would you stop doing business with anyone simply because you disagree with their politics?
in california, in and out burger, democrats were being told not to support the chain because they donated to republicans.. will politics affect your spending habits?.

What I wish I had known at 18
by NewYork44M inthe financial times had an article with the above question.
the author asked various people to answer the question.. https://www.ft.com/content/169705e4-b4dd-11e8-b3ef-799c8613f4a1.
while i was not interviewed, if i was asked this question i would say that i wish i had known in 1975, when i was 18, that i was raised in a cult and that the continued focus on armageddon over my lifetime was a cruel joke.

This controversy is still going? Good lord.
Pretty soon I’ll be forced to take an interest just to keep up.

I am so completely uninterested in tennis, I have to admit I know nothing of this situation except what has appeared on this thread. I also have to admit that I probably won’t go and look into it.
But from the descriptions on this thread, it sounds like social justice screwing up something else.

To answer the thread’s question: No. If you are a flaming leftist, and make a good product, there is a good chance I’ll buy. If I don’t agree with your candidate, and you are willing to be professional and work toward a common goal, then I’ll work with you. No problem.

Alex Jones, Infowars Ban on Youtube, FB and other platforms
by pleaseresearch inwhat are you thoughts on this?.
i find this alarming because jones was very outspoken and had great guests on discussing topics most other media outlets wouldn't go near.. the fact that many have restricted him access to their medium what does this say on our freedoms of speech?.

It’s because a left/right continuum should work like a real continuum.
I understand that I am bucking against the traditional catigorizations here. This has happened on several threads now, but it’s because the left/right dichotomy is not logical, at least not in the way it’s used now. And recently it has become blatently obvious that its just another labelization tool for identity politics.
Look, I would be more than happy to admit that our categories deserve a bit of nuance. However, if... IF.... you want to break the world of political ideologies, a world that has many dimensions, into a single dimension continuum, then you have to choose a scale that makes sense. It can’t be that authoritarian socialist are on the far left, but then if you add a touch of nationalism, you are suddenly all the way to the right. That is a clue that the metric being used is nonsense.
So if you want one dimension, fine. But it has to be something more fundamental. That is why I place people like David Duke on the left. He flat out denies human rights come from our humanity. To him they are given by the government. This is fundamentally what leads to leftist atrocities - if rights are given, there is no moral reason why they can’t be taken away.
