It's a great time to be a moderate lefty and watch all of the what goes around comes around especially as someone that has been following politics closely since the 90s and heard the same shit over and over and over again

and I only see it getting better and better the next and last 2 years of Trump's Presidency

To be fair I think there is a good argument for implementing some regulation over those that have X market control. The x being the difficult part to determine. Would it be 10 %, 25 %, etc. Of market share, I don't know. Giants are emerging.

there aren't any good arguments, it's just a lot of butt-hurt people complaining about the free market that they advocated for all these years

I don't advocate a fully free market and I'm not talking from the prospective of those arguing becsuse they're "butt hurt". I think you automatically associated me with the side you're personally against.

Do you advocate a free market?

the people complaining about being deplatformed need to realize that no one owes them a platform

Depends. You can't put out a platform that has 70% market share, cater that its for everyone's valued opinion then filter based on an agenda. I would like to see a greater level of transparency.

This is our values, we will remove anything that is not in line with them. Simple as that. This shouldn't be hidden on page 4066 of a TOS doc.

I'm all for a place to discuss common things and people with common beliefs can shelter together. Just don't advertise a ground for all opinions.

I agree, find another baker.

PragerU should be appealing to public and by extension customer opinion rather than filing lawsuits and trying to invoke state power like what happened in the baker case.


Although reminds me of this

the lack of a principled stance around this issue is what irks me, liberals will take every chance they get to bash on a christian bakery but won't bash on a muslim bakery over gay cakes
