@icedquinn You know the saying... even a broken clock.
The thing that pisses me off to no end is that pre 2010s, it was the left that fully advocated against censorship in media.
Then proceeded more than a decade of the "liberal" left, the progressives, the feminists, the social-justice warriors, whatever label you want to use for them, that started advocating for censorship in media. Now that they finally realized it's a problem (after ignoring everyone else that was screaming at them all this time to stop), NOW they're pretending to come around and realize "oops, this ain't good". All I have to say is a sincere "fuck you" to all those people.
I don't even care that they finally agree with me on something. I don't actually want them as an ally and I still want them to suffer deeply at this point. These kinds of people abused my goodwill for a decade, and they helped bring this into effect in the first place. I'm a very forgiving person, but I have my limits.
@icedquinn The problem is, can you trust them not to backstab you literally immediately? Cause I don't. I think a movement to counterattack VISA/Mastercard would just be healthier without them. If they want to do a thing in parallel to protect LGBT content, good luck to them. But I don't think we can allow them in our communities. We've seen since ElevatorGate what they do. These people have broken more communities and sabotaged more movements from the inside than I can count.
Remember when "New Atheism" was a vibrant movement? Remember Reason Rally and how amazing it was for the movement? And then remember how it flopped and disappeared as soon as "social-justice" got involved?
These people simply aren't allies. They are poison. They'll do what they always did. Pretend to care for the same things, and then immediately try to assume power and take over your movement. After which, it dies out.
