Sounds more like 1 guy slipping by reading raunchy literature, while 100 guys get 10x sentences for anything more serious.

It is mysterious becuase it looks like you're grouping "reeducation camps" and "lockdowns" together on the basis on how legally similar they are - not on how horrible the experience is.

If there is no such thing as having the wrong sexuality for one's body, it does not look like a contradiction or "interesting" to me that attempts to change it are akin to conditioning a dog to flinch when it sees its formerly favorite treats.

The consequence is that I saw it (or foresaw it), and I saw that it was good. These issues bring joy to my heart whether I accept that it's the prosocial genetic instincts and memetic indoctrination, or I don't - and choose to convince myself of religious stimuli instead.

So 65% of Twitter are cooperatebots who don't think rationally about the specifics of the choices presented? Could be worse. I for one am thankful for such people because in real life "just save yourself bro" isn't always possible.

For one, that comment of yours was blatantly false. There's no such thing as "just" telling people to not drink Bud Light, the context of doing so is common knowledge. I would expect more awareness of that on the forum where leftist causes are routinely delved into for any sort of covert allegiance with communism/leninism/pedophilia and whatnot.
Were I a mod there I'd ban you not even because you're a "heretic", but for feigning ignorance.

I want to ask: why are we listening to interviews given by spies of all people, anyway? We know those are the people whose job literally is (or was, if you believe they really aren't an asset anymore) to lie and deceive. What utility could be gained from hearing them speak, other than finding out what it is that their handlers want you to believe?

The special meaning of the original is that it's the original. Being made by the artist's own hands is the point. This isn't a new development in art.

Were Israeli fighters using the festival as cover? In any case, it wouldn't be justifiable to rape and pillage the civilians there.
I am saying you're anti-dan is making implications that there was a net increase in child molestation because of overly permissive LGBT policies without evidence.

It makes sense to speak against lockdowns because they were actually harmful in ways you can describe, like the guy above with his children who couldn't do speech therapy with masks on, or because they were dumb and unproductive/counterproductive towards their stated goal. Or it makes sense to speak against the government for moving the goalposts and Fauci-ing it up.
Tophattingson on the other hand, the whole idea I get from his posts, is all about how they're bad because they're somewhat like imprisonment according to its dictionary definition, and imprisonment is against human rights as written by libertarians, and therefore they must be the Worst Evil Ever. I cannot help but associate this kind of legalesthetic thinking and tunnel vision with sovereign citizens.
I would be prepared to forgive and forget if they were taught as a ‘never again’ moment and written into history books as the worst human rights violations in the modern west
Do you honestly believe they were the worst human rights violation, or is it just a condition for forgiving and forgetting?

Was it mentioned in Pact/Pale at all that gods need belief? Sounds like they gain power from acts of worship, particularly ones that sacrifice something or give them claim over something (a mark on the body, for example).
Based on the knowledge on Pactverse gods and the divine practices shared in the story, I'm led to believe that the vastness of Abrahamic religions works against their God(s). "I am what I am", what kind of definition is that? Here on this forum, when that kind of definition is applied to the concept of a woman, people laugh it out of the room.

Because (and when) I can be sure that the current government will treat me better than the other guys.
The other guys marching in with tanks and artillery seems to make people less assured that they'd be better than the current government.

I would like to see the reactions of various groups if the left one day said "you know what? fine, sexuality is a choice, and we're going to give children a choice to go to a straight->gay conversion camp, complete with all the features of gay->straight conversion camps".

There are no guarantees in life, and most people hope for the best. But if you have no hope for the better, and still go through - you're just making another sacrifice to Moloch.

Handpicking the most outrageous content isn't "just" holding up the mirror. Indeed, if the only thing necessary to denounce the Wrong People was to let them talk, there would be no need or demand for sneer outlets of all varieties.

A “thinking atheist” would not simply do what others tell him. That’s my point.
Why not, if he finds that he prefers the world where he followed the rules over the one where he didn't? You're just substituting an edgelord psychopath for a "thinking atheist". But even psychopaths understand the value of good habits and good reputation, especially thinking ones. And while religion did take over as the substrate of prosocial memes for a long time, I see no reason to view it as the origin.
Suppose I really do believe that prosociality as I see it will lead to maximal flourishment of humanity, including, yes, more pleasure.
War is where we're at our most buglike.
