Why do the right and left think authoritarianism and cancel culture are good ideas?

[Deserter3]

Whenever they try it there's a counter-revolution. The Satanic panic and George W. Bush era made people shift to atheism and the left. Then atheists and leftists became to militant and they shifted back to the right. And now the right is starting in again by advocating for digital ID, porn ban, shoving Christianity down our throats, etc.

Small people like to force their will upon others. This is why a true "liberal" does not care what you say, or do, so long as it does not violate the rights and just laws that govern and protect the all citizens equally.

Too often, whether ideologically left or right, people tend to what to "purify" the culture to what they believe is ideal, and make excuses for why censorship or discrimination is a good thing.

following the law isn't authoritarian

digital ID is no different to regular ID except you can't lose it

porn ban is a good thing overall in the long run though there is no ban

I don't see Christianity being shoved down our throats, I only see Christians no longer being afraid to speak up and speaking up more isn't cancel culture

lol calm down

I'm not religious but I'm not one of these haters of religion either

[Deserter3]

I'm not hating, tf?

[Opinion Owner]

you just called me a zealot and told me to fuck off

I'm not being hostile nor trying and here you are being hostile immediately and assuming my beliefs

[Deserter3]

By echoing the christian persecution complex? Gimme a break...

[Opinion Owner]

where's the persecution complex?

did you or did you not call me a zealot and told me to fuck off?

[Deserter3]

"Speaking up" is code for shoving your beliefs down people's throats and expecting not to get pushback. If I'm wrong than speaking up regarding what?

[Opinion Owner]

nobody is stopping you from giving pushback

and most of what you think may be Christianity being shoved down our throats isn't even Christianity, it's just common sense i. e. there are only 2 genders or people showing basic decency

[Deserter3]

Yeah no, wouldn't characterize that as Christianity. Porn ban, telling unbelievers they will burn, puritanism is what I mean

[Opinion Owner]

the porn ban is just a made up Democrat hoax they pulled in the election to try and get the male vote

as far as telling unbelievers they will burn, I'm not seeing or hearing where this is happening outside of very niche communities and it sure as hell isn't mainstream

puritanism I'm hearing is more so in red-pill circles than Christian circles mostly in regards to hoeflation and the dating scene

[Deserter3]

1. No it isn't, prominent right wingers are pushing it.

2. Your ignorance doesn't mean it isn't happening.

3. Uh no, redpillers are promiscous if they can be.

[Opinion Owner]

1) like who? Trump? Vance? I don't particularly care if it's banned or not but there's good and bad points to banning it

2) I never said it wasn't happening. it's just not mainstream

3) red-pillers aren't a monolith. the promiscuous ones are likely PUAs, every other group is less promiscuous but there is a ROI and hoeflation problem that needs to be addressed

News to me!! I never heard anyone from the right say that!
