    Bottled Blonde did not provide further details other than describing itself as a private business that “does not engage in political activity or affiliations” and “reserves the right to refuse service to any patron at its discretion.”

    No neutral on a moving train. You serve him or don’t, either way you’ve taken a stand that no amount of corp speak can mitigate.

      Refusing to serve someone for no reason than their political standing is engaging in political activity and affiliations lmfao.

      Serving a fascist a burger doesn’t make you a fascist, but not serving them for any other reason makes your statement clear.

        Serving a fascist turns your establishment into a “safe space for snowflakes”

        You are absolutely and completely wrong

          Plausible deniability is definitely a thing. I couldn’t pick Bovino out of a lineup personally, so if some jerkoff in a red sweater (which appears to be the case there.) got some food and drinks at a place I ran I wouldn’t think about it at all.

          Once it comes to light that red sweater jerkoff is King Megadick of Turd Mountain (Like him posting about eating with the boys at my place on Instagram or whatev.), then that plausible deniability is lost and now the place is either the place that knowingly served King Megadick, or the one that kicked his dumb ass out. One of those will (rightly) cause a huge drop in business and maybe employees.

            Lots of nuance for “we are nazis” or “we throw nazis to the curb”

            You can put as many pretty words as you want on this, but one of those two statuses are all anyone cares about

                  Funny how the ones that feel the need to say this, are the ones guilty of it. Your the only one being fallacious here dude.

                  Mine wasn’t directed at anyone, if you feel you lack nuance and it was directed at you, that’s on you. It wasn’t a personal attack. Do you not know what ad hominem means?

          How so? A customer is just a number until they make an issue. Anything else is just prejudice and bias, which makes you a terrible person also.

          You’re expecting way too much out of people flipping burgers lmfao.

          There’s also a pretty big difference between serving someone an order and whatever you think else is being done. Can you explain better please?

            Intolerance for the intolerant is a thing.

            If you go around hating people for things they can’t change (like where they’re from, where they were born, colour of their skin, accent etc), then you’re a shit person and deserve being removed from being around decent people who accept people for who they are.

            You choose to be a cunt.

        If you see 6 people eating lunch with a nazi… You’re actually looking at 7 nazis.

        Frankly. If I were marching for a cause, and saw a bunch of white hoods or nazi flags going with me, you bet your ass I’d stop what I was doing and think real hard about being in that movement. The fact that republicans don’t kick them out is very telling.

        If I had a business, I sure as fuck wouldn’t serve ICE, DHS, DOGE, nazis, klansmen, and republican politicians.

          If you see 6 people eating lunch with a nazi… You’re actually looking at 7 nazis.

          What does that got to do with serving or waiting on them? You’re arguing an entirely different thing here, and that’s the point that’s trying to be made. Way to fuck that up.

          That’s an entirely different scenario, and I wholly agree with that one.

          Life has nuance, don’t be a terrible person yourself by missing it.

            The nuance is if you don’t know they are nazis. Once you know that they are nazis, and that they aggressively advocate for the extermination of other humans based on core immutable characteristics of those persons, then they have forfeited any expectation of being treated decently in any establishment.

            You want nuance? Then show me a good nazi. Show me a Nazi that advocated for emptying the concentration camps and giving the prisoners back their homes, property, and restitution for their murdered family.

            Fuck all nazis. Fuck all klansmen. Fuck all republicans who are still defending this fascist, racist, pedophile-ridden administration. Fucking MTG bowed out, the Jewish Space Lasers lady was finally like “woah, you guys have gone too far.” Anyone who isn’t actively shunning them at this point is tacitly supporting them.

              You want nuance? Then show me a good nazi.

              https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Plagge

              Through these efforts he was able to protect over 1250 Jews from the genocide occurring in Vilna until the final days of the German occupation. Although unable to stop the SS from liquidating the remaining prisoners in July 1944, Plagge managed to warn the prisoners of the imminent arrival of SS killing squads, allowing about 200 to successfully hide from the SS and survive until the Red Army’s capture of Vilnius. Of 100,000 pre-war Jews in Vilnius, only 2,000 survived, of which the largest single group were saved by Plagge.

              I don’t know how much of that dude I agree with, but life does have nuance. Your last paragraph is spot on though.

              There’s no room for knowingly serving Nazis.

                After being dismissed from the position of lecturer for being unwilling to teach racism and his opposition to Nazi racial policies, he stopped participating in party activities in 1935 and left the party when the war broke out.

                He quit being a nazi almost 10 years before he started issuing falsified work permits and saving people from the Holocaust.

                I’ll concede that you technically found a nazi that was arguably a good person, but he also quickly stopped being a nazi when it became clear what the nazi party was planning to do. Plus, being a nazi, or klansmen, or a Republican is a choice, you can literally stop doing that shit at anytime.

    Gets fired from his fascist, pedophile ridden, cult of personality, and then goes to Vegas huh? Looking for some sexy time little Greggy? I doubt any sex workers will agree to touch your sad penis. Go jump in a volcano.
