> If Rosa Parks didn't like sitting in the back of the bus, Buses are run by governments. And Rosa Parks wasn't advocating throwing molotov cocktails at bus drivers, she sat in the wrong damn seat in an act of civil disobedience. > If GMC wouldn't sell her a bus, It'd be great if GMC would refuse selling vehicles to insurrectionist militias, IMHO. Your analogies aren't doing any good here.

I believe the bus was operated by National City Lines. Could be wrong.

    They were free to not do business with the city of Montgomery, if I’m following the logic of some of today’s discussion correctly.

>Buses are run by governments. Not the one Rosa Parks was on. >And Rosa Parks wasn't advocating throwing molotov cocktails Rosa Parks no, but other Black groups most definitely. Same with Parler, not everyone was advocating violence. >It'd be great if GMC would refuse selling vehicles to insurrectionist militias, IMHO. Yup, stop selling them to the Black insurrectionist militias (codeword for any Black political group), would have been great. >Your analogies aren't doing any good here. They're pretty great honestly, describes the general idea well.

Not only that, Rosa Parks was discriminated because of who she was while the MAGA goons and the platform they used are receiving backlash for behaving like pos and refusing to moderate the violent posts. The parent poster is deliberately muddying the water with the twisted analogy.

  This is the most important part. We need to defend people from being discriminated for who they are, but things they do is fair game.

    More specifically, for the things they do towards the destruction of our democratic society.

> Rosa Parks wasn't advocating throwing molotov cocktails at bus drivers, she sat in the wrong damn seat in an act of civil disobedience. Agreed. But because some others didn't take her approach to civils rights, but were violent, why should she be canceled? It would be interesting to ask people at that time in history whether they saw her actions as violence or inciting violence. I bet the answer is a big ol' yes. I bet even many thought it was inciting the overthrow society/government.

  Cancelled != civil disobedience Everything else in your response is bad faith
