Get ready, if the Project 2025 freaks get their way this kind of shit will happen nationwide as a full ban on pornography across the board. It's just another way the party that claims they "stand for freedom" will turn this country into a puritanical dictatorship one small step at a time
First they came for the kinky porn, but I didn't speak out, because I didn't like kinky porn.
Then they came for hentai, and I didn't speak out, because I don't like hentai.
Then they came for the vanilla porn, but I didn't speak out, because I don't like normal porn.
Then, all that was left was yiff. And the furry porn stayed because AI cannot recognize furry porn, and it appears even on Google and Bing Safe Search.
And hundreds of millions of people started looking at the only porn left.
All we are going to have left is Al generated porn. Home grown ai porn.
The Christian Church.....no! One must not teach our kids to d d d d....raw! And burn all books with pictures or photos. Because gad fore-bid they might be porn... Catho-licks.....yeah burn all the evid....books! One of them might contain a photo of a priest and a kid...we mean porn....
What's extra funny is that Islam bans drawing living things.
No, it doesn't Extreme Sunni sects ban the drawing of living things. For a Christian analogue that's like saying all Christians abhor any medical procedure that requires transferring blood, cannot drink alcohol, serve in the military, socialize with non Christians, or smoke tobacco.
Which I'm sure you know is patently ridiculous but there's 8 million self identified Christians who follow those rules. Surely they represent all of Christianity as much as Wahhabis represent all of Islam?
Does this mean can draw the prophet Mohammed since he is dead? Finally a loophole.
Maybe if you draw him as a corpse ;)
Or a zombie!
Well, the other really big religion has a zombie as its mascot so it isn't without precedent.
The mascot was the process of becoming zombie - they worship the process
The elite is trying any way they have to make people have babies, including banning abortion, porn and LGBTQIA+, they know the birth rate it's going down and they need cannon fodder for their wars.
Jokes on them, I was wanking it to the JC Penny catalog long before internet porn and I will do it again. Porn doesn't make less babies guys still want the real thing but we need to jizz for our prostate health.
I love that this sounds like a threat and I cannot stop laughing
I will masturbate 10 times a day if it pisses of a religious nut job.
Don't lie to us, you'd do this for free
We actually have to pay them to stop, they keeps masturbating and it is affecting the world's lube supply.
Nut jobs against nut jobs
It’s hilarious that they think banning porn will suddenly lead to women having sex with men and getting pregnant.
It will just lead to millions of really angry men between the ages of 18-75.
Ban or severely restrict abortion.
Ban or severely restrict porn.
Ban or severely restrict contraception.
Ban or severely restrict divorce.
When do we start hearing them question the concept of marital rape? That shit was legal in every U.S. state until the 70s and not made illegal nationwide until '93.
Trump’s rape and assault helped rewrite the marital rape laws.
The defense industry will fall apart, SS funds will be plundered. The birth rate won’t matter in a few years as society falls apart. They have to call themselves evangelicals because there are so many sects. They won’t be able to govern their way out of a wet paper bag. These morons have no idea what they’re doing. Definition of dog catching car.
As with everything this is a grift. To the people saying leave, cowards.
Next up, social credit. Welcome to Republikkkan Amerika.
I am thinking the next thing they go after is the 2A. Might sound crazy, but I can see the SCOTUS deciding to enforce the “Well Regulated” part.
Except it will only be registered republicans who can be considered part of the “well regulated”, and they will add some measures in there that if someone is registered to a party affiliation they automatically vote straight ticket and cannot change it.
While the courts have liberalized a lot of gun regulations recently, they have simultaneously been ruling in the favor of police treating people suspected, or known, to have a gun as a dangerous, immediate threat, and have allowed them to do things that basically signal to cops that gun = enemy = loss of rights. So, sure you can buy, and carry, guns more easily, but the cops are allowed to pretty much disregard your rights if you do.
Putting this out there.
If you are educated, in demand or have the financial means to do so GET OUT. Globalization means most jobs can be worked anywhere and those that can't are often in demand.
My uni is struggling with student numbers and I still don't understand why we aren't advertising to every single American high-school. One mass shooting in living memory, mostly understanding culture in regards to LGBT, low religious control, low corruption and great views 15 minutes away.
