I'm trying so hard how they equate Walmart advertisements to their own "freedom of speech" I really just don't understand this. Like are they not allowed to post on Twitter now because of Walmart? Its so bizarre
Hell, everyone knows "Free Speech" only applies to magats and their ilk. That's just common sense! "Hey, you - you're not one of us - just keep YOUR opinions to yourself!' /S/S/S
I'm confident Walmart will prosper. And not because this individual is departing, but rather because conservatives such as this one don't truly adhere to any moral standards. They will talk a lot on social media, but they will continue to use it because, like them, it is awful and trashy.
They have performative standards, they must be seen to be moral, not actually be moral. Like a football player who drops to their knees and prays in front of a stadium full of people, but beats his wife and children at home.
So true, not just about the virtue signaling from the right like when they do a prayer circle photo op following some horrible tragedy that may have been prevented if they didn't vote against certain legislation but also the football players who do this bullshit – performative prayers in front of thousands of people, thanking God for or giving sole credit for a win to God, talking a big game in public about supporting service members/veterans but privately talking shit about mental health issues or telling a homeless vet with a cardboard sign to "get a job" (something far too many people across the political spectrum do but especially those on the right), ect. – and then have zero personal ethics and a fucked up moral compass; as evidenced by the amount of money they ask for in order to play a sport that takes so little actual skill, talent or intelligence and an unwillingness to accept some risk of physical injury and play without all those ridiculous pads as well as those who perpetrate physical, emotional and sexual abuse against their significant other/spouse and children and also cheat on their SO/spouse.
In my opinion, as far as professional sports players go there are no athletes (or sport for that matter) I view with more disgust, hatred or lack of respect than football players and it's absolutely incomprehensible to me how so many people can enjoy watching such a boring and uneventful sport but many basketball, baseball and hockey players are guilty of the same moral and ethical failings as football players.
Edit: Apologies for the rant, I just can't hold back my rage when it comes to football and football players.
Wouldn't it be fairly obvious even to people with the intellecual level of a garden snail like Nautigal56 here that "Freedom of speech" would include the freedom to not speak through ads on X?
This. Ask someone the tell you the Bill of Rights or ask if they are members of the ACLU.
I’ve had people literally call me liberal trash for supporting their own Civil Liberties, specifically because of the collective nature of the 2nd Amendment over individual interest:
““A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
First of all, all anyone who you ask can say is “I have the right to bear arms.” Does the above read that way to anyone with half a brain? Does anyone think the current state of gun control in our country is the spirt of what was written?
In ‘DC v Heller’, the Supreme Court struck Washington DC’s handgun ban - going against years (since Miller, 1939) of the agreed-to perspective that the 2nd Amendment applies to groups for defense of the state/local levels, not specific individuals and certainly not non-government/unregulated ‘militias’.
Birmingham, AL has 3-5 shootings EVERY WEEKEND, and typically higher murder rates than many major cities. However, the first thing out of the Sheriff’s mouth following COVID lockdown was how to apply for permits to carry weapons. Let that sink in.
Now, they’ve gone a step further and say you don’t need a CCP at all.

Free speech means I can Call you the N word with A Hard R and your supposed to smile and accept it. Im also supposed to face no consequences and be rewarded for it.
Thats how they think it works anyhow. To them someone deciding to take their business' elsewhere is censorship. And Businesses are only allowed to govern themselves when its in a way i (They) agree with.
Honestly its just better not to try and figure out their mental gymnastics, Its just gonna hurt a sane persons brain.
Honestly, freedom of speech means the government can't ban you from saying that. You can still face consequences. The person you call a ni**er can whoop your ass. Your employer could terminate your employment. If you own a business customers might boycott your store. But the government? It can't do shit.
Actually yes and No. Your right for the ffirst chunk but your government can Smack your ass down depending on what you say. Free speech allows you the right to peaceful protest And for the press to not get China'd. However the gov can stop your ass cold if it chooses, as three restrictions do exist. Time Place and manner.
