It reminds me of a very scuffed map of Europe from the original Transformers cartoon I found some time ago.

The bird is dead!

That’s exactly why polish national populists and christian democrats want to ban being trans and divorcing your spouse.

Truly remarkable. The galaxy brains behind it are truly enlightened.

Considering his politics I’m not sure, he’s more of a capitalist enabler.

They don’t exist, because everytime someone mistakes hate speech for free speech it turns the community into a giant cesspool.

You are, because the guy we are talking about literally chose the appeasement rhetoric. And that’s pretty enlightement centrist-y.

Both sides are equally bad bullshit.

But you do not disagree with someone doing or believing something. By defending transphobia you disagree with someone being one thing or the other. Because transphobia isn’t based on disagreeing with what trans people are doing or believe in. It disagrees with their fundamental right to exist and wants to take it away. It’s no different from racism or antisemitism.

That’s the difference you seem to miss.

Oh boy, an enlightened centrist!

If you cannot differentiate between people actively stepping up to a literal anti-human propaganda from people posting it, perhaps you should fuck off, too.

It’s not censorship, it’s keeping people acting in bad faith from easily act in derogatory ways actively harming people.

There’s free speech in good faith, and the one in the bad. But that’s not even about that. If someone’s speech is basically “all trans people are a pedophiles and belong on the cross in defence of good christian values” (not a direct quote, just a representation) it’s not free speech. It’s hate speech and that kind of speech is not protected. Free speech is meant to protect voicing opinions. Thinking some people are not deserving of worthy living is not an opinion.

Disagreeing with someone having the right to exist is not an opinion.

It’s not censorship, it’s self-defence.

I installed birdsite recently and actually saw tankies for the first time in my life.

Sweet Krolm, the Rat God, what bullshit do they post.

Shit like “If it was a soviet ‘crime’ that means it wasn’t a crime at all”

Unironically Mindhunter. I’m so mad it’s been canceled. Such a great show.
