They want to protect free speech, by creating an enforced list of banned words?

[–] dev_null@lemmy.ml 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Well, they want to ban these words from appearing in laws, not from being used by anyone. So I guess it only deprives the government from free speech.

It makes sense, recently in NC we unbanned gender-affirming care for Government funded medical programs, as the Judge ruled that since the legal team arguing in favor of the unban showed that trans healthcare is not substantially more expensive (for insurers) than everyone else's and there was enough evidence to show that the care could not be considered elective under these cirucmstances, that discrimination was the only possible motive for barring it and since those arguing in favor of the ban had no arguments that hadn't been debunked..... the ban was lifted and now Government Funded Medical Programs in NC HAVE to cover Gender Affirming care

If the Judge wasn't allowed to talk about LGBT Discrimination, and was forced to frame it in terms of "States Rights" then the ban wouldn't have been lifted

It was the lie created by the Nazis, and they obviously knew it was a lie.

Ya wanna elaborate there buddy? Nazis lie all the time

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It was an invention by Adolph Hitler himself, coined the big lie (grosse lüge), a lie so big that people wouldn't believe someone would/could make such a big lie, hence they'd believe it.

I'm probably not explaining it very well, here us a Wikipedia link to get you going:

Cheers and fuck all fascists, btw!

If this were reddit, you would be flagged for inciting violence against political groups.

But this isn't Reddit, this is Lemmy where we're allowed to have functioning fucking brain stems and don't need to coddle people literally trying to murder half the population.

Thanks! Big help, reading material and historical facts like this are the innoculation against falling for Far Right Ideology! Keep fighting the good fight!

Edit: Wow Hitler actually had Germany thinking the Holocaust was a Counter-Genocide in order to negate the Jewish Genocide of German people, which wasn't even fucking happening to begin with? That... sadly tracks...

Ha ha yes guess who would flag it.

All the extremists/fascish/religious extremism/... have had lots of their power taken away (history before for example 1900 is wild if you read between the lines. Just Horrible.), so they try to make smart talk where like 90% makes sense.

And thank you, I'll try keeping fighting!
