Bard spotting on Bluesky 25 March 2025

Fischer fails to understand that when one offers to the public an open invitation to treat, or works with the govt. to provide a public service to all (such as by having a license to operate specific businesses), that is a choice of association.

This is Rufoesque "we control the meaning" tactics

Jenny Cohn (@jennycohn.bsky.social):

Nate Fischer—co-founder of New Founding (backed by Tech Bro Marc Andreessen)—complains that the Civil Rights Act "eliminated freedom of association at the private level". His chief of staff says that "meritocracy is a dead end" & that DEI should instead be "succeeded by …freedom of association." 1/

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

You don't get to say "I'm offering baked goods To The Public (not you, gays and blacks)" and premise it on But Whaddabout My Freedom Of Association. It's an attempt to arrogate control of who constitutes The Public by forcing targets out of it.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

The same reasoning is why they (masked-bigotry "originalist" "conservatives") loathe the SCOTUS decision in Wickard v Filburn, which established that Congress has the power to impose regulation on businesses if they impose influence on interstate commerce, even a black-box influence.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Wickard interferes with Paul Weyrich's / Leonard Leo's dream of an insulated, exclusive, private economy just for "the right Americans", separate from the economy left behind for us peasants, impoverished by their extraction of wealth by levy and capture of tax streams
