Texas & Florida Continue to Lead the Nation

They can't force their views on anybody. They are private entities choosing who they personally want to do business with. What you want to do is force your views on them with government.

"Outsiders." You mean investors?

Again, the only one looking to use government force here is you and DeSantis. You are the one pushing government mandates.

 

So now you are admitting that you are for using the government to dictate the views of others? So much for being for freedom and not having outsiders force their views on others.

 

Well, there it is.

 

No, because I actually value freedom. If you don't like their business strategies, you can invest in them to try to change their policies, lobby for them to change their policies as a potential customer, or form a competitor with different policies. You know, free market solutions. You don't run whining to the government to enforce your will on them. Not unless you are an authoritarian that doesn't actually value freedom.

Yes, you do not value freedom and want to enforce your will on others to believe what you do with government mandates. We know.

 

Corporations can't mandate anything, only choose who and how they individually want to do business. You are choosing big government above the free market.

 

So you think government should be dictating people's beliefs to them? Congratulations, you are the big government authoritarian.

 

"We" as in people reading your posts here. You don't value freedom and want the government to tell people what their beliefs should be and punish those that don't have your beliefs for no reason other than they don't match your beliefs. Freedom is not a catch phrase, even though you appear to be using it as one to back authoritarianism.

 

Yes, you have made it very clear that you are willing to use government force to punish those you disagree with. I find that to be downright un-American, but you do you.

 

They have no ability to censor. They are not the government. And, again, you always have the free market options open to you. But those aren't good enough, so you choose big government to enforce your will on others.

I agree with their right to do it. Because I believe in freedom and don't think it is my role as an "outsider" to decide who PayPal does business with. As an outsider, you apparently think it is your role.

If you don't want to use their service because you don't like their policies, then don't. See, no mandate. And you didn't have to turn into an authoritarian to make it happen.

 

Funny thing is that your views would be abhorrent to people who actually favor freedom. You think getting a majority means that you can use government to dictate to other people what their views must be. You think might makes right. Like all authoritarians.

 

You don't favor free markets. A free market solution would be to say "PayPal has beliefs and I disagree, let me protest against them, use my own freedom of expression to convince them that they are wrong, invest in them and get them to change policies, or form a competitor." You are in favor of running to big government crying about how they were mean to you and asking them to punish them for not having your beliefs.
