And so fascism continues its rise... Ya'll ready, artists and intellectuals? Because you'll be next, if memory serves me right 👍
All in all as a scientist, I feel just as dumb as smart depending on the situation. But if the term intellectuals incorporates the use of basic logic, then ya, me and the homies are about to be persecuted for sures!
Logic is totally woke and DEI! To the concentration camp with you!
I'm currently reading the book Nexus by Yuval Noah Harari (the same dude that wrote Sapiens). It's got an interesting chapter about how outgroups have been defined in fascist societies. Things like being a scientist, or just being thought of as smart, can easily be enough to get you labeled as an "other" and persecuted.
I pretty much assume everyone on Lemmy is fucked.
Guess I know what's on his Grindr profile.
or finding Cp material on thier computers, and phones.
That's a bingo!
Why is this so important to them?? Wtf
Projection. Every accusation is a confession. He feels guilty, so others must be punished.
Yeah I'd take s pretty large bet that fucker does all these things in a daily basis.
What does that spell? GOP!
It's about control. They want one man, one woman, no experience, having kids. That way the parents will do a terrible job raising their children, and will spend all their time working instead of living, sustaining the cycle of abuse. It also fits with the christian heirarchy (patriarchy) of "woman obey man, man obey god."
It's a death cult. Too many people still don't seem to realize how bad it is.
Why is this so important to them?? Wtf
A staple of dictatorships is an unhealthy obsession with the contents of other people's pants.
Because they want to live in a world where everyone produces as many children as possible, especially if they do not want to, cannot afford to, or don't even feel attracted to the opposite Sex.
You know that shit's on his mind 24/7. He should get down on his knees and think!
I'd wager the horniest gay nymphomaniac doesnt think about cock and gay sex as much as the average republican does.
He's getting down on his knees, but he ain't doing any thinking, just like his client requested.
heterosexuals also do all of those above.
According to the interview, that's fine. Yet, it remains unclear if that only holds for foreplay. It's supposedly also no crime (and only a sin) if it's lesbian sex.
When I was young I worked a grunt-work job with some repulsive people, people I never would have associated with otherwise. Once I was doing some grunt-work with a guy I'll call Tony. (His real name is also Tony. Fuck you, Tony.)
Tony was a legal adult. Tony had graduated from high school and had a full time job, a car, a place to live, etc. Tony was the sort of performatively super-hetero guy we used to call "macho." Always making comments about women's bodies, taking every opportunity to suggest a level of sexual experience he surely did not actually possess, etc. I was very young, I was very naive, and even I thought Tony was full of shit.
On one particular day, Tony was cheerfully and self-righteously showing how macho he was by ranting about "the f*ggots," how much he hated them, how despicable they were. As if this was just a totally normal topic of conversation among young blue-collar men-of-the-world such as ourselves.
I told Tony that I was actually in favor of encouraging as many men to "turn gay" (I never imagined that was a real thing, I was just trying to express this in a way he'd hear) as possible.
Tony's demeanor changed. His face darkened. He looked at me and said something like "What the FUCK did you just say?" He was genuinely upset.
I told Tony that if more men were gay, that could mean more unattached women in the dating pool for me. If more men were gay, it would mean more unmatched ladies out there for him.
I wouldn't say it took him a long time to work through this, exactly, but the contortions of his face made it clear there was some working-through involved. He was sort of floored. Derailed. Off-balance. He tried to recover: “Oh yeah, that would work out that way,” with a weak smile and not much conviction. It was pretty obvious that this had never occurred to him, not for one second.
I’ve wondered sometimes, in the years since, if he was closeted himself. But how could I know, really?
Closeted or not, I think he was into homophobia for the permission it gave him to hate An Other without reservation or regret. He thought of homosexual people as exotic and far-away, a phenomenon with no actual relevance to his daily life. And of course, that very attitude, that culture, that environment, made it next to impossible for him to meet any real person who would openly identify as homosexual. His hate made homosexuality exotic in his environment, and that exoticism gave him permission to indulge his hateful impulses, a vicious cycle.
Interesting insight. I hope Tony didn't end up predictably, beating on some poor woman in a trailer park.
Mercifully, I got an opportunity to leave that job, and instead work at a public library.
As a result, I never saw Tony again.
So that's funny.
People like him made me reconsider freedom of religion. I think any religion advocating for stripping other people's rights and or wanting to dominion over society first should lose any state funding and tax exemptions, and any religiously motivated act of terror or conspiracy attempt of subverting secular democracy should be also be punished with one's religious rights getting stripped in prison.
Freedom of religion needs a firm separation if church and state.
These theocratic monsters are trying to remove both.
All religions should lose state funding and tax exemptions. You can still practice your religion but why are we giving them money.
That’s my interpretation of separate of Church and State.
How about you prosecute child traffickers instead
Apart from the fucker being a condemnable fascist that'll hopefully do us all the favor of greeting the worms soon, he sure has an interesting fixation.
Maybe I'm doing this "being straight"-thing wrong... But what other men do with their genitals and orifices is of very little interest and importance to me
Never said anything about footjobs, checkmate pastor
Yeah foot jobs, rimjobs, thighjobs, hair jobs. ZJs, TJs.. that thing Emilio does with his hips. Mans got a lot to learn
American Taliban. These guys are just Mullahs measuring testosterone levels and pubic hair length.
Y'all Qaeda

For now, he's busy collecting evidence on those soon-to-be criminals and building a reputation for his cover identity. Wouldn't fool anyone if some new law gives him what he says he wants and then he starts showing up at the local gloryholes the next day.
He also believes that having sex with children is just the bee's knees!
No, and this is going to be interesting, because I’m a Bible guy. If you go through the Law of Moses, you won’t find any legal prescription of lesbianism.
So no for the boys but yes for the ladies.
he's one of those straight guys who get off to lesbian porn, perhaps....
conservative convention grindr user confirmed
Bet his search history is…interesting.
How about fucking kids? We ok with that? 👌🏻

Projection. Just wait for it.
Yah, this guy has a well-used Grindr account.
Tell us about your ladybugs, buddy.
Closet: Don't Gay Open Inside
I'm sure he can get a long list of criminals from the activity in his Grindr account.
I want Hegseth prosecuted for piracy & war crimes.
Pretty sure this guy also wants to bring back slavery. Of course he imagines himself to be an owner, not a slave.
