Disney, Time Warner, the NFL, Microsoft, Google, Coca-Cola and more are all threatening to pull out of Georgia if the religious liberty bill becomes law
This is what it looks like when you're on the wrong side of history. It doesn't matter how bigoted the governor is, he's not going to sign his state's death sentence.

Companies aren't controlling their freedom. Georgia can do whatever it wants. All Disney and Microsoft are saying is that they can do whatever they want, too.
Are you saying big businesses shouldn't have the freedom to stop operating in areas that don't reflect their corporate philosophy?
It's funny watching (((conservatives))) give the world to big corporations, just to have them stab their culture in the back
(((conservatives))) can easily muzzle these progressive globalists by threatening their tax breaks if they don't remain neutral. But they won't.
Hence why nationalism and anti-free trade sentiment is going up.
they are free to do that. they won't, because the costs will be way too high. maybe google will, but how many regular georgians are employed by google, really? Im willing to bet 40 percent are insourced from other parts of the country/globe.
Trust me, as a long time resident, the only people who are pro gay rights are at UGA or in midtown ATL taking it up the ass from Legendary Children.

Georgia's governor is republican, Southern rednecks elected him, the people of Atlanta voted democrat. It would make more sense for him to side with his base and pass the bill and play it off as outsiders trying to pressure them into conforming. It should work, Georgia isn't really in favor of most of those companies, excluding Coke and the NFL.
How many Georgians are employed by Time Warner? Quite a bit I'd imagine with the TBS headquarters right there.
Obviously they're not just going to sell the building and hit the road, but you better believe they can downsize.
>>68777837
That's because all the blacks in Atlanta voted Dem.
I live in GA and thought it was strange that the companies would "boycott" Georgia. Especially the Koch owned Coca Cola.
Kind of interesting how all of a sudden liberals love corporations when they do stuff like this.
>>68776106
that would never happen, post source or kill yourself
>>68777254
Those businesses most likely got GIANT tax breaks and had to pay no property taxes for 10 years in order to move into the state. For them to throw a tantrum over something like this is pure bullshit.
Not to mention people seem to think it's OK for a company to fire a shit ton of people over something the government did, but don't think a business should be able to fire somebody for a certain reason.
>>68776106
Why don't you make companies which are relocating for reasons other than fiduciary responsibility, to pay back all of the tax breaks and benefits they gained?
>>68776106
there should be a law having the company act so against the values of their founders.
>>68777837
Most of what people consider "Atlanta" is actually Metro-Atlanta- the city proper is dwarfed by the people living in the suburbs. These suburban Atlantans are more of a mix of republicans and democrats, with definitely more republicans, but they aren't the same republicans you find south of Macon. Suburban republicans aren't as retarded when it comes to social issues and care more about business staying in Atlanta than they do the non-issue "religious freedom" cooked up by the religious right.
>>68776106
>religious liberty bill
Ok let's take a look. "religious officials shall not be forced to perfom mariage ceremonies against their religion".
"religious officials"
What ? While I completly agree it would be incredibly retarded to force a catholic priest to marry fags, since when "officials" (I'm understanding mayors in this case) can be religious ? Ever heard of the separation of the church and state ? The official doesn't have a religion while he's doing his work, that's basic republic stuff.
So if your local mayor is bitching about doing a ceremony because it offends his religious feelings, he can go fuck himself.
You might agree or not with fag marriage but that's not the issue, it's about people not doing their job. They don't like it ? Change the law, don't bitch about doing your job.
>>68777837
Also,
>Georgia isn't really in favor of most of those companies
How? In what way? This is straight bullshit.
>>68777452
Major corporations can never be trusted. Once companies get that big, the decisions are out of the hands of the people who understand things like principles or loyalty. It's all numbers to them, and they're going to make moves based on what their numbers people tell them makes for the highest good numbers and the lowest bad numbers.
The GOP is definitely imploding, and Trump getting elected would be one of the last nails in its coffin.
>>68778314
I don't doubt for a second that a lot of this is just pretty words for companies that want to look PC. If push comes to shove, a lot of them won't do a thing. But some might, and it won't take many for Georgia to take over Mississippi's spot as biggest ass-backwards unproductive state in the country.
They're bluffing.
>>68778857

>"Official" isn't a term that is limited to matters of the state
Yes. Yes it is when you put it in a frigging law.
>>68779336
Here's my point of view. Since religious marriage has no value or legal purpose (it's the marriage contract send to your mayor that counts, at least that's how it works in France) there should be no oligations for priests to perform a ceremony marriage since you can't inforce a non-vital service by a law (that would be tyranical). If you believe otherwhise, I will go complain to your government the local mosque refuse to perform a marriage between me and my best bud in his traditionnal ceremony dress made in pig skin.
As for business, it would be the same except some services MIGHT be actual more important than a fancy ceremony. Having restaurants and stores closing their doors because you're a fag is a clear harmful discrimination and should be banned. But forcing them to give a specific kind of service (like the wedding cakes) is morronic and the law should never go in those waters.
>>68777248

