Charlie Kirk Shot

[Sheik]

I don’t have an issue with this. A business has the right to refuse service to anyone. I wouldn’t have refused the service to the guy, but it’s fine that they did.

Office Depot isn’t owned by the people that run them. That’s the problem. A rogue employee(s) decided to take a stance on something that the company hadn’t put out guidance on.

They ended up unemployed and that was the correct move.

Hopefully this does not continue the dumb way it is going and spurs some sort of progressive dialogue.

But it will not.

That's exactly what he was trying to do, and they killed him.

They were fired? Good.


And yes, what you said is the point here.

So to be fair, some of the first headlines Rubin was reading from Cenk’s website (“ex employee exposes Charlie Kirk’s grift,” “Charlie Kirk embarrasses himself,” “Charlie Kirk’s brain melts explaining anti vax conspiracy,”) sounded an awful lot like like the titles of many of Rubin’s own YouTube channel videos.

Some of that stuff is sensationalist to generate an audience’s interest, without crossing a line. I’m not sure Cenk is the right one to go after in this situation.

Easier said than done. They are decentralized and unorganized. More like terrorist cells, but not even that together.

They show up in mass quite often to promote their agenda. As a designated terrorist group, they would most likely be immediately arrested or detained. They would also be put under surveillance and a ton more scrutiny than they are now.

Yeah, I agree. Those I think are unfair to Kirk, but they don't sound like the type of headlines that I think incite this type of thing.

My point is that I’m fine with a company choosing not to serve someone. Again, I would’ve printed the poster, but I find it hilarious when people were arguing in support of a bakery refusing to serve a gay couple and then getting pissed when someone refuses to serve someone of their ilk. It’s the double standard and self-victimization that I laugh at.

I think it’s more being mad at the double standard. ‘We will force you to comply, but it’s ok for us.’

Very distinct difference. Employees can’t arbitrarily decide what’s propaganda or not. Fucking absurd

If those mfs show up here, we’re gonna beat the fucking brakes off of them.
