the party of "small government," once again, wants the government to police everything you do with your own junk
Women: "First time?"
more than half the conservatives would be in jail
Don't you worry, these laws won't apply to them.
probably will to some degree, one of the key defining traits of fascism is to make the in-group smaller and smaller

I like the "book 5 | pdf: 37" part it makes it look like you're quoting the Bible.
That's what got me too. It's all pretty hilarious when put that way.

Its easy to forget how the Blue Lives Matter crowd and the pro-2A crowd have some crazy overlap given how suicidal it is to be seen with anything vaguely shaped like a gun when you're anywhere near a cop.

If you are an American and care about privacy:
- Write your representatives. Your message can be as simple as "I care about privacy". It's important they know you are watching their votes.
- Participate in elections, particularly downballot elections. Congressional makeup at the federal and state level matters a lot more for these kinds of things than who is president. Many recent laws like "right to repair" etc have happened at the state level since you can bypass federal congressional gridlock.
- Participate in primaries. Most Americans do not vote, most voters do not vote in primaries. If you don't like having to choose "the lesser of two evils", primaries give you much much more choice to express your preferences. As a primary voter, you have an outsized influence on the electoral system and can help determine the options other people get to choose from.
- Donate to PACs and non-profits working to protect your right to privacy. The EFF is an awesome non-profit. One benefit of donating to PACs is that they keep an eye on races across the country and help find and fund candidates who will advanced privacy legislation.
- "Vote with your dollar" when you buy things. In many cases, your purchasing power outweighs the political power of your vote.
Move to Canada.
Oh don't worry, we've already implemented internet controls federally. They just are using the argument of "promoting Candian content"

If that legitimately happens and makes it into law in a broadly enforceable way rather than a "this person who I don't like was caught checks notes watching porn! book em!", which is definitely what it would be like basically every law that came before it, I guarantee that the government would collapse within about three weeks if less. Which I think is maybe a good rule of thumb, that if your law would collapse society if it were enforced equally, it should not be a law.
Do not underestimate the power of the gooners when they are kept from the goon.
These laws will never be used against those who are passing them.
I guarantee that the government would collapse within about three weeks if less.
Oh sure. Famously, whenever a worksite implements a blacklist on pornographic websites, the workers immediately begin screaming and flailing and eating each others faces.
Do not underestimate the power of the gooners
Generally speaking, the power of the gooner is to compile 500 TB of questionably legal pornographic data on a PLEX server in their basements and ride out the porn-pocolypse as a bunch of horny hermits.
But the theory that this is going to be the last straw and hordes of angry horny dudes are going to take to the streets in a mass labor action is about as likely as the one where Tech Bros were going to take to the streets over Net Neutrality or women were going to have a sex boycott over the Abortion Ban or the hippies were going to tear down Wall Street over the drug war.
Americans are shockingly pliant and far more prone to simply turn to black market cartels than actively resist policing.
I was being hyperbolic, but, a famous part of the prohibition was the organized crime which was both kind of naturally occurring at the time and was created specifically to traffic booze. Illegal material can't be protected by legal means, obviously, and so in order to trade it, you basically have to create your own police force, your own privatized military. a gang, a mob. That's how we got nascar and shit, the rumrunners. If you made porn illegal, I'd imagine it would just be added as kind of another form of valuable property which would be traded around by gangs which would see increased power and are kind of inherently anti-institutional. So, turning to black market cartels is a form of resisting policing, it's a form of anti-institutional action, I'd say, as it gives more economic power to anti-institutional organizations.
I'd also say, you know, I mean, the hippies did go to wall street in 2008, so that's something. We had the big liberal feminist pussy hat shit sometime after that, which I'm not as familiar with. More recently we had BLM which was possibly the highest level of street marching we've seen basically ever, and then we've seen like two riots to try and overturn elections, one of which was successful. We've seen more recent campus protests which are still constantly ongoing despite a lack of media attention. I don't think it's as absurd as you think, that something kind of stupid like porn getting banned might be the tipping point, especially considering the pretty steady upward trend that we've seen with political action concerning other somewhat disconnected issues.

Don't forget that Republicans consider pretty much anything featuring gays as sexual and pornographic.
These laws are made to promote illegal porn sites.
And VPNs
Watching Republicans ban 4chan would be funny.
Americans getting dumber and dumber over the years. i thought the "stupid white men" era was the peak, but i stand corrected
To everyone interested: Mullvad and IVPN accept XMR as payments and do not store logs.
Keep your bits going the way you want them lads
There's a certain special irony in Crypto-Bros like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk bankrolling JD Vance so he can push Project 2025 through Congress and force gooners to kickback a rent to Crypto-Bros in order to jerk it.
