Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

yes tearing others down in a public shaming mob until often they lose their livelihoods

@YourPalContrail
The mob doesn’t care for justice, the mob just wants to harm others and have power.

@YourPalContrail
We’ve always sort of had that throughout history. Actual witch hunts, the Red Scare, and daily life in Russia. Social media has just made it easier.

Truuuuuue. that’s why this is such a big issue.

@YourPalContrail
I can understand why. I have seen cancel culture, and how it’s the same mentality with a new tactic.

Heard a Christian say that dems will be carried to victory “on wings made of dead fetuses” and ngl that sounds pretty metal, like the lyrics to a super edgy black metal song.

In all seriousness, this situation has altered the playing field a bit. As to how it will shake out will depend on other factors.

If Biden gets inflation and gas prices under control by Nov, a big hot button social issue like this could help them hang on. If not, the economic aspects of the race might be too much to overcome.

@Zincy
If the quotes from the bible that were posted recently are any indication, that’s how God enjoys his victories.

I think it’s the same thing. I just think call-out culture is a more of an apt description

@YourPalContrail
I call it mob mentality.

Josh Hawley a republican from Missouri wants to strip Disney of it’s Copyright Protections.

Yeah I’m having mixed feeling about this one.

@igotnopicks
In cases like this, I look at the motive.

@igotnopicks
Hah! Good luck!

Reducing the length of copyright extensions and generally weakening copyright laws is something I support.

Retroactively stripping CR protections from a rights holder, and failing to address the other manifold problems of modern CR law however is something to be reviled.

@Zincy
That’s why I look at the motive of the push. A good idea pushed for bad reasons can easily become a disaster.

It really is. it’s completely disgusting.

I bring it up because of Twitter call-out mob recently. I don’t even think saying political violence is wrong is particularly a hot take.

@Zincy
That’s why I have mixed feeling about it.

@YourPalContrail
As long as a site lets them rally, they will form a mob.

@Hali the Emoji girl
I can and i do. Even if i would agree, the target is completely wrong, because the random preacher isn’t the person taking their rights away and it just paints a bad picture for them also: giving the opposition something to attack.

@Penguin Dragneel
I heard his reasoning and agree with him. Permabans should be reserved for bots and such.

@igotnopicks
It’s made in an attempt to hurt Disney, which is bad, but it is a step in the right direction. So I support it.

@Background Pony #F298
They should also be for those spewing lies and bigotry without caring about those they hurt. Bots are far from the main reason for the system.

They’re trying to hurt Disney for not being homophobic. They will twist the rules to hurt much more than just Disney.

@igotnopicks
Part of me would like to see Didney be taken down a peg or two…

Which is why I’ve been mostly in the “Let them fight” camp for this GQP/Disney battle.

When 2 villains fight, we win no matter who comes out on top.

@Dustcan
I’m not sure. Disney might double-down on the copyright if things go too far.

Disney has more lobbying power than Hawley has neurons; fair chances are this will backfire enormously, with Hawley slinking away like a worm, Disney laughing to the bank, and the taxpayers once again screwed over and footing the bill of his little stunt for decades to come.

What are the quotes in the bible that are pro-choice again? Asking for a list incase I ever break the news to my religious family.
