NEW YORK (AP) - A free, 8-million strong social network for knitters, crocheters and others in the fiber arts has banned talk of President Donald Trump and his administration.
The new policy on Ravelry.com was posted Sunday. The post says the site took the action because it can't provide a space "inclusive of all and also allow support for open white supremacy." The post went on to say that support of the Trump administration is "undeniably support for white supremacy."
Label your opposition and then eliminate them. We're seeing more and more of that these days.
I wonder if there are other examples of this sort of thing in history?
Now, if the knitters site has banned all political discussion, that would be reasonable. But I have a hunch that's not the case.
But isn't it amazing that supporting Trump is now automagically the same as supporting white supremacy? A cursory glance shows that there are an awful lot of minority white supremacists these days.