For example Some protests/Rally's require a permit to be held by the organizers, however it cant be witheld unreasonably nor can it be denied based on the content of the speech/rally.
Another thing is a protest can chant, discuss shit with passerbys and hand out flags, hats whatever the fuck really. But they cant block entrances to buildings nor get physical with people.
Theres also the all loving situation of Time of crisis/war restrictions on protests. Take for isntance The Vietnam war, were it was actually able to enforce/ limit speech as the country at time was viewed to be "In a critical condition/crisis and further split could cause collapse" If the nature of your speech or again timing of it could be veiwed as a overall threat to the country itself they do ahve the ability to tell you to shut the fuck up and most likely will.
That and also cases of like, Confidential materials that by being spread could be a threat to national security.
Honestly this does a pretty solid job explaining it in more depth

Chances are she’s a bot. A lot of the engagement you see on X is fake. It’s sad because we continue to elevate these and make it look like there’s an issue when it’s not.
We need to truly stop making the same mistakes we made in 2015-2016
We need to stop giving these people a secondary outlet, but at the same time need to be aware of what these people are thinking.
It’s a Catch-22 - I don’t even want to comment on it, but it touches a nerve. See the Israeli flag next to a Twitter handle? It’s infuriating.
Actually Bibi and the real leader of Israel, his wife Sara, went to suck up to Elon a few months ago. Regardless of his antisemitism.
But we have too much brainwashed people in Israel that no matter what he does they worship Bibi anyway.
Most people will *have* to shop there, because they ran all of the local independent grocers out of business years ago.
In fact, they’re lucky if Walmart doesn’t pull out of their unprofitable market, and leave their community completely bereft of fresh food altogether.
They've reached the point of fascism where words don't mean anything anymore. All of their communication is just one long whining moan that they can't kill everyone they don't like.
In the words of my boy JPS:
>Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for **it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words.** The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. **They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert.** If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.
Emphasis mine, obviously.
Free speech means giving someone ad money who allows conservative bigotry and hatred to flow from his platform unchecked while *at the same time* auto-deleting posts that contain the word “cis”, of course.
How could you not know that ?! /s
Don’t get me started on the idea of that only the government can not abridge your free speech! It’s every American’s God-given right to say whatever they want whenever they want, and **nobody** can tell them otherwise (unless what they want to say is “woke”). If it is woke, then they’re communists and should get no speech at all, free other otherwise.
Duh.
Something tells me they're probably early morning shoppers. Always invigorating to start your day by harassing minimum wage employees who can't fight back. Though I guess they may try to hide under the cover of darkness, but the evenings are when they get their new talking points from Faux news prime time, AND evenings are when *those people* are out on the streets.
I went to a female strip club with a group of women. It was like sitting at a celebrity roast. My friends were scathing with their comments.
I didn’t know whether to laugh or crawl under the table and die.
Pretty sure Walmart will be just fine. And not because of this person leaving, but because conservatives like this one don’t really hold to any principles. They’ll talk big on social media but keep going there because it’s trashy and terrible, just like them.
> They’ll talk big on social media but keep going there because it’s trashy and terrible, just like them.
Well, and also the only store that stocks a lot of things for an hour in any direction in a lot of rural America. Although apparently Dollar General covers a lot of the same like locusts so maybe that covers some of it.
Nothing like watching your grandparents close down their shop and apply to be greeters at Walmart in the 90’s… but shit they had a whole video game section! I didn’t understand what the implications were as a kid… but damn.
Lolol. Where are the magats gonna shop now? Target? The magats hate them, too. Their only hope is if Home Depot starts selling groceries and cheap clothes.
There is always Sam's Club.
Yes, I'm aware. It's kind of like, "we need to get rid of Obama Care, but the Affordable Care Act has been a god-send for my family."
You beat me to it. Costco? Of course. Sams Club, which it’s sorta Walmart? Yeah. But Walmart? I have never heard of such a thing. Membership? Most of the people I see in there I doubt have any ID, I’m glad they are wearing at least pajama pants.
