@victoriadecapua You should be far more concerned with this than with me!
@Free_Press yet the bible is probably allowed.
@alanthecampbell @Free_Press Why? It contains several parts of sexual explicit nature.
@agitatra @Free_Press indeed, plus violence up to and including casual global biocide.
@Free_Press
Sounds like the only thing to do is move house to somewhere sane. Republicans have lost all sense and reason.
@Free_Press They also did that when they were in power. In 1938, Hitler signed a law making it illegal for the Jewish population (and "criminals", wonder who that might be) to own or manufacture guns, while the Nazi organisations got a free pass in that same law.
@Free_Press
This is how to teach stupidity. Keep the populace dumbed down and powerless with no knowlege of how to fight back.
@Free_Press
That's how it begins: lock everybody up, who could get in your way.
@Free_Press hard to find book but if you get it it's eye opening. The protocols of the elders of zeon. Propaganda book from the 1930's Germans. You would instantly recognisable the talking points of today in that book. Every conspiracy theories from qanon is in that comes from that book. It's wild.
@chaosrsa Chris, thank you for your feedback. I'll definitely look for that book!
@Free_Press read back on my post. That was really broken English but I am glad you got the idea I was trying to convey.
@Free_Press great move! they don’t need to see that stuff and can discuss it with their own families.
@Free_Press Besides losing population. Fascists States will lose teachers, doctors, businesses and intellects. No one in their right mind will visit. Great way to keep poverty intact. #GOP
@Free_Press did Fascim ever go away? No it became neo Liberal politics...
@Seilenos @Free_Press I have just double checked it and seen that this list REALLY true. Unbelievable!!!
So I have posted the whole list as reading recommendations to my be friends
@Free_Press the pedoservatives think its abuse to teach a kid real science about the human body but is gods work if you actually fuck them and force them to give birth.
But sure lets all sit around the campfire and wish the faeries to magically make it go away with voting and laws …somehow while they are purchasing the justice system and rigging elections.
Sure that will work.
