  • Ben Breit. Global Trust Communications Director at Airbnb

He banned Lauren Southern for being "affiliated with hate groups".

When asked to explain the specifics of the ban - meaning to identify the specific hate groups and the nature of the affiliation in order to establish a rule violation - his only response is:

  1. "literally googling her name brings all this up"

  2. "if you'd like me to do that job for you and send you links, let me know"

So he's a condescending cunt, like your typical redditor, but with a big salary.

Allow me to translate:

  • "We didn't actually work up any rule violation. Instead, we were sitting around in a meeting and someone with blue hair said we should ban Lauren Southern because she was a "nazi and a fascist". I demanded the highest standards of evidence to prove up this allegation, which was met when said blue hair pulled up her wiki page and read the 1st line, describing Southern as "alt right". That was enough for me. I approved the ban right then and there. Then some fascist prick from Tucker asks me if I actually investigated whether she was affiliated with "hate groups" or not because technically I guess that is what our policy says. The fucking gall of this man! SHE'S ALT-RIGHT, okay? What more evidence do you need? I'm not going to waste my time digging in the historical archives to prove to you beyond a reasonable doubt that Adolf Hitler was a nazi, okay? I have better things to do, like talking about my cat in zoom meetings between banning Trumpers."

Checked this fuck's LinkedIn.

This guy is a 24/7 PR fuck. Funny thing? He was the Sheriff for Cook County. Knowing this guy and how he sounds, he's probably only been in the "safe" side of Chicago/Cook County and maybe occasionally dipping his toes on the "bad" 13/50 side.

I guess his next stop after working for Airbnb is to be a politician since he seems prone to getting careers in lying.

Doesn't work that way. Leftists made a whole big deal out of Rules for Radicals, especially that quote, but it's just leftist's internal propaganda. You can't make your enemy live up to their own rulebook without power. Only power can make and enforce the rules. That bit of "wisdom" is allowed to persist in pop culture because it allows ground-level leftist pawns to feel like they're revolutionaries, and not just pawns for already-existing power.

Communists have no morals to appeal to, feel no shame or contrition, and would sign the paperwork to ship your whole family to Auschwitz as easily as they order coffee in the morning.

conservatives and moderates need to grow a pair. this is why we're all losing. when disney was outed as grooming children for pedophilia, they only lost 2.7 million D+ subscribers. park attendance only dropped a little. there are plenty of conservatives and moderates who are well aware of what disney did and is still doing, and yet they will happily give money over to disney.

there are plenty of conservatives who will happily give airbnb money after this, and their baseless banning of lauren southern's parents who hadn't even used airbnb in over a year.

so long as you keep giving them money, they will keep using it against you. and if you own a business, you need to start publicly rejecting leftist extremists.

May I make a rather off topic comment? I keep reading Tucker's name as "trucker" and wondering why people are answering a random guy's questions.

These retards are like 500000 years too late. While I agreed with what she did back then, Lauren Southern has stated in a video or two that she regrets doing that interception of the boat of illegals many years back (it's what the leftists claim is the reason why she's associated with "hate groups"). Claims she was too young and stupid and brash. While I actually was fine with her doing it, there is a point that just doing it once as a journalism stunt is like trying to stem the bleeding from one cut when there's a million other cuts coming in. Instead of stopping the other million, you have to deal with what's the CAUSE.

Regardless, Airbnb must have gotten some retards reporting her for whatever. Not surprising.

TL;DR: she was banned for allegedly being part of the fictional alt-right due to being a major dissident right figure.
