Reply to comment by flaaaacid in Central Bucks SD playing the victim card after losing their communications firm by Pennzingers

This has nothing to do with the free market. The PR firm, which doesn't necessarily share the same sentiments as the school district, is being harassed by by the very group that claims to be tolerant and civil.

It once again just goes to prove that both sides have absolutely no qualms with resorting to these antics.

Weird take. Not sure that’s something I’d find particularly funny but you do you.

Both sides is what's funny to me. One side banned books, the other side said "don't represent people who ban books. Banning books is bad." But yeah, both sides. OK.

It’s one thing to say “don’t represent people who ban books” and another to harass and threaten. The latter is also illegal. You can try to manipulate, boil it down, and turn a blind eye to it all you want but it doesn’t change the facts of what’s happening. The narrative here is constantly that violence and harassment is a staple of the right and yet here is yet another example of that not strictly being the case.

The people who banned books said it happened so it must be true.

Not really. I'm literally saying that I think it's bullshit, and I don't believe them.

You’re deflecting in order to not address the point at hand. I’m sure the PR firm who was raking in easy cash from the district just randomly decided to part ways for no reason whatsoever… yeah that sounds about right. Use your brain, even a little bit.

Edit: I can’t reply for some reason, but the argument here is not about whether it’s right or not right to ban books. People obviously can have differing opinions there. The point I’m making is that, especially on Reddit, we love to believe that harassment and violence comes from just one side. This is yet another example of that not actually being the case.

Folks from both the left and the right have a tendency to resort to to these tactics when they feel disenfranchised. You can choose to believe it or not but the proof is right here in the pudding.

OR...maybe they realized that doing business with fascists is bad PR and therefore bad for the PR business they are in. That's a reason and not random.

Or just... don't ban fucking books. You expect people to not get livid about that?

Except that is literally the free market. You think there are actual rules to it?
