This is pretty simple to me and a reflection of the system that was put into place here. Either people like something and upvote it or they don't and it never rises. But regardless of how you feel about what others should or should not talk about, this is not the place to tell others what they are allowed to discuss or like.
You personally may not like the recent discussion about Black Rifle Coffee but it is very apparent that somebody does, a lot of people actually. So if you are going to make a post telling other people what they can and can not discuss, are you sure you are in the right place? Because this feels very similar to what we left behind over at Reddit.
No one is telling anyone that, but it actually has rules in the sidebar. You can talk about some irrelevant coffee company, the rest of us will talk about saving the Republic - they are all just suggestions. Some of us are not satisfied with a simple upvote and must voice our opinions as free Americans with the right to free speech
the problem is that its just coming off as whiny, selfish and actually fascist.
That’s another thing about this situation. Having a different opinion is being equated with being less committed to the cause. These people’s inner Stalin is coming out.

Great argument, that is exactly how arguments and discussion work.
yeah I personally am not attacking him, merely defending our right to discuss things as free Americans under our constitutional right to free speech. I'm a freedom of speech advocate, and as such I will continue express my thoughts about others attempting to restrict another American's speech regardless of the subject matter or people involved.
so then wouldn't you agree that we are constitutionally protected to disagree?
