This is a terrifying article, to me. Read the whole story of how this man's business was destroyed in a week's time. And how guilty he feels about that, or feels he must feign to feel, but I don't accuse him of insincerity. Unlike his employees and customers.

It's a fairly well written piece, a little jumbled at the beginning, but it gets clearer, written even-handedley to the participants I would say.

Some will chortle and say the Left are eating themselves. Which they are, and quite frankly that is always a horrible thing to see. But if you think they'll stop before they get to us, you are wrong.

Something must be done. We must figure out what that is. I haven't seen a good idea yet, sorry to say it.

This man was a big lefty, I suppose. But he was a well intentioned person. Like the poor random woman who went as Megyn Kelly in blackface to a freaking costume party. So, she was trying to be funny, or silly, or, dare I say it, shocking & transgressive, none of which are crimes.

But she, and this guy, and so many other well intentioned people are having their lives ruined because, why? Why, exactly, is this happening?

Stay out of politics if you are a business.

Never apologize.

Fight to stay open.

I feel it’s best not to weigh in on these heated social matters at all. Just focus on being a good yoga place. 🙄

Leftism is about control over others through fear and intimidation. It’s about power. Terrorize enough people and most will just submit.

Why, exactly, is this happening?

Generation Ritalin and Adderall all grown up. Real life shockingly not like video games. Mental hospitals shuttered in the '70s and '80s by liberal activists out of "compassion." Old hippies reliving their youth, and their indoctrinated children and grandchildren coming along for the ride. Hillary lost and gave us all a sad. Everything everywhere unfair because racism or something.

Oh yes, and Orange Man Bad. Real bad or something.

Just as I suspected. This was a mere business competitor assassination. The two teachers at his studio making the complaints opened their own virtual yoga studios during Covid lockdowns. This was nothing but a cold-blooded move to get customers from the studio over to their businesses.

It sounds like he constantly was trying to ride the ever-changing wave of leftist political correctness. The only lesson is - don’t try, because it will eventually swallow you.

they have created a political situation, supported by our government, where their entitlement and rage can only be avoided - or directly opposed.

Then comes the shooting.

Seems like two of the instructors wanted to start their own biz on the corpse of Kindness.

It also shows that no amount of groveling or appeasement is enough.

Basic management would tell every business to get rid of bad apples immediately. The two trouble makers undoubtedly spread ill will and discontent among their colleagues and clients for some time. Especially if they are both starting new businesses now. Those are not spontaneous decisions. Dastardly tactic to get rid of the business you work for to prime the market for two new replacements.

I highly doubt either of these two malcontents will find any success as sole proprietors in any field. I’d avoid their businesses at all costs. I don’t practice yoga anyway.

This seems to be happening across the western world and the only way to stop it is by forcefully standing up to it. I believe once people start pushing back, others will support and follow suit. At least, I hope so.

He didn’t fight back. The DNC terrorists sense weakness and pounce.

“This man was a big lefty, I suppose. But he was a well intentioned person.”

That’s sick.

Thank you for posting this.

I’m halfway thru the article now. People need to read this: no matter what this lib leftie owner did all he got in return was a buzzer sound of WRONG ANSWER.

And the gall of that one now former employee to solicit donations on Twitter for “Reparations.”

We would have thought this article was satire not too long ago...

I think I see the problem.

I sympathize with anyone losing his lively hood.

But, it’s yoga. The target audience is all about feelz. In the current climate there is no way to out feelz the feelz crowd.

well intentiined

i would say for himself, yes

libtards live their views

so comsider the money he makes goes towards libtard causes we despise and are destroying america

i say let them suffer the fate they’ve desired for all of us

they all thinkthey’re special and exempt from their own ‘rules’ and never think they could be applied to them

the ‘kindness’ and ‘niceness’ of liberals is almost always just a thin veneer over hatred and anger and jealousy, and self-hatred because they know deep down they are sh1tty peoplemwho can’t really do anything others find important enough to pay them well for. insecurity abounds and they take it out on everyone else, blaming society and whatever else for their own failings and shortcomings.

The left has a tendency when unchecked to start eating their own.

It’s kinda like burning the elk sculpture in Portland. It’s not that it’s racist, it’s just that they ran out of racist things to destroy so just moved onto something else that was a sculpture.

Digital burning down of a business is not all that different than burning it in person. ‘My business is destroyed.’ Nope, you have an opportunity to reinvent your business (which you probably needed to do anyway, because, well, COVID.)

Nobody is well-intentioned when they vote for a party that fights for abortions

I’m not a zealot.

Qq But that’s a pretty easy one

It is racketeering the same interstate shakedown that Al Sharpton used to threaten companies with. Pay me protection money and allegiance or I will get the angry mob to destroy your business.

Look at how twitterbots have successfully eliminated major advertisers from sponsoring conservative talk radio. Unusual thing I’ve discovered lately, many of those same sponsors ARE roundabout sponsoring ‘talk radio’ these days via the iheartradio streams online. The advertising is different than the local market advertisers and iheartradio/livenation/clear channel is a billion dollar (in debt) corporation that plays “the game”.