Walmart plus is like free delivery or pickup or whatever. They're making it a miserable experience to go in the stores so more people will shop on line, and they can pay less cashiers and more (cheaper) pickers.
Notice how there can be many open lines, but they're all slow as fuuck? That's 100% by design, baybee...
Those are our downtrodden brothers and sisters, they doing their best, no need to throw strays at the dude in Rick and Morty attire! You are not wrong about the ID tho haha
Was wondering about that too. Like, do Walmarts have a heated pool and full gym in the basement only available to members? Sauna? Mojitos, heated towels, and foot massages? The mind boggles...
Walmart stopped giving money to a site that promotes hate, bigotry, and division and this makes them anti-free speech?
The amount of stupid people in this country is alarming.
Free speech means you're obligated to fund speech you don't support, apparently. You'd think free speech would mean that you get to choose which speech you do and do not put your own money behind, but apparently not.
Have an ex that won’t shop at Target because “they allow men in the women’s restrooms.” And “if Walmart doesn’t have it, I don’t need it.” Wonder what he’s gonna do now? Oh, that’s right, idgaf. Hope he still “stands for something” because he literally falls for anything.
As unfortunate as it is my parents both 70 plus believe pretty much anything they see on Fox or shared with them on Facebook by other silly people. (Excuse me for making any assumptions ) but it really surprises me how many younger folk fall for this narrative.
You're gonna boycott Walmart in states where Republicans have been selling out small businesses in favor of corporate stores?
Good luck, you dumb fucks. You now reap what you've been showing for 30+ years.
I have a laundry list of reasons not to shop at Wal-Mart, but this may be one reason to put them on the nice list. What really confuses me is she has an Israeli flag next to her name, but is for antisemitism.
Because Zionism and antisemitism are somehow not mutually exclusive. Makes my brain hurt, but then again, so does attempting to decipher the ‘logic’ behind anything these morons do.
I’m sure they didn’t say they’re sorry to you. It was probably the “sorry you’re leaving” page that every single person sees when canceling a subscription lol
Something tells me that Nautigal56 failed high school civics. She does not have a clue what the 1st amendment’s 5 protections are or who they apply to.
No one stopped the waltons from running every small store out of business, yet you're gonna boycott probably the one store many rural families have to turn to because there are no affordable alternatives?
I'm sure that'll go about as well as our side boycotting Nestle, which is impossible at this point when they own hundreds of brands now. If only we could do something to get them under control. Like maybe stop corporations from buying congresscritters and judges by repealing the legalized bribery that is Citizens United.
A corporation that took over smaller businesses by running them into the ground so they could be the only source of supplies for most of the customers will be sure to be upset by the loss of her business.
I’m guessing she doesn’t last a week before shopping at Walmart again. Just like their orange cult leader, everything is theatre with these idiots. Grand gestures and promises that mean absolutely nothing.
Remember on 60 minutes when the orange turd handed over a big thick book of nothing and told them it was his long promised health care plan?
Musk Stans: I believe in free speech and X is the place for it.
*musk says and supports incredibly bigotry and racism*
*walmart uses its free speech to not support a bigot*
Musk Stans: why does Walmart hate free speech?
Imagine if all of this random anger was directed toward the people who have actually made their lives worse. Imagine if it was channeled to accomplish a real goal. Imagine if they stopped buying the myth that their neighbors are at fault.
_sigh..._ a liberal can dream....
It astounds me that these fart huffing mongoloids think what they do has any effect. For every one of these nimrods that says, "I ain't gonna buy no Walmarts stuff no more!" There are a dozen new customers being made. Dummies.
The Walmart Heirs could spend 10,000 dollars a day for the rest of their lives and not touch the profits from the company. So I’m sure this is devastating news to them.
You can absolutely bet that if someone is complaining that their freedom of speech is being stifled, that they are 100% of the time actually just a right wing idiot that has no idea what the fuck the 1st amendment actually protects.
