America's Got Talent' alum loses gig on ZZ Top guitarist's tour after posing in MAGA hat, holding Ch

Clear Channel enforced. A private company having rules of use for their private property isn't fascism.

 

And of course you feel the same about all the Hollywood stars and their vile comments on trump and his supporters. They to should be banned from FB and fired from TV shows and movies productions.

 

Why am I having no trouble finding Trump supporters on Facebook? You assured me they were banned.

 

If a producer or director from a film the actor was working on wanted him/her gone for that reason - they would be. And yes, I would feel the very same. If you want to make a stand, you have to understand the potential consequences...good and bad.

 

Exactly. Dixie Chicks became unpopular while Blount was forcibly removed by FB for expressing his opinion and subsequently fired for the same post. That is purposeful control of speech and punishment for wrong thinking. Stalin did the same but in a more deadly fashion and that's where this eventually leads.

 

If bring the operative word here. We both know that doesn't happen. Only conservatives get that treatment.

 

Good to know you don't take fascism or it's victims seriously. And anyone claiming to have trouble finding Trump supporters or MAGA hats on FB is lying to you. According to your "logic," you are part of a fascist forum, since it has rules of use and people have been banned for violating them. Would you kick someone out of your house for saying certain things? Welp, you are a "fascist" too then. This is what happens when paranoia and snowflakism highjack a term's actual meaning.

 

I've seen two liberal friends booted from FB. I have no problem finding conservatives on FB. Your argument has no merit.

 

So if punishment for "wrong speech" isn't fascism what in your opinion is!

 

And what exactly did your liberal friends post? Did they wear a Hillary hat and drink a Starbucks coffee?

 

Actual suppression of free speech in the public sphere, not just a private property owner have rules of use for those wishing to borrow his private property.

 

They were trolling conservative Christians. And I see MAGA hats in my newsfeed all of the time.

 

You asked if I would feel the same about Hollywood and I answered.

Part of being politically charged or any other kind of activism is that you either know your audience and act accordingly, or you face the consequences. You can't have it both ways. If he was truly committed to his 'cause', then he should consider it a badge of honor.

 

His audience didn't abandon him. Fascist FB banned his post and ZZ fired him for the same. I'm a huge ZZ fan and very conservative as are all my conservative friends so that wasn't the issue here. In fact the guy in my avatar could be me as far as beards go. Lol

 

It depends on motive.

It's a definition, but people aren't more or less dead, no.

 

It's not up to me.

But if their employers feel it's antagonistic and there are no laws prohibiting in in the jurisdiction/s in question, that can happen, yes.

 

Some good points.

 

Can but doesn't. Fascism in America is on the left.

 

In some jurisdictions political beliefs are protected.

But some good points otw.

 

Wha'?

 

Facebook has an obligation to honor and protect the NPS.

I am genuinely horrified by liberal opposition to free speech protection.

 

Naw.

Read the OP article.

He was a troll.

 

Cali actually has laws protecting political affiliation, speech & so forth.

But they're rarely enforced; L.A. liberal fascism - at least in the biz - is very real.
