I actually miss the days when corporations were 'if it makes money and government agents can't raid us, do it!' compared to the modern day where a lot of them are petty motherfuckers..

Bring back corporate greed.

Corporate moralizing is a hellscape.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.

I paraphrase it often, but it's difficult to convey the same point as the original without using C.S. Lewis' words themselves.

They actually believe it will make them money. They must be taught it will not.

Boycotts ain't enough, we need Destroycotts. Like the Woke Left's "mostly peaceful protests" or the Boston Tea Party, targeted at Woke corporate property

in Minecraft.

And with ESG, they may be right. Blackrock/Vanguard may very well be paying them a ton of other people's money to not do business with valid customers.

They must be taught it will not.

True, but it's also not that easy since, as mentioned above...often the customers are, well, no longer the primary customer. It's what makes ESG so insidious.

We can't have anything even resembling free market capitalism if the primary transaction isn't between customers and the goods/services provider.

True, plus they are using our own 401ks to buy the world up from underneath us. It's pretty sick

Epstein and Maxwell’s families don’t receive this treatment.

Her parents should sue Airbnb for violating breach of contract on the basis that Airbnb published Rules they relied upon, and that Airbnb banned them despite them not violating any Rule.

"We reserve the right to refuse service to anybody" does not work for a platform open to the general public for which all persons are invited to use the service subject to explicit rules. Those rules are a contract whereby if you agree to obey them, you are promised that your use of the service will not be interfered with. If you don't violate the rules, it's a breach of contract to ban you.

^ this, and not 1A arguments, is IMO the best method of attack against these libtards.

Now, the libtard platforms could protect themselves from the above attack by changing their Rules to say "we can ban you any time for any reason", but forcing them to make that admission would be a big win. We should not allow them to PRETEND to be rule-based when they really are not.

Another creepy/nefarious thing about this is how did they find out this was her parents..??

IP Address tracking? Just some intern researching and guessing from the names??

It's very weird, if, as she says, they've never booked anything for her, or used their account in a way associated with her...

Suggests that someone at AirBnB went to a specific effort to make that connection, and then weaponise it...

Extremely creepy, whatever you may think of Southern herself...

See, I always thought this company was evil, but unlike say, Apple or Facebook, they've largely been above reproach/managed to weasel/bribe/influence their way around any questioning of the absolutely wack shit that they do...

Literally nothing about them is good anymore, unless you a) inexplicably hate hotels, b) are travelling somewhere with no other options, or c) make money off them (grifters et al.)...

They're a shit company. I would say "I hope their competitors best them", but then, they don't really have any true competition, in their specific "niche" (Stayz, I guess, but they're much, much smaller)...

This whole model of doing business needs to die, at least when it comes to real estate (and fucking food delivery)...

Wikipedia calls Lauren Southern "alt-right". Okay, let's look at her views.

She has called the Black Lives Matter movement a "terrorist organisation", and a "divisive, violent movement that has fascistic tendencies"

true

She has asked whether a multicultural society would require witch doctors at medical conferences

We have black Harvard law school professor women doctors saying that obesity is genetic and a brain disease, so... fair question.

she caused controversy for publicly criticizing an "Asian only" room-share advert that she had photographed and called it "extremely tribalistic"

She is correctly pointing out that you can't do "whites only", but you can do it as long as it harms whites or at least doesn't benefit whites and therefore in aggregate harms them.

In 2018, Southern produced a documentary called Farmlands which falsely claimed that racially motivated farm attacks in South Africa may represent an impending genocide

It's not false. Black politicians in South Africa openly call for genocide against whites in political speeches sometimes.

Southern said transgender people have a "genuine delusion", adding "It's body dysmorphia and that is a mental illness".

100% true.

Southern has spoken in opposition to feminism[63] and has said that women are "not psychologically developed to hold leadership positions",[48] and "not going to be as great being CEOs".

True and True

Margaret Thatcher was the best the Bongs could do in the 80s, though.

In June 2015, Southern reported on the Vancouver SlutWalk, a protest march of sexual assault survivors, for The Rebel Media. She said her protest sign stating "There Is No Rape Culture in the West", was torn up.

  • call themselves sluts
  • violently attack a peaceful protester

No wonder they got raped.

In a 2017 YouTube segment titled "How Feminism Made Women Unhappy", Southern said: "Traditionalism offers a lot of stability in people's life, it offers a guide for how to lead them to the happiest life."

It is a scientific fact that more traditional people are happier. Every study looking into it says so.

Do they still tell the lie about her trying to sink a refugee boat with a flare gun?

I prefer my capitalism to be amoral and honest, not deceitful and principled.

I've never used them but it sounds like people renting them out are insane now. Like you have to clean and take out the garbage or they charge you $200, etc. Saw the other day someone said they rented one with a pool and the day or day before they arrived the host told them to heat the pool costs like $100/day.

They're really trying go force the whole parallel economy thing, aren't they?

I'm not sure it's going to work out quite the way they think it will.

How would Airbnb even know? I have tons of clients and they often share last names with celebs, politicians. Doesn't mean they're all related. And if they are, no one has ever volunteered that information to me. "Joe and Cindy Southern booked a room. Better do a Google search to see if they're related to that pesky Lauren Southern just in case.". Something tells me they found out another way. Cookie tracking and cross referencing a IP or some shit from when Lauren used their website years prior.

Clearly the thing to do is to identify any one of their units, break in, and take a shit in a closet or dump a few gallons of pig blood in the pool, or something.

that's not punishing AirBnB the company though, as satisfying as it might be