I think by the end of the year they're only going to have a minimum presence in the State. Everything getting moved to New York and Washington IIRC.
Just liberal fears. They said everyone would shoot everyone after the "Guns Everywhere" law and what do you know; we're all still here.
M-MUH BREAD AND CIRCUS IS LEAVING
>>68780093
Maybe their image in Georgia. The rest of the country doesn't give a fuck if a bunch of bigots in Georgia have jobs.
>>68780036
I'm fine with these companies moving for whatever reason.
They're giant companies that provide jobs, and decrease a lack of overall community feeling and cohesion.
It's just that the very people who are complaining right now, are the very same who bitch that coke does dietary research, and influences politicians.
It's the exact same thing
>have the Confederate Flag on State Flag for decades

>>68779998
Honestly, this is exactly the kind of issue that continues to make one thing clear: Marriage needs to be privatized.
You want to get married? Go find a priest or shaman or whatever, wear nice clothes, and throw some flowers in the air.
You want joint tax returns, power of attorney, and inheritance from your spouse? Go get a civil contract like the gay couples and everyone else has to.
>>68780005
>The governor is actually an ex-Democrat faggot that is holding back this State. I didn't vote for the son of a bitch.
Speaking of which, said faggot is also threatening to veto the campus carry law, unless he did it already
>>68779729
This is insane, the priest let men and women marry each other, because they want to confirm their marriage before god and the priest is gladly to do so.
If this argument doesn't sway you we go the economic route, the priest sells a service, he can choose whom he wants to sale this service. If people want to marry they can always go to their civil departement to buy a marriage licence there.
also
>wrong side of history
what does this future look like? what is the vision for America in 50 years? you really think a culture can sustain the feminization of society on this scale? what about the unbridled embrace of hedonism and pleasure? a culture consisting almost entirely of cucked sexual losers and degenerate sex fiends?

Because the only purpose of gay marriage is forcing people to accept homosexuality
That has been the sole purpose of the entire gay rights movement ever since they won toleration in the 70s
>>68780505
That's the case in France. Except for 2 or 3 mayors being a bitch about it, it went well and nobody cares anymore.
>>68780451
It's all about forcing normal people to do their will.
If they can compel you to make them a cake, then eventually, they'll force the church to marry them.
I don't care if you get married, the state can recognize whatever, but I don't bust into your house and demand you not have peanuts for dinner, because I'm allergic, so get the fuck out of people's church
>>68780451

>black-owned businesses shut down now that niggers could shop at "da white man's store"
>historically black colleges are struggling because all of the buck niggers are now going to Alabama and other formerly segregated universities.

Not the guy you're replying to, but my family is from Georgia/Alabama and I've lived in Georgia my entire life. This "religious freedom" bill is some made up shit to address an imagined issue. Priests can already refuse to marry whoever they want. The only purpose this serves is to let the guys in the state legislature go back to their constituents come reelection time and say "I tried to protect Jesus guys but that fag lovin' governer up in 'lanner overruled us"
>>68781225
Sure I agree with you there. My point is they landed in Atlanta because they like the laws/prices. If taxes were lower in California they probably would have stayed there. Now they don't like the laws they are getting ready to pack up and go somewhere else. Go ahead and pass the law if you don't want their money. Atlanta isn't special.

I think /pol/ has evolved and doesn't consider free market the ultimate ideal again.
After reading Bertrand de Jouvenel, Jaime Guzmán, Michael Novak and Carlist literature from Spain I realized that the free market is not an end, it's merely a mean towards which civil society can achieve independence. If free market is being used to crush the independence of civil society, as it's being done nowadays by such metacapitalists who have been instrumentalized by the cultural mindset of communists, then the free market must be destroyed by political action.
Unfortunately, the right, not in the United States, not anywhere in the Western world, doesn't have the strenght to pull that. I blame William F. Buckley for purging the John Birch Society from mainstream conservative, but anyway, we are now defenseless against totalitarianism from the left. With the support from both the intellitengtsia and big corporations they can do what they want.
>>68781807
The government needs the power to regulate. Without regulations, we wouldn't have any safety. You have no idea how many regulations we have in place regarding all things from automobiles to electrical installations, without which things would be time bombs. It's the corporations which shouldn't have power to lobby.
>>68781670
Disney was different because they were outsourcing. Time Warner, Coke, etc. are moving else where in the country. Assuming it's zero-sum, it's actually great for other parts of the country that they're leaving Georgia to move to civilized parts of the country.

