Lol yeah okay you keep telling yourself the bolded. God damn Republicans are so simple minded, you can smell the projection from miles a way.

And yes I agree with you. If Republicans want to boycott then they’re free to as well, I’m just pointing out the absolute hypocrisy that they suddenly believe corporations need to shut up and pay them. I’m all for transparency, if there’s an owner who donated to AOC you and the rest of the right wing clowns can have fun boycotting. That’s the great thing about transparency.

The only reason Conservatives believe it’s a witch hunt is because it’s unpopular to donate to politicians who lied about the election being stolen which led to an attack on the capital. I wouldn’t want people to know I support domestic terrorists either.


The projection always goes left to right here in America. And it is just the simple truth, whether you like it or not. It's called history. Maybe some additional studies?

And you'd have to be Joe Biden to not understand that what Popovich is saying is he wants to root out all the owners who donate to any Republicans so as to dole out some sort of punitive measures. If I said that about people who donate to any Democrats you'd all flip out and riot somewhere.


Dude I already said I don’t care. You’re arguing a point that I never made. I WANT all donations to be public. What punitive damages is Popovich going to dole out? This is the free market speaking. Again Republicans are hilarious hypocrites. You’re literally like children that whine when you don’t get everything your way. The Party of personal responsibility wants zero accountability for their actions. I’m not surprised but its funny how it’s all coming out


What's not surprising is that the fake woke party who elected an old creepy senile White guy President doesn't see the ramifications of their actions.

One party rule forever by adjusting states, packing courts, and allowing illegals in by the tens of thousands is pretty fascistic, agreed.

Biden doesn't even know where he is, that dude isn't doing anything.

"an extreme right-wing political system or attitude that is in favour of strong central government..."

That part is an oxymoron, therefore a bad definition. Also the implication that leftists cannot be fascist is insane. So congrats?

I mean, we can play dumb and pretend this isn’t to single out and “cancel” all of the conservative owners and call them racists with zero evidence of that characterization being true outside of simply being conservative. Maybe we force all of them to sell their teams so we can ensure that only one group of people have any power or platform at all. That’s the new definition of “unity”, “tolerance”, and “democracy”, right?

Just a thought—maybe political threats and baseless claims of racism in sports are a big reason why sports viewership is down about 35% in one year. That or apparently everyone is a mindless racist as of 2020. Amazing how much more united the world was 20 years ago—I wonder what caused the regression.


Zero evidence of racism huh?
Trump unapologetically tweeted out a white power video in 2020. If you still donated $ to him after that, at the absolute best you are comfortable supporting a white supremacist enabler in the most powerful position in our government, whether you are personally racist or not. Still awful either way.
Time for Republicans to stop crying and take some responsibility for letting the party be hijacked by extremists. You arent victims of anything but your own poor decisions.


If Trump retweeted the video unapologetically, he probably would not have removed it when it turns out there was one reference to white power by an old white guy in the video of people supporting Trump...

I would not say the same if the Democratic candidate was ____ but much more evidence of Biden racism over the years than Trump being racist. I won't repeat the list but google them for yourself. With Biden the quotes of stuff he said isn't 2nd hand/third hand or retweets by accident, it is usually public statements he actually made as a politician and not as a crass publicity seeking celebrity like Trump.

Trump from what I do remember retweeted a video where an older guy probably in response to white Democratic activists calling him racist for publicly supporting Trump, finally stated "White Power" in response. In that context, not too different than a black person using the N word to take away its power. That statement alone certain does not necessarily even make someone a racist/white supremacist just as chanting Black Power isn't inherently racist either or anti other ethnicities. Really, need to talk to the individuals to find out what they believe in and know the context of the statements. But in the Youtube/Twitter world, all of this context is often lost.

Probably the worst thing Trump said while President that could be interpreted as racist, he probably said sh**house counties. It was probably misinterpreted by one Democrat at the meeting stating he said sh**hole countries. Republicans did not back up that claim but one did back up hearing s***house in overall comments not quite as bad as one might be led to believe.

One Republican flat out said he said s***thouse which is still a vulgarity that can be interpreted as racist but can also be interpreted as not really racist at all. Politically incorrect/insensitive/stupid? Yes. Whether s***house countries is racist all depends upon your perspective.... I have heard black/hispanic/Asian/white (not many) refer to parts of the bay area as ghettoes. Sometimes "inner city ghettoes". While "inner cities" has an evolving meaning, it was often used to refer to black areas. Are those racist comments or just harshly reflecting the actual situation in certain areas? Kind of depends upon context IMO.

