"There are many who consider as an injury to themselves any conduct which they have a distaste for, and resent it as an outrage to their feelings...But there is no parity between the feeling of a person for his own opinion, and the feeling of another who is offended at his holding it; no more than between the desire of a thief to take a purse, and the desire of the right owner to keep it. "
John Stuart Mill (1806-1873) English political philosopher.

Who will you fanblog about when every one of these sickly inbred thieves gets the guillotine?
Oh anon with your silly uneducated comment it's apparent you don't know English history. The only Royal who was ever guillotined was Charles I in 1649 (It was les grenouilles 馃惛across the way who were the big fans of guillotining Royals).聽Today most would frown on such barbarism because of your circumstances of birth. You're a special kind of sicko though for suggesting guillotining a bunch of innocent children all under the age of 16. You also don't actually read my Tmblr or you'd know that I'm not really a big 'fan girl' of the Royal family per se. I'm more of an 'I hate liars and manipulators' Tumblr so I primarily focus on the two former senior royals. With their shenanigans and hypocrisy, I'll unfortunately have years of material! Sometimes I fan girl over Catherine when she rocks yet another iconic look but really who doesn't?! Thankfully she's a commoner so whew, she misses your Royal death wish! Thanks for the chuckle anon!聽Do come back soon for all of my awesome cat pictures! 馃槈

When it comes to expressing yourself online: despite always wanting people to be able to honestly speak their mind and always wanting to be as welcoming as possible to people new to a community; eventually there is one lesson we learn over and over again. Never go 100% freedom of speech.

Our right to freedom of opinion has been undermined.
Under oppressive regimes, opinions are controlled by careful restriction of information, and the sources of information.
The modern online equivalent, even though we believe we live in a free society, is polluted by fake news and misinformation. It violates our freedom in a similar way. Our freedom to form reliable thoughts that are our own and not those of someone else.
It is a worryingly short distance from George Orwell's ''prolefeed" ("the rubbishy entertainment and spurious news which the Party handed out to the masses" - taken from his book 1984) to Facebook, Twitter/X and Instagram.
Freedom to Think by Susie Alegre (Atlantic, 2022)

Goya has a whole initiative they support combating child trafficking and slavery worldwide. Additionally, their CEO praised Donald Trump's comments about the liberal 'cancel culture' so the woke tried to come for them with a boycott. Sales rose 22% instead...

Support Goya; I do. A non-woke company.

Here's the thing. Y'all forget really easily that cencorship, once it has legal grounds, can be applied to any and every form of speech. You want to say smth like 'gay is okay' under a gov who doesn't agree? Well tough shit. Have fun being incarcerated.
I'd rather someone say a hateful thing directly to my face so I know to avoid them in the future, than have their speech be limited and later, after investing time and effort into a friendship, find out they're awful.
Kanye was openly a bigot and now his carreer is imploding, you don't need to limit free speech to achieve this result. Let people be bigots, let them expose themselves. Let them suffer the consequences accordingly.

"What the herd hates most is the one who thinks differently; It's not so much the opinion itself, but the boldness of wanting to think for yourself - an ability of which they themselves are not capable." Arthur Schopenhauer.

psa let kids identify as ace if they want! as an asexual adult i can say it did me absolutely no help in being told i was too young to know. not only that, but kids changing their labels is so normal and an expected part of growing into your identity! let them experiment!

anyway i'm always fascinated by the people who think that trans men transition purely to escape misogyny and gain social capital. idk how it is for other people, but since i transitioned i have not only experienced more misogyny than i ever did before but also lost access to the public spaces and support systems that might have helped me deal with it

#I also think american exceptionalism and their bizarre cultural one-way street isolation plays a role#i think it's different if you actually see other countries as equals and see that they have female leaders and realise that it's#not going downhill it's not solving everything it's business as usual and it's just another boring fucking politician#and this makes the gender of the candidate LESS (not saying no) issue people obsess about or feel a need to discuss#(e.g. people laying into the appearance of female politicians? certainly misogyny. making jokes about cooking and shoes? definitely too#but I feel like that was more a 'gotta insult these fucking politicians' and gender being one of the targets when people want to do that)#but if you're the US and giant parts of the populace think they're the specialmost extra complicatedest country in this our planetworld#the fact that it works for so many other countries takes a much lower priority#because 'yeah sure a woman can govern a....'checks notes' Fineland and United Kingdom of England or Germanland'#but the US of freedom? we got a red button and what if she's on her period!!?! We are a REAL country!!'#not to mention how deeply entrenched the idea of the US as being CONSTANTLY under attack is and the president as the PROTECTOR#and that protector needs to be daddy of course#i also think the different attitude to leaders plays a role#because a part of misogyny is how much people love to HATE women - to sink their teeth into them and demonise them for every flaw#so any country that has some kind of weird worship of their leaders or sees them as some heroes or extra-class of person*#in my opinion might have a harder time to elect a woman because the moment a woman becomes a candidate#you just have to find the right flaw to go on and on about to make the population absolutely hate her or question her competency#meanwhile the general slack we cut men means they can do whatever but somehow still be compatible with that concept of leadership#(*not just the US ....though a lot of other countries with similar attitudes to their leaders are not standing out as democracies tbh)
