I disagreed with Kaep's approach not his right.

Except people still dismissed the issue. Convenient excuse, hate the messenger so that you can block out the message

The message was some vague "america is bad and racist" attack

So you informed yourself and then took a stance? Well done. Doesn’t sound like you tried that with Kaep though.

Kaep hasn't really informed himself either, have you heard him talk on the

Don't blame me if Kaep can't communicate a clear message

I still don't understand why Kaep couldn't have protested in a way that

The point of the protest was so that you would hear about it...?

You missed the sarcasm.

Right? Why can’t every protest be silent. I ain’t got no time for that!

Because obviously every social issue and every protest is exactly the same

This is a bad oversimplification of the situation.

Oh my life in the US is worlds better than it would be in China, for sure. But

All segments of our people are worlds ahead of the average Chinese person.

Offer any Chinese you want a trade and you’ll get taken up on it

Isn't this the part where all the people who gave this a thumbs up are supposed

I'm kind of surprised you got some thumbs up

Look who gave it the thumbs up and you won't be surprised.

Just like the Chinese government criticizing the NBA, we had POTUS criticizing the

Uh, the Chinese essentially forced a suspension of business with the Rockets.

No, Trump is worse than the Chinese Government. He has to be.

Your post mentioned the government censoring speech. In that regard, I think the two

Look Trump is an idiot in the highest regard. However comparing Trump speaking

China is worse. But the principle of the thing, IMO, is the same: the government

10/8/19 8:24am
What was the government component in the Kaep situation? If it just Trump
Ozymandias
10/8/19 8:27am
Is Trump in his official role no longer the government, then?
mik3
10/8/19 8:31am
So in your mind, asking is the same as pressuring?
Ozymandias
10/8/19 8:37am
If you're the president, and you've pressured the league in public to do something about it,
mik3
10/8/19 8:42am
How was he pressuring? What was he threatening?
Ozymandias
10/8/19 8:50am
You think the president constantly criticizing something and contacting the decision makers

10/8/19 9:34am
Without the threat of involvong the government to force the issue, it has no

Trump didn't do anything in his official capacity. Because he couldn't. So, it

Except some of his criticism came during a press conference in his official capacity.
mik3
10/8/19 9:32am
And?
Ozymandias
10/8/19 9:33am
And it was in his official capacity. Thought that was a simple point to grasp.
mik3
10/8/19 10:26am
Was he threatening governmental action?
Ozymandias
10/8/19 11:17am
Did he use government power to completely shut them down?
califcougar
10/8/19 8:14am
No, just to pressure them into passing rules to prevent protests.

10/8/19 8:18am
Pressuring them how?
Ozymandias
10/8/19 8:21am
RE: Pressuring them how?

10/8/19 8:21am
So in your mind, asking equals pressuing?

I am amazed at the number of patriotic conservatives that support communism.
crazY
10/8/19 8:24am
I'm surprised that people think pointing out hypocrisy equals supporting communism.
mik3
10/8/19 8:28am
Haha, whenever conservatives point out hypocrisy y'all scream #whataboutism.
Ozymandias
10/8/19 8:29am
Haha "conservatives". You should look up that whataboutism actually is first.

Huh? I wasnt referencing only this particular thread.
