I’m a conservative. I don’t mind the liberal stuff here. It’s good to learn the other side, but I don’t want a liberal echo chamber. I’d like to be more politically balanced in the fediverse. Is there any way I can do that?

      Personally I want to obstruct the right to murder schoolchildren that seems to have become prevalent but the rightwingers seem to think that’s an infringement.

          Free speech? The left want any speech they deem “hateful” to be censored, banned, and made illegal. They encourage and campaign for people to be deplatformed and banned from social media.

          Women’s rights? They want biological men to have access to everything that biological women do.

            Free speech? The left want any speech they deem “hateful” to be censored, banned, and made illegal.

            Explain. What speech do they deem hateful? Why is it not actuwlly hateful? And what are they doing to ban it or make it illegal? Also, where are these leftists? They’re certainly not in government.

            Women’s rights? They want biological men to have access to everything that biological women do.

            Such as? Also, what is a “biological man”? As far as I’m aware, biology has nothing to do with gender. It relates to sex, though. There are biological males, that’s for sure. So, it seems to me you’re just doing mental gymnastics to say trans women aren’t valid and are just. To sum up, you’re just reaching to be anti trans, and pretending this is an anti leftist argument.

            Also, i thought we were talking about the left? The left are more likely to ve on boars with trans people, true, and to be against hate speech. But the left are generally more about worker solidarity, unions, busting hierarchy and removing the state. Seems you have leftism confused for general progressivism.
