Wow. The updoinks… Such quality discourse and amazing insight!
How is this entire sub not considered a giant circle tug?
Yeah. It’s only the conservatives doing it.

How about we let parents choose the schools and literature that their children read. No no no. Can’t do that. That would be fascist!
Because the post articulated what the majority of us already knew. That as always has been, the repression in this country comes from the conservatives. The very definition of a liberal philosophy would be against a threat to free speech. When conservatives complain their rights are being trampled on, it’s normally their “right” to harm some group or person that they do not like. A liberal wouldn’t say you aren’t allowed to have a negative view of such person, but may consider it flawed, but wouldn’t say you have a right to harm that person because you don’t like them. Conservatives want to control what you can say, think, and do, to only what fits in a world that makes them comfortable, and feel better about themselves.
Please note that it is not only a US-specific issue. Right has especially in its extreme lengths always been somewhat oppressive and as the right has become more right (again) (also read as in more fascist) in recent years oppressive policies they support are getting more and more oppressive.
You’re right that it wasn’t a very high quality post, but with this topic, what else is there to say? Conservatives have been pretending they’re free speech warriors while at the same time very publicly banning books. It’s so obvious that there isn’t really anything to discuss.
I don’t understand. You’re saying the conclusion is so obvious that the article is worthless and redundant?
Thank God you’re here! I was starting to quote Marx and feelyself turning trans, but you woke me up!
