RLLD 3,455 Posted November 21, 2018 What really seems to be at play is that conservatives think boycotts are freeze peach when they like the boycott, but they think its economic enterprise when they dont like the boycott. I don't know what a freeze peach is, but go after a company based on a lie is pretty bereft of any sense of honor or morals or justice. Chipotle apparently understood that truth means less than honoring some arbitrary societal construct, hence their rush to action, this is not a result of any conservative actions that I can point to, but it IS a reaction to leftist liberal radical ideologies.

Boycotts have gone on forever and have never been a primarily left wing form of free speech. Youre just butthurt because you dont agree with the complaint. Thats fine - I dont really agree with it either. But calling it economic terrorism is hysteria. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
penultimatestraw 473 Posted November 21, 2018 Interestingly, both Nike and the NFL have been on the respective sh!t lists of both sides and lots of people in between. But they just keep raking in the cash. That should tell us something. People are FOS? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thats fine - I dont really agree with it either. But calling it economic terrorism is hysteria. I am not aware of a complaint per se. I am aware that Chipotle acted out of the fear of leftists, a not uncommon behavior given the vitriol of leftist ideologies. They made a mistake, and fixed it. The reason they made that mistake is that the line is drawn, violate some arbitrary social norm, face destruction. Disagree with leftists, be labeled a racist, be destroyed. To pretend that leftists do not engage in a variety of terrorist actions is intellectually dishonest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fireballer 2,383 Posted November 23, 2018 Not all, but some of the left, doesnt see a boycott as a simple boycott. They vilify those who dont actively denounce the perps and join the boycott. Its the "with us or against us" taken to the extreme. This is a quick example. Noone should have to apologize for eating Chik fila. https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/nation-now/2018/06/11/twitter-jack-dorsey-chick-fil-pride/691298002/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This whole Chipotle thing started via Twitter. And, as we've seen in the past on social media, ALL it takes nowadays is random people on Twitter to literally ruin your life.

I know this started as a Chipotle thread, but I though it graduated to a larger scale. Youre still stuck on Chipotle. But, its still a good example of the leftist agenda. If Chipotle could never foresee a social media backlash from SJWs, the manager never gets fired because she probably gets some due process. Most companies are so scared to be labeled, they lose all common sense. Not only could a boycott result, but their doxxed, harassed at work etc. Most people dont fear a regular boycott. They can ride the wave and things will settle out. Its the ancillary bullsh!t from the left that they fear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
