If someone discriminates like that, let them, they'll lose business, give them the noose to hang themselves with,
Same with "nazis", don't silence them, let them preach to the world their idiot views, so people will be put off and distance themselves

Capital is a direct form of democracy.

Anyone trying to regulate the flow of money is regulating a person's ability to choose what they support.

The leftists who are up in arms over the baker not baking the cake are the same that are up in arms over where the NRA spends money.

You can't have your cake and eat it too, so to speak.

thats cuz you see it differently than them

Either monetary flow is an endorsement or it isn't.

"Your rights end where my feelings begin" and all that you know?

@LotheronPrime i'd be leftists if i said i agreed with it, despite its many holes.

If they have the option to not buy from that baker, why is that baker obligated?

Feelings don't make it into this equation at all for me

cuz its not about the option, its about that the baker discriminates who it sells to

and Discrimination against a non CIS-white is one of SJW's deadly sins

It's principle.

@RyeNorth its not exactly a direct form of democracy as not everyone gets the same number of votes.

You earn your influence based on value added to the community

You lose influence as penalty for crimes.

yes, but it takes a community to then undo just one of your vote choices should you change stances.

its direct democracy until you have been voted all the power

in other words

the only difference is that community can easily just vote you out

Capitalism doesn't end in straight dictatorship unless it's been undermined

If it has been, it moves towards corporatism

Which, incidentally, is what we're in early to mid stages of now.

#notrealcapitalism

"yay, they know karate"

mid stages? i'd say anything not in full blown socialism right now is in full blown cronyism

As long as corporations are able to influence laws to reduce competition, we need vigilance.

i love people who are like "corporations control the laws, **we need more laws**" like ummm hello, who did you just say makes those laws?

Like, today I found out that in Texas has a licensing process for AC technicians that requires you work for an already licensed company for four years.

That shit needs to get abolished

wut

Yup

Corporations control the laws, We need more laws to control corporations
Racists run the government, We need more laws to control the racists
The government is fascists, Only the government should control guns

etc etc

Texas, people, get on this.

Mmhmm

It's happening.

was this like trying to bring back trade jobs? like stupid trump and his tariffs?

"lets make this a law, that way they are forced to bring on apprentices"

That sort of thing means that if you want to open your own company,you're required to work for your competiton.

Throw in a non-compete and the protectionism is complete.
