Turns out Fascists only like free speech when it gives them a chance to talk freely about genocide. But then it's "how dare you teach my children about human rights and good touch/bad touch, off to the gulag for you."

Don't commit treason against the United States of America if you can't do the time.

Christ what a fucking moron. Seems to be a running theme with fascists.

One thing I've heard is when conservatives use the word "woke", just replace it with "uppity", because once you cut out all the bullshit that's what they mean. To a conservative, everybody has a place in society in that there are people born onto a natural hierarchy. Black people are inferior to white people, poor people are inferior to rich people, etc., and in true Calvinist fashion it doesn't matter what choices people make, there's no action one can take to change their position. Wherever a person happens to be as an accident of birth defines their value. And in that line of thinking, the worst imaginable crime isn't murder or rape or genocide, it's upsetting the little caste system they've imposed upon the world. Woke ultimately means upsetting the caste system. That includes allowing women to have human rights, letting black people attend college, but even also applying the oh so bronze age concept of rule of law to those who commit crimes against someone "lesser than".

Conservatism is literally incompatible with civilized society in the most fundamental sense. Democracy isn't just at stake, it's the entire concept of rule of law. If conservatives had their way, every day would be like The Purge.

"Many of [your friends and family]" vote for legalizing racism, sexism, and now literally the attempted overthrow of the United States of America. If your friends and family vote for that and vote for taking away peoples human rights, they're terrible people. Maybe they're nice to you but they're actively ruining other people's lives. Your cowardice in continuating to associate with, tolerate, and defend these people and their evil behaviors is childish. "But! but! some of my friends are in the Schutzstaffel, they can't be all bad!" Grow up.

Covid-19 is a biological weapon invented by the Chinese military to mass murders American citizens but also a complete hoax made up by pharmaceutical companies to siphon a bunch of money from American taxpayers, BUT ALSO a nefarious plot by Bill Gates to install a nanobot swarm into every man, woman, and child, so that one day they will combine into a giant Metal Gear and fight Solid Snake for the fate of our nation. Nanomachines, son.

Republicans have got to be the dumbest fucking people on planet Earth.

I find it a tad amusing that this news about Facebook's latest attempt at fucking over the Fediverse is where I hear about the pixelfed project for the first time.

More proof that billionaires are just sociopaths with a lot of luck that hasn't quite run out yet.

Throw in some random gore there for the nuclear option. NSFL is NSFW. And reddit never bothered to distinguish the two so let them down in yet more of their own poor decisions

Oh this is nothing by comparison. Republicans also vote to legalize child rape (which they preciously insist on calling "child marriage") and are trying to bring back child labor because adults are getting fed up with unfair labor practices while little kids are easier to manipulate.

I'll be honest, sometimes I forget this guy is even a real person and not just some spooky boogieman who apparently lives in every easily-frightened conservative snowflake's bedroom closet.

Didn't realize there was a big piracy scene on Twitter. Time to go download some tunes. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, National Music Publishers Association?`
