Fined $100,000 for expressing his thoughts?.... Is this Stalinism 1935???

[null and void]

Yea, but it’s mostly peaceful Stalinism lite...

[Gay State Conservative]

Could be...but it could also be Stasi cira 1985 or North Korea at this very moment!

Perhaps the ex-Redskins could rebrand as simply the Reds. The color scheme would have to go to bright red, and the logo could be a profile of Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Stalin

Yes it is Stasi Stalinism.
Rivera should watch the film The Lives of Others

How is it that Rivera can issue the fine?
He doesn’t own the team.

Dan Snyder is the owner.

Just when I was starting to get over the Kaepernick fiasco and the kneeling during the anthem, and the NFL allows this to happen. Just sickening.
Then again this hits home. I got fired for telling my class that Social Security was a Ponzi scheme - the same thing Nobel Prize economist Milton Friedman said.

His constitutional right to express his opinion per the head coach. So, he has a right under the constitution to express his opinion, but if he does, he’ll be fined $100000. How 1984 of you Rivera.

As long as people are denied the right to question the violent, bloody riots of the Summer of 2020, there is no reason or need to discuss Jan 6.

dialectics (noun)
1. the art of investigating or discussing the truth of opinions.

Thoughtcrime.

Condemning state policies has become synonymous with a double standard on “intolerance,” which is punishable by the state. And by latching their policies to social issues, political parties have found a way to silence people who are criticizing their policies, by using the powers of the state for harassment and intimidation.

He described this self-censorship as a form of “protective stupidity” that supports the totalitarian regime, even at the defiance of logic. Orwell called this concept “blackwhite,” which had two meanings: “Applied to an opponent, it means the habit of impudently claiming that black is white, in contradiction of the plain facts. Applied to a Party member, it means a loyal willingness to say that black is white when Party discipline demands this.”

We see the same thing today: Intolerance is bad, unless it’s intolerance of those who oppose socialist policies—then it’s encouraged. Attacks on religion are bad, unless they’re attacks on religions that the regime opposes. Racism is bad, unless it’s attacks on the “oppressive” races.

What we’re witnessing is the same theory of thoughtcrime that Orwell envisioned, with a similar thought police enforcement branch and the same doublethink, crimestop, and blackwhite tools to justify it.

Proxy Dialectical Wars is beginning to make a lot more sense.
