I thought you left wingers were anti big business and were especially antii monopoly. I guess I was wrong. Strange times we live when.

Hitler was "shunning the Jews" because he convinced his audience that the Jews were wealthy beyond the riches and power they deserved.

This is not the case of Trump's henchmen. No one is suspecting they harbor undeserved wealth.

You missed the point of my post. Read it again and see if you can't pick out who I think are the real enemies of the people.

That has nothing to do with it. Shunning was the beginning of 6 million Jews being killed.

I will repeat:

I'm done with you. Good luck.

You can be for workers rights and still be supportive of a company's right to run it's business the way it sees fit, within the framework of fairness. Don't be so obtuse.

This is why anyone who believes in liberty needs to get certain books and documents and histories in PRINT before they are unavailable. Digital media is easily wiped out or altered. It's harder to do that with printed material unless the SS breaks your door down and takes it. And, at this point, I don't think the left wants to risk those optics. Maybe in the future, but not yet.

You have to hand it to Trump...350,000 dead from Covid, five dead at the Capitol and Trump plays the victim with success to his followers.

Seems your being obtuse and not intellectually honest. It's your party who is constantly complaining about big business and claiming bhow uterly evil they are just for their very existence. Now when they do something that censors people you disagree with you all of a sudden flip flop quicker than a fish out of water. Don't try to play me for a fool.

We don't need to welcome these seditionists back into our communities. I would be THRILLED if the trespassers who were the leaders - and that includes the entire heaveho mob - were permanently denied the citizen rights to own a gun, vote, and fly. And placed permanently on a "seditionist" list that would bar them from gaining professional licenses, serving on a jury, etc.

And that's as American as it gets. To not tolerate those who would break into a building for the purpose of killing the vice president.

And if the US were a ship on the ocean, I'd throw them off for attempted mutiny.

And you can call me UnAmerican all you want for that, but I'm fully in the court of defending America from foreign and domestic terrorism.

(Note: I don't include those who came late to the riot, who may not have even known that the rioters had to attack cops to gain entrance, or those who were in fact welcomed by those cops at one entrance. They committed misdemeanors at the very most. I'm talking about the savages, the leaders, the ones who were pounding on doors and breaking through barriers with blood on their minds, and chanting hang Mike Pence and erecting a gallows for the purpose).
The gallows was obviously an effegy. If you think that these people believed that they were going to lead Pence out to the national Mall and hang him then you are truly a moron.

Nazi Germany perfected shunning a group for their ideology and behavior. And it wasn’t just Jews, but also gays, gypsies, Poles, Russians, anyone with a disability, and Jehovah’s Witnesses. Individuality was disregarded—just people labeled and condemned.

Anyone who didn’t conform to the dominant ideology was “shunned”, and eventually tortured and/or killed.

This is exactly what you are proposing to do.

Of course there are other multiple examples throughout history, all more or less heinous.
