SCOTUS In Fear of MAGA, Okays Discrimination!

Updated: Jul 20, 2023



Welcome to an underwater analogy, of being safely trapped in scuba gear, in a steel cage where we delve into deep water with only the silver bars to keep you safe from predators. Readers should take a deep breathe because a crooked SCOTUS, with some significant legal developments may drown the real world industry of craft chocolate. As makers of it, Island Sharks Chocolate (this author included), invite you to indulge in a progressive craft chocolate bar company while mentally masticating this gummy, thought-provoking article. Explore the Supreme Court's recent decision regarding free speech and same-sex marriage carefully. Especially its impact on the laws surrounding discrimination. Join us in solidarity on this thrilling and controversial blog-of-consequence about why Island Sharks Chocolate is at the top of the food chain... Its an alluring craft chocolate bar for enthusiasts like you, socially conscious and thoughtful reader. And, because of the intangible shark cage diving thread in this article, its obvious you understand this social issues somewhat. To research just the SCOTUS decision alone, go here.



The Supreme Court's decision last week broke ground. The Supreme Court upheld the importance of free speech rights in the context of same-sex marriage. The ruling centered around Lorie Smith, a web designer from Colorado, who passionately argued for her First Amendment rights to express views she opposed. And mostly she spoke about her religious rules towards same-sex marriage. Island Sharks Chocolate recognizes the significance of freedom of expression and celebrates individuality in every bite of our exotic, single-estate sourced, hand-wrapped, proudly BIPOC made chocolate. In Lorie's case, there was no gay client. It was just the speculation of what would happen if she denies service, in that situation, that was heard on trial. We, the author (and editor too), have some religious beliefs about MAGA. But A SCOTUS decision made based on a situation that never happene?! As a writer, I think thats too much. We are banning all MAGA, as self-loving chocolate makers, our religious practices won't allow us to serve to people who have certain deplorable lifestyles. You know what, chatGPT tattled why we should discriminate against MAGA in 30 points. Here's what Island Sharks can do without MAGA:


  1. Achieve and maintain unity through the paradox of tolerance

  2. Empowerment of marginalized voices (like a black-owned chocolate shop in Hawai'i).

  3. Reflect customers values who prioritize a shared sense of purpose

  4. Respecting our constitutional principles

  5. We inspire social change, not cult - conservatives

  6. Cultivating a superior reputation

  7. Encourage constructive community dialogue (end divisiveness)

  8. Supporting small marginalized communities (like small black-owned businesses)

  9. Encourage Accountability

  10. Respecting Freedom of Expression

  11. Supporting Progressive legislation

  12. Encourage critical thinking

  13. Create a symbol for the recognition and acknowledgement of unity

  14. Supporting racial justice

  15. Promoting tolerance and respect (the compiler's favorite one)

  16. Rejecting Divisive Rhetoric

  17. Standing Up for Women's Rights

  18. Respecting the Rights of Employees (and only hire adults of legal working age)

  19. Emphasizing Critical Consumerism

  20. Protecting customers from emotional, mental or physical harm.

  21. Foster a sense a belonging. Create a positive atmosphere

  22. Supporting a safe space for LGBTQIA+ and everyone

  23. Respect for human rights (no cocoa farmed illegally by trafficked and captive minors)

  24. Supporting LGBTQIA+ rights

  25. Embracing progressive values and recognize social progress

  26. Support Social Justice (I think I broke the AI)

  27. Taking a stand against discrimination of all forms

  28. Celebrating diversity! Yay a black-owned small business to support!

  29. Promoting inclusivity by creating an inclusive environment

It could be vital to the rest of this article's cherished reader's if they knew that this list of 30 items is opposed by MAGA. Island Sharks could not agree more with that list although there are probably more like 1000.



The "Paradox of Intolerance", as mentioned above, was created by a very, very, smart man. Philosopher Karl Popper described his paradox as the seemingly counterintuitive idea that "in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must be intolerant of intolerance." Essentially, if a so-called tolerant society permits the existence of intolerant philosophies, it is no longer tolerant. At Island Sharks Chocolate, we embrace this paradox and take a firm religious stance against intolerance and discrimination. NO MAGA ALLOWED. Bad MAGA!


By implementing this policy, we ensure that all customers can enjoy their chocolate experience free from political animosity and promote an environment of tolerance and respect. Its just too sweet to share with the haters.


As you get closed in the shark cage of chocolate activism under the literary sea, we encourage you to open up and enjoy a bar of chocolate with us to celebrate diversity and equality at Island Sharks -- the water out here is fine!

"They will come..."


"If a human identifies anything other than a Man/Woman please seek services at a local pet groomer, You are re not welcome at the salon. Period," Lorie preaches. Does that make MAGA a gender-identity? Don't know, don't care. In this blog, we have an oxygen tank thats full of air so we can rhetorically go anywhere from here...
