this is the issue Nolan, your damn hypocrisy, ok for a gym to refuse business to someone, not ok for a baker. I side with the gym in this as they are worried about their business and I said with the baker case a business has a right to refuse anyone's money, it means less revenue though so I think it is a bad business decision

see, I think hypocrites are a-holes

It's a tough call for me. True, she started the confrontation with the Neo-Nazi, but once it's known that a Neo-Nazi belongs to your gym that's located in a diverse area, that makes things tough for your business. It's also possible that once the owner(s) of the gym found out that it was *that* Richard Spencer who belonged to their gym, they cut ties with him based on that, and businesses have a right to do that.

I'm going to apply the cwtcr rule here: bad things happen when you decide to be a Neo-Nazi.
I'm 100% sure you are also fine with Planet Fitness refusing service to radical muslims, black lives matter terrorists, and the douche from Berkeley that threatened to kill white people? I'm sure you can apply you rule.. "Don't be a radical muslim or left wing terrorist"- Simple. I know you will be consistent on this

Haha.
If it turns out at some point in the future that Spencer is gay...Nolan's head would explode.
Thank goodness it is "just" a gym and not a bakery, eh?

These people here were violating the local law. I assume you support the action of the police right? Afterall, they were breaking the law.

Step 1. Declare that as long as someone is a Nazi, it's okay to physically assault them or limit their rights.

Step 2. Declare everyone you disagree with a Nazi.

Is it possible for you to frame an argument without assigning irrelevant, emotional labels? I don't think you can.

The gym doesn't even meet the same standard of scrutiny that the bakers did, IMO.

This is where you being stupid makes you say stupid things. The Nazi did nothing wrong, he was minding his own business. It was only the professor causing a scene. You're lying about him causing an issue to create an illusion of moral equivalence and dismiss him when it was only the professor that was the problem. Only she should go as she was yelling at and cursing a customer, a violation of their policy. Oh well, I'm sure you'll continue derping the same bullshit that you already have.

He won't say it, but he really thinks he can discriminate against views he doesn't like while protecting ones he likes. It's as simple as that, an authoritarian making up rules to fit his wants in the current situation. Thankfully our laws strive to be more thoughtful and even handed than he has the ability to be.

That's exactly what he's doing.

Attach a hateful moniker to a person...presto...its OK to discriminate or assault them.

Nazis did the same thing with Jews. Portray someone as evil subhumans and it's ok to harass them. This is how atrocities happen.
