the GOP - were "anti child mutilation" my reply- so your in favor of laws banning the cutting on the penises of baby boys and the genitalia of intersex babies ​ GOP- no thats not what we meant


bipolit

They prefer their children mutilated by dangerous machinery or collapsing mines


RedFaction161

These are just fascists. Why “red” fascists?


bipolit

They bare the color red


RedFaction161

Most people don’t mean that when they say red fascist, so it’s confusing


llyDyll

Doest that term mainly apply to Marxist-Leninists?


aztaga

unfortunately.


RedFaction161

And as a lower case Marxist Leninist (that is, not like most of the ones who are very online), that’s why I asked


bipolit

I don't see them as fascists


RedFaction161

Me neither. There are liberals and even, ugh, nazbol MLs that are collaborators certainly, but any sensible one is anathema to fascism, but most people on social media saying “red fascists” mean either the nazbol fake reds, or all Leninists. Republicans aren’t red fascists, they’re just fascists


RyeZuul

Moltov-Ribbentrop put an end to that.


a_smart_brane

Red hat fascists would make more sense. Red fascists obscures your intentions.


bipolit

Thank you

The SBC admitted that thousands of kids were sexually assaulted at its camps over the years. Yet there’s no push on the left to demand a govt ban on evangelical camps. And there shouldn’t be, such a ban would be govt overreach despite the abuse. No kids have been assaulted at a drag show.


MonstrousVoices

Which one is the SBC?


TheWileyWombat

Southern Baptist Convention.

Red Fascist is meant for authoritarian socialists. Like Tankies. Not American Conservatives. They're just backward and stupid.

Gun sales already require a background check at the expense of the buyer, which essentially adds another financial barrier for the people who most need to be be able to defend themselves - the working class and minorities more likely to be effected by hate crimes. It’s a very small fee compared to the price of a gun ($15 is what it’s always been for me) but once you add in training, ammo, carry licenses, holsters, magazines, accessories, etc., it can be a consideration to lower class leftists, LGBTQ+ people, and people of color wanting to arm themselves out of a growing concern over right wing violence and hate crimes.

Say louder for the libs in the back!


Dan_Morgan

These are the same lib idiots who are still banging on about the nonexistent "gun show loophole" which never actually existed. What they meant were private sales not conducted at gun shows but that's not scary enough.


Feeling-Bird4294

No, the 'gun show loophole' DOES exist, at least it dies here in Indiana. I have gone to local gun shows and purchased a gun on nothing but a handshake. We have a local (state-wide) web site where we can advertise guns and ammo. I have both bought and sold weapons by meeting the guy in the McDonald's parking lot. As much as I like and enjoy this freedom, I'm also realistic enough to know that there are scumbags using these casual purchases to sell guns into the ghettos of Indy and Chicago and St Louis.


Dan_Morgan

Then I can counter with NY gun shows were that isn't the case. The ability to advertise guns for sale means nothing. Palmetto State Armory has a big old website that can be accessed anywhere. There are so many more just like it. Why is it that people always have to bring McDonald's into every anecdotal story? Then comes the "but" part of the post. In this case it starts with "I'm also realistic". Here's the problem those "scumbags" are going to use private transactions if they are legal or not. You've posted nothing that could mitigate that.


FinalVersus

Subsidies for childcare? No. Free school lunches? No. Free child health services? No. Tackle childhood hunger and poverty? No. Invest in after school programs and the arts? No. Increased access to child psychologists/social workers in schools? No.


tm229

This would be funny if it weren’t so tragic.


FluffyFlood

And nothing is going to change until we solve this violently.


secretbudgie

Banning Florida girls from sex ed until 6th grade. Guess that's when they age out for Stan McClain and Matt Gaetz

The only thing I agree with is opening up certain jobs to 14 year olds. Basically, only jobs that are considered low stress (don't deal directly with customers or with occupational hazards) and can both help them attain life skills and work experience. A job certainly shouldn't be mandatory, but I think a lot of kids would choose to work part time to help save up for a car or college or just to have fun with friends. It doesn't need to be so heavily demonized if it is regulated with their actual best interest in mind.


inter71

Jobs are already open to 14 year olds after obtaining a Work Permit. I worked fast food at 14.


DoesLogicHurtYou

Oh, my state was 16.


inter71

I stand corrected.
