“if you have nothing to hide…” Is just another fascist talking point. Your friends are repeating the propoganda.

Yeah i agree, the phrasing is off.

But it is still interesting that they dont draw conclusions like we thought, and especially interesting that they lie about the process.

Chwar? Like… Shwarma?

Now i’m hungry for a Centaur shawarma.

Depends on your kid. If he’s well liked, i don’t think its gonna matter. If he’s not, i would let him have the same stuff as his classmates.

In a few years, social media is probably inevitable. But if you can prolong it a few years, he might just find proper social media and not meta trash.

You’re completely right, both sides have speech they find unacceptable. But lets try to look at it a little closer, what kind of speech does the left try to ban?

Mostly stuff like racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, stuff that hurts others and keeps them down. But i agree, sometimes they take that too far. I think more left leaning people should focus a lot more on economic equality and workers rights.

What kind of speech does the right want to ban? Mostly stuff about their human rights violations, as far as i can tell.

Two sides of the same coin, i guess.

It means “i’m not a racist, but i still prefer billionaires getting all the money”

They wanted less government interference, but instead got an authoritarian state with no funding for education, healthcare or police training.

It has been building to this for a while. When the republicans are in office it escalates a lot, and when the Democrats are in office it escalates less, but it only ever escalates.

This is what a private education system gets you.

You can’t just go around accusing people of being mass murderers.
