LGBTQ organizations can threaten and make demands, but no others can? Ah, I see.
A University of Michigan professor referred to boycotts, and other threats against ultra-woke big-box retailer Target as a form of literal terrorism in a recent interview on MSNBC. The retail giant recently shed more than $9 billion in market value since it rolled out an extensive LGBTQ Pride collection of apparel and accessories, some aimed at toddlers and babies. After it was revealed that the stores sold LGBTQ-themed onesies for babies, children's books advocating for drag queen shows, and "tuck-friendly" bathing suits, the Minneapolis-based retailer’s value dropped 12% in just one week. It didn’t help that it turned out a few of the items were designed by an avowed Satanist.
Nonetheless, the pushback against Target’s assault on the sensibilities of a great many of its customers prompted Justin Wolfers, a professor of public policy and economics at the University of Michigan, to appear on MSNBC’s “The 11th Hour” and state:
"One of two things are true. It could be [Target] are cowards and they use that as protection and a smokescreen so they could make a cowardly decision, or it could be that they are actually genuinely concerned about the well-being of their employees and they have had credible threats. If that is the case, when Target caves into this, then it says that the moment you threaten the employees of even a very large corporation, you get to control its policies. This is economic terrorism, literally terrorism, creating fear among the workers and forcing the corporations to sell the things you want, not sell the things you don't."

Our free speech is violence. Their violence is free speech.
Got it?
See my tag line.

A professor who does not know the difference between singular and plural...
Correct. They’re grooming an entire generation of children to turn against their own civilization. One can easily see that dystopian future, where such children, as young adults, are enlisted to strike out at we “terrorists”. Happening already, actually.
Well, they’re certainly good at dishing it out…
Or what about the folks who boycott Disney?!
Along with racist and fascist.
label lost meaning once the childish left began to use it for anything they dislike.
And here I thought a domestic terrorist was someone in the kitchen threatening with a hand held frying pan.

Projection. This is exactly what leftist and homosexual activists have done to private business.
OK, groomer.
BUT democrat party terror groups burning, looting, and destroying any business not on their approved list is just fine.
Well, maybe we should peacefully protest by burning down a few towns and beating some old white folks.
If you want to see a Marxist professor explode and go psychotic, call him a Nazi. Works every time. And when he starts wildly gesturing with his spaghetti arms, accuse him of giving Nazi salutes.
Julius Evola and Guillaume Faye are making more sense with every passing day. See my tag line as well.
They have the Orwellian goal to twist the language to eliminate any means of criticizing the Party, or or praising its enemies. If you can’t speak it, you can’t think it, so the theory goes.
I can picture it.
