Author Topic: Richard Spencer gets bulied by woman in gym, loses gym membership  (Read 41863 times)

@badspot

why is it so bad that the gym revoked his membership?

I'm perfectly OK with the idea of private institutions denying service to whoever they please based on whatever they want. The more extreme cases (denying based on race, religion etc) would likely be normalised by societal pressure anyway.

Nobody needs to come up with or curate a political blacklist, that's a pretty ridiculous argument. It should be the choice of the institution, and if it doesn't gel with the norms of the market they'll face economic/reputational repercussions.

So Spencer can go start his whites only gym and that's A-OK with you?
The Kloo Klux Gym.

Because he didn't do stuff.

If the gym revoked the woman's membership would you be complaining? Probably.

"the full range of my first amendment entitlements by telling him that this country does not belong to white men."


By this logic this country does not belong to blacks or mexicans either.

This is great because it'll fuel his politics even more
I mean honestly all anyone is doing at this point is giving him more power. It's like they haven't learned from Annoying Orange whatsoever. If you keep harassing someone for their politics while they're doing totally innocuous things, it will only cause them to gain sympathy from one side and moderates and the people who already dislike him will cheer and look like stuffheads to the rest of us. I don't like the guy's politics but to accost him at a gym while he's only working out, what the forget? What is he, screaming WHITE SUPREMACY at the height of every deadlift? Give me a loving break.

One of hillary's biggest mistake was calling half the nation a basket of deplorables and then tried (actually she succeeded) in getting a green frog meme labeled as hate speech only because Annoying Orange's son posted pepe on twitter.

That stunt may have fooled the anti-defamation league and left-wing handicaps but sane people know know what's really up.

Do you really want a world where you can get banned from random businesses for completely unrelated degeneracy?  It'd be bad news for furries like you.  Not exactly an "appealing track record" to normal people.
This point doesn't work on a larger scale because Richard Spencer isn't the average internet tribal protected by obscurity. If I owned a gym, I wouldn't want to own the gym that Richard Spencer goes to. I wouldn't want Richard Spencer, when asked what gym he goes to by all his national socialist buds, to say "SeventhSandwich's Gym". I wouldn't want my normal clients, who see his face on the news, to decide not to come to my gym anymore because we harbor people who think many of my gym-goers should be exterminated.

Richard Spencer's national socialist bullstuff is never an 'unrelated' part of his person. He is probably one of the most well-known white supremacists in America right now. His face is the closest biological brown townogue to a prison swastika tattoo. He doesn't get to just put that persona down and go be Richard Normalguy on the weekends - the choices that he has made in life have rightfully made him a visible symbol of racism.

If I found out, through completely unrelated and coincidental means, that one of the guys using the rowing machine on weekends is a Klansman, I would leave him alone since he gave me no reason to believe that otherwise. It's not my job to curate people's private lives by using my gym as a court of law. But nothing about Richard Spencer's bullstuff is 'private', and harboring outspoken national socialists at your gym is bad business.

The owner of the Gym knew exactly who Richard Spencer was. If the owner didn't want Richard Spencer in his gym he wouldn't have accepted his loving membership to begin with.

So you can't really claim the owner did the right thing by kicking him out. If the owner truly didn't want Richard in his gym he would have never had him there in the first place.

Then the gym owner's only mistake was not banning him from the get-go.

The owner knew who he was and took his money. He had no reason banning him.

This is a catch 22 situation

The basket of deplorables thing clenched the W for Annoying Orange. Out of everything she said in her campaign, that was the single most idiotic loving thing. She cemented every Annoying Orange vote after that, lmao.

hindsight is 20/20. If Annoying Orange lost we would be saying the same thing about his love abuse tape
