Just wait until they start banning porn. It's already started in some states tbh.

Canada almost had the same thing happen, but thankfully Poilievre didn't win PM, and even lost his seat too as a bonus.

Another conservative gave up their seat to prevent us being free of Poilievre.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago

He's in an intra-party dust up with Doug Ford, brother of the infamous crack smoking Toronto Mayor.

So its possible we'll get a porn ban if Poilievre comes out ahead. But we could alternatively get pole dancing as an elective and weed in the school cafeterias.

They literally can’t ban porn unless you turn off the whole internet.

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 3 points 13 hours ago

In my day we made do with porn we found in a box in the woods.

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Yup. That’s the next step. Rip smut.

What's the rationale behind this? Is it just pandering to religious freaks, or something else?

[–] EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

My guess is that it's a step towards banning anything considered "sexual" or "deviant." I.e., anything to do with LGBTQ people, sex ed, educating women about their bodies and rights, etc. Anything that the white patriarchy dislikes while also making it easier to subjugate the population through ignorance and propaganda.

Which leads to uninformed teenagers becoming pregnant, being forced to carry the child, and being stuck in poverty and ignorance for the rest of their lives as a result. This gives us uneducated workers and soldiers.

Every live baby is a potential dead soldier. And the more education is destroyed the more popular that path will be.

My guess is that it’s a step towards banning anything considered “sexual” or “deviant.”

Which is just a step toward banning anything that doesn't "glorify our dear leader."

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 4 points 13 hours ago

Is it just pandering to religious freaks,

That and increasing their authorization grip on society.

[–] KalSeth@lemmy.ca 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

well I am totally bored of the step brother genre.

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

If you’re bored of the same old, check out aliens, ware wolves, vampires and other species.

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 9 hours ago

ware wolves

Like wolves selling knives door to door or more like a flea market run by wolves?
