Libs guide to taking over country:

STEP 1: Take over Hollywood.

STEP 2 Take over academia.

STEP 3: Force all the mom & pop bookstores out of biz.

STEP 4: Control all digital media.

STEP 5: Ban all dissenting opinion.

STEP 6: Confiscate all the guns.

STEP 7: Transport the rebels to the camps via railcar.

They’re in the home stretch.

The U.S. Supreme Court stated the general rule regarding protected speech quite well in Texas v. Johnson, when it held:

The government may not prohibit the verbal or nonverbal expression of an idea merely because society finds the idea offensive or disagreeable.

I probably don’t have to tell you to watch out, Matt — they might be coming after you. I recall these SJWs giving you a hard time some years back.

I’m finding it very easy to cut Amazon out of my life. I’ll go on the site to look for something and then go directly to the manufacturer’s website to purchase. For smaller household items, we’ve canceled our Subscribe and Save products and started buying at local general stores or Walgreens. We won’t be renewing our Prime membership when it comes up later this year.

” Hate speech “ can be anything somebody wants it to be on any given day. And its major characteristic in definintion vagueness is about the lioberal fasist moving goal posts we are now so familiar with.

This hate speech is a crucial component of cancel culture.

We won;t get any more of a definiton from Amazon than “ We know it when we see it.”

Thats typical of liberal fascist culture.

Do not get sucked into this endless trap. Ignore the baftards, or ridicule them.

This is something that we have had for years in many Western counties, Hate speech is prohibited by the criminal Code of Canada, for example, a restriction of free speech used to quell factual commentary about racial or ethnic communities.

Pretty soon there will be huge bonfires outside of Amazon warehouses across the country. The new liberal fasist hegemony will be burning books they have cancelled.

Oh! Oh!

OH!

Did that not happen already in Germany somewhere?

[ The students, along with brownshirted storm troopers, tossed heaps of books into a bonfire while giving the Hitler arm-salute and singing Nazi anthems. Among the 20,000 volumes hurled into the flames were the writings of Henri Barbusse, Franz Boas, John Dos Passos, Albert Einstein, Lion Feuchtwanger, Friedrich Förster, Sigmund Freud, John Galsworthy, André Gide, Ernst Glaeser, Maxim Gorki, Werner Hegemann, Ernest Hemingway, Erich Kästner, Helen Keller, Alfred Kerr, Jack London, Emil Ludwig, Heinrich Mann, Thomas Mann, Karl Marx, Hugo Preuss, Marcel Proust, Erich Maria Remarque, Walther Rathenau, Margaret Sanger, Arthur Schnitzler, Upton Sinclair, Kurt Tucholsky, Jakob Wassermann, H.G. Wells, Theodor Wolff, Emilé Zola, Arnold Zweig, and Stefan Zweig. ]

And so Amazon will begin this all over again.Just need a few BLM and ANTIFA liberal fascists to stoke the fires.

If Amazon is taking the authority to determine and ban speech, then it can be held liable for not banning it. Double edged sword.

I’ve rarely bought from Amazon, mainly because of Jeff Bezos’ business practices

One good thing about freedom of speech - it makes it easier to tell who the idiots are.

Now these hate speech milking, liberal fascist morons will also burn Amazon warehoused books that they SHOULD like.

You know, like Hillary Clinton’s “ It takes a Village.”

The urge to purge is strong in today’s liberal fascists,,,,,,because they can’t face the truth of their bankrupt policies.

Liberal bullies get a thrill from accusing someone, seeing them cow and then making them do what they want. Generally a dopamine hit. And like addicts, they have to move on to the next thrill.

The liberal lynch mobs are addicted to adrenaline.
