That's an unfair characterization.
It's not just the things they don't like that can't happen...it's also the things they do like that must happen! See, for instance, prayer in school. (Separation of Church and State only applies to satanic stuff or something, idk...)
And there were also Jewish supporters of the literal nazi party. So what?
"What? This group of fascists has absolutely nothing to do with that group of fascists. This group's ancestors fought that group."
You aren't free to do anything unless we live in the wild. Society is built on the premise that we work together and place restrictions on certain things where we can live in harmony. But it is an ever evolving set of rules, and just because the law says so does not make it just, slavery was a law, apartheid was a law, the purge in a fictional America is a law. So I believe we must constantly evolve our laws with reason, to allow as much freedom in society even at an individual level, where society can grow and lead to the most benefit for the majority of people
society can grow and lead to the most benefit for the majority of people
It's a bit more complicated in real life. Who decides who gets freedom, some religious fundamentalists or rich oligarchs? Also, does that mean we should allow human sacrifices in the name of reproduction?
Yeah it is a hard question, like can be argued that there are too many people for the society and they need to be purged. Yeah I do not have a good answer but I think my point is rather that freedom isn't freedom, just agreed confines in society that is ever evolving, that in my opinion should be based in reason, and it is society's duty to use the correct reasoning.
Like you mention allowing human sacrifices in the name of reproduction. The question is a bit loaded but reasoning can be used, what is human sacrifices? We do allow the death of certain individuals in certain societies, soldiers in war, criminals in execution, children that do not have access to resources like, shelter, food or medication. Can smoking and drinking be seen as a violation of life, since it slowly takes it away, what about unhealthy food or even drugs, does any vices like gambling or sex seen could be threatening to the quality of life. You see how life actually is valuable to a certain degree in society but then there is also a freedom to throw it away. There are reproductive rights, should everyone have a right to have children? What if this person is 7 years old? What if this person already had all their children taken away due to incest and molestation on multiple occasions. Can you abort whenever like at 8 months or 1 week or is it when two gametes form an embryo. What if it is a non-viable embryo, what if this embryo implanted itself in a place outside of a womb and abortion in this instance will save the mothers reproductive organs to have future successful pregnancies.
There are very few things that are black and white in this life, very very few, so I believe there should be an ongoing discussion and that laws should follow reason and compassion for the vulnerable, that laws must constantly change, especially the laws, decrees, holy texts that invested people say should never change no matter the reason
You aren’t free to do anything unless we live in the wild.
I think that would solve a lot of the problems if that was still something you could do. I think a lot of people yearn to live in the 'wild' without realizing all the downsides that come with that and I think that thought is more popular because that's just not an option in today's world. And, I mean like the real wild, no laws, no government, etc.
Even if you do happen to live in the wild, god's followers are looking for you
Seriously, I live in Oregon. We've got lots of men with long hair, beards, and pink shirts.
Pretty sure that's a non-binary or non-gender conforming person.
To add to this, there are some cis women who grow facial hair (usually because of PCOS) and just rock it.
.......maybe it's a trans man. Or just a dude who likes magenta because it's expressive.
So Trump supporters aren’t allowed freedom?
Freedom to what?
They can’t even express themselves with some mild felonies without the threat of jail.
This isn’t the America I grew up in.
I want the freedom to break into people's houses. I mean it's only a mild felony I shouldn't have to go to jail for that.
This is how you sound.
I responded to that an hour ago.
Sorry, but freedom to what? They keep yelling about removing freedoms from other people so they can enlarge the freedoms they already have into the comfort of dominance so they never find themselves mentally challenged by the empathy required to understand other people's desire to also be free.
Nobody is saying Trump supporters should be jailed, lose their jobs, be denied medical services, not be allowed to use common public amenities, be ejected from municipal councils while following the rules required to allow those government bodies require to function and nobody is mass shooting gatherings of Trump supporters... But those are all things Trump supporters have called to do or have done to other groups of people. Trump supporters have only met the personal resistance of people civilly disagreeing with their political views, something entirely mundane and to be expected in a free society where people are allowed to have unique political opinions. So how exactly are Trump supporters not free?
And I am sorry but commiting crimes already on the books as crimes don't count.
Damn they were right, these comics are consistently awful. Is this person making a living from them? Blows my mind.
I'm with you. They're literally designed to polarize and demonize, except that half the audience they're mocking isn't present, and the other half already agree... so its literally just spreading hatred instead of awareness.
Its low effort and cheap is what I'm saying, even if I obviously agree with it
What makes them awful?
There's never a joke, it's only ever "here's an opinion you already agree with, now upvote and feel smug for being part of a morally superior in-group" - it's like Fox News for Tumblr-style "liberals" or whatever you want to call them. In other words, what makes them good? It's just pabulum, dry toast, chewing gum for the eyes. Couldn't be further from art, it doesn't inspire anything.
People love b8
Yeah, awful as in, bland.
Yes. Lazy drawing.
