good for some other company, and there's a positive and negative impact. I think MyPillow is made in the U.S. so that's a consideration, but assuming that in another pillow I don't see the problem.This isn't censorship nor is it cancel culture - which is generally aimed at individuals and not organizations, and is more a form of social ostracism.

Voltaire never said that (the bolded) and neither did Patrick Henry.“I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it,” These words in some form are commonly attributed to Voltaire and Patrick Henry.

You do realize that the reason that so-called cancel culture is a thing is due to purchasing power, right?I beleive he advocated boycotting them- not buying their products or using their services. Different then censoring them
