Have you not heard of all these red states that ban books, burn them, and have begun censoring the internet? Like 6 states now can't access pornhub because those states have decided that those websites are illegal in their state.

Well, do you think that stops at JUST porn??? Did you not follow the net neutrality battle of the past 15 years? Have you not heard of project 2025?

They take 2 inches, we push back 1 3/4th inches. They push 2 more inches, we push back 1 3/4th inches. Well that just means they've gained 1/2 an inch. Now apply this same mentality to at LEAST the second term of Obama. It's a continual thing that just keeps on going a little bit worse everyday. And does not have an endgame in sight. They want more for themselves, and less for everybody else. They want things to be like russia basically. They want a nation of uninformed, easily manipulated, easy to control consumers. They want to control the narrative of what YOU need to buy, and what you're ALLOWED to do with your life. That's why they're anti-abortion. An aborted fetus is just one less consumer for them to make money off of. They don't give a shit about "purity of life". They care about money, power, and control. It's ALL interconnected, and the internet is the biggest tool humanity has EVER had to combat their agenda.

And my point in all of this is, there are people out there, who are completely unaware, not caring that their rights are being taken away, little by little as the years go on. Nobody looks for it. Nobody seems to notice. And that's the point of this, is to MAKE people aware. To point it out, and let people know to watch their surroundings. Question things around themselves. Why are things the way that they are? Follow it's roots. Figure it out through independant research. A well informed populace is the biggest hinderance towards a facist agenda.

Not even a little bit. PornHub isn't blocked in those states by those states, and it certainly isn't illegal in those states. Those states are blocked by PornHub themselves, because those states enacted laws making it mandatory that PornHub and other porn websites verify visitor's ages. PornHub didn't want to comply with that so they just opted to block access from those states. Absolutely ridiculous laws, but we should get our facts straight.

Seems like a distinction without much difference to me.
