You know who else bans porn? The Taliban, Saudi Arabia and other religiously lead hell holes. GOP is our version of religious extremists. These people are deranged.

Oh they never had a problem with religious law, just which religion. It was always called Sharia law when that was the big scare.
Get ready, if the Project 2025 freaks get their way this kind of shit will happen nationwide as a full ban on pornography across the board. It's just another way the party that claims they "stand for freedom" will turn this country into a puritanical dictatorship one small step at a time
Get ready
Get out the vote. Trump, despite his polling, is deeply unpopular with the average American. The problem isn't the people voting for Trump, its the people who aren't voting in general. In 2020, 40 million registered Dems did not vote. Round up every friend and family member, get them registered, get them voting. Go as a group on election, bring snacks and drinks for everyone. Offer a ride or share a cab.
Trump is extremely beatable. They know this, and it's why they're panicking right now. Project 2025 isn't just beatable, it's an albatross; that's why the GOP are pretending they had nothing to do with it, but that leaves them unable to actually articulate any policy positions because it is their policy position.
Why be preparing for failure when you could be planning to win?
First they came for the kinky porn, but I didn't speak out, because I didn't like kinky porn.
Then they came for hentai, and I didn't speak out, because I don't like hentai.
Then they came for the vanilla porn, but I didn't speak out, because I don't like normal porn.
Then, all that was left was yiff. And the furry porn stayed because AI cannot recognize furry porn, and it appears even on Google and Bing Safe Search.
And hundreds of millions of people started looking at the only porn left.
The Christian Church.....no! One must not teach our kids to d d d d....raw! And burn all books with pictures or photos. Because gad fore-bid they might be porn... Catho-licks.....yeah burn all the evid....books! One of them might contain a photo of a priest and a kid...we mean porn....
What's extra funny is that Islam bans drawing living things.
No, it doesn't Extreme Sunni sects ban the drawing of living things. For a Christian analogue that's like saying all Christians abhor any medical procedure that requires transferring blood, cannot drink alcohol, serve in the military, socialize with non Christians, or smoke tobacco.
Which I'm sure you know is patently ridiculous but there's 8 million self identified Christians who follow those rules. Surely they represent all of Christianity as much as Wahhabis represent all of Islam?
If the Bible itself prohibited such things, then yes, I would be making this point and also making fun of the Christians for not following it, like how they're not supposed to wear mixed fabric or have female teachers.
A ban on depicting living things is documented in a fairly well-supported ahadith. While strict adherence is rare in modernity, it is indeed something present in religious texts and widely practiced historically, which merits mockery.
A hadith is not the Bible. That's the Quran you're looking for. The entire point of hadiths is that they are not agreed on by all Muslims. Especially across lines of sects, ethnicity, and regions. The one you've chosen is only adhered to in Wahhabism. Otherwise known as the doomsday cult that spawned Al Qaeda.
Of course it's somewhere in history, that does not mean it's a current practice as you depicted. If we held entire religions to the history of a sect then buckle up because Christianity and Judaism have some barnstormers that are coming back. But of course you're willing to look past that. You understand Christianity isn't represented by the dicks holding signs at funerals. And yet you hold all of Islam hostage to it's worst people.
I know that hadith hold less weight than the Quran. That being said, there are several ahadith that say that painters will get screwed over by Allah that are considered canon by pretty much all Sunni Muslims. Many of them don't follow these rules, but I personally know several Muslims that drink. This does not change the fact that the actual written rules of the religion prohibit it.
You're also completely missing my original point. The guy I was originally replying to was joking that following Christian fundie logic will lead to a ban on images. I then drew parallels between the Christian and Muslim extremists who are both trying to institute their respective religious laws as the laws of countries, hate each other furiously, consider themselves the exact opposites of each other, and yet seem to converge on a number of issues.
P.S. I am pretty sure that Shi'ites have no equivalent rule regarding aniconism. I know very little about Shia Islam in general so I won't comment on it.
See, one word there would completely change your statement above. Extremist.
I mean yeah, but it's in a text most Muslims believe in. It makes sense to say that Christianity forbids women from being teachers even though most Christians ignore the rule, no?
Not really no. Not just because the evidence for that is highly conflicted, but also because you're giving a false picture of Christianity.
Comrade, we're specifically talking about people trying to push for a ban on porn and the 10 Commandments in every classroom.
Yup. I agree that's not good. But let's keep the focus where it should be.
Fair
remove porn/ porn categories and add any other issue and here we are
What's even worse is they're doing it to ban anything they label porn, aka anything they label "obscene". Those penalties they list are to imprison their ideological enemies: anyone not straight or "Christian".
Next up, social credit. Welcome to Republikkkan Amerika.
I am thinking the next thing they go after is the 2A. Might sound crazy, but I can see the SCOTUS deciding to enforce the “Well Regulated” part.
Except it will only be registered republicans who can be considered part of the “well regulated”, and they will add some measures in there that if someone is registered to a party affiliation they automatically vote straight ticket and cannot change it.
While the courts have liberalized a lot of gun regulations recently, they have simultaneously been ruling in the favor of police treating people suspected, or known, to have a gun as a dangerous, immediate threat, and have allowed them to do things that basically signal to cops that gun = enemy = loss of rights. So, sure you can buy, and carry, guns more easily, but the cops are allowed to pretty much disregard your rights if you do.
The cops are allowed to "pretty much" disregard your rights no matter what you do. Happens all the time, multiple times every day, in every state.
Extrapolate that information however you will.
If you don't have the resources to fight them in court, yes. However they are routinely shut-down when they come across people that do. I am not saying this is good, it is designed to protect people with resources, and is bad. The big thing is that this is happening to people who were able to get competent representation, and spend the time, fighting this, and appealing, etc., in court. They are bringing these cases to to court, and circuit level SC, specifically to rule in a manner that makes it so people with resources have no rights, either.
Putting on my tin-foil hat on - revolutions do not happen unless people of means also adopt the cause, along with at least ~3% of the general population. Doing this locks out, not only, the lower classes, but anyone who the court isn't in the pocket of, thus making revolt, against their side, that much more difficult.
The elite is trying any way they have to make people have babies, including banning abortion, porn and LGBTQIA+, they know the birth rate it's going down and they need cannon fodder for their wars.
The defense industry will fall apart, SS funds will be plundered. The birth rate won’t matter in a few years as society falls apart. They have to call themselves evangelicals because there are so many sects. They won’t be able to govern their way out of a wet paper bag. These morons have no idea what they’re doing. Definition of dog catching car.
As with everything this is a grift. To the people saying leave, cowards.
You're damn right pornhub pulled out.
Eventually you'd think the right would run out of toes to shoot off.
The party of small government and free speech strike again.
Yes, “It’s us or the porn”, yes this will certainly go well for the republicans, no notes
I remember when there was all kinds of brouhaha about how america would never ever turn into another islamic state or taliban. Seems that has been decidedly forgotten
Don't worry, Congress already created a full mirror of the site beforehand so they can still watch it
another wrongly posted article
should be in [email protected]
I guess you weren't able to find a reason to spin this story into a way for you to tell people to not vote for Biden so you don't think it belongs here.
if you find no correlation between the religious leaders we have like Catholic Biden and the boots we are stomped under that is on you
when enough people have their lives upended by something they do not even believe in maybe the country will change but until then progress is strangled by religion
only pointing out the boring dystopia of living in a Christian ruled country
Oh look, you found a way.
go further with a both sides take
both Vance and Biden are flaming Catholics and both heavily defend Catholic Christian values
every sperm is sacred
