When socialism comes to America..

[UNI88]

Fill in the blank:

"Who cares? If _________________________________________________________, what does that matter to you? I have no doubt that you hate it, but its called free will."

- 2 men or women want to get married
- a biological male wants to dress as a woman
- people want to participate in or attend a drag show
- an NFL player chooses to kneel during the national anthem

What is your point here? All of those things are legal in every state and adults are more than free to exercise those rights.

Chasing the latest super expensive useless gadget is also legal in every state and adults are more than free to exercise those rights as well.

There are Christofascists within the Republican party who want to make them illegal. How is kalm's disdain for consumerism worse then a Christofascist's disdain for LGBTQ+.

And are they all? Can a parent take their child to a drag who in floridastan?

So my point is that cheery picking which personal freedoms people should enjoy is hypocritical.

I don't care if Christofascists (or whatever you want to call them) want to make them illegal. Just like there are some (let me make up a word here) Progtardcommies who want to make guns illegal. I don't care about them either. Why do you and klam always seem to fixate on the lunatic fringe for some weird reason?

Please explain to me why a parent would ever take their child to a drag show. My wife's best friend was a drag performer (RIP) for 2+ decades. I have been to dozens of drag shows over the years, and they are a blast, BUT it is 100% ADULT entertainment. Too bad Capt'n Cat isn't with us any longer because he would have some great stories.

You're the one who cared enough to post "Who cares? If people choose to chase the latest super expensive useless gadget, what does that matter to you? I have no doubt that you hate it, but its called free will. If people stop buying all the latest useless gadgets and the purveyors of those useless gadgets have to close shop, who cares? It's a market economy and these companies get bought up, swallowed up, or close shop every day."

Both extremes like to cherry pick when they think freedom should matter and when it shouldn't. They're both wrong.

I don't know why a parent would ever take their child to a drag show but it should be their choice. Libertarians believe in individual rights and freedoms and they don't trust a government that wants to to infringe upon those rights and freedoms.

I also don't know why some (let me make up a word here) maQaBetaCuckFascists want to restrict who can enter into a marriage contract, or ban books with LGBTQ+ themes, or pretend white people didn't oppress black people for centuries but they do.

Was it just white people?

don’t think so

There is no doubt that blacks were abused for even more than centuries and just not by white people

My question is, how long are they gonna use that for an excuse? A few more centuries?

Nice but, but, but ... deflection from the king of them.

No, it wasn't just white people but in the USA, it was overwhelmingly white people.

Do you ever think for yourself or do you just think and do what the maQaverse tells you to?

It isn't an excuse yet and it while it lasted centuries it hasn't been over for close to a century. Vestiges of the oppression remain.


What about individual rights and freedoms?