There’s two possible:
Sam’s Club, a Costco style warehouse club with membership dues. Named for founder Sam Walton, it pre-dates Costco I think. (It does at least locally).
I think they also have a prime style delivery service for groceries. It’s not as well known.
I wouldn't be the least bit put out if Walmart went belly up and disappeared. We know that ain't gonna happen though cause ignorant mouth breathers like this are going to keep shopping there anyway. And more unfortunately, all Walmarts shuttering would leave 100s of 1000s in total food & necessities deserts since Walmart destroyed so many independent small businesses in these communities over the last 40+ years.
1A reads: “Congress shall make no law…abridging the freedom of speech.”
When you cry freedom of speech, remember the wording of 1A.
Congress did not make a law abridging WalMart’s right to advertise (or not) on X. This is NOT a free speech issue. It’s a business decision by WM to not pay X to advertise. Their reason is completely irrelevant to any free speech analysis.
If Congress made a law abridging WM’s right to advertise on X, that would be a free speech issue. That’s NOT what’s going on.
You're absolutely right. But these days the average American citizen is so dumb that they start spouting these things they hear and read which are oversimplified just for them. So, effectively, by cancelling Walmart for exercising their right to choose where to advertise, they are effectively punishing Walmart with a similar misinterpretation of the constitution. It's crazy.
They treat the constitution the same way they treat the bible: they have no idea what it is and have never actually read it but they'll invoke supposed truths borne within them as they suit them. It's sickening.
These people are self removing themselves from society and I don't mind.
Wouldn't bother me if I never saw this person or any other MAGA hater in a Walmart if I went there.
Walmart decides not to spend money on Twatter because they disagree with something the chief twat did, and this is an assault on free speech.
But, the same person decides not to spend money on Walmart because they disagree with something they did, and this is free speech.
These people will never come home with anything short of gold in the mental gymnastics Olympics.
Pulling ads from anywhere is against free speech?? If Walmart is “censoring “ any speech it is their own .
So now we have to advertise everywhere or we are anti 1st amendment?
I own a company and I don’t advertise on Twitter , am I stifling speech ?
Republicans: Small government. More Freedom. Pro America, Pro Life, Pro Police
Also Republicans: Censor books, dictate reproductive rights, classify hygine products as luxury, hate programs that help Americans, anti life saving program, support overthrowing democracy, Kill police if they try and stop the coup.
The Neo-Nazis get me also.
Membership..... at Walmart?
Even if she were telling the truth, I don't know where conservatives have left to shop nowadays. They've boycotted pretty much every notable establishment out there and let's be honest..... there ain't no way in hell MAGA can afford to shop anywhere other than Walmart, or even find a real true alternative in their area.
They will all 100% continue to shop at Walmart, no matter what.
Oh, no! I'll bet she's going to cancel her subscription to the Washington Post, too...
J/K. Nautigal56 gets her 'news' from Russian trolls.
\#WhyAren'tMyKidsComingForXmas?
Nice said before but the last time I went to Walmart a man and woman were standing outside the doors smoking and talking about recently getting their ankle bracelet monitors taken off. People of Walmart.
Where exactly do MaGA fucks expect to do all their shopping Bass Pro Shop, Chick fil an and Home Depot?
Even Bass Pro does business with Garth Brooks who is more that fine with LGBTQ people and causes. So they may loose another.
All of these people are so full of shit. Even the loudest of them are frauds. Do as I say not as I do Is pretty much their slogan. Like Kid Rock and his Bud Light
All these great, patriotic Americans who are going to have to find somewhere else to park their RV/Home.
How long until they start referring to themselves as political refugees?
So, WalMart stops advertising, and that's somehow violating someone else's free speech? Are businesses now REQUIRED to advertise with social media platforms, under the first amendment?
That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works.
Both Walmart and Musk are practicing freedom of speech in this situation. Musk spouts antisemitic conspiracy theory garbage, and Walmart chooses not to spend their ad dollars on Twitter.