Wait. Is the world going to have to deal with a flood of American immigrants now? That's going to be delicious.
The good thing is that immigration is meant to be selective- we can pick and choose.
I feel like Mexico may need to put up a border wall shortly.
I don't want to be overly offensive, but as someone who has watched the US slowly turn to chum over the decades, I'm not in favour of a mass immigration of Americans to other Western countries. How about you just stay at home and fix things. Most western countries don't experience the same sort of weird and dangerous political problems that are now your way of life.
Just copy what others do. Dump guns as a social artifact, tone down the worst aspects of capitalism, perhaps compulsory voting, adopt a fairer taxation system, and strengthen social security. All other western countries do this to a smaller or greater extent and none of us are perfect or have any less problems in other areas.
I'm definitely not saying that other countries are better, we are not. It's just that you definitely have particular problems and if you can't change them, you better just build that wall.
Nah, fuck this place. I would love to see westernized countries just flat out say “doctors, engineers, lawyers, medical professionals, successful business people, etc., come move here. We will fast track you all and even buy your house in the USA from you at market price”
Then watch as the brain drain kills the USA, and the bitch ass rural banjo players can live out their dreams. Of course life expectancy will drop to 32 years old as they all die of preventable disease. But who cares? Bootstraps! Jesus!
Most are too poor to get out. I looked I to it and no one wants you unless your rich or moving to a shit hole.
But we all know educated and/or wealthy immigrants are welcome almost everywhere. Wealthy, at least; Educated is much more complicated...
We have the distinct disadvantage of absurdly expensive education, which means decades to waste here before debts are paid. Also insanely expensive insurance, so don't get seriously ill or have any kind of accidents (that'll cost you either way). Rent? (That's tripled, fuck you.) Have your parents died and left you money? (JFC they're still alive and poorly spent their savings on garbage and Trump scams? Game over.)
"only one mass shooting recently" 🙃
In living memory.
I can't guarantee America has had less than 2 in the last 48 hours.
The US has 55 times as many people living in 36 times as much land and with nearly no restrictions on firearm ownership in the majority of the country. Recipe for a fuckload of mass shootings
It really is.
I do hope you aren't excusing it, but by that logic NZ should have a mass shooting roughly every 4 months by comparison.
You don't excuse a disease, you analyze why it's happening and figure out how to cure it. Understanding the scale of the host is step one. Understanding what other hosts are doing differently, the extent to which it's working for them, and what effect you could hope to see by mimicking them is step two. In the US, actually implementing any improvement requires relatively broad understanding of what exactly is wrong, how to fix it, and how we know the fix will work without also costing so many people their "freedom" to own a ridiculously efficient killing machine that the improvement doesn't get shot down. That's step 3
In living memory, he’s likely australian.
New Zealand going by the username.
NZ does import its mass shooters from Australia. So that works
Isn't New Zealand actually the hardest country to immigrate to?
If you have no skills its an absolute bitch. Unless you're coming over as a seasonal worker in which they will take nearly anyone.
If you have them, money or a student its much easier.
Its much like turning their seasonal "cheap labor" into "illegals", once you make it so they cannot report you, then these monsters feel emboldened to exploit them. It also probably doesn't make much difference to a lot of these monsters as they are interested in girls (not women) to young to legally do porn to begin with.
What's even worse is they're doing it to ban anything they label porn, aka anything they label "obscene". Those penalties they list are to imprison their ideological enemies: anyone not straight or "Christian".
Get out the vote. Trump, despite his polling, is deeply unpopular with the average American. The problem isn't the people voting for Trump, its the people who aren't voting in general. In 2020, 40 million registered Dems did not vote. Round up every friend and family member, get them registered, get them voting. Go as a group on election, bring snacks and drinks for everyone. Offer a ride or share a cab.
Trump is extremely beatable. They know this, and it's why they're panicking right now. Project 2025 isn't just beatable, it's an albatross; that's why the GOP are pretending they had nothing to do with it, but that leaves them unable to actually articulate any policy positions because it is their policy position.
Why be preparing for failure when you could be planning to win?
