What is it with this thing protesters do these days where they demand their
target repeat a phrase? They did this to Occasional-Cortex and now Alec
Baldwin-- in both cases they wanted them to recite "Free Palestine".

Even if Baldwin doesn't believe it, she wants him to just say it. If you're a
normal person and you watch that, you think, what value is there in making him
say it?

Let's say you succeed and he says the phrase. He's only saying it because you
have hectored and harassed him into saying it and he figures you'll go away if
he does. He's only saying it because you won't shut up, not because he
believes it. You haven't changed his mind or anything. He's just repeating a
phrase that you have assigned to him. What do you get out of that? What does
that accomplish? What's the point?

They did this during the BLM Summer of Love riots, too. They'd burst into
restaurants and surround white people eating dinner and demand that they say
"black lives matter".

Leftists seem to take this approach on every issue, in every situation. It
seems intellectually adjacent to the pronoun stuff with the troons. You *must*
say the words they want regardless of whether you believe them or not.

Not only don't they care if you actually believe the words, they almost
*prefer* that you not believe them. Because that shows their power over you.
If you believed the words, then they haven't really exercised any power over
you, but if they can make you say shit you don't believe in because they've
scared or intimidated you into doing so, then they have bright line evidence
of the power they wield.
