    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?

      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.

    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.

    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)

      If you’re an American paying taxes you can’t boycott Israel. It doesn’t even need to be a law.

      Seems like they’re trying to turn boycott in to a dirty word.

        Yes yes I know where my tax dollars go, thank you. Well, ok actually not entirely, but yes to fund the irl fucking evil empire.

        But boycotts make me think of private citzens not buying a product, or from a store or provider, etc.

    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.

      No no. The “liberal” won’t be liberal enough. Gotta wait for the right type of liberal before we vote against Nazi.

      /sarcasm

        Gotta wait for another nazi who’s liberal enough.

        Do y’all want genocide? Or do you want liberal genocide? Remember, if you don’t vote for genocide, then the genocide is your fault.

    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)

      Rich people spending money is free speech.

      Anti-genocide activists not spending money is terrorism.

      AKA the usual.

    First you get people comfortable with defending genocide in another country, then they won’t be so resistant when you start doing it in your own country.
