What is the difference between people choosing to boycott a brand and a brand choosing to boycott another brand?
Corporations, as our legal system has shown, are people.
They have unlimited free speech.
This is a free speech issue, the free market dictates they can do as they please.
Frankly I’m shocked that the stance is to defend musk here. He’s saying things that align with ideologies we once waged war across the world to eradicate and now somehow he is the beacon of free speech?
He can say what he wants, it doesn’t change that he’s acting like a petulant manchild. Brands choosing to distance themselves from speech and behavior they don’t want to be associated with doesn’t make them “man children” it makes them “business acting responsibly in the interests of their shareholders” typically.
It’s so strange that these ideas are flipped, at the base of it the difference between what is being done is “why” and it’s telling that the loud idiot is again the one chosen.
I never said otherwise you fucking retarded imbecile. Get with the fucking conversation or stop spamming your moronic shit.
I was directly responding to what you said.
Have a good one hombre, I don’t think it’s worth continuing any “conversation” here.
No you fucking weren't. You were just spamming about free speech because you just wanted to regurgitate whatever talking points you read and didn't care to notice that I never once said otherwise.
Glad you finally realized you have nothing remotely worth saying. Good riddance.