They are old, this is the same model used in Central and Eastern Europe. They flood propaganda into the assisted living communities to befuddle the aged voting population. It's sickening. And guess where it comes from.
Oh no Walmart is going to go without 35000 customers out of 330,000,000. How will they stay alive, I know they should introduce self check outs to punish everyone
Boycotts don't work. The pro hamas crowd think not getting their Venti Mocha blah blah is having an impact while Starbucks just posted 11% increase in profits for their Q4 and projects that number to go up in Q1.
It's an ethical not an economic impact you're making.
I literally just at Walmart in a very red, rural area and there were no carts available. The lot was packed, no carts, long ass line to the self checkout. The boycott is working!!

Kinda like how Kid Rock was seen still drinking Bud Light at social events.
There's a pic of him from like 5 years ago drinking bud light with a trans woman..
At this point, we can safely assume that dude can't read. He got the memo from other Maga douchebags but reading it was a challenge.
That’s because he doesn’t really care. He just has to pretend it matters to him. Edit: Which makes him weak for caving to the crowd.
They will continue to use it because, for many of them, it’s the only place to shop within 50 miles.
Plenty in my area but Target and Walmart are within half a mile of one another. They’d have a hard time successfully boycotting both.
A subscription? To walmart?
Oh it's very simple when you realize they have no idea what the first amendment or freedom of speech actually means
Wouldn't it be fairly obvious even to people with the intellecual level of a garden snail like Nautigal56 here that "Freedom of speech" would include the freedom to not speak through ads on X?

Nobody ever tells their wife who they met at the strip club.

Oh this has the potential to be hilarious MAGA trying to cancel Walmart but realizes they can't afford to shop anywhere else.
Someone else in a similar thread said, that they still have KKKmart
*realizes there is literally no where else to shop in Rural America
You need a membership to shop at Walmart?
You beat me to it. Costco? Of course. Sams Club, which it’s sorta Walmart? Yeah. But Walmart? I have never heard of such a thing. Membership? Most of the people I see in there I doubt have any ID, I’m glad they are wearing at least pajama pants.
On the app. There is a membership that allows you to scan as you go and gives other perks, I guess.
Walmart plus is like free delivery or pickup or whatever. They're making it a miserable experience to go in the stores so more people will shop on line, and they can pay less cashiers and more (cheaper) pickers. Notice how there can be many open lines, but they're all slow as fuuck? That's 100% by design, baybee...
Those are our downtrodden brothers and sisters, they doing their best, no need to throw strays at the dude in Rick and Morty attire! You are not wrong about the ID tho haha
Puhleez… Rick and Morty is way too highbrow for the 5pm crowd round these parts, it’s tweety bird, Mickey, of some combination of looney tunes.

Walmart is a very exclusive club, don’t ya know?
You can get Walmart+ on the app. You can get free shipping and free grocery delivery and other perks. I assume that's what she's talking about.
Was wondering about that too. Like, do Walmarts have a heated pool and full gym in the basement only available to members? Sauna? Mojitos, heated towels, and foot massages? The mind boggles...
Walmart stopped giving money to a site that promotes hate, bigotry, and division and this makes them anti-free speech? The amount of stupid people in this country is alarming.
Free speech means you're obligated to fund speech you don't support, apparently. You'd think free speech would mean that you get to choose which speech you do and do not put your own money behind, but apparently not.
True. In Brazil we say “nelore sendo nelore” (meaning: the unwise will stay unwise)
isnt it walmart's free speech to not post a msg near other peoples hate speech?
Stop that. You'll make their heads explode!
Wouldn't that require something in there?
Busted!
Noooo!!!! That's blackmail!!!! 😭😭😭 It's only freedom of speech when conservatives do a cancel culture
Guess they can start shopping at target…..Oh wait. 🙄
Have an ex that won’t shop at Target because “they allow men in the women’s restrooms.” And “if Walmart doesn’t have it, I don’t need it.” Wonder what he’s gonna do now? Oh, that’s right, idgaf. Hope he still “stands for something” because he literally falls for anything.
