New Bill Would Make All Pornography a Federal Crime in the U.S.
New Bill Would Make All Pornography a Federal Crime in the U.S.
Republicans are drunk with power. What a stupid fucking idea. There’s no chance of banning porn. Then they wouldn’t be able to jerk to Trans women and feel shame after.
Trans women are hot, in case that reads as though the shame is correct. It’s not.
They don't intend to ban anything. They're just creating reasons to lock people up.
They are, to a man, insane authoritarian shitbags. All they care about is control.
The plan according to project 2025 is to classify trans people existing as pornographic. Wish I was joking. Been warning people about this for a year now.
Anything related to queer identities could fall under obscenity by whatever arbitrary definitions they want to use.
No more pride or rainbow flags, no support groups for queer youth, no sex education, all of that is obscene.
Basically everything they have to say on the subject is thinley veiled homophobia and should be treated as such
so just like Russia
Yup, it’s the typical conservative playbook: If you don’t like something, redefine it as something unpopular. Then target the unpopular thing, so democrats can’t oppose it without inciting “this democrat voted against a bill to protect/stop {sympathetic demographic} from {unpopular thing}” smear campaigns.
Step 1 was equating trans people with sexual predators. You keep that messaging consistent and constant. Find stories of trans people doing normal things, but spin it as if they’re dangerous. Invent stories if you need to, because debunking them takes a lot more time than inventing them…
They weren’t jogging in a neighborhood; they were casing the neighborhood. They weren’t using a public restroom; they were looking for people to sexually assault. They weren’t trying on clothes to see if they fit; they were looking to assault women and children in the changing rooms. They weren’t volunteering for the local women’s shelter; They were looking for defenseless victims. They weren’t writing a book for other trans people; They were indoctrinating kids and trying to turn them trans. Et cetera, et cetera…
Once conservative voters have started to accept that messaging, you move onto step 2:
“This bill will protect children from sexual predators” means it bans trans people from being able to pee.
“This bill will protect children from being exposed to dangerous sexual material” means it bans any kind of trans iconography by labeling it as porn.
“This bill will stop sexual predators from hiding in your neighborhood” means it requires trans people to register in a public database/wear a {pink triangle} badge.
“This bill will ensure sexual predators are kept away from the rest of the population” means it rounds trans people up into camps.
And if anybody ever tries to point out what the bill is really doing, put them on blast with the “radical left is trying to let sexual predators steal your kids and assault your women” messaging.
Sure would be nice if the not-as-conservatives could use their own tactics to flip the script on them.
I disagree that it's conservative. It's nazi/ authoritarian/radical. For 50 odd years afer ww2 the cons knew this was a daft tactic. Prior to that (well prior to 1790 ish ) con/feudal/landowners managed their serfs and peasants, they didn't want infighting. (outfighting, thats a different , maybe lucrative albeit lottery).
Cons are just common or garden cunts. populists are serious, they can mobilise labour .
The traditional cons wil ride the wave because they have no choice and no friends. until they realise they'll be expropriated eventually, which the nazis won't do until after they have critical mass. Fucking con Niemollers
In the 50 odd years after WW2, we saw them frame civil rights as communism and use the war on drugs to bomb and destroy black neighborhoods.
This is conservatism.
The original documents for project 2025 were released in 2017 well leaked in 2017. And it was talked about for about the day and disappeared and here we are.
It really made the rounds again in 2020, even to the point of breaking into the mainstream. Probably a lot more people are aware of it than you might think, it's just the doing something about it that we're all sticking on.
In 2020 we didn’t have to do anything about it. It was just another set of online nutcases, no one who could get elected would actually try that.
2025: hold my beer
I meant to say 2024, during the election. The past few years have been a blur to me.
Exactly. It's well known now.
It's unfortunately not. Go ask your (general) parents or grandparents what it is and what it means. Ask them if they think it's happening right now and to what extent.
I bet their answers will be surprising to a lot of people.
Project 2025 has been happening in Oklahoma since 2017. No one gave a shit when it was the asshole of the country, but shit spreads.
Y’all get to enjoy the suffering I’ve been enjoying for the past ten years.
Oh boy, I can't wait to find out if Oklahoma is a shining utopia, a guiding beacon of the future for the rest of the country.
I've got some bad news.
The text that became Project 2025 has been published every four years or so since the Regan administration.
That is the pragmatic and short term outcome, but I would not discount the level of power hard-line Christian nationalists have over the far right. Many of them believe "moral degeneracy" like porn is the most grave problem of western society and would be glad to "correct" it given the chance.
For-profit prison system goes, "Brrrrrrrrrr!!"
Please don't drag the insane down to this level. This is planned and intentional (even if there is factional opposition)
To be fair, Control is a pretty great game
It is.
We need more media to take advantage of the SCP Foundation. Movies, games, etc. Give the authors credit. Pay them. Because there's a whole lot of great stuff there.
SCP-001 "When Day Breaks" would make an incredible horror movie.
Oh definitely, 100%
