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

Not pissed enough to actually do anything about it, mind you.

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

My brother in Christ, I have covid right now

Honestly that’s been a bit of a plus in the sense I’m spending much less time scrolling mindlessly on my phone. Of course I’d prefer that reduced time to be of a higher quality but the pros outweigh the cons for me

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

Laws don’t apply to the rich my dude, we know this. Besides, if it were illegal to meddle with foreign states, there’s a laundry list of US administrations that would be guilty of that

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.

Just finished reading a book on slavery - current estimates are anywhere from 30 to 50mil people are still enslaved across the world in 2023.

You’ve missed the point - the world is moving on and cretins like the administration at BYU need to get the point. These motherfuckers don’t believe in evolution…that alone indicates they aren’t fit to educate. Fuck BYU and the LDS
