I imagine there's other precedents that could be pointed to saying "Giving someone advice on how to do crime isn't protected by free speech rights" but what if you said something about abortions as a citizen of a state where it's legal, on a forum hosted in a state where it's legal, not really directed towards anyone in particular?

The obvious parallel (not meaning to compare them on any level other than just legally) is marijuana. Some US states it is legal, some it is not. I have no idea: is there any legal implication to someone in a "it's legal" state advising someone about buying marijuana in a "it's not legal" state? Even if the advice is simply "come to our state & buy it"?

This is why they should move the internet to another country

How many tubes would we have to move to do that?

I'm reminded of a case I read about in one of the Central American countries where a 9-year-old girl was denied an abortion (the pregnancy was the result of incest). The girl died, as her body was too immature to carry and birth a baby. Of course the Catholic church officials in that country had clear consciences and felt no remorse for their part in the death of this girl. After all, it's all about the fetus, and the girl's own fault for getting pregnant, right?

Actually, as I've been posting in the Americas (sic) thread, the dictatorships here have begun to outgrow the need to hide behind churches and are banning them outright on accusations of gunrunning, or dissolving opposition parties because if they're Evangelical Christian then they should be homophobic –literally–.

So we're going from bad to worse, if anything, because we are seeing that, as in the US, the separation of church and state has been solved by turning the state into a church.

A church that worships the white race and wants nothing to do with the Lord.

Yes yes, more obsessed with whiteness than the klan. This place is.

Yeah, it’s almost like we are living in the global fallout of 500 years of colonialism and racialized slavery or something.

 

[Farm Boy]

I know, rite?

The Klan is much less dangerous than the Republican Party, objectively speaking.

 

[Farm Boy]

And the least of the three evils on the table, I guess, then.

Am I to understand you consider the Klan to be less dangerous than the Democratic Party, then?

 

[Farm Boy]

It's your bonkers comparison to begin with. So, no. That's on you. But.. <nasally voice> "If the Klan is stipulated as objectively less dangerous than the Republican party through sheer ability, then yes, the Democratic Party certainly fits the bill as objectively more dangerous, too."

The "lord" is all about his chosen people (as is allah). The idea about universal love within western religion is a recent phenomenon.

It's got headwinds to gain against. So put your lips together and blow.

Just take the immediately preceding statement and keep reading.

Identity politics have crept up on the issue, to no one’s surprise. Sweeping statements have been made about whole groups of people in both threads on abortion. Just... not good.

I am sure such sweeping statements had nothing to do with the alienation of working class white men from the Dems in the Clinton v Trump election. The one that put republicans in a position to push thru multiple SC appointees. Surely, nothing to do with a 10pt shift in all those sparsely populated counties.

Oh yes, it's a secularish weird thing. It's like a very dark parody of humanism in which some are more human than others and 0 is an accepted value in human-o-meter.

I didn't realise they were all CFC posters!
