Ok, and? Why does this guy deserve a platform? He has a right to speak but he doesn't have a right to a megaphone. Why don't conservatives get this? You're not entitled to someone else's site or service. Just as I can kick someone out of my house for saying something I don't like you can get kicked off a website for the same reason. The first amendment protects you from the government and violence not people telling you to shut up

What are you on about? Sam Harris dropped Patreon because he believes in free speech, which this clearly is against. That's his protest and he's free to do it, why do you have an issue with it? They're free to do as they will I have no problem with a private company doing as such, even if it is the definition of being a fascist which nutty leftist love using willy nilly. 

Hypocrites of the highest order, scream about discrimination when that one baker refused to bake a cake for a gay wedding but have no problem when discrimination of political views comes into the focus, well make your mind up on what you believe or do you just set the goal post when it suits your beliefs?

Patreon cancelling accounts has nothing to do with free speech, it has to do with them delivering a service or not. Harris excersice his free speech when he spoke out about something he disagreed on, or are you claiming that he used free speech when he cancelled an account? 🙂

 

The difference between cancelling an account because of political beliefs and refusing service because of sexual orientation is that, as far as u know, the baker hadn't signed an agreement with the customer with terms of service? Also, one of those two examples is not a choice as far as we know, that is why people react harder when you discriminate because of sexual orientation.
