How do you outlaw a boycott? It's not an act, it's a non-act. An absence of a purchase. How do you distinguish boycott from just not buying something you don't want or need like any other item. Are we going to be required to put so much of our purchases toward Isreal now?
You outlaw a boycott by using violence against those who promote the boycott. It's not even anything new. Many states have already been doing this. Not to mention recent disappearances of anti-genocide activists.
Violence in service of hegemony is almost the entire purpose of the state.
Ding ding ding.
This is how they "lawfully" throw "dissidents" into the gulag.
Remember...most of what Hitler did was technically legal and above-board. Because they controlled the laws and shaped them as they saw fit.
This is brilliant, you could have the gestasi inspecting everyone at the checkouts at a supermarket, and if you don't buy a Sodastream cartridge, you get disappeared.
(Sodastream is an Israeli company, and used to manufacture their machines in an industrial park in an Israeli settlement on the West Bank)
Sodastream is an Israeli company
I didn't know that. Good thing I've been boycotting their cylinders for years.
Well fuck, I just got one, I just assumed they were a german company since they're so popular there
If you make the 1st Amendment illegal, the rest of the Constitution cannot be far behind.
if? people have already been blackbagged for their speech. this is just encoding something already in effect.
How tf can u ban a boycott, how is that even possible let alone provable 🤦 Politics aside if I js don't like a brand that endorses or has ties to Israel would I then be subject to charges. How u trynna force people to buy from certain companies, what if I was bruk, would I be breaking the law? 🤡
Excuse me I saw you drinking flat water where is your soda stream ice this one get this one
Nazi America
Brought to you by millions of fascist fucks, including your own family and friends.
Buy a gun.
How do you enforce anti boycott, how do you force someone to spend their money?
Dont get me wrong Ill know they will try again, but wow.
Any government that tells you what you can complain about
Is by definition a Totalerian government
America can't be taken seriously anymore.
It's a good thing Russia gave half of a wakeup call to the rest of the free world to arm the fuck up 3 years ago. We know America can't be relied on for anything anymore.
Hey big shoutout to all the Redditors and Lemmy guys who told me that we can have no restrictions on free speech because if we restrict Nazis they will restrict us if they ever gain power.
Welp, here ya go...like I told you...and many of you blocked and/or banned me for saying it. Ironic.
Hopefully someone makes a list of brands and companies that you aren't allowed to boycot according to usa republicans and then publishes that list online on a user friendly website. After all, without that information, people might be unknowingly breaking the law when they start a personal boycot.
Don't worry guys, this will surely create blowback next election and a liberal can be back in charge
No no. The "liberal" won't be liberal enough. Gotta wait for the right type of liberal before we vote against Nazi.
/sarcasm
The courts won't enforce this right, because of freedom of speech, right?
Fuck this shit, this is intentionally vague to be used as a cudgel
How is this to enforced. Is there to be a Israeli mandated amount of product that you would need to buy.
Well, if that isn't freedom of speech, I don't know what is. So much freedom, it oozes oil.
Can someone explain why Israel is so important to them? Aren’t these the same people who are antisemic? Additionally, how does supporting Israel make the us a Christian nation?
Didn't CU rule that spending money is free speech? So isn't compelling the spending of money compelling speech? Sounds straight up unconstitutional.(as if that fucking matters these days)
How to hack your GDP while ordinary people suffer
Why? Your country gained its wealth by becoming the world's largest weapons manufacturer, making it the greatest financial beneficiary of WW2. That manufacturing infrastructure didn't just disappear overnight.
There you have it. Production and consumption which keeps your GDP and GDP per capita growing without providing a meaningful benefit to the greater good.
