This is why I think it strange that we're tolerating the establishment of little feudal lords in our current national landscape. Major corporations have untold powers, greater freedoms than even monarchs of old enjoyed, and they employ these to the detriment of the entire world, and yet I speak out of turn when I say that here, in this land of individual liberty, it is expected that they bend knee to the common man, and not vice versa.

partly because it's hard to take someone seriously when they write like a fantasy novel

but also, that expectation is naive. I absolutely agree with you that corporations abuse their power in many ways. What I am pointing out to you is that the constitution doesn't stop them from doing so. Maybe in ideal world it should, but in the world we live in, it clearly does not.

to go back to the OP, some random blogger saying that "white people shouldn't write about about color" is indeed stupid, but it's not violating anyone's rights. it's just another person using their right to express their own stupid opinion.

Sometimes I want to feed this thread through a text to speech program and use the subsequent audio as a white noise machine to help people sleep. That way what you guys are doing here can have some purpose.

if you're white you can do whatever you want, that's the great thing about being white

the best that nonwhites can do is rage about white people without twitter mobs trying to get them fired or w/e but lol what a trifling price to pay for our dominion

Glad to see the thread has devolved into a passionate shouting match of people who are free speech absolutists and a bunch of sperm addicts.

Anyways the article that did a lot to push this polemic subject has a predecessor about a comic strip author getting canned because a bunch of victim culture types got pissed how his arts style depicted Obama.


http://www.ruthlessreviews.com/19628/gently caress-liberal-puritans-ted-rall-racism-trial/

I haven't done much reading on this particular case outside the article, but it is a good little example of the left wing authoritarians in this thread getting what they want.

Why does the company have to allow you to use their private resources to do what you want?

I see your argument but you're talking about compelling private companies to do something they don't want to with their property and that's also not cool.

ahahaha have you ever looked at moridin's rap sheet? I don't think I've seen one that's paginated before lmbo
