Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

And they've been hyper fixated on it ever since. A little weird if you ask me.

this guy's like 50 and he's submitting facebook-tier The One Joke posts to a state legislature
remind me why I'm supposed to respect this dumbfuck country again?
i'm starting to believe that i've been overestimating the intelligence of the enemy for a long time
You don't have to respect it, but you've got to admit they have an enormous number of armed chids with genocidal intent
Heavily armed (for a civilian population not involved in a civil war), incredibly stupid and extremely angry about their collapsing standards of living.

The Republican party respects 4chan more than the Democratic party respects the left.
Idea for a bit: accusing anyone who votes "nay" of being a horse furry.
McCarthyism but for furrys
Specifically accuse them of having horse fursonas and being into hyper and muscle stuff, maybe cock vore
Statistically the horse furries gravitate towards these fetishes in higher numbers
My lawyer has advised me to say that I have no idea what any of those terms mean.
My lawyer has advised me to stop contacting him with long explanations detailing precisely what these terms mean, with linked examples and diagrams

they're planning to call animal control on the furries
I feel like county level animal control may not be pleased with random schoolkids suddenly becoming their problem because some representative thought he was really funny
Okay so this is an onion article then

Love how they're like 
the kids think they're animals, this is insane!!! and then the bill literally provisions for the kids to be taken by animal services LOL
"We will bully all transfem students by making them wear frilly dresses and making them use the girls' bathroom" energy
"...who engage in anthropomorphic behavior commonly referred to as furries at school shall not be allowed to participate in school curriculum or activities"
I've a feeling it's not only furries being attacked...
anthropomorphic
The funny thing is this word literally means "having the form of a human" and abstractly it could cover a lot more than just furries.

My thought too. It's a gender affirmation bully bill hidden in a fur suit bill.
Nothing like being told "suck it up, buttercup" by people who think it should be a felony to do anything that mildly annoys them.
Like bro, how will you feel superior to anyone when anyone who elicits your feelings of superiority gets thrown in prison?
I was going to post this but I got so tired and bored trying to come up with something snappy about how saying things like
“We’re there to educate. We’re not there to teach sexual habits.”
regarding little kids meowing or playing at being a puppy dog is so incredibly perverse. And this joke has been ongoing for years now. Don't these people have any self awareness at all? It's like not even fun to point it out.
Eventually we will all be subjected to leaks of this guy's weird patreon subscriptions or something... He's the one introducing sex nobody else is.

I hold that it is bad as far as we are concerned if a person, a political party, an army or a school is not attacked by the enemy, for in that case it would definitely mean that we have sunk to the level of the enemy. It is good if we are attacked by the enemy, since it proves that we have drawn a clear line of demarcation between the enemy and ourselves. It is still better if the enemy attacks us wildly and paints us as utterly black and without a single virtue; it demonstrates that we have not only drawn a clear line of demarcation between the enemy and ourselves but achieved a great deal in our work.
The furry situationist theory is becoming more sound
Literal fursecution
Also how many tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars were wasted on the labor and materials required for this bill to go through legislature I wonder
For context, aren't there parts of Oklahoma that had to institute a 4-day school week because they literally couldn't afford to pay their teachers for 5 days of work per week? Which is only making their teacher drain worse, since a lot of teachers in Oklahoma move to Texas since the pay is much higher and Costs of Living are similar.

2036: The University of Oklahoma cancels all of its IT courses
the children yearn for the kennels
I'm out of the loop, are many children wearing fursuits to school these days? In Oklahoma?
I suspect it will be a higher number after this.
But since it was never an actual problem, doing something about it was never the point of a bill like this either.
some schools were putting cat litter in classrooms in case kids had to piss during an active shooter situation and somebody told republicans about furries

Who the fuck would this even affect?
Nobody is wearing a fur suit at school except for the mascot. Just a weird show of hate for someone different from him I guess.
