There's no hypocrisy here.
Selective enforcement is the core of conservative law making.
Broad generalizations like this do nothing but reinforce echochambers.
Broadly speaking though, it's true. Do you have counter examples to offer?
A counter example of what? A conservative law that doesn't have selective enforcement at its core?
Have you got one?
No, I'm done with this stupid conversation and closer to believing Lemmy is a cesspool echo chamber than before it started. You people are fucking idiots that detract from reasonable discourse and progress on the left.
And by the way, I'm far from conservative, I hate Trump and all the other extremist authoritarian assholes, and I'm starting to realize you lot are almost as stupid as the MAGA fascists.
Downvote me and fuck off.
I don't know what you want from other people. You're not obligated to argue with people on the internet, but you started a disagreement that you weren't willing to back up. Then you baseslessly called everyone idiots and a danger to the left before storming off. Maybe when you have more distance you can learn some lessons. Maybe you can understand where they're coming from. Maybe you can better articulate what they did to harm the discourse. At the very least, it would be wise to learn to not pick fights you don't want to actually participate in, for your sake and everyone else's.
Dude just shut the fuck up and leave Lemmy then. Clearly you aren't interested in any actual conversation, so why the fuck would we want you here to begin with? Do us the favor of walking away.
We all knew they were gonna figure out a way that the law doesn't apply to them and the stuff they like. That's like the fundamental constant of conservatives, it's different when we do it because we're not those people.
“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.” –Francis M. Wilhoit
Porn just needs some inspirational quotes to go along with it.
Love thy Neighbor, as you would love yourself.
Love thy Neighbor, as you would love yourself: ferociously.
Fuck yeah, spread it
TBF understanding that horses are known for their voluminous ejaculation is critical knowledge for children.
God is a brony confirmed
Time to start giving the kids leaflets that highlight all the Communist teachings of Christ. Use The Bible to radicalize the youth!
Betcha they yank the book, tout suite.
They'd just lie and say the pamphlets are twisting Jesus' words and use that as a pretext to ban the pamphlets.
Cognitive dissonance is a helluva drug
They would also use it as an excuse to try and teach the Bible in schools. Ya know, to correct the misinformation in those pamphlets.
Well, church leaders have been reporting that the sermon on the mount (or whatever) is being criticized as woke. Maybe there's something to this idea after all.