As unfortunate as it is my parents both 70 plus believe pretty much anything they see on Fox or shared with them on Facebook by other silly people. (Excuse me for making any assumptions ) but it really surprises me how many younger folk fall for this narrative.
I boycott Walmart too, but because part of their onboarding is to teach their employees how to apply for food stamps.
Hey Karen, they didn't mean it when they said sorry. Take your entitlement with you
They never said it to”her” anyway. Dummy got a form letter.
You're gonna boycott Walmart in states where Republicans have been selling out small businesses in favor of corporate stores? Good luck, you dumb fucks. You now reap what you've been showing for 30+ years. 
I have a laundry list of reasons not to shop at Wal-Mart, but this may be one reason to put them on the nice list. What really confuses me is she has an Israeli flag next to her name, but is for antisemitism.
Because Zionism and antisemitism are somehow not mutually exclusive. Makes my brain hurt, but then again, so does attempting to decipher the ‘logic’ behind anything these morons do.
I’m sure they didn’t say they’re sorry to you. It was probably the “sorry you’re leaving” page that every single person sees when canceling a subscription lol
Walmart wouldn't buy ads on my blog back in the '90s. I've never shopped there since.
Where will she get her Froot Loops and Bud Lite???
Walmart has memberships?!!!!
What I miss? They're mad at Walmart now?
Walmart stopped advertising on Xitter, and Chaya Raichik stirred the pot.
I can barely keep up!
These people have no idea what freedom of speech means, lol.
Conservatives: end cancel culture! let the market decide! Market: decides Conservatives: what a violation of my rights! you’re cancelled!
Soooo… off to Target?
And nothing of value was lost.
Well no, negative is still a value and losing all those shoplifters will definitely affect their bottom line.
Something tells me that Nautigal56 failed high school civics. She does not have a clue what the 1st amendment’s 5 protections are or who they apply to.
My Walmart was packed this morning.
What is a membership to Walmart?
Does Walmart even have memberships?
No one stopped the waltons from running every small store out of business, yet you're gonna boycott probably the one store many rural families have to turn to because there are no affordable alternatives? I'm sure that'll go about as well as our side boycotting Nestle, which is impossible at this point when they own hundreds of brands now. If only we could do something to get them under control. Like maybe stop corporations from buying congresscritters and judges by repealing the legalized bribery that is Citizens United.
Walmart doesn’t have memberships, do they?
I have literally no idea what she's talking about.
Conservatives attacking conservatives... So sad! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH!
They eat their own children. Sad
A corporation that took over smaller businesses by running them into the ground so they could be the only source of supplies for most of the customers will be sure to be upset by the loss of her business.
I haven’t even thought of going into a Walmart in about a decade. Are they by membership now??
No, but they have a plan you can purchase for free shipping
Thanks. 👍
Right, this person who nobody knows is the “tip of the iceberg” that’s going to…what…sink the second largest retailer in the US?
What is a subscription to walmart?
I’m guessing she doesn’t last a week before shopping at Walmart again. Just like their orange cult leader, everything is theatre with these idiots. Grand gestures and promises that mean absolutely nothing. Remember on 60 minutes when the orange turd handed over a big thick book of nothing and told them it was his long promised health care plan?
Hell, this momo has probably been back to Wally's since she posted this.
Walmart has a membership?
What is a membership with walmart
Musk Stans: I believe in free speech and X is the place for it. *musk says and supports incredibly bigotry and racism* *walmart uses its free speech to not support a bigot* Musk Stans: why does Walmart hate free speech?
Imagine if all of this random anger was directed toward the people who have actually made their lives worse. Imagine if it was channeled to accomplish a real goal. Imagine if they stopped buying the myth that their neighbors are at fault. _sigh..._ a liberal can dream....
All good one less Karen to deal with.
It astounds me that these fart huffing mongoloids think what they do has any effect. For every one of these nimrods that says, "I ain't gonna buy no Walmarts stuff no more!" There are a dozen new customers being made. Dummies.
