This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Of course it will. Then once they have all the trans people rounded up they’ll target the gays, then the blacks, the mexicans, and so on and so forth until everyone’s in camps that isn’t white.
Republican supporters won’t wake up to this until they start coming after the stupid and obese.
You're not safe even if you're white. If nothing else they'll target people who like the color blue just to keep some "enemy" in their sights.
White people are just further down the list of easy targets. At that point they'll start by hair color and nitpick their way down from there.
Fascism requires an "other" to function. Once one "other" is a destroyed there will always be another one to take it's place.
Blonde and blue eyes only?
As long as they don't have any lefty thoughts. Don't forget that the Nazis also put unionists, socialists and communists in camps.
Interesting how that never gets talked about...
You mean the fact that the biggest initial source of support the Nazis got was from the emerging business class who were scared of the rising influence of labor unions? Can't imagine why that gets pushed under the bed.
Not like we had that nearly happen here in the US or anything though. Just don't look into the Business Plot or that many of the Jan 6thers turned out to be small business tyrants...
Just remember that the most dangerous Nazis aren't the skinheads on the corner but the ones on Wall Street.
Well SCOTUS went ahead and let them have their anti-abortion laws, what else are they going to get their people distracted by? It was always going to be a never ending harassment of "others" leading to the spiral down into hell, SCOTUS just broke the seal for them to do it legally.
they'll never target the stupid, those are the people who will support them no matter what. They're already trying to demonize intelligence and education.
the bar for what counts as stupid enough will continue to lower, though.
"The bill – endorsed by president Joe Biden..."
Why in the world would Biden support this Heritage foundation garbage?
'Kids Online Safety Act' will deliberately target trans content, senator admits
He's a granddad. We shouldn't have granddads who can't work a remote be president. I assume he can't work a remote.
This IS Biden. He's always been a pretty bad human person. The only silver lining is that he's been better than most recently. He's a center-right politician just like most Democrats.
Are you starting to see the cracks in the foundation? Are you starting to see how the game is played?
This is actually a fantastic example of typical politics, but not in the way you're imagining. It's a classic poison pill. Write a bill with something good (protecting children's privacy online, which I think we'd all agree is good) and then put something unpalatable into it (transphobia and homophobia).
Someone votes for it, "Why do you hate LGBT people?" Someone votes against it, "Why don't you want children to have stronger privacy laws on the Internet?"
It's exhausting and a lose-lose. That said, I prefer if they don't vote for it and take heat for "being anti privacy". You don't negotiate with people's rights.
Is it protecting children? Claims need evidence and rules need tests. Until we do that its fear-based, exploitable control for the sake of control.
Government doesn't run on the scientific method, sadly.
Yeah that's the problem with legislation like this. You'll have proponents claim it protects children without actually explaining how.
The only cracks here is that the senate are all a bunch of olds who don't understand the internet.
This tbh...
They fear what thy don't understand...
$$$$$$$$$$
Are you not at all familiar with the man and his political history?
Because he is an old senile man
"Trans porn must be curropting children because it's all I watch now and my mind is way stronger than a child's." -Marsha Blackburn
...and my mind is stronger than a child's...
It's not though. It really, really isn't.
I mean, at this stage you can tell that by the name.
These deplorables love children so much that they don’t even bat an eye at using child sexual abuse as a political tool while simultaneously turning a blind eye to 300,000 children raped by clergy.
It should be the parents' job to regulate what kind of content their children consume on the internet, not the government's.
This isn't about protecting kids it's about banning LGBT persons from the internet.
Yep exactly as we all knew.
She wants to confine children like I was to the years of confusion and alienation I had to go through. That’s cruel. I should not have had to feel so alone and nobody else should either.
It is more than just cruel. It is abusive and genocidal. LGBT youth will die because of this law and the countless others being passed in certain states.
Oh absolutely and they’ll likely try to punish those who try to save them
Not a surprise. That is the intention.
How about we go after the real threat, churches.
Why is it always the Save The Children Act and not the Erradicate Trans People Act?
Kind of like Citizens United, has a better ring than "Politician pay offs".
We need to harm the children to help the children don't you understand?!!?!?!
Its not a bug, its a feature.
This woman is the literal devil...