If Popovich, or any of you, believe that it’s appropriate to scrutinize other Americans political choices so that they can retaliate against beliefs with which they disagree, I invite him, or you, to post your names, social security numbers, and bank account numbers, and live your position.

I would not want nearly all of the tech companies/academia/media/et cetera to be spouting extreme conservative ideologies. Freedom of speech is basic to America and Popovich is helping destroy it even more.

Attitudes like Popovich is making things only worse for law abiding poor and working class minorities that live in less affluent areas. Notice how home prices in the suburbs going up nationally but the areas that have had increased crime/violence/looting have home prices falling. If there is the absence of law in an area, less people with alternatives want to live in that area and less people want to invest in those areas. Popovich is only making systemic problems worse.

Check out on Google where Popovich supposedly lives. It appears as though he has a nice little mansion in an affluent area. So, he doesn't pay the consequences of spouting rhetoric that ends up hurting law abiding citizens in poorer areas.

If Popovich lived right now in the poorest sections of San Antonio with the most crime, I would have a little more respect for his comments. Maybe he should give up his high paying NBA coaching job to an underrepresented minority and then live in poor areas without security for the next 5 years. If he does that, I will have a little more respect for his opinion.

Just pasting here, for the sake of posterity, what I wrote in the General Board thread. link

Let's summarize Pop's logic in 3 steps, in a rudimentary way:

- Greater control of who does what, why and when = Greater control in the hands of the State
- Centralized State = Fascism ("Everything within the State, nothing against the State, nothing outside the State" - Mussolini quote)
- Fascism = Totalitarianism

In my country, Pop is what would be called a "caviar leftist", or an "iphone socialist". In others, an "useful idiot".

I bet if you gave a blank piece of paper and a pen to Pop, and asked him to write 5 lines about fascism, he would contradict himself.

Let me tell you one thing, Mr. Pop: take a plane and go to Cuba, Argentina, Bolivia or Venezuela. There, rent a public space, install some huge speakers and try telling the common folk what you're saying there in the USA.

You would be sent to prison in less than 2 hours.

Take a look at how Argentinean's common folk treated its president, last week, when he tried getting out on the streets:



"Socialism for you, Capitalism for me." - Pop's motto

Oh wow popovich just hit the all time low. It's sad watching who he has become - old washed up coach, who wants to appeal to certain people so badly. Does he want some sort of quick political career after he retires? His political experience is as valid as a random guy from the streets. He's out of touch with reality talking about murderings somehow related to republicans, when it's the long time democratic states having that problem. "Black on black crime killing thousands of people every year in democratic states all over America each year? Nope, that's evil republicans fault, do you care about future this and that?" :crazy: "Mass shootings that been going for decades? It's republicans fault too!" All it's missing is if popovich started talking about republicans stealing money from hard working Americans, while in his opinion democrats would never do that...that would complete the circle of the bias BS.

It's ironic how freedom of speech gives guys like him platform to talk about anything he wants, and he uses that to push public-shame propaganda :lol:

He is indeed, you said it perfectly. He is a former military guy. in his 70s, old enough to live through a big portion of cold war era and all it's propaganda methods. And yet he's talking about persecution things in between his lines, sounding like a babble with no logic. NBA team owners or whatever can fund republicans or democrats without some big publicity. Let's track down all popovich money transactions then, now that would be fun! "I wanna know that cause I care about America's future and he's a rich guy" :lol:

Ironically he almost sounds like those hipsters who drink wine together and talk about philosophical things. Then money runs out, they dont wanna go to work and parents no longer give them money, so they start reading BS like marxism cause it offers them free little money and equal rights to everyone and makes them look like bunch of freedom fighters changing the world :lol: useful idiots like you said.

I think the point is there should be corporate funding of elections and if private funding by individuals is allowed this should most certainly be reported for any conflicts of interest though allowing any funding of this sort is tantamount to legal bribery anyway and I am calling it from all sides..

an extreme right-wing political system or attitude that is in favour of strong central government, aggressively promoting your own country or race above others, and that does not allow any opposition


Lmao God this is embarrassing. Words mean nothing to right wingers they just spout stupid bull that they hear in their right wing echo chamber. Literally nothing matters to these clowns except crying about made up culture war issues. The fact that the process doesn’t even bother to address the full definition just proves that these guys can’t think through complex issues. No wonder they worship a clown like Trump who’s similarly simple minded.
