Well he killed two people… and got away with it… so I guess if that’s the kind of thing one admires he’s a great example it.

Yep he’s the needle in the haystack of corpses.

Funny how that doesn’t apply to, say, people trying to buy a cake for a gay wedding.

The sad irony is that he specifically shot people who were exercising their First Amendment rights. His goal was to censor people.

He shouldn’t be complaining about his inability to leverage his murders for profit, he should be grateful he’s not rotting in jail where he belongs. It’s beyond infuriating that this travesty of justice has made him feel so invincible that he dares to whine about not getting his way.

What could he possibly have to say? It’s not like he rose to prominence on his wit and insight.

Agreed.
And in the spirit of that line, I’m going to take a deep breath, have a cup of tea, and be grateful he’s having this trouble and isn’t selling out concert arenas. Not to diminish anyone’s suffering. Just to pull my own sanity together a bit.

Is there actually a “woke army” getting the event cancelled? Is it just a planned protest or are the venue owners just having second thoughts about hosting figures such as Anthony Huber and Joseph Rosenbaum’s killer? Have any speaking events like these been disrupted in the same way that drag queens reading books to children have been? I don’t know the answers to these questions, but a cursory search only revealed venue owners being threatened in retaliation for the cancellation.

Exactly. The people who organize these events don’t want to invite people who might surprise them.

It’s only oppression if it’s done to “conservatives”* (and murderers who had a judge that was dewy eyed over making sure he was acquitted).
*Nazis, they are basically nazis now.

That got me thinking about another well-known brainless twit and said twit’s ugly arc and karmic fate.

The brewery claims that they didn’t know who the keynote speaker was until there was a news article about it. The brewery decided to cancel and it was only after canceling that the brewery started receiving threats. Needless to say the threats were not from a woke mob. They were from conservatives. The brewery has explicitly stated that no one forced them to cancel and that there was no woke mob encouraging them to do so
Edited to make sure I said it was the brewery that cancelled

They should post a link to the Michael B. Tager’s Nazi bar thread.
[No Threadreader unroll and it would be too ironic to link to Elon’s bar, so I’ll quote it in full.]
I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, “no. get out.”
And the dude next to me says, “hey i’m not doing anything, i’m a paying customer.” and the bartender reaches under the counter for a bat or something and says, “out. now.” and the dude leaves, kind of yelling. And he was dressed in a punk uniform, I noticed
Anyway, I asked what that was about and the bartender was like, “you didn’t see his vest but it was all nazi shit. Iron crosses and stuff. You get to recognize them.”
And i was like, ohok and he continues.
"you have to nip it in the bud immediately. These guys come in and it’s always a nice, polite one. And you serve them because you don’t want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after awhile they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too.
And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh shit, this is a Nazi bar now. And it’s too late because they’re entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.
And i was like, ‘oh damn.’ and he said “yeah, you have to ignore their reasonable arguments because their end goal is to be terrible, awful people.”
And then he went back to ignoring me. But I haven’t forgotten that at all.

I’m thinking the brewers booked and cancelled specifically for the PR and to stick it the event organizers.
