    Lol checked reddit-logo and they’re like “uhm actually, it only overturns talk therapy. So actually this is a win for liberalism.”

    Liberals’ obsession with “free speech” so long as it literally isn’t illegal-to-say or anything positive of communism is the funniest shit, if it didn’t result in the worst things. It IS legal to tell gay kids they’re going to hell and that they would be stoned to death in a biblical world. It is NOT legal to say to any elected official the same. This is a very wise and beautiful world view.

      “this incremental and small change is consequential actually. we’re making a difference! now we can just keep finishing the job!”

      “wait what do you mean no one wants to go any further than this and keeps telling me that i’m the real radical. how could this have happened.”

      the problem with liberalism is that it makes one’s myopic desire for good vibes into the one and only virtue. people sometimes overcome their liberalism when policies that do not go far enough to alleviate their issues are championed as the highest reasonable possible policy, outside the bounds of which one must be a traitorous radical to advocate for.
