Strangle

I don’t think I would ever mistake you for a capitalist

Sorry, didn’t you change the subject when you said that? I said almost word for word what you already said lmao

Are you okay, man? I was following YOUR lead

I’m not confused about the judgment

You left wingers should rename yourselves the ‘groomer’ party

As long as we agree on that

I wasn’t talking about the ruling. I was talking about how people in here feel about kids accessing pornography

My question was for a purpose, but it wasn’t disingenuous. I seriously am concerned that lemmy users might not think there’s anything wrong with kids seeing pornography.

I don’t think that this law should go into effect, but that’s also not what I asked. I asked nothing about the law or the ruling, because I already agree that this isn’t the solution.

What I was worried about was that we might not be aligned as to why it wasn’t the solution. Or that there was even an issue at all to solve.

And like I said, the visceral negative reaction I’ve received even asking that question really tells me all I need to know.

Now voter ID just makes sense. When I walk up to a voting booth I say “my name is Strangle” and they cross me off the list and hand me a pencil. I could go the next town over and say “my name is SCB, give me a pencil”

That’s obviously fraud and it’s against the law, but if you were a corrupt politician, you could - let’s say - get a bunch of deceased people on the voter registration list, and then send some cronies to those booths claiming to be those people and manufacture votes that way.

Voter ID would go a long way to limit that kind of exploitation of the system.

Of course, this only makes sense if you actually want a legit election. If all you care about is going further and further left every election and going right at any point is a step in the wrong direction, you won’t understand that.

There are people who literally think anything, hook or crook, is worth it to stop a Republican from office.

That’s scary, cause people who think that think breaking the law or whatever (censoring news stories during an election and banning newspapers from Twitter) is justified because ‘democracy is at risk if we don’t elect a democrst’

So kids shouldn’t be exposed to pornography, right?

I’ve been thinking about it pretty hard over the past couple days.

There is nothing for me here, why would I bother keeping this app on my phone?

I hate lemmy users because of how stupid they are and how far left they lie thinking is. ‘Explaining’ a judgment to me doesn’t answer the question of “but we still don’t want kids exposed to porn, right guys?”

And the reactions I’ve gotten even asking that question really makes me read between the lines on this. Your answer of ‘well define kids and porno’ really really make me read between the lines.

Should be a pretty easy thing for everyone here to agree on, but it’s been a visceral reaction to dodge the question and downvote the idea, even.

That tells me all I really need to know.

I think you guys are misunderstanding my stance on this. I don’t like this solution either.

But I do want to make sure people are celebrating this for a reason that makes sense, and not because they don’t care if kids have access to pornography.

Because I do not believe that anyone is able to monitor someone else’s internet access exclusively at all times. Kids go to friends houses, or get friends devices all the time.

Pornography is accessible in places that are not exclusively pornhub.

You would have to block lemmy from your router if you had kids, for example.

Not many parents are even tech savvy enough to know that’s possible, or even what lemmy is.

This is not the right solution, but neither is slapping a label of 18+ on content.

It wouldn’t surprise me to learn that a lot of people commenting on this are just absolutely fine with children being exposed to inappropriate sexual materials online. Because lemmy’s user base skews hard to the left