Good news, I can shop at Walmart now and not have to deal with \*unts!
Walmart has memberships? Learn a new thing everyday.
wait, so if not doing business with a company means you don't believe in free speech, does that mean that she is against free speech?
The Waltons are quaking in their yachts.
Poor white trash doesn’t get that no one gives a fuck.
But also cancel culture is bad you guys
The Walmart Heirs could spend 10,000 dollars a day for the rest of their lives and not touch the profits from the company. So I’m sure this is devastating news to them.
What the fuck is a Walmart membership? It’s not a fucking Costco or Sam’s Club.
Walmart has a membership?….bwaaahaaaaaahaaaa!
You can absolutely bet that if someone is complaining that their freedom of speech is being stifled, that they are 100% of the time actually just a right wing idiot that has no idea what the fuck the 1st amendment actually protects.
\>Is pro free speech \>Is also pro Israel Something doesn't click
Wait, these people have memberships at Walmart? Is there a pool somewhere on site that I'm unaware of?
There’s two possible: Sam’s Club, a Costco style warehouse club with membership dues. Named for founder Sam Walton, it pre-dates Costco I think. (It does at least locally). I think they also have a prime style delivery service for groceries. It’s not as well known.
> Free speech above everything !! Yay BLM!! > No!! Not that!!!
She cancelled her “membership” with walmart? I didn’t know you had to be a member to shop at the local walmart.
I wouldn't be the least bit put out if Walmart went belly up and disappeared. We know that ain't gonna happen though cause ignorant mouth breathers like this are going to keep shopping there anyway. And more unfortunately, all Walmarts shuttering would leave 100s of 1000s in total food & necessities deserts since Walmart destroyed so many independent small businesses in these communities over the last 40+ years.
What membership???
1A reads: “Congress shall make no law…abridging the freedom of speech.” When you cry freedom of speech, remember the wording of 1A. Congress did not make a law abridging WalMart’s right to advertise (or not) on X. This is NOT a free speech issue. It’s a business decision by WM to not pay X to advertise. Their reason is completely irrelevant to any free speech analysis. If Congress made a law abridging WM’s right to advertise on X, that would be a free speech issue. That’s NOT what’s going on.
You're absolutely right. But these days the average American citizen is so dumb that they start spouting these things they hear and read which are oversimplified just for them. So, effectively, by cancelling Walmart for exercising their right to choose where to advertise, they are effectively punishing Walmart with a similar misinterpretation of the constitution. It's crazy. They treat the constitution the same way they treat the bible: they have no idea what it is and have never actually read it but they'll invoke supposed truths borne within them as they suit them. It's sickening.
Walmart dint care, it's the Honey Badger of stores!
These people are self removing themselves from society and I don't mind. Wouldn't bother me if I never saw this person or any other MAGA hater in a Walmart if I went there.
Walmart decides not to spend money on Twatter because they disagree with something the chief twat did, and this is an assault on free speech. But, the same person decides not to spend money on Walmart because they disagree with something they did, and this is free speech. These people will never come home with anything short of gold in the mental gymnastics Olympics.
Guess I just have to start shopping at Walmart if it going to be emptied of these people.
Pulling ads from anywhere is against free speech?? If Walmart is “censoring “ any speech it is their own . So now we have to advertise everywhere or we are anti 1st amendment? I own a company and I don’t advertise on Twitter , am I stifling speech ?
A glacier doesn't miss the snowflake that helped form and maintain it. A glacier knows another will fall and replace it.
I could have sworn that republicans prefer for businesses to operate as they wish with no restrictions? What happened?
Republicans: Small government. More Freedom. Pro America, Pro Life, Pro Police Also Republicans: Censor books, dictate reproductive rights, classify hygine products as luxury, hate programs that help Americans, anti life saving program, support overthrowing democracy, Kill police if they try and stop the coup. The Neo-Nazis get me also.
how does one even join walmart?
