You’ve missed the point - I am pointing out that being forced to hide who you are at the risk of losing your job doesn’t actually give people a choice and saying that they do is disingenuous. Criminalising someone’s identity doesn’t give people freedom to be who they are which the supposed freedom you say exists.

It’s just leaning into semantics while forgetting there’s real life people at the end of it being told to hide their sexuality or gender because some chuds are up in their feelings because not everyone is straight or identifies with their gender at birth. Sounds free to me /s

That’s like saying you can murder people but there’s consequences - let that sink in bro

Who said anything about book burning? Expression isn’t a right that all Americans enjoy - teachers in Florida can’t tell their students that they are anything other than straight CIS people…but freedom, amirite

Nah it doesn’t but I’m pointing out how the bastion of freedom that is the US ain’t as free as people like to think :)

Y’all have those book bannings, right?

You seem to have absolutely no idea what you are talking about - I’d suggest picking up a book sometime.

No, they are a gigantic conglomerate they can afford to give you actual currency. Don’t accept bullshit from corporations

Of course - it’s 2023, we don’t actually own anything

More referring to the invading of countries without criticism, long ass history of doing that in the name of “freedom”

Wait till yall find out about Henry Ford and the banana companies

I’ll probably get downvoted to hell but America’s done that for hot minute now and also evades any real criticism from the West. And yes, Russia bad and invasion bad, no question but if we’re keeping score…

Guilty as charged

That’s the spirit, lick the boot homie. Next you’ll say Modi is a good leader

What did Iran do? Hot take but if Nobel is actually serious, they’ll refuse the US, UK, France, Israel etc for similar reasons.

The American Government doesn’t care about it’s people let alone anyone else - a hollow apology will not achieve a damn thing because they’ll continue to disrupt foreign governments like they have for the last century and change.

It is when so much of their population struggles in poverty 🙃

No, it’s just the absolute demons y’all elect lol

Have you actually listened to her?

This quote:

“It took a Clinton to clean up after the first Bush, it may take another Clinton to clean up after the second one”.

Ah yes, Bill Clinton who - checks notes - signed a bill putting another 100k cops on the street and introduced corporation friendly trade agreements that hurt workers (NAFTA) for starters. He was the worst kind of democrat, one that does what the Republicans want to do but act like it’s some sort of progressive act and she’s the exact same.

As Sec of State, she put ridiculous sanctions on Iran, she was the driving force behind completely fucking destroying Libya and in general, she’s a war hawk who will invade any country it takes to uphold the status quo regardless of the impact to the people. You can argue that is practically any politician in the system (and you’d be right) but she has a proven track record of it.

Idk, he’s doing a pretty darn good job of terrorising LGBT+ people by quite literally making it difficult to exist

What an absolute dogshit headline - this old white man certainly needs to better at avoiding giving clippable highlights but the journalist absolutely knows what they are doing.
