“#Libertarianism is being attacked because it does not support just reforming a few #government policies. Instead, it presents a formidable intellectual challenge to the entire welfare-warfare #state. The ultimate goal of those pushing for a crackdown on ‘domestic terrorism’ is to make people unwilling to even consider ‘radical’ ideas — to make people so afraid of certain ideas that they refuse to even give those ideas a fair hearing. Progressives who are tempted to support what is being promoted as a crackdown on right-wing violence should consider the history of government harassment of progressive movements and leaders such as Martin Luther King, Jr. What do they think a future right-wing authoritarian would do if given power to go after ‘ideological extremists’?”

I reclaim everybody’s right to #hate anything and anyone, and to publicly say so.
#Hatred (like love, scepticism, or indifference) is a private feeling which can’t, and shouldn’t, be regulated.
I can’t understand how #HateSpeech even became a thing. People express strong contempt for other people, for ideas, for groups, and for institutions all the time: against capitalism, communism, billionaires, Trump, the fossil fuel industry, whites, men, black, children, scientists, vaccines, theists, atheists, social media. Only the flimsiest of intellectual criteria justify polite society’s indifference towards (or even approval of!) most of those expressions of #speech, and hyperbolic outrage towards others.
Hating is not the same as hurting nor threatening to hurt. As always, it is physical violence (pardon the tautology), calls to violence, or credible threats of violence, what counts — and only that.
The polity doesn’t require that we align all our feelings — only some of our actions. That’s the spirit of a just #law.
Raising two small #kids is an emotional roller coaster: some days you feel overwhelmed and feel the temptation to run away or to kill everyone — and other days it’s bad.
«Contra la concesión de #indultos a los condenados por sedición en Cataluña, en apoyo al Poder Judicial, atacado por el Gobierno Sánchez, y en defensa de la igualdad ante la ley de todos los españoles, sin excepción.
Consideramos muy graves los ataques del Gobierno y de los partidos que lo apoyan -incluidos los separatistas empeñados en destruir la Nación-, a la división de poderes y a la igualdad ante la ley, indispensables en cualquier verdadera democracia. Vemos con alarma el progresivo desmantelamiento de funciones del Estado, reducido a mero soporte de un Gobierno irresponsable y sectario que pretende suspender la Constitución por la vía de los hechos consumados.
No pensamos tolerar pasivamente la conversión del chantaje en procedimiento político “normal”, como sucedería con la concesión de indultos a golpistas condenados que han manifestado su intención expresa de reincidir, burlando expresamente los informes contrarios del Tribunal Supremo y de la Fiscalía del Estado. Esos indultos no tienen otro propósito que conservar la mayoría parlamentaria para mantenerse en La Moncloa a cualquier precio.
Rechazamos la “normalización” de la injusticia, del vaciado de la Constitución y de los ataques a la unidad de la nación española y al Estado de derecho. Por todas estas razones, creemos llegada la hora de que la sociedad civil salga a la calle a manifestar su rechazo de la deriva política antidemocrática impuesta por quienes tienen la obligación de defender la Constitución y unión de la Nación española.»
Hypothetical #news about #BTC adoption by some country, sorted by decreasing desirability wrt #crypto PR and its potential:
That what I’ve been saying. Distrust this move by #ElSalvador government re #BTC. It’s not a net gain for the crypto community and their PR needs right now.
