If Monster Tech can aggressively de-platform businesses and individuals for expressing forbidden opinions, then maybe it’s time for skilled tradesmen to respond in kind against the woke left.

Leftists despise working class “deplorables” and seek to punish them for all their disapproved habits – you know - God, guns, motorized vehicles, and voting MAGA. Well, the tradesmen I know are swamped with business right now, so it might be a good time for them to establish their own “terms of service” enabling them to deny services to advocates of cancel culture. We’ve learned from Monster Tech that all you have to do is declare someone’s speech to be “hateful” or state that their speech might “incite violence” to banish someone from receiving service. If a deplorable can be targeted as hate-filled for simply supporting Trump, then a tradesman’s Terms of Service can in turn declare that any visible support for Democrats constitutes hate speech.

Broken down on the side of the road with a Bernie or Biden bumper sticker? Sorry – you’re going to have to find a wrecker that employs all 57 genders and declares all their pronouns. But Earl’s 24-Hour Wrecker won’t be towing your car today. Terms of service, you know.

Broken down furnace during a deep freeze? Too bad you advocated for a fracking ban on Facebook. That’s a violation of Smith HVAC’s terms of service. It looks like you’ll need to find yourself an HVAC company that can fix you up with 100% renewable energy if you want your heat back on.

What if the trades began refusing business with people by requiring agreement with a "terms of service"? Anyone who posted support of rioters for example could be denied services. If they don't like it, they can go somewhere else or start their own basement flooding company. They, like Big Tech, wouldn't have to be consistent, they could allow someone who cheered the Capitol riot to continue as a customer while denying one who supported firebombing federal offices.

What are your thoughts?

Half the population would be out of work within a month. Doesn't seem very productive.

I agree and am opposed to right to work. Unfortunately most of america disagrees. So we are left with dog eat dog.

geese and ganders! the republicans need to fight back, in kind.

disclaimer: my use of the word "fight" does not mean physical violence. i am not inciting insurrection

one must be careful with words or get cancelled!

I’d love to see uppity snobs being forced to cut their own grass and snake their own toilets.
They’re such weirdos...

We would get them though. Give them the old country reach around...Price gouge them.
Totally rip them off, but dumbasses would pay because they had no choice.

If you are pitching the new Trumps reality show, yeah, I'd probably watch a bit of that too.
