Principles *mean* things. Religious freedom means religious freedom **for everyone**.

If people have criminal records, sure, fine, don't let them come in. Reasonable limits are fine.

But we can't claim to be "the land of the free" and ban people for thoughtcrime.

That's shitty and un-American.

The biggest flaw with the reactionary right is y'all don't have principles, you have teams.

You were praising Enlightenment values until I started quoting Enlightenment thinkers

and then suddenly it was all wrong and offensive because you thought I was saying it

lol

You're not the first overly confident white conservative man to roll up, smugly assured they'll own those libturds

and boy do y'all not enjoy it when someone knows how to deal with your bullshit lol
November 21, 2025 at 8:53 AM
Jesus fuck dude, stop whining. If you look bad, you did it to yourself. Nobody cares. Your participation in this conversation is entirely voluntary.

*I* think you're just not enjoying the cognitive dissonance that comes from someone actually listening to what you say and critiquing it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My man, what on earth do you think
I've been pointing out all this time?
November 20, 2025 at 6:40 PM
Also "You haven't shown that I don't" is very much not the same thing as "I do" lol
November 20, 2025 at 6:37 PM
Why must we allow others to choose also? Why am I under any moral compulsion to accept that this is what we ought to do?
November 20, 2025 at 6:35 PM
If you're going to use "enlightenment values" or "respecting the 1A" as criteria, I expect you to also abide by that criteria.

If you don't, I'm gonna question your _actual_ reasons
November 20, 2025 at 6:33 PM
Nah, you just don't follow the point I'm making most of the time.

You also don't like that I find it hypocritical that you expect others to respect ideas that you do not.

November 20, 2025 at 6:26 PM
It's highly relevant in pointing out the hypocrisy of your argument, however.

You don't care or believe in the 1A, why use it as a criteria for others?

I mean, I know why, you think it'll confuse my poor liberal brain lol
November 20, 2025 at 6:24 PM
Shit dawg, the colonies started from a highly intolerant religious cult -- the Puritans.

Elementary school always teaches they came here for "religious freedom", but they really came because nobody would let them be extreme enough theocracy lol
November 20, 2025 at 6:20 PM
1. Muslims are bad because they [apparently] don't believe in the 1A
2. The 1A is about personal choice
3. You don't want to let others choose
4. Therefore you don't believe in the 1A either
5. Therefore, your stance is hypocritical

QED
November 20, 2025 at 6:07 PM
Yeah, no shit dude, I got all that lol. Apparently I have to spell everything out extremely explicitly.

Here, maybe bullet points will help?
November 20, 2025 at 6:07 PM
And as I have been pointing out, *you* don't have any deference for the 1A. That's clearly not a guiding principle for you.

Just admit you're using hypocrisy as a cover for bigotry lol
November 20, 2025 at 5:54 PM
What's the saying? Those who don't learn from history are doomed to say "that's totally different"? I think that's right.
November 19, 2025 at 7:14 PM
The Protestants believed there was an enormous difference and whipped up a frenzy because of it.

They thought they were right to be afraid, too.

And they were wrong.
November 19, 2025 at 7:08 PM
We're not in Riyadh. I have lived in cities with large pride parades *and* a lot of Muslim immigrants.

I fucking walk the walk lol
November 19, 2025 at 7:01 PM
*My* view is to respect religious liberty and to deal with that conflict if it ever comes, because immigration is our nation's superpower

*Yours* is to be kind of a shitty coward about it
November 19, 2025 at 6:56 PM
The point of the question is you are latest in a very long line of people descended from immigrants being hysterical about all the bad things that will happen if we allow other immigrants

And yet it never has come true. Why would you think you're different?
November 19, 2025 at 6:53 PM
Here, let me spell it out. The question was not "would you personally ban Catholics".

I pointed to a cartoon that said Catholics

- Didn't share "our" values
- would take over the government
- put us all under religious law

and asked what the difference was between your hysteria and theirs
November 19, 2025 at 6:50 PM
Says the man who didn't understand either the question or the point of the question lol
November 19, 2025 at 6:39 PM
I tried to establish what exactly was the difference between fearmongering about Muslims and all the 19th century fearmongering about Catholics but I didn't get a good answer lol
November 19, 2025 at 6:25 PM
Excuse me, "disdain the five freedoms articulated in the 1st Amendment"
November 19, 2025 at 4:49 PM
Point of order. 1A applies to everyone, not just citizens.

Walk me through the thought process of someone who can say with apparently zero irony:

1. "Why am I obligated to let others choose?"
2. "Other people would repeal the 1A"
