I get that but the point is that they aren't being banned for being Conservatives or Republicans, they are being banned for misusing a social media platform in a misinformation campaign.
I get that but the point is that they aren't being banned for being Conservatives or Republicans, they are being banned for misusing a social media platform in a misinformation campaign.Donald and some of his people have been banned from Twitter and Facebook for repeatedly sharing horrible misinformation about the election. A massive campaign of misinformation that actually ended up causing problems. These companies just didnt want to be part of that kind of irresponsibility and destruction.
I might argue that modern society is so interconnected and predicated on group-think... that these consequences are becoming much larger, more meaningful and impactful. Republicans were told their speech is not acceptable on Twitter. They make their own platform. That platform is ripped off the internet. So now they have to build their own internet just to communicate?
To realize their actual freedom they will need to start with a State sponsor. Be it foreign or domestic. An organization of law and authority that will not oppose their existence.
It wasn't a single tweet that landed her in this situation. She has a history of being Anti-Semitic among other things and this last round of tweet was the last straw for her.All I know is that I enjoyed “The Mandalorian” with Gina Carano in it and I don’t think her offensive tweet (the one that got her cancelled) was Anti-Semitic. She was just making another bad Nazi analogy, which conservatives are wont to do.
Ahhh, I see your point now.I get that but the point is that they aren't being banned for being Conservatives or Republicans, they are being banned for misusing a social media platform in a misinformation campaign.
I too enjoyed seeing her on Mandalorian even though she kinda sucked at the whole actor thing. I wrote it off as more directors discretion to not push the actress more (it happens). Admittedly, she kinda made my pants tight from time to time so I didn't care.
She apparently had developed a history of questionable tweets and continued to double down. It's one thing to let crap slip. It's another to ignore advice and continue to poke and prod the bear.
She, like anyone who is a publicly facing employee, represents the company. She, like other actors on the show are spokespersons for high profile property with millions of dollars invested.
This is also Diz-fuckin-knee we are talking about.
She decided to ignore the hundreds of hints that she as the face of a Disney product needs to meet a certain standard and not taint the product with negative press.
Also counting against her is that there were already complaints about her wooden performance on the show.
Mandalorian isn't exactly the pinnacle of theater and if you are already being called out for a mediocre delivery, maybe acting like a dimwit on Twitter isn't the way to go.
How does a person being boycotted by no less than half of society, "defend themself"?
Cut off from employment, cut off from social media, cut off from anything liberals have a controlling interest in?
Being blacklisted with a scarlet letter has consequences. It is not just life as normal.
She wouldnt.It wasn't a single tweet that landed her in this situation. She has a history of being Anti-Semitic among other things and this last round of tweet was the last straw for her.
I am indifferent about her character in "The Mandalorian" and to be honest I am not sure how she would be able to carry her own TV show.
She wouldnt.
She's an awesome action star but she cant act for shit. HOWEVER, the point here is she wasnt fired for being a shit actress. She was a shit actress and she got hired anyway. The point is she was let go for expressing shit political opinions, and the argument is whether someone should be fired for expressing shit political opinions.
Donald was most certainly not reelected because he did a terrible job as president. Its unlikely him stating nonsense on Twitter swayed a significant number of votes either way. The American voter has shown time and time again they care less about speech and opinions, and more about actual performance. Unemployment numbers are a major component in votes. And last year there was also a pandemic which probably came into play. As has already been stated many times, if not for Coronavirus theres a decent chance he might have won again.

thats the position I'm taking in this argument.The thing is, she wasn't fired for expressing political opinions.
She was fired for a pattern of poor conduct on public platforms that brought negative press to her employer.
My point is that they aren't being banned for Conservative views. No ones banning them because they are advocating for low taxes and small government.Ahhh, I see your point now.
My point is the only people being banned or in danger of being banned are conservatives because they've gone completely off the deep end and are using both public conveyances (TV and radio) and private conveyances (social media programs and websites) to actually harm individuals and the nation and in some cases commit outright crimes.
But she's not getting fired for her shitty political views/opinions, she was fired for being a shitty human being.She wouldnt.

No she wasnt. She was always a shitty human being.But she's not getting fired for her shitty political views/opinions, she was fired for being a shitty human being.
Didn't it turn out that Amber Heard was the one abusing Johnny Depp?Even all of her tweets/beliefs as a whole don’t amount to anything meriting cancellation. Go ahead and cancel Joss Whedon or Shia LeBeef or Johnny Depp or anyone else who beats women, treats people on set like shit or makes untoward advances. I don’t care if Carano is an asshole any more than I care about James Woods or Jon Voight when I’m watching their old shit.
thats not what he was talking about.Didn't it turn out that Amber Heard was the one abusing Johnny Depp?
You sure about that?thats not what he was talking about.
He was talking about Johnny Depp being a mouthy d-bag, which he is.

This. She has been problematic for Disney for almost a year now. The terrible analogy and other stupid comments were the straw that broke the camels back.
