i live in such an atheist bubble. i'm constantly shaking my head at the fact that we haven't woken up to how many problems religion creates. every day that we don't do a massive purge and/or reeducation camp imprisonment of all theists allows this ridiculous charade to keep going.
I watch atheist content creators on youtube do take downs of theistic arguments.
I have been out of religion for so long that I can't fathom those theists not realizing their idiocy.
And those theists always come with such strawmen "You believe we come from a rock" (no, that's not what atheism entails, but you do believe we come from dirt, so that's actually what you believe), "why do you hate god?" (how can I hate something I don't believe exists?) "You should read the bible" (I did, cover to cover, it made me atheist, you should do it too for a change)

Brought to you by a president who f****d a pornstar and paid her off by falsifying business records.
Clown world for a clown species.
Brought to you by the only first lady to have pictures in Playboy.
I remember when conservatives said they wanted people out of their bedrooms. Well... as a forever alone, what do you think I do in my bedroom every night?
If this happened in europe, we would all collectively wank off infront of the government buildings or some shit
Never forget your puritan roots
Witch ones? (sic.)
Check this guy's computer first. Guarantee there's some fucked up shit on there. It's always projection.

Under the bill, content would be considered obscene if it appeals to prurient interests in nudity
And since they've already taken away due process, they're basically paving the way to send anyone who has a body they don't like to a death camp. I don't think it's hyperbole anymore to say that that US is fucked.
This is basically how we ended up with the burqa. A woman's body is evil because it makes men unable to control their sexual urges, therefore women must be banned. Now, in Afghanistan, a woman's voice must not even be heard.
How long until the USA reaches that point?

Sending people to El Salvador is much easier when you make everyone a criminal.
Owning the libs just took on a whole notha meaning, aye? What a treat. /s
Maybe that's the whole point. That and then letting Hollywood make profit off of sex scenes.
It's all business disguised as well to do ideology.
It is never for the people. If it was for the people we would be building proper community, respect, and teaching the reality of the human experience so that people can be the best they can be.
Conservatives keep saying they're for the common people.
Are they? Are they really? Seems to me they're really busy doing stuff that regular folks hate.

They don't intend to ban anything. They're just creating reasons to lock people up.
They are, to a man, insane authoritarian shitbags. All they care about is control.
The plan according to project 2025 is to classify trans people existing as pornographic. Wish I was joking. Been warning people about this for a year now.

Conservative fascists are obsessive consumers of trans porn.

It's part of the plan in Project 2025, to ban pornography and then classify LGBT literature as pornography

Remember that the far right has been desperately trying to label any LGBTQ-related content as 'porn'. Educational resources? 'Porn'. Biographies about gay people? 'Porn'. Drag queens? 'Porn'. A book about a boy with two mommies? 'Porn'. Anything that acknowledges the existence of trans people? 'Porn'.
The purpose of this bill isn't to ban porn, it's to ban 'porn'. Anything they don't like will be deemed 'porn', and then this gives them the legal justification to ban whatever they want.

Friendly reminder that only one party takes rights away.
And that's the party that got all the stupid fucks in our society to think they were the party of freedom.

Even the most oppressive tyrants in history understood the concept of bread and circuses. Most people will stay complacent when their fundamental rights are being taken away as long as they have their distractions. Taking away the distractions is something you only do after you've fully consolidated your power. They're so obsessed with projecting an aura of oppressiveness that they've forgotten how to hold power.
