It is a slippery slope to ban a party. But. The paradox of tolerance is true. If it’s tolerated. It will eventually take over.

Just like it’s trying to do in the U.S.

Need to start one on onion for doxing ICE agents.

Sue the university if they retract a degree based on 1st amendment rights.

I think he wants them out so that when he orders the military to round up trans, there won’t be any military personnel to object. But he’s stupid.

Plenty of people will object regardless if they themselves are trans or not.

This is trumps biggest weakness.

He doesn’t understand empathy, solidarity, integrity. Because he has none.

And he gets sidelined when others act on those values because he just can’t understand why anyone would stick their neck out for someone else.

I always say if you have to tell people, it’s probably not true.

“I’m not racist, but…” “I’m very smart” “I’m a nice guy”

So I had the measles back in the mid 90s (the last outbreak). I was vaccinated but still got it cause vaccinations aren’t 100%.

I was young. I was hospitalized for like a week. My mom says I almost died.

My memories of it are vague but I do recall being hospitalized. Pneumonia. Something about a kidney infection too. Maybe from being in bad condition.

Measles can damage hearing. Permanently. Measles encephalitis. That can also cause brain damage resulting in permanent cognitive disability.

I was fortunately not one of them. But that can happen.

This isn’t some common cold.

Measles kills children or can leave them disabled.

Wtf is wrong with people?

I would encourage everyone to watch the video of her speech. The title of this post is incredibly misleading. And takes points out of context.

I can’t believe a kid would know about this.

Slightly restored faith in future generations.

Right wing is the authoritarians.
How have you mixed these up ?

The ring wing want to force Christianity in school. To make everyone their religion. They remove diversity policies

They are the ones keeping people from identifying with their gender on identification documents. Or using the appropriate bathroom.

They don’t want women to have autonomy over their own body.

They literally are trying to force people to be a specific way and remove their rights to autonomy.

That’s authoritarian.

You know about the paradox of tolerance, right?

Tolerating right wing ideology only allows it to become dominant.

We can’t tolerate intolerance and misinformation.

It was that tolerance that got us into this shit show we are in today. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

Lemmy. The support group for burned reddit veterans.

We were there. We put in thousands of hours of work. Years of moderating. Free work. Content creators. People who commented. Voted. All that karma …

All gone cause you upvoted an anti trump or musk post. Or maybe you upvoted a photo of a tessler burning.

Maybe you didn’t think Luigi should get the death penalty.

Don’t worry brother. Upvote what you want. Be free with the rest of us.

Which states just let you buy a gun with no background check or registration?

How are people convicted of owning unregistered firearms if registration isn’t required?

Isn’t there always a waiting period and a background check?

Felons aren’t allowed to buy or own guns.

Sure. But it’s fucking weird right. ?

Like we know where this guy sleeps. We know where he sits all day. We know what clothes he wears.

And then show him in regular clothes being given a cocktail. Why the hat? Hiding bruises or something?

It’s just crazy shit.

There are only 3 photos. Guy never looks at camera directly for any of them.

No video.

Idk. That’s weird too.

I’m going to stick with my suspicion that the guy may not be alive until I see some better evidence.

Booker is planning on going down there too.

Let’s see how that goes.

In these trying times when everything is crazy, I can’t take anything at face value. You feel me?

Is it okay for me to still be suspicious that these photos aren’t real ? Why no video ?

Wtf. Why?

And they put him in regular clothes and a hat.

Idk. I hope he is alive. I can’t say I’m convinced yet.

Can’t trust nothing anymore. You know?

So. Plastic straws wouldn’t end up in the ocean if we didn’t have garbage islands and garbage barges (the ones over by New York and New Jersey and wherever else they are)

The focus on plastic straws is stupid imo.

It’s a distraction from the root of the problem.

The trash islands are the big problem that needs addressed.
