I got a 3 day ban for saying "Fuck Putin! Fuck Trump! Fuck Xi! Fuck Khameini! Fuck Orban! And fuck all dictators and tyrants in the world"
And another ban for saying that I don't like extremism in either way be it LGTV+ people trying to change speech or MAGA idiots trying to destroy culture and western values.
Aparently I was attacking minorities...
Yeah, this kind of attitude will not fly on lemmy. Piss off.
i genuinely wonder, how are you different from "maga idiots" if you think supporting lgbt+ people is an extremist position?
I learned a new slur today. Thanks, you just ruined my television. Also, being gay = fascism, now. Apparently.
Yes, any kind of imposing over someone else's freedom is nor democratic or freedom. You can be gay all you want, but don't demand anything from me, especially not changing how people speak, that's orwellian and also NO TOUCHING CHILDREN.
I don't know how to break this to you, but we've been changing the way we speak since speaking was a thing. LGTV is a new slur and you've adapted to that easily enough.
Yes, by my own will. See the difference?
That one's some edgelord slang term meant to get a reaction while the other is respectful of the freedom people should have to be and love who they want?
Imagine believing that language is static, or that people shouldn't ask others to use different words if they find the ones in use hurtful.
Ask or impose? The damn two foot tall gorilla with a dick is not a woman, will never be.
I know people who lost their jobs because they didn't bend over to these loonatics and it's exactly the same shit MAGA is doing now and it's the exact reason MAGA got to power
Yeah calling people "LGTV+" people sounds like an attack to me. How about you just call people how they ask to be called as a matter of basic decency and respect for others? Costs you nothing.
The bi erasure continues /s
Bi people don't exists, just like birds! They are gov drones to spy on straight and gay people! /s
Oh look guys, we found on extremist! Nah you know what? I'm gonna keep calling LGTV+ exactly that and MAGA idiots exactly that.
Why did you only got triggered by one extreme and not the other?
Wtf are you going on about weirdo.
Because lgbt people just want respect and MAGA are fascists who don't respect anyone and thus don't deserve any respect people can't stop being lgbt but people can stop being fascists.
Being lgbt is not an "extreme"
Being a fascist piece of shit is.
Being gay is not extreme, demanding things from others is. It's fucking Orwellian to try and changae language.
The fact that you can see a hairy gorilla demanding to be called her while not knowing what a woman is what pushed MAGA to power.
And no, I'll not bend to anyone forcing shit on me be it MAGA or leftist extremists.
being trans is not an extreme trans people have existed all throughout history and being trans is not a choice asking people to respect their pronouns is not Orwellian. if you call someone something they don't want to be called that is rude and disrespectful nobody was being arrested for this you can be a bigot if you want but bigotry having consequences like getting fired is not censorship should people never get fired for being rude? is it compelled speech to expect a cisgender person be called by their preferred pronouns? if someone kept calling a cisgender woman a man and they got fired for that is that Orwellian? why is it different just because they are trans? just call people what they want to be called.
also nice stereotyping all trans-woman as being "hairy gorillas" totally not hateful this is also not what pushed maga to power most people just don't care about trans issues and kamala harris didn't even bring this up during her campaign. what I think lost them the campaign is because they didn't really have anything to offer except "at least we aren't the republicans" they completely ignored working class issues and pretended that everything was fine and that the issues that the working class were experiencing were not real. of course people weren't excited to vote for them.
This shit right here is what "both sides" actually looks like.
Imagining David Attenborough narrating the "Enlightened Centrist" for us.
The centrist believes there are two sides, that most must choose between one or the other. This leads the colourblind centrist to choose the "middle ground," mistaking cowardice for choice.
you know, i never considered it before now, the 1% are minorities of a sort. Just not the ones that suffer anything.
There aren't that many dictators in the world. They are a protected species.
Some species are so bad for the environment and other species that hey have to be extinct. Like, i don't know, e-coli, black plague, covid...
