The left censors free expression once again

I don't see a problem with this song. Just compare it to many rap lyrics and you will see how tame this song actually is.

By this song, Chattanooga TN is a small-town. A couple of years ago, some BLM showed up to cause trouble. They were from out of town. They were ran out of town without resorting to violence. The six of them left and did not come back. The counter protest was in the hundreds of all races or so I was told by someone that was there.


It is more of anywhere but certain big cities where this song applies.

Freedom of speech means that yes, a business can choose to not allow certain language/songs/books/whatever on their premises -BUT- the government can't stop anyone from singing the song, drinking Bud Lite, whatever, whichever.

Is it still free speech if the government asks or encourages them to do it?

Asking for a friend.

Once again, a lot of whining about nothing. It wasn’t canceled, sweetness.

God, the whining!

You may not be old enough to remember but a commedianne named Kathy Griffin did something once and I even defended her.

It was a long time ago.

not sure i'd call them left more a bunch of corporatists..liberal icons like belloc warned us what that form of liberalism taking shape would look like while orwell pointed to it when fascism appeared.

a real socialist, liberal or lefty would never praise, demand or rely on the corporate world to impose their ideology on everyone else..

Has this country star lost any gigs?

Wait, wasn’t Republicans that gave corporations huge tax breaks? Wasn’t it Republicans who voted to make it so corporations could have more power?

Don’t know.

Are you planning something?

a reply to: DBCowboy

So he hasn’t lost any gigs? But you’re whiny because he’s been canceled.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Pretty sure Kathy Griffin lost some gigs.

Griffin lost gigs because she is a lunatic that suggested killing Trump.

Aldean performed a song that speaks the truth about a subject that plagues modern America and that hurts the feelz of certain weak minded people.

Time to grow a pair.

I would have to disagree with that statement. The Biden administration has done exactly that, because the COTUS prevents government from doing it themselves (or by the backdoor), and this administration is as left as you can get. Marxist left.

District court grants injunction preventing the Biden administration and other federal agencies from censoring speech it disagrees with on social media platforms.

What're thoughts on Target removing clothing for Pride month due to violent rhetoric from the Right?

Violent rhetoric from who?

USA TODAY

The trannies got pissed when Target capitulated - so the bomb threats began.

DERP

Other films have been shot there. Never heard a word about it.

Well, I listened to a few bars of this song. It's no wonder really that the Leftists would be outraged. I just hope they stay in their Urban Hellscapes and leave us normal people alone.

Nah, I think that was the NFL. He violated terms of his employment contract.

Nice boomerang action there!

CMT, originally launched as CMTV, is an American basic cable and satellite television channel that is owned by Viacom Global Entertainment Group, a unit of the Viacom Media Networks division of Viacom

Per Wikipedia

So the censorship question is really about Viacom’s content policies and who decides within them.

I move that we stop using the negative verb “censor”, and replace it with the affirmative term “curate.” As in, “Viacom curated the crap out of Jason Aldean’s video. “

it still look corporatists, Mussolini was a communist indeed most fascists gave up on socialism and communism as they delivered zero change after hundreds of years trying**..

when the British fascists set up one stream w glorified scouts after the uniforms the others where disenfranchised communists, socialists and liberals who thought corporatism aka fascism was the answer..

for english speakers the debates between the fascists and marxists in britain offer valuable insight lost to wishful thinking the fascists were right wing most admit to come to fascism from a feeling socialism had failed.. the Italian version of fascism the corporatism came second while in the anglosphere the coportaism comes first.. and to understand fascist economic policy is to know keynesianism.. what we are seeing is not lefty.. on the arc the real lefties like sanders or corbyn have already been jettisoned what we are left with in bidenomics is neo-keynesianism.

eta **the hundreds of years refers to the period from the true levellers onwards..
