What caveat have I employed?

I think the onion is being peeled back a little.
No you donât. You think you find a life preserver is a sea of chickens coming home to roost.
That literally makes no sense.
Sure it does. You just wonât see it.
Or ⊠and now hear me out⊠it was nonsense.
It makes sense and you know it. Are the âprotected classesâ continuing to grow? Of course they are.
Helen Keller could have seen that one coming.
Are private property rights continuing to disappear? Of course they are. Fundamental principle of liberalism by the way.
If eventually every âclassâ is protected by the government, where are we?
JayJay:
They arenât complaining about being âcensoredâ on Twitter because a baker was being forced to bake a cake.
This is the key⊠the Baker being denied has nothing to do with the conservative grievance of lib censorship
Of course it does.

Jezcoe:
Simple yes or no.
Should Private platforms should be forced to carry content that they do not want to?
Simple yes or no.
Should private businesses be forced to provide services they donât want to?
No.
But I am a straight white guy so it is likely not going to affect me.
This caveat.
Of course it does.
Which public accommodation law did Twitter violate by banning Trump?

This is an argument that I am not making.
WuWei:

Public accommodation.
This is an argument that I am not making.
I know, I am. Your argument, from what I can tell, is that itâs ok for this but not for that.
Public accommodation.
Yes thatâs the law.
What part of it was violated? Do you need me to post the contents of it?
Do we all agree that it is legitimate to be intolerant of discrimination in the private sector on some basis but not others?

It wasnât a caveat. It is the truth.
The elimination of public accommodation laws will likely not affect me because of a myriad of reasons⊠being a straight white dude is among them.
That isnât a caveat⊠it is just reality.
Still⊠get rid of them⊠itâs been enough time. Maybe people arenât jerks like they used to be.
It wasnât a caveat. It is the truth.
The two are not mutually exclusive.

You are making MY argument for ME.
Cool

No, Iâm really not. Did you not read my very clearly stated position above?
Do we all agree that it is legitimate to be intolerant of discrimination in the private sector on some basis but not others?
That, like not wanting to have public accommodation laws, has zero bearing on whether or not they should be forced to carry content that they do not want to.
get rid of them
They arenât going anywhere. Apply them.
Jezcoe:

Uh⊠yeah⊠it is.
A recognition of a fact of the world is not a caveat.
WuWei:

That, like not wanting to have public accommodation laws, has zero bearing on whether or not they should be forced to carry content that they do not want to.
It is the very reason for it. âDo not want toâ is irrelevant.

We want to get rid of them⊠not expand them⊠right?

You donât want either.
Neither do I.
It seems like we should be in agreement here.
