One of the most horrifying aspects of totalitarian regimes is their habit of targeting not just dissidents, but their family members as well. The uncle or second cousin of a freedom fighter could find himself in the gulag just because of the blood relationship, even if he hadn’t had any contact with the offender in years. In North Korea, the lovely Kim regime scoops up not just dissidents, but their entire families, and sends them to concentration camps; there are children who actually grow up behind bars. But none of that can happen here, right? Not yet, but we’re on the way: conservative YouTuber Lauren Southern revealed Tuesday that hyper-woke Airbnb banned her parents from using their service, for the crime of being related to her.
Southern, who has 718,000 subscribers on YouTube, tweeted a notice that her parents had received from Airbnb: “We have an update to share. We’ve removed you from the Airbnb platform because your account is closely associated with a person who isn’t allowed to use Airbnb.” This was true in light of the fact that anyone can be characterized as “closely associated” with his or her parents, but Southern explained: “They have never booked anything for me. They do not represent me in any way. They aren’t publicly political in any way.”
Nonetheless, Airbnb was lowering the boom: “This means you’ll no longer be able to book reservations on Airbnb.” Adding insult to injury, under the heading “Why we made this decision,” Airbnb added: “For the safety of our community, we may remove accounts that are closely associated with people who aren’t allowed to use Airbnb.” The arrogant fascist wokesters did not, of course, explain that Southern wasn’t banned from using Airbnb because she set fire to somebody’s apartment, or stole all the silverware, or left someplace full of trash. She states: “I was banned years ago for my politics and ‘affiliations’ as well,” and now Airbnb, a little North Korea, was extending the ban to her relatives as well, assuring them unctuously at the same time that “we don’t take these decisions lightly,” which made it all even worse.
Southern observed: “My parents are some of the sweetest people I know. They were just planning a romantic getaway, they aren’t political activists. 🙁 All I’ve learned is that if governments and corporations can’t shut you up by harming you, they’ll now go for your families.” Indeed. But as it turns out, Airbnb couldn’t take the heat. Tucker Carlson’s producer Gregg Re contacted the woke giant and reported: “@Airbnb tells me it was a ‘mistake’ to ban Lauren’s family members. Decision ‘reversed.’ They say Lauren is still banned, although the spokesman did not explain why. He says that’s forthcoming in an email. Also he denied Jay Carney is targeting political dissidents.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

Check out Mammoth Nation for whether they have a similar company to AirBnB that is either politically agnostic, or caters to conservatives. If there is, people should go to that, and cancel AirBnB. Same for companies like GoFundMe, PayPal, and several other woke companies

Soon every service will have two tier type providers one for regular normal people who just want good service no matter your political beliefs and the others for woke idiots who make their political beliefs a woke idiotic religion.

How in America can a service be denied legally because you do not side politically with the people running that service? So if I am active pro-life ,or proclaim I like Trump on the internet I can be band from using a service ? Take it still further in the near future maybe if I belong to some Christian ,or Jewish groups that push family values or very much against abortions publicly I could be denied services because it offends the people running those services?
