If you actually read the bill it verbatim says that criticism of a protected class is protected under free speech.

Its not abuse when the political opponent is a bigot using hate and violence to build a platform. For the millionth time, you are free to run out there, make an ass of yourself, and use all the slurs you want.

What you are NOT free to do, and what this entire conversation is about, is organizing and inciting people to commit a hate crime.

Its pretty interesting that these things were fine when we're talking about the civil rights movement, but as soon as there's a trans or gay person around, your rights are under attack for trying to kill somebody.

"He's gonna come back and run the country like a business again!"

Yeah, his businesses that routinely fail and he bails out on.

Also, its a country, not a company, assholes. People matter more than our bottom line.

There are so many other problems at the root of stuff like this too.

First question is why do people actually turn to the gangs in the first place? Usually its because the government/society isn't providing something those people need to survive, and the gang does. Either money or community, typically.

I think most of this was because of the successful propaganda campaign that made every BLM protest sound like a riot when it was some tiny percentage in truth

Honestly ACAB is another badly defined slogan.

The idea was that if only 10% of cops are actually "bad" and will hurt you, if the other 90% aren't reporting them and holding them accountable, you cant trust that ANY cop is part of that 90% because choosing wrong can end your life.

But then again you can't explain all of that in one word lol

I just mentioned the other day how scary that is if a third party can crack it and just got blasted about how Microsoft wouldn't put an OS out with vulnerabilities like that lmao

Yeah I would need to see the "read more" here, all of these look fine but I'd never be surprised to see shit like cruise control or heated seats pop up on a paywall.

Job keeps me fed, housed, sane, and puts some fun money in my pocket. The second it fails at any one of those, start looking.

Honestly, this is the entire point of fines though. We need a system where fines are determined by your tax bracket or something, it shouldn't be "ahh I can do whatever I want until the fines get close to $X million" it should be an immediate "oh i fucked up"

Otherwise, fines are just the cost of doing business.

1/4 of republicans splitting the vote pretty much means a free win for dems though. Don't let the irony of this election compared to the 2016 Bernie situation slide past you lol
