and when has a left boycott ever been effective? Never.

That said, I thought the exemption for bakeries was strange.

Greg Flynn doesn’t own Panera. He owns some franchise units. JAB holdings is the one that owns Panera.

          I don’t see any evidence that soul cycle supported a “white nationalist”. Don’t know why the race of a nationalists is important to this discussion but we are not discussing your race hangups right now. Your source claims that an owner of a company that invested in soul cycle hosted a Trump fund raiser.

          What specific rights were you people fighting for by boycotting soul cycle?

          You’re 0 for 2 on your claims the company had no connection to the fundraiser and you can’t list any rights you were fighting for.

            Yeah… think a little harder on this one.

            Don’t know why the race of a nationalists is important to this discussion but we are not discussing your race hangups right now.

            Thank you for the reminder that white nationalists are supported around here. I needed the reminder to not take this place seriously.

            the company had no connection to the fundraiser

            They did though.

              I don’t see any evidence in your source that soul cycle was involved in the fundraiser.

              It this your way of saying you support black nationalists, chinese nationalists, Jewish nationalists…?

              You somehow forgot to mention which rights you were fighting for by boycotting soul cycle.

                Then you don’t have the reading comprehension needed. So I’ll spell it out for you. Their CEO (the person who runs and represents the company, whom they have ties to) ran a Trump fundraiser, which necessarily connects the two.

                It this your way of saying you support black nationalists, chinese nationalists, Jewish nationalists…?

                No, of course not. Nationalism, especially racially based nationalism is always bad. But none of those other forms are currently a problem.

                This is like having a building on fire, and then complaining that firefighters aren’t putting out the fire the homeless started in a barrel. Your concerns are beyond misplaced. You don’t care about the truth, all you’re doing is finding some bullshit loaded question.

                You somehow forgot to mention which rights you were fighting for by boycotting soul cycle.

                I already explained this.

                If you don’t already have a good understanding of what rights neo nazis/white nationalists are seeking to remove, then you’re either incapable of understanding, intentionally ignorant, or in support of their removal.

                  Do you think a CEO is always representing their company?

                  No, of course not. Nationalism, especially racially based nationalism is always bad. But none of those other forms are currently a problem.

                  Is your obsession with white nationalists because you can’t call everyone fascists or you will get banned?

                  I already explained this.

                  This is not providing examples of which rights you’re fighting for.

                  They publicly supported a white nationalist/fascist. And a fun fact about white nationalists and fascists, they are hell bent on taking peoples rights away.

                  Bad people do bad things is the kind of logic I should expect from you.

                  Do you have evidence that Trump is a white nationalists? Remember try to be specific in your examples.

                    Like I already said, it isn’t an obsession.

                    This is a strawman.

                    I already linked this earlier just for you to ignore. So I’ll put in the same level of effort.

            I assume you’re trying to have a discussion with pizza. He has a weird fascination with white nationalist and calls a random people white nationalist. When ask for proof, he just babbles and claims you’re moving the goal post.

              Given that neo nazis are publicly and openly marching in the streets, I wouldn’t call it a weird fascination. It’s a legitimate concern for anybody who cares about their rights, the rights of others, or democracy.

              When ask for proof, he just babbles and claims you’re moving the goal post.

              When you ask for proof you ignore the proof and move on to the next thing. You always get that treatment because that’s always what you do.

              Garbage in, garbage out. If you wanted to have honest discussion, you need to be honest. But you’re not, so it’s what you get.

              I might be partially to blame on that one, I used the term moving the goal posts in a discussion with him. He learned a new phrase but not what it ment.
