Well, when your “Christian” morals don’t allow you to get an abortion, you gotta find ways for “God’s Hand” to intervene for you!

“Keep talking,” Patel wrote. “It means I’m doing exactly what I should be doing. And no amount of BS you write will ever deter this FBI from making America safe again and taking down the criminals you love.”

Having to assert weirdly that news orgs “love” criminals to deflect for your actions is just sad, bro.

Stop it. Get some help.

State-level bills have heretofore only required OSes to ask a user if they are of majority age. A federal bill is likely (based on the groups backing and who proposed it) to require OSes to validate (i.e. have users prove, not just assert) their ages.

Depending on what mechanisms are mandated, and who they target punishment at, it could lock 99% of users (who are not willing or capable to use means to bypass this) into tying all their actions online to a government-run database.

It’s not enough that means to bypass it exist; the government shouldn’t be able to mandate this kind of control, and shouldn’t be propagating the expectation that this behavior and level of control is normal or acceptable.

This is something I see my partner’s high school students having to deal with now: the suspicion that competence or intelligence must indicate AI use. It feels like when dumb film writers or directors make non-MC character unbelievably dumb to make the MC look smart (cough BBC Sherlock cough), but applied to real life.

There’s a combination of poverty, shame, and (misogynistic) cultural narratives that makes Hungarian men very susceptible to manosphere-adjacent toxic masculinity. They actually have their own Hungarian-language mini-manosphere, mostly on TikTok. They need a real economic change before anything else can happen, because (just like with the US) conservatism is great at finding external groups for people to foist blame for their problems on. When you remove those problems, (i.e. increasing education, increasing wealth, increasing access to healthcare, etc) people become less conservative.

He’s a “center-right” nationalist, instead of a far-right authoritarian Identitarian, at least.
