Yeah, it is more strict. Parents are bombarded with pedophilia news 24/7, same as kidnappings, bullying, deaths…

Meanwhile buisnesses are under constant threat of checks from authority and a lot of legal threat in case shit goes down the drain.

We made world safer, but also…dry and constricting. And then people wonder what’s up with generations becoming less social.

Patriotism at work. Trump does all he can to insult Canada, and if people who govern Canada would allow it, they’d be seen as weak leaders. What they need is to work towards cutting any dependency on USA while defending their country worth.

Also, Trump rules only thanks to his show. Getting bitchslapped like that does hurt him. ^^

On a call, I need to be constantly available and have that stupid mask of happy, springy person.

On text, I can chill out. Modulating text is easier and also I don’t really need to do this that much, because people can’t read tone hints in text anyway.

This isn’t WWII, we aren’t in war. By letting go of free speech you are letting goverment tell you what is ok to talk about, and by doing that you allow them to expand taboo. In times of need like today, that is necessary evil, however normally that is something out of horror.

For example, whether you agree or not, at the end of WW II communism was seen as almost as bad as nazizm, and in USA I think, may be wrong, that it was seen as worse. What’s bad is that every social policy is coupled with it mentally. If free speech wasn’t a thing, USA could tell it’s citizens that talking about nazizm, communism, social policies or unions is strictly forbidden under threat of, at least, financial fine.

While without context I’d agree that banning a gesture is a bit much, especially with such steep measures, I think that in a world when one of the de facto co-leaders of major if not the main world superpowers openly does nazi salute twice, we need to up the guard and cut this shit in the bud.

And as you said - we don’t know how to solve USA becoming a nazi state rapidly. Nobody does. And third reich ain’t gonna hold a candle to USA if they decide it’s time for blitzkrieg. So doingall we can to damage and reduce nazizm where we still can is admirable.

See, I am overall against any and all limits of free speech but…

Yeah. Context matters. And in current world context, good job Australia, hope outher countries take notes.

Call me a weirdo but honestly, that twist, if anything, can possibly actually make it easier to deal with? I mean it’s as abstract situation as it gets x_x

God dammit, you got me.

Welcome to Lemmy. We have only three topics - LGBT, Linux and USA politics ( lately rebranded to TrumpElon ).

Probably lack of evidence. Escalating without evidence will give China political leverage.

Also don’t not be not fat

Guys, tetris agrees with above guy…count the negatives…

It seems is key here. Lemmy is so left leaning that any case of such support is straight up glaring. Same even with more neutral things like patriotism - each time it’s out there, because it’s so different from the rest.

And then there’s few instances which flip it on the head from what I know…

Liar and thief, so fits. But dude stole enough (and then, prolly, earned second that through legitimate means) that he’s currently hella better choice than either of scums above.

Similiar, however I absolutely love walking fast. Hell, I am always trying to top my speed.

Except at work. Cuz then things get done too fast and I land at 10 on the scale. :(

Doesn’t work. My country gave around 15% of minimal pay per kiddo. People who shouldn’t have children had lots of them. People who should…had the same amount as before that. Slightly better finances tho, but they still waited till they were able to provide for child.

Old post but…if it’s just memory, you’d lose ttauma and other ingrained coping mechanisms, no? There’s no brain to try and fight back against things. Just memories making you…you…? Or not you, if you oose some of your behaviors?