Either these Corporations are consistent with their policies on an international level, or they're shown to be hypocrites, using this only as a marketing move to further their corporate interests.
>>68781529
This bill would grant anyone in Georgia the freedom to abstain from serving or doing business with others if it would go against their "religious beliefs" to do so, without fear of getting prosecuted for discrimination.
The most common iteration of this is that business owned by Christians, or Christian public servants, could refuse to serve gays based on their religious belief that homosexuality is immoral.
It would also make it illegal for municipalities to pass laws circumventing this freedom.
Companies are opposed to it because they're trying to look progressive and give the impression that they think the ability to refuse people service based on their sexual orientation is discriminatory and should remain illegal.
>>68782010
>The government needs the power to regulate. Without regulations, we wouldn't have any safety.

They will never abandon a market for your feelings. They might move a small number of headquarter jobs, but they do that all the time as soon as they find somewhere cheaper to go. Nothing but an empty threat for a little misguided PR. If they thought the religious community could organize a boycott of their products they would abandon their LBGTwhatevers and swing the other way fast enough to make heads spin.

the free market can only properly work when 2 criteria are met
> the consumers in the market are informed
> the consumers in the market make rational decisions
there are certain areas where a completely free market simply doesn't work because those criteria are not met

oh look someone who read the bill
>>68781461
and then they can freely lose the georgia market too. good for them. i hope they do it.
>>68783564
Are you saying that consumers in Georgia are informed and act rationally?
>>68783737
"areas" is not meant to be taken geographically, it references certain markets in every day life
>>68779729
Speaking as someone in favor of marriage equality, that's complete overreach. Your rights end where someone else's begin, and freedom of religion is pretty basic to the constitution.

Isn't the whole idea that free market is sufficiently large with so many variables that can override these criteria?
>>68783240
>putting tens of thousands of people out of work over a disagreement about fag wedding cakes
>socially responsible
>>68783937
The pressure comes from them employing a lot of Georgians.
>>68783240
If a handful of major companies had threatened to withdraw from Massachusetts in the mid-2000s if they went through with legalized gay marriage, what do you think the average liberal response would be
>>68778853
No, suburban and urban Atlanta is black and poor as fuck.
>>68783964
Then that idea is wrong. Look at the cosmetics industry. It is essentially a free market, but it is dominated by advertisement and the consumers (women) spend a lot of money on useless low quality goods.
>>68776106
>Disney, Time Warner, the NFL, Microsoft, Google, Coca-Cola and more are all threatening to pull out of Georgia if the religious liberty bill becomes law
I wish they'd pull out of Canada too. Georgia should feel blessed
>>68783823
You might want to be more specific. Georgia still seems like a market to me.
>>68783911
Yeah, well, we warned you this was the logical conclusion of gay acceptance. Your side insisted that was a slippery slope fallacy and would never happen, that gay marriage would never effect straight people at all, and yet here we are in this brave new SJW world
>>68780417
>>68780417
Has someone told these people that without it, Priests and Ministers will be threatened and intimidated with violence for not doing things that violate their religious beliefs (something against the First Ammendment)?
>>68784295
Well, sure, Georgia is a market, but I'm talking about certain industries or aspects of life, like immigration, education, etc.
>>68783970
If fag wedding cakes are so inconsequential, then surely the state would value the jobs more and not pass the law?
>>68783970
This. I cant believe liberals think they're job creators.
These fucks cut the entire nation's hours in half and they're proud of it.
>>68776106
Danm good day to be a dawg.

That happens anyway whenever you go against any angry group of people. Welcome to the 21st century.
>>68784329
How is it affecting straight people?
You think baking a cake is going to send you to hell?
>>68783413
Yeah, definitely the easiest way to get hospital visitation rights was to force a redefinition of marriage on the other 98% of the population and not to ask hospitals to loosen their policy
Just like how there was absolutely *no* other way to secure inheritance to your bumchum aside from marriage
And how gays needed tax credits intended to subsidize reproduction
>>68776853
If your "religious freedom" means basing a law that affects everyone regardless of their beliefs and lifestyles on your religion then yes.
Or does pol support shit like shariah law now?
>>68784698
How did the redefinition affect the other 98% of America? Did they change the law from man-woman to ONLY man-man, woman-woman?
>>68784329
I'll concede you were right about this. We are right about that bitch who wouldn't do her government-appointed job of issuing marriage certificates because of her religion.
If your religion interferes with your (taxpayer-funded) job, you are not qualified for that job.
>>68776106
Oh no what ever will Georgia do without all those Jewish owned giant conglomerates?! Free market will fix it, other companies will fill their spot.
>>68784597
If you refuse to participate in a gay weddings, that includes wedding planners, dressmakers being forced to make wedding dresses for men, and in one case the owner of a private farm in new York was fined $200,000 for not hosting a gay wedding on her private property
This is bullshit intended only to pave the way for forcing fag "marriage" into churches, which means ending religious freedom and de facto censorship of the Bible

