        Yeah most of my opinions are pretty traditionally liberal. I like this place because it seems like I am allowed to say my opinion without having to worry about a ban for not following the woke trend 100% to a tee.

          the “woke trend” is made up by US right wingers. since >30 years people were trying to be as tolerant as possible, so we can live peaceful and carefree and it worked. but they needed to polarize people, so they framed this a “woke” and agitated their followers against it. the people right wingers call woke never call themselves woke, because they are just tolerant and open-minded and that’s normal since the 90s. when you fight that progress of the last 30 years, you will end up in a boring depressing, disease ridden world again. a world in which people hide STDs, rapists are being excused and people who don’t feel well in their bodies or roles end up locked away in sanatoriums instead of paying taxes and contributing to scociety.

          • I 100% agree.

            I am absolutely liberal. I support all people that transition. It’s good for the economy. Hormonal drugs and surgical interventions are extremely expensive. This incurs a lot of taxes.

            I personally think those peoples decisions are stupid. But I also believe they are entitled to stupid decisions, just as I am.

              I’m in Canada. These operations are mainly covered by the taxpayer and does the opposite in our case. If they weren’t tax payer covered it would be a different story for my opinion in that regard

    At this point, I am paranoidly suspecting that a lot of this is some 5-d chess game, where the actual nazis are going “Because when everybody is a nazi… nobody is.” and some people just gobble it up despite their good intentions.

    You like egdy jokes? Nazi. You think that men that transitioned shouldn’t be allowed to compete in female olympics? Nazi. You played Hogwarts Legacy? Nazi. Your political views are set to right of the Karl Marx? Nazi.

    And then when people automatically suspect that a person being called a nazi is an overreaction they make the biggest surprised pikachu face.

      I’ve been rather vocal in saying it’s already too late. Be more specific. What kind of Nazi specifically. Neonazi? White supremacist? Proud Boys? Republican?

      As if the users want to see your hateful shit? You think it is the admins but if your way of thinking was mainstream you would have more users here instead of the same 5 guys with some alt accounts

        Who cares about mainstream? Mainstream is another way to say “retarded”. And if it’s the same 5 guys, why are you so bothered by it?

      • Cmon yobama. You need this as much as we do. Why else would you still be here? This is one of the few instances where you can be edgy without any concerns of being banned.

        And I believe that such a place is quite important.

        But… it isn’t that, Yobama.

        There’s a few funny trans memes here and there, but you guys had easily offended whiners literally combing through our forum trying to find stuff that they could list as offensive.

        One of them, for instance, was an actual news story presented without commentary about a woman in the UK being charged and convicted for aborting a near full-term baby posted under “Crime.” Someone had crossposted it to a category called ‘Baby Killers,’ maybe that is why people were upset… But literally one of the “shocking” instances from our Instance was a real news story with a real conviction presented without commentary.

        Some people just want to be offended.
