"Indoctrination" is just a buzzword. What fascists really mean when they say "indoctrination" is just facts that they don't like. Teaching kids the fact that gay people exist is "indoctrination." I do think we should encouraging kids to ask questions and be curious, but some things are just facts. Gay people exist, the world is round, Switzerland is in Europe, trees grow upwards, and so on. So how come most Americans support LGBT rights? How come the Republicans got their cheeks clapped in the midterms? And I proved that you're wrong. Descendants has a hetero marriage with a son. Furthermore, virtually every Disney movie depicts heterosexuality in some form, such as Ariel becoming human so she can marry a prince. Media has been educating children on the reality of human sexuality since forever. It's only when there's a gay couple that it's an issue. First of all, we don't know if the people they consulted were left-wing. They could have been liberal, apolitical, or even conservatives who just thought publishing the books were a waste of money. Secondly, "cancel culture" is the idea that a crazy group of lunatics is demanding that something be censored. Cancel culture is not when a private company has a meeting with consultants about a few books that most people didn't even know existed. But you understand that is authoritarian, yes? The government is banning books from public libraries because they don't like the content. This is nothing like a private company choosing to stop publishing their own property.

Look, I know you're mad, conservatives get triggered really easily. But I asked you a pretty simple question. What traits must someone have to be a nazi? You posted a meme that seemed to say a nazi is anyone with progressive policies. Under that definition, Trump would be a nazi for claiming he wants to save social security. If I'm mistaken here, then stop being a snowflake, dry your tears, and answer the question. What exactly is a nazi? What traits make someone a nazi?

Schools are for education. Part of education is teaching kids about the real world. Like I said before, some parents may not like that the real world is made up of Protestants, Catholics, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, and so on. But too bad, children need to learn that other religions exist. Likewise, they need to learn that some marriages are people of the same gender, other marriages are people of different genders. And you can keep screaming "nobody trusts you" like a psychopath, but the truth is that most Americans support trans rights. That's why the Republicans got whooped in the midterms. The transphobia is a losing strategy. Get back here with those goalposts! Like I said, the movie Descendants has a heterosexual married couple with a son. Alright then, name a Disney movie that doesn't depict heterosexuality. Cinderella? Nope, she marries a prince. Snow White? Nope, also marries a prince. Ariel? Becomes a human and marries a prince. Are you noticing a pattern here? The gay couple adopted a child. There, I explained it. Sitcoms have been featuring main cast couples since the days of The Honeymooners and I Love Lucy. The latter even had a son. Was that GROOMING because it depicted heterosexuality and even a child that was the product of sex? No, because that's not the real issue here. The issue is homophobic weirdos who clutch their pearls over a gay couple being depicted as normal. Any evidence for that? So, in other words, there was no mob of people demanding the books stop being published. This wasn't "cancel culture," this was a private company deciding to stop publishing a few books after private discussions. Which was exactly my claim. I accept your apology. So here's the difference. In the Dr Seuss case, a private company is no longer publishing their own material. I disagree with the decision, but a private company can do what it wants with its own property. In the DeSantis cases, Republicans are banning libraries from renting out books that neither party owns. It's politicians using state power to censor people, as opposed to people choosing to not rent out their own material. It would be like if you wrote a book, but decided not to publish it, as opposed to you writing a book, publishing it, and then the government banning stores from selling it. The latter case would be authoritarian.

Whataboutism. And I don't know of any mainstream leftists that support the governments of Nicaragua or Venezuela. Name some left-wing politicians who have tried to pass laws that would limit speech. Don't name randos on twitter, name actual elected officials. They're reactionary, anti-democratic, and they're chipping away at free speech. What else do they have to do? Then what exactly is a conservative? The vast majority of people who identify as conservatives are authoritarian and have been so throughout history. Whatever conservatism is, it's certainly an authoritarian philosophy.

True. But why does Hamas have so much support? Do you think it could be because the people in Gaza are relying on them for survival? During WWII, there were Jews fleeing Nazi Germany and surrendering themselves to the Soviet Union. Why? Stalinist Russia was a horrible place. Why do you think Jews chose to migrate there anyway?

This is actually one of the reasons I encourage anti-fascists to buy guns. Not to protect ourselves from the government, since that's ridiculous. But we can protect ourselves from a Kristallnacht situation. The fascists who stockpile guns are lying when they talk about using guns to keep the government from becoming authoritarian. They're actually planning on using those guns against us.
