    And yet, no "leftist fanatics" have ever been identified anywhere by authorities. While white supremacists plot kidnaps, engage in shootings and have killed people. Not identified by any leftist Just by authorities

    So... go figure....

    How do you know that? What's to stop social justice fanatics from judging normal people via such a system? Progressive left extremists see racism crouching behind every blade of grass, and swinging from the branches of every tree, and what's to stop them from using the Yelp system as the latest weapon in their cancel culture arsenal?

    Do you seriously not see how such a system is ripe for abuse?

    Better than that. I research. Read my sig!

    They were declared by the FBI the most lethal and persistent terrorist threat to the homeland. And they have not stopped proving it.

    You shouldn't. You should do your research like I do. Read my sig!

    I cannot respond to that statement in a frank manner without getting in trouble with the mods. So I guess I'll just have to pass.

    Yeah right, we all know exactly who is going to be targeted by this nonsense and it is by no means these billion dollar corporate machines with massive law firms and influential money. It'll be the local business who will get slapped with a big red ! on their name because a customer had to wait too long to be seated for dinner and since everything in the entire world is racist nowadays it MUST be because the customer was a minority or LGBT or something.

    I give this less than one month before a story arises about how a BLM supporter walked into the local restaurant and said put your fist up and the manager refused and now they have a big ! next to their company name on Yelp. It's not like we don't already have video evidence of folks running around doing this sort of thing to random people eating or anything like that...

    Would you consider Michael "100% Antifa" Reinoehl, who stalked and killed a man, to be a leftist fanatic?

    Of course not. The US has a history of white supremacy from slavery to Jim Crow to school segregation and beyond.

    Racism and White Supremacy are baked into the system, hence systemic racism and White privilege.
    .
    I don't see how you can claim that White Supremacy doesn't rule and support BLM at the same time.

    My God! Not only did I not say that no leftist has ever broken the law, but... you had to go back to the 60s to find these?

    You have proven my case.

    How about the "CHAZ security" who shot two teens and killed one of them? Would you consider them to be "leftist fanatics"?

    Your case was "no "leftist fanatics" have ever been identified anywhere by authorities."

    I only need a single counter example to refute it, and this I have done.

    I provided several contemporary examples, and there was even a leftist fanatic that commited a murder YESTERDAY, so that pretty much shoots his "had to go back to the 60s" argument out of the water.

    So you believe that no one could falsely accuse a business of being 'racist'? That some people are not 'fanatics' and would never do a 'payback' by smearing a company that didn't do what they wanted?

    Are you acquainted with internet 'influencers', and what they do? And that's for pay. And you have no control over someone you aren't paying....

    And the statement to go after anyone who supports the police, yeah, that would be a problem for anyone, now would it.

    Yelp has opened themselves up to all sorts of legal action, especially if someone takes it into their head to do anything to the businesses. This is NOT a good move on Yelp's part.

    I contend that a lefty isn't going to "call out" another lefty is why we don't hear about them.

    The author of the OP didn't bother to tell you, did they? Of course not! It would ruin their whole fabricated narrative.

    So you think it's my job to do that. Sigh! Well, you guys are going to have to get somebody on your side to do your research (read my sig). I'm not going to do your job forever! So don't get too used to it.

    That changes nothing.

    The system is still clearly and obviously ripe for abuse.

    Gibson's Bakery would've been unjustly vilified by such a system.

    www.usatoday.com › opinion › voices › 2019/06/21
    Jun 21, 2019 — Oberlin College officials ordered the suspension of the more than 100-year business relationship with our bakery, and our customers dwindled.

    We were obviously not talking about individual nuts. Those abound everywhere. We're talking about organized groups or movements.

    Ok, so the FBI said something about white supremacists, so that means we should be seeing lots of terrorist activity and high body counts from them, but we don't. What we do see are the fanatical left rioting, looting, burning, assaulting and murdering people on a daily basis. Heck, even the left's environmental groups are violent.

    And here come the little classification tricks they use to explain away the damage done by leftist lunatics.

    Left wing violence doesn't count, because they're disorganized chickens running around with their heads cut off.

    "Antifa isn't an organization, it's an idea."

    Stupid, stupid tricks.
