Spotify hosts Joe Rogan, so I'm having a hard time seeing how they're leftist. If they were activists, they would have left that money on the table and never signed a contract with Rogan in the first place. It seems to me that they follow the money like most companies.

I hate both the protest group and desantis but honestly he’s right. The only reason gofundme (or any org with similar practices) do this is because they know that some people will miss the deadline, and the it becomes pure profit.

Did you not read the article? There is no deadline. All donations are going to be automatically refunded.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Are you sure you are on the right side of the argument yourself? Suppose next year, the government mandate that you lose weight, or stop smoking or run everyday, all that of course for the "greater good". And then the year after that, it requires that you give pills to your children because that makes them "less indisciplined" and so on and so forth. Stop being so certain and think a little bit. By accepting this man…

>By accepting this mandate we're not only accepting this jab, we're accepting all the future crazy ideas that the government will come with. No we're not. Accepting mandates doesn't somehow force everyone to automatically accept anything any politician claims or does in the future. That's not how anything works.

> That's not how anything works.

That's how everything works, it's called a precedent.

Conservatives could not deny service for a personalized cake to a gay couple without unbelievable fights that they barely won at SCOTUS, but left-wing companies can deplatform as much as they want from their generic service if they don’t like your politics. I don’t have to be conservative to say it’s extremely hypocritical.

The difference in political significance between a broadcasting platform and 10 million dollars vs a cake is a little hard to ignore.

Seriously. Some people need to lay off the Fox and the right wing talk radio. They act like they’re being so oppressed because they have opinions people don’t agree with and they get called out for it. Like, how privileged has one’s life been and how much of a small bubble do they live in that they have never said something stupid and faced consequences for it. These are the same people that bitched about desegregation.