As a NatSoc, corporations should be run for the national good. So fuck the free market.
>>68784698
It was about freedom and principle too. It's funny you seem more mad about that than this.
>>68776106
On the contrary, this is an example of corporations trying to bully a state government.
>>68780184
Who is saying companies should be forced to do business in Georgia?
>>68784857
It was redefined for everyone. The effect is in the lawsuits being used to ruin anyone who lets a little thing like religion spoil the gays' party
>>68776106
This is what happens when your company is on the stock Market, Jews who control all the money are able to buy up biggest share's in the company and put themselves on the board of directors & effectively take over the company

I don't think effective monopolies should be allowed this
>>68781008
yeah you totally destroyed my argument with your well thought out reply
>>68785124
Yeah because that "freedom and principle" was actually not about equality or freedum but about forcing faggotry down the throats of the silent majority and brainwashing an entire generation into SJW cucks
Well, congratulations, you succeded at turning the millennials into bernie supporters, a great victory for libertarianism

>How the Republicans lost the Southern Strategy
The future of the American political realignment is going to look extremely weird. More importantly, the 'reddest' of Red States will be the first to turn. Then again, Trump voters alone won't carry the party, but Trump + other constituents will be the new majority.
It's so weird.
>>68785014
When segregation ended, if you couldn't stand serving both blacks and whites, you quit your job and did something that didn't require you to.
If you can't stomach weddings for gays, get out of doing weddings. Not that fucking hard.
The religious right is to blame for this shit. They're the ones who gave marriage (the religious institution) government benefits. If they wanted to keep it out of the hands of the government, they shouldn't have shoved their way into the government to begin with.
When you make the government put aspects of your religion into law, don't be surprised when aspects of the law reciprocate into your religion.
>>68784491

That makes not the slightest bit of sense. Separation of church and state was meant to protect the church from the state, not vice versa
The fuck is the bill about? Fag marriage or what?
>>68785517
You may be morally right, but Liberals are just as bad as the Religious Right. For instance, there a restaurants in LA that refuse to serve Trump Voters. But you don't hear lefties complain about this, do you?
http://www.westword.com/news/donald-trump-voters-told-they-cant-rent-colorado-peace-activists-apartment-7723679
Liberals discriminate too. They just aren't called on it as much. Personally, I'm for the no discrimination argument.
>>68776106
Big fucking deal, microsoft leaves they get linux or apple, or pirate their shit as any reasonable person do, not even sure if google can "leave", maybe geoblock, but they can use proxies, or other search engine, nfl, like anyone really care abot the nigger football league, at least they don't have to deal with the noise and garbage and traffic they create, and if coca cola leaves, they just get healhier, they would not dare to leave, because then people would have statistics about health upgrades compared against the coca cola fat states.
>>68780329
>that .jpg
Seems alright to me, I'd much rather be pissing peas than fire-ants.
>>68785851
The bill allows religious officials and faith-based organizations to deny services when doing so would violate a "sincerely held religious belief." Critics say it enshrines discrimination against gays and lesbians.
>>68785666
They would be fined and imprisoned just for proposing it, at least outside slavland

>NFL ever being dumb enough to lose out on falcon money
Others maybe but I find it hard to believe the NFL would ruin their division and business in the country over gays which a majority of the athletes in the NFL don't even like out of religious and of course prestigious reasons
They're too Jewish for that
>>68785952
Jesus Christ that's all? I don't even care about fags getting married one way or another, but this is genuinely an issue? If someone doesn't want to marry so fags that's their choice, same as its any fags choice to get married. What a retarded thing to even waste time on, the way it's being talked about you would think Georgia was banning gays entirely or something, what a joke.
>>68780184
not everyone here is a libertarian or capitalist. capitalism leads to degeneracy and immigration.
>>68784490
So you acknowledge then that you are essentially claiming the most pressing human rights issue in American right now, that deserves a coordinated response by multiple international corporations, is 1% of the population experiencing a mild inconvenience while pastry shopping?
You are why I am voting for Trump.
>>68776106
>allowing corporations to dictate how you should be governed

the base of the GOP was never pro -capitalist. they were just lied to and manipulated to vote for corporate interests. you will see this change though now that most populist republican voters are gonna vote more in line with New Dealer type platforms. the free market destroyed the white race in fact.
>>68785952
They can have their civil union but faggots have no right to force a religion to accept them for marriage.
They keep trying to word this whole battle into tricking the dumbass general public into thinking Christian marriage is a human right.
>>68785861
That makes them assholes, but like churches, they're private businesses so they should have that choice
It's all one way or all the other.

