This is a post about conservative hysteria over homosexuality. Not everything has to be about how liberals betray communists, and right now and in the past there aren't many communist regimes who give homosexual people freedom to love whoever they like, so this is one policy area where the liberals you hate so much got something right better than the authoritarians. So yeah, you can fuck off with your both sides crap on this issue.
You carefully avoided any mention of your actual politics, whilst telling me off for not knowing yours. I don't know how you think in supposed to know.
You have a funny way of showing it, and I'm no clown, thank you very much, I'm just pissed off that so many people BoTh SidEs stuff where there are real differences.
But if you don't hate liberals, there's even less need to dive in with your false equivalence between the two American parties over homosexuality, one of the few issues where they do differ substantially. If you have a brain, use it.
Apologies for not researching your whole post history, but I don't see how that's relevant anyway. If its no big deal, why the fuck are you spending so much time and effort defending it, arguing with people who pointed out your error?
If you were capable of logic you wouldn't be trying to argue you were right when it was pointed out to you that in this context, on this issue, you are wrong.
Also, libertarianism is really really really stupid, so there's that.
Libertarianism is really really really stupid because in the real world no one pays for high quality roads, light rail network etc, safety nets for folks too ill to work or recently sacked through "reorganisation" etc etc etc unless they're forced to. Privatised healthcare sucks for most people except the very wealthy, same for education. Libertarianism puts no governmental checks whatsoever on the power of corporations, it's basically the rule of the jungle where the wealthy get freedom and the poor get slavery back. What stops corporations poisoning you for profits? I'll give you a clue, it's not competition. If you don't regulate, people die. Just because American governments are crap, doesn't mean governments are unnecessary. Individual liberty is a great concept, yes, but if nobody forces children to share and be considerate, they never learn it. For example, Elon Musk, Donald Trump.
No true Scotsman allows public infrastructure to decay, corporations to trample people's lives, capitalism to run unchecked, "states rights" to overturn Roe v Wade.
Airway, back to the original point: conservatives are stupid because they think that seeing gay men kissing turns children and teenagers gay.
Thanks chatgpt.
