@EmperorHenry do... Do you think you're somehow immune to this today? People who piss off the powers that be today are silenced pretty effectively. Nobody needs any digital ID infrastructure to do that.

@Tosti have you ever tried unionizing a workplace? Turns out it's actually pretty hard, especially when people know it's a million times safer to just go get a new job than get fired for union activism

@GiveMemes you're misunderstanding me. I'm not saying you're on the side of the men with guns because you're asking questions about anarchy. I'm saying that because you literally live in a world whose status quo is enforced by violence, and you are advocating for the institutions which enforce that status quo as necessary.

@GiveMemes that's what current society is. You just happen to be on the side of the men with guns

@drphungky actually, I journalists ARE supposed to disclose their personal biases. It feels much worse to me when media personalities pretend to be objective. They aren't. I think the idea that we should discourage the disclosure if personal opinion is actually really bad for media literacy

@The_Hideous_Orgalorg my person, what you believe does not matter. You are giving the impression of someone who hates gay people, using arguments that have been popular in anti gay politics for a long time. Nobody here has to put up with that. There are lots of ways to talk about being put off by something that doesn't remind gay people of someone who wants to kill them
