re: Censored - Texas Brewery Cancels Kyle Rittenhouse Fundraiser Against Censorship

I could say a great deal about this subject; for the sake of brevity, I’ll try to truncate the saga by offering several bullet points:


- SSBC has been anything but “apolitical” in the past (I have the receipts).
- Defiance Press (publishing company) had an event—featuring multiple authors—planned to be held at SSBC.
- A man acquitted of a crime happened to be one of the scheduled guests at said event.
- A few of SSBC’s patrons got wind of Rittenhouse’s planned attendance and promptly and publicly began clutching their hypocritical pearls.
- HEB (a retailer who stocks SSBC’s product) was made aware of the event and began issuing threats.
- Initially SSBC appeared to be a victim of mega-Goliath, HEB.
- It soon became obvious that wasn’t exactly the case.
- Defiance Press has since relocated their event to Lone Star Convention Center in Conroe (come on out!).
- SSBC has now shifted blame towards the Texas Nationalist Movement, claiming TNM’s appearance is the reason they scrubbed the event from their venue (they’re having a tough time keeping tally of their list of justifications).
- What we’ve learned: An event highlighting free speech doesn’t belong at a venue that doesn’t embrace free speech.
- SSBC and HEB have the right to their beliefs; I have the right to mine.
