    Its not literal. Its just poking fun at the fact that culture-war-conservatives are boycotting more and more things for dumb reasons

      So boycotting (and suing) cake shops for not making gay marriage cakes… this is any different how?

      You can’t shit on the other side for something yours is doing too and act holier than thou.

      All this serves is to antagonize them and divides everyone more… And makes people like me hate both of your parties.

      Every day my Polish Citizenship looks better. Everyone looks more childish every day in this country.

        the key difference is it’s good for people who refuse to respect basic human rights to be boycotted and socially ostracized for doing so. conservatives, meanwhile, pretty much exclusively do boycotts because they’re mad they can’t restrict other people’s human rights

          You’re attempting to restrict the rights for an artist to choose their art… Somehow that’s different? That’s very delusional thinking. It is literally the same thing. You’re just treating it special because you happen to agree with one and not the other, so you’re refusing to look at it from a neutral standpoint.

          If the left can boycott a cake shop for not wanting to generate art that has certain motifs, then the right 100% should be able to boycott companies for depictions that also have certain motifs.

          This is literally equivalent. And if you’re mad about the right treating you like shit because you harbor the former belief then you shouldn’t be the people push the latter problem on others.

              If you have to resort calling the other side “nazi” because you have no other point… You make yourself look pretty foolish.

              It doesn’t matter the ideology if you both act the same exact way.

              edit: It’s actually disappointing that a moderator acts like this. Strawmanning my statement… talking down to fellow federation members… participating in bad faith arguments.

        If I discriminate at work, I’ll get fired. If I don’t discriminate at work, I won’t get fired. This is not a double-standard. It’s THE standard. Pretending otherwise just emboldens discrimination.
