The Secret War To Censor The Internet
Recent Lextorias video explains how a 2018 FOSTA-SESTA law amended protections to the Communications Decency Act, and immediately opened the flood gates for targeted harassment of payment processors for adult content censorship.
Honestly the Evangelicals are the biggest pedos there are.
Are you trying to tell me that the largest sect of protestant Christianity in the US, which was explicitly founded on the belief that chattel slavery was right and “godly”, might have trouble with respecting the consent of people vulnerable to coercion? /s
There’s also an astonishing amount of dishonesty about the way they operate more generally. They’ve convinced themselves that they don’t need to be ethical, because doing stuff nominally for Jesus is automatically the right thing regardless of the details.
They’re a blight on this planet
If you yell and cry enough about dignity laws, maybe people won’t notice what a sex pest you are
ETA: Not OP, the people who always claim to be so chaste
The P in GOP stands for Projection.
I thought it stood for pedophile.
One in the same in this regard
One and the same, BTW.
Huh, TIL, thanks!
Anytime!
Patterns is patterns, those motherfuckers aren’t hiding
You did not specify your Estimated Time of Arrival. You are not using that acronym correctly.
Apologies. It’s now
I called it years ago when my wife first watched The Handmaid’s Tale: I said oh fuck, this is now what the conservatives are going to create. Ever since then I have periodically written online about this, and how we should start getting used to America as Gilead. It started to spread slowly, and I see people make this reference more and more, and I truly hope it’s not too late. Because that’s their goddamn wet dream; to make America into exactly as depicted in those book / shows.
The Handmaid’s Tale, was in turn, partly based on how Iran went from an absolute kingdom with a secular urban culture and lifestyle to a male-dominated theocracy.
That the US began largely as a string of colonies run by religious officials, an arrangement those megalomaniacal evangelists are trying to bring back, those pricks literally believing they’re on “holy” land and must live up to it.
But they left Europe in part to get away from church government. First amendment and all that. Most of them were religious but they wanted it out of government.

They were not even the same religions as one-another, so that makes no sense. Also, there’s no basis for that idea.

Well if you call putting it into the constitution “settling” for neutrality, then so be it, have whatever terminology you want. They didn’t want a theocracy, but the fundies of today would like nothing more than that.

And now they’re putting up a fascist theocracy – a Christian shariah. The irony.
Some of them wanted it out of government. The fundies of the day we’re willing to go along because their parents and grandparents were chased out of England for being wackados.
The point is that they put the separation of church and state right into the constitution in the first amendment. The fact that they codified it as such, established that it was a primary principle they wanted for the nation’s foundational philosophy.
Isn’t jealousy why they hate iran?
Always has been their goal.
Well, since the 1950s, but this only inspired them with a clear depiction and got them to amp it up even more.

All of the practices in the book are inspired by real history.
Makes sense.
The funniest thing is hopping on a VPN to avoid porn bans and the state the VPN is in also has a porn ban.
Well, “funny”. It’s actually depressing.
Evangelists: “Nobody can sexually exploit others but us!”
If the children become aware of sex, they’ll have a clearer picture of the secret times I’m having with them.
Ah, this isn’t talking about the big war on adult content in the UK right now that’s across all the headlines. Just for those who wanted to see more on that. This is foreign stuff.
This affects anyone who relies on American payment processors (Visa, Mastercard, PayPal), so is very much a global issue.
The group that recently went after Steam is from Australia. This isn’t just an American issue.
Sounds like Prohibition Version 2
I’d love to see how the Christian church redeems themselves.
Yep! Prepare to wear chastity belts 24/7!

FOSTA-SESTA strikes again. I had friends who were sex workers at the time. I worried for how they’d be affected. We lost touch, so I don’t know the outcome for them in particular, but it sure sounded like a bunch of bad.
