@rasterman @ChristiJunior If you have progressive relatives you will understand, they never sum two plus two. They never connect the results of the policies ( higher taxes, higher poverty, loss of freedom, high inflation, etc ) with the fact they voted for those policies. For progressive's it is always "someone's else" fault ( the ghost of the previous administration, the dreaded "imperialists", the market, etc ).
So my dad, who became a "hardcore" Christian after marrying his current wife, apparently does not have the slightest clue who Martin Luther is despite being a deacon at his church.

I was going to appeal to his faith and get him to read Martin Luther's book about (((them))) and (((their))) lies since I figured Martin Luther would be a better messenger than an Austrian painter, but he thought I was talking about the nigger.

Protestantism was a mistake.
Normal people say "What do I want out of life?" And then they take steps towards it.

The religious fundie says "It doesn't MATTER what you want in life, sinner!" Thus they stagnate in their own anxiety and depression.

Normal people see this all along. So I guess the question becomes: is there any value AT ALL in being a religious fundie?

Is fearing Hell good for the long run? It's hard for me to argue "No", but some will discredit me because of my roots.

Damn, this is the stuff.

I buy myself a gaming laptop to enjo....

@thor @amerika @feld It's silly to talk about "wrong motivation" to support free speech, you might as well talk about "wrong motivation" to cure cancer. Free speech is an unqualified good, should not even be up for negotiation, and the more people who support it, the better, regardless of their motivations.

Not to mention that there are many things that free speech is urgently needed for beyond just criticizing governments, and yes, race realism and debunking gender ideology are very much areas that prove how valuable free speech is today.
@thor @andreas @ChristiJunior @amerika @feld i gouge you way higher than 125, you're definitely smarter than me at least, this is why IQ is fake and gay
@thor @amerika @feld I 100% oppose criminalizing Loli, so you'll have to do a lot better than rape hentai to shock me. I don't believe in thought crime, and if someone tells me they specifically like rape hentai, I'd respond with a squid emoji or something shrug_akko

I consider something like encouraging children to think of themselves as transsexual to be infinitely worse than any kind of lewd drawing - but I don't want gender ideology made illegal, I just want to be able to freely criticize it, and parents to be made aware if their schools are pushing that shit.
@amerika @thor @feld People who have any qualms whatsoever about allowing "racists" and "sexists" to have free speech don't support free speech at all, they're just too cowardly to openly support censorship and are looking for a way to have it both ways.
@thor @feld

Also:

If you support free speech, you will quickly learn that it is necessary to say offensive stuff to open the window further.