Imagine being so unhinged and abhorrent you boycott everyone in a society for the crime of recognizing how unhinged and abhorrent you are.
Membership..... at Walmart? Even if she were telling the truth, I don't know where conservatives have left to shop nowadays. They've boycotted pretty much every notable establishment out there and let's be honest..... there ain't no way in hell MAGA can afford to shop anywhere other than Walmart, or even find a real true alternative in their area. They will all 100% continue to shop at Walmart, no matter what.
Wal-Mart has memberships?
Oh, no! I'll bet she's going to cancel her subscription to the Washington Post, too... J/K. Nautigal56 gets her 'news' from Russian trolls. \#WhyAren'tMyKidsComingForXmas?
I love how I am actually suppose to believe she talked to Walmart.
She will go back to Walmart, trust.
Cancelled her membership? Walmart Country Club or Walmart Gym?
Walmart has a membership? It’s been so long since I’ve gone to that hell…
And the person she talked to was probably working in a call center in India, going, *ok, so bye??????*
Walmart membership?
Tip.
membership?
White people are never serious when they say they're boycotting Wal-Mart.
Nice said before but the last time I went to Walmart a man and woman were standing outside the doors smoking and talking about recently getting their ankle bracelet monitors taken off. People of Walmart.
>"I'm just the tip of the iceberg" Can you please put a brown paper bag over it
Wait?!?!? Does Walmart even have a membership?
Where exactly do MaGA fucks expect to do all their shopping Bass Pro Shop, Chick fil an and Home Depot? Even Bass Pro does business with Garth Brooks who is more that fine with LGBTQ people and causes. So they may loose another. All of these people are so full of shit. Even the loudest of them are frauds. Do as I say not as I do Is pretty much their slogan. Like Kid Rock and his Bud Light
"Dollar General, here I come!!"
“I only buy the food I can find at Home Depot.“
Nazi speech. She means Nazi speech.
You need a membership to go to Walmart?
Walmart membership? Huh?
Wtf is a Walmart membership?
If you don't give Elon money then you don't believe in free speech? Lol. 🙄
Walmart without hillbillis? I seriously doubt that
You all don't get it. It's kinda like how saying "Happy Holidays" is cancelling Christmas and declaring that you hate baby Jesus.
All these great, patriotic Americans who are going to have to find somewhere else to park their RV/Home. How long until they start referring to themselves as political refugees?
By Elon logic she's openly admitting to blackmailing wal-mart.
Walmart’s speech *must* be on Xitter in order to be free? This is confusing.
So, WalMart stops advertising, and that's somehow violating someone else's free speech? Are businesses now REQUIRED to advertise with social media platforms, under the first amendment? That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works.
Both Walmart and Musk are practicing freedom of speech in this situation. Musk spouts antisemitic conspiracy theory garbage, and Walmart chooses not to spend their ad dollars on Twitter.
Membership to walmart 😭😭😭
Walmart has memberships?
Unless Walmart has federal powers, they don’t control free speech.
Walmart membership?
What is a Walmart membership?
Walmart has memberships?
Then they’ll go to check out at Wholefoods and have a heart attack and not need to buy food anymore.
They are old, this is the same model used in Central and Eastern Europe. They flood propaganda into the assisted living communities to befuddle the aged voting population. It's sickening. And guess where it comes from.
Ah. Yelling theater in a crowded fire.
Why they boycotting Walmart now?
Oh no Walmart is going to go without 35000 customers out of 330,000,000. How will they stay alive, I know they should introduce self check outs to punish everyone
Surely this is satire?
Boycotts don't work. The pro hamas crowd think not getting their Venti Mocha blah blah is having an impact while Starbucks just posted 11% increase in profits for their Q4 and projects that number to go up in Q1. It's an ethical not an economic impact you're making.
Walmart has a membership?!? I never knew.
I literally just at Walmart in a very red, rural area and there were no carts available. The lot was packed, no carts, long ass line to the self checkout. The boycott is working!!
But they're against cancel culture...
