You frame it in a way that sounds hypocritical but in both situations the conservatives are standing up for free speech. Baker should have the right to free speech and so does the individual on twitter.

freedom of association =/= freedom of speech.

artistic expression was always the more perilous avenue for conservatives to choose (and only applies to cakes), but freedom of association is a concept that's less accepted. although in this case far more legally backed.

but if you wanna talk about freedom of speech let's talk kneelers, or any other number of topics i can draw from my hat to make conservatives look hypocritical.

For your comparison to be hypocritical we would have to establish that the two are equivalent, which they clearly are not, not even close. Twitter is big brother, the tiny business is not. It's like saying your against big brother or gov't because you're critical or trying to repress their free speech, kind of illogical.

Obtuse metaphors are the only way to make Democratic theory relevant. No perspective at all

ahh yes the "your comparisons must be equivilencies or they mean nothing" approach..... to my clearly hyperbolic joke. Thanks for informing me that twitter and a 100k a year gross bakery aren't the same.

the hypocrisy is there regardless. conservatives pretend that businesses rights must be maintained at all costs and that reprisals must come from the free market, until for "reasons" they don't want that.

i made a comparison between a bakery and twitter because they're topical, its was for convenience sake not to disingenuously draw a false equivalency. if you want me to draw up a few examples of conservatives supporting large businesses doing what they please with freedom of association i suppose i could, but then we'll just get into a squabbling match about whether they're perfectly equivalent, all so i can justify a clearly hyperbolic joke. should i have written it in greentext format to signal that it shouldnt be taken at face value? is that what PARD 2018 is?

"Iran is gathering all evil to itself. Very soon they will have radicalized an army great enough to launch an assault on the West" said Salman of Saudi Arabia

"You know this? How?" responded Trump the Orange.

"I have seen it" said Salman.

"An Islamtir is a dangerous tool, Salman" the Orange wizard warned.

"Why? Why should we fear to use it?" Salman smirked.

"They are not all accounted for, the lost seeing-stones. We do not know who else may be watching." replied Trump

"The hour is later than you think. Iran’s forces are already moving. The refugees have left Tehran." chided Salman

"Refugees!?" responded Trump, a familiar disgust growing in him now.

"They crossed the Turkish border on Midsummer’s Eve, disguised as men fleeing a war torn Syria" - Salman cooed.

"They've reached Europe!?" Trump screamed.

"They will start a Caliphate, and kill all those who attempt to stop them." Salman replied, now grinning.

"Merkel, Macron, May, They must be warned!" Trump exclaimed.

(all of the doors slam shut)

"You did not seriously think that a reality TV star could contend with the will of Islam. There are none who can. Against the power of the Prophet, there can be no victor. We must join with him Trump, join with Mohammed. Be wise." Salman said.

"Tell me.....friend. When did the Sunnis reason for madness!" Trump shot back.
