Union strike incoming?

Genuinely hate this. Thanks to the so-called "vibe shift" all of the ostracism mechanisms pioneered by the left are now being turned against them. I think the lesson here is that when building tools of social change, consider what happens when they're turned against you. I agree with Keira Knightley[1] - people need to learn to live with those that disagree with them (again).

Can you identify for us which merger approvals or broadcast licenses were threatened by the incumbent left-wing government for private parties engaging in protected speech?

HN deserves comments with less of a short horizon on history.
The ghost of Joseph R. McCarthy is questioning your hot take on ostracism mechanisms.

this is mostly jewish people excising jewish people, so primarily a political in-group reshuffling in this particular case
not really worth the rest of our’s energy, the topic is rage bait and ongoing but this thing happening within Paramount is a little different
should stay relegated to political associations within Israel, would be much less awkward for the rest of us

This article is about how Javier Bardem, Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone, and Mark Ruffalo are blacklisted from Paramount. Which one of those actors are Jewish?

Even if all parties involved were Jewish, I still don’t understand why that would make it not of interest to others that a corporation is blacklisting people on the basis of a mainstream political viewpoint.

Ya I say we come up with some type of “final solution” for global Jewery. Would be much less awkward for the rest of us.

Will Scorched Earth Hasbara round 2 even work, I wonder? The cat's out of the bag for the American populace like it never has before. Shouldn't Israel's reputation be beyond repairing?
