    Hey maga people, remember when you were really concerned about free speech and people being canceled for “just voicing their opinion”?

    Pepperidge Farm remembers.

        It’s about freedom of their speech and their freedom to control yours.

        Same as it ever was. “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

      Roseanne Barry just kicked DeNiro off of some show she’s doing for being “woke.”

      Of course, every MAGAt is cheering and not a single one is screaming about how um actually it’s illegal to not do business with someone you don’t like, like they do to us.

      People who abuse and manipulate their family also have social media, which they use to abuse and manipulate society.

      They’re a certain type of person and for a lot of people, social media is their first real experience with these patterns of behaviour that were usually hidden behind closed doors.

      But for anyone who grew up in an abusive home and broke the cycle, it’s instantly recognisable.

      The tricks and motivations don’t change. They want to dictate how everyone around them looks, acts and thinks. If anybody gets it wrong, they lash out at them and try to hurt them physically or emotionally.

      Everything that comes out of their mouths is just a means to that end. Things like logic and consistency don’t even enter into it.

      They have no qualms at all about deliberately misinterpreting “freedom of speech” so they can say what they like, then handwaving it away so they can prevent others from doing the same.

      Except they’ve never hidden the fact that their “free speech” only applies to their opinions and they have never even once endorsed anyone else’s right to voice their own opinions. Apparent in the fact that they consider things like LGBTQ+ advocacy, where members of that community express their opinions and exercise that right, to somehow be an active suppression of their free speech because, well because they disagree with the LGBTQ+ community and their messages so they don’t think they should have the right to express it.
