    You can’t possibly make a reasonable argument that Kamala Harris is a fascist lmao

    • Authoritarian: no
    • Ultra-nationalist: no
    • Forcible suppression of opposition: no
    • Militarisation of society: no
    • State controlled economy: no




  • I kinda disagree - that’s not to say that they don’t usually do so for illegitimate reasons (or that these bans are legitimate), but there’s plenty of valid reasons why a government would want/need to ban a platform

    X, for example, has been giving the UK a whole lot of good reasons why they may wish to consider it (restoring the accounts of people like Tommy Robinson, allowing misinformation, the owner of the platform himself actively spreading that misinformation)









  • “generally speaking” as in “I pulled this stat out of my ass”

    Calling you a russian bot isn’t exactly a liberal policy, is it?

    If your reasoning for determining someone is “a lib” is saying that, then that’s exactly how you’re using the term.

    The fact you immediately assumed I was a capitalist is a pretty compelling argument that you’re not good at determining people’s ideologies based on their unrelated complaints about your bad takes

    Or - get this - it’s because I’m from a country where having more guns than citizens isn’t considered normal.

    Children aren’t old enough to vote, why the fuck would you think it’s a good idea to give them easy access to ranged, deadly weapons?

    “Gunphobic” is an absurd term, because a phobia implies an irrational fear, so fearing misuse of objects explicitly created for killing things isn’t exactly a “phobia” so much as it is a legitimate concern for the country with the 2nd highest rate of firearm homicides per capita on the planet.

    In my country, we don’t do “school shooting drills”. We don’t need to.
