The laws were/are elated to sexual misconduct and decency. It’s easier to believe being gay or trans is sexually deviant than it is to just say “It’s wrong.” Not even 40 years ago, California almost passed restrictions on gay men and women working with children. Sodomy is still illegal in some places, filed under sex crimes.

Jesus might be responsible.

People can feel whatever they want, yes. If those feelings lead to hurting another group out of revenge, it’s not feminism. Human rights are not a limited resource.

If you believe in undertaking revenge against men because misogyny exists, I don’t want to engage in that conversation. It’s not going to be productive for either of us.

I get the impression you don’t read things before responding to them.

If dead internet theory was the goal.

I hope she gets a dick out of it.

I agree that part of it is heuristics, as someone else mentioned here.

Another part is cultural. I was once invited to speak at a panel where we were supposed to be discussing news in our sector. Instead of getting the information ahead of time, the MC just gave us headlines from articles and told us to discuss. Unfortunately, this kind of thing is common in talk shows and panels, reinforcing the idea that people don’t need to read content to get the gist.

Seems too niche to be worth the time and money. However, advertising music only available for bitcoin on the dark web could work as a marketing tactic if the music appeals to that niche audience.

Thing is, I’m on the dark web, I use cryptocurrency and I like underground music, and this doesn’t appeal to me. In my mind, I’m wondering why they didn’t just build and host their own website instead, and sell their album for crypto. I would question why they only accept bitcoin if they’re trying to be subversive. I go to the dark web for drugs, not music, and would be paying in Monero.

Alternatively, some artists have already NFT’d their music so people can purchase it for crypto. And, long before that, radiohead released In Rainbows independently through their website, which only took donations. So there are ways to skip the middlemen without the gimmick.

Could it work? Yeah, it could. I don’t think it would work very well.

Mr Henderson is a coward and would never make it on Henry Hudson’s crew. His wife deserves better.

Man, I wish.

I wonder what CSIS is doing right now.

I wonder if we can finally get a Canadian spy thriller out of this.

We’re not taking about simple incompetence anymore. It’s another kind of ignorance entirely to receive a mild correction for fucking up — in this case having a few comments removed, misrepresent the situation to strangers for validation, and choose to be ignorant despite all attempts to explain the fuck up.

The bill is still being debated in the supreme court. A timeline with more details and updates can be found here: https://ccla.org/major-cases-and-reports/bill-21/

That said, the Quebec government has been pretty fucking hostile to people who wear religious symbols. The original article frames it as residual tensions from the French Catholic chuch but a big part of it is definitely xenophobia and racism. Montreal and Quebec City are progressive havens in a land of very small, very white, very religious towns.

I don’t know how you think that supports your argument.

The meme says he was a nazi propaganda journalist who supported the genocide and was convicted at Nuremberg, which is true. A situation that is no where near the same thing as hanging the opposition journalists when governments change, a tasteless statement to make regardless of what you knew about Streicher.

Maybe this is a lesson to learn about things before saying stuff? Or, at least just accept you made a mistake and move on.

It was a great statement to make.

Don’t have to know shit, no. People don’t have to give you the benefit of the doubt if you don’t want to be informed, either.

It’s on you to figure out what you’re talking about before you comment.

At face value it looks like someone comparing the Nuremberg trials to punishing a political opposition.

I couldn’t find the post you commented on because it was removed, but I think it was the one about Julius Streicher.

If it was, then… The hanging of Julius fucking Streicher after his conviction at Nuremberg is a little goddamn different from hanging journalists who don’t politically align with the current government.

I agree with the mod.

Why oh why are we federated with the MAGA instance?
