It’s attempting to break an illegal and genocidal blockade of necessary survival items. The fact that the blockade exists means they should respect it?

Look what they’ve already done: started thousands of conversations about it. It’s already mountains more than you or I have ever done to help the people of Gaza. Your opinion is ridiculous. But it also shows how necessary these actions are.

Because the US and UK are denying it and their worldwide media conglomerate mouthpieces are spreading disinformation. And every time Israel opens their mouth it’s to call people antisemitic for suggesting it.

What in the world kind of thinking is this? Yeah, there’s a war going on and Russia is targeting civilian centers and are clearly the invading aggressor, but that is not on the same level as the full blown genocide happening in Gaza/West Bank. The fact that they could easily get into Ukraine and deliver food…means they don’t have to. What.

There is an actual famine happening in Gaza. Starvation is being used as a weapon of war and attrition against the entire civilian population. There are only upsides to them trying this: either aid gets through and some people survive a little longer, or it doesn’t, and it proves to the entire world—that happens to be sitting on their hands over the genocide—that this is real and needs way more attention and pressure. What don’t you understand about that?

That’s not true necessarily. Of course they are highlighting the cruelty of the blockade, but I’m sure they’d be very happy to get in and see what’s happening—as well as distribute some food

Who? What did they say about it

So you got many explanations about people’s worries regarding the massive privacy and Internet freedom concerns…and you just decided they’re all addicted to porn? Makes sense you’re not on the right side of this issue if that’s how you reason

I think it’s more possible you and the pro- movement are catastrophizing the effects of porn than the claim we might be catastrophizing the potential effects of the bill.

We all grew up with access to porn. Whether that be nudie magazines that were somehow always found in the woods, or dial up Internet porn—hell, we all had access to rotten.com. That shit was far more scarring than any porn I ever found.

Whether the abuse of these censorship powers actually turn out to be as bad as we all imagine, or whether it’s the next tiny step toward censorship, or the one after that…the point is that these are all freedoms we shouldn’t be fine giving up. We shouldn’t be taking steps down this road no matter if this is the straw or the next will be the one to break the camel’s back.