>>68782929
There were legal ways to do that without gay marriage.
If it was really just about hospital visits and rights, you wouldn't see people harassing private business about cakes or using private property.
Honestly, the government shouldn't be involved in marriage affairs anyway.
>>68786668
the overwhelming majority of americans are neither pro nor anti gay marriage. they are apathetic. people wont care if your business caters to gays or not. its the corporations who have alot of gay CEO's in them or ties to gays who are pushing it. Years ago the corporations were bound by what the church said but now the elites up high secularized Americans enough that we are apathetic to it.

>>68779729
Marriage may be a religious ceremony, but there are far too many non religious, government benefits to being married. By not allowing gays to get married you are not allowing them to get the same benefits a married couple would have (tax breaks, property interests, future property interests etc...). You can make the argument that they can introduce a separate way for gays to be legally enjoinedand receive the same benefits, but until that happens you can't disallow them the same benefits as everyone else
Also, not selling products to gays is not infringement on religious freedom, it's just another way of discriminating against them. Making the argument that business interactions with gays violates religious freedom seems silly to me. You opened a business, you are operating in a business capacity when you are working at said business.
There was literally cases just like this during the civil rights movements when store owners refused to serve black people. I doubt this will turn out any differently.
>>68786705
Right. We need to be consistent and not selectively apply rules, which Liberals are very guilty to do.
>>68786675
Yeah. The 19th Century is coming back really soon. Corporate is going to fucking hate it, because without the Southern Strategy their base becomes only half as large, if even that. Comparatively, 19th Century 'Globalists' were the ones championing Social Liberalism, if you could believe it (compare that to Bush and Reagan.)
>>68786682
For true.
I had an obnoxious "wiccan" friend when I was younger, his parents were alright, if not a little too preachy. Anyway, they were proud of their ringless "civil union", they didn't want to participate in marriage because it was a Christian ordeal, as well as a, in their tinfoil witch-hunt-holocaust mindset, a way for the government to keep tabs on them.
While the gays feel like they're fighting for their own rights, we all know it's just the Jews using useful idiots to fight against Christianity.
>>68786705
>like churches, they're private businesses
Churches enjoy tax exempt status which is why people think it's ok for the government to bully them around.
Will of the people or will of the corporations.
Why is everyone so obsessed with sodomy?
>>68786889

But only bigamy between two consenting adults.

>>68787091
I see the corporations going all progressive. you will see the Dems become the capitalist party but use identity politics as a shield. Obamacare was heralded as "progressive" when it is the single most corportist law in US history. If Dems really wanted to be leftist they would have done Single Payer instead. Whites were stabbed in the back by free market capitalism.
>>68776106

Indiana passed the RFRA and they didn't turn into Nazi Germany like everyone was predicting.

But that's ok if muslims do it, how tolerant in 2016
>>68787084
This is becoming more about a battle between Wall Street vs Dixieland, rather than even about Gay Rights. The fallout is going to be real fucking ugly for Wall Street now that the dye is cast.
BTW. Dixieland is different than Appalachia although its hard to get this across unless you travel the borders between them.
>>68787456
Yes. And it'll work great for them. I bitch about alot of things. And I mean. A-L-O-T. But I recognize a winning strategy when I see one, which is why I only say good things about the Dems. They are the only Globalists who are actually winning.
>>68787214
you saw how every corporation had a rainbow flag on their social media accounts? gay pride or latino pride or black pride can be used to get these people to buy shit. white pride is so taboo that they cant make money off it so had politicians paid to pass laws or to get SCOTUS judges appointed who agree with gay marriage. Obama is not no leftist. he is W in black face in fact.

With a statement as dumb as yours, you're obviously lying. Or maybe you live near the Alabama border. Atlanta is OUTRAGEOUSLY proud of their corporate headquarters. Hell, Georgia Tech has the only Pizza Hut in the world because they refused to stab Coke in the back. I was a consultant for a decade in Atlanta and a Tech grad, and regardless of their political opinion EVERY professional I met thought that having Atlanta be such a corporate stronghold was a huge part of what made it great. Grow up when you have a real opinion.
>>68776988
