"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 🐸across the way who were the big fans of guillotining Royals). 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! Do come back soon for all of my awesome cat pictures! 😉

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.

I’m super shocked how little I’ve seen people (specifically Americans) care about the Tiktok ban on this website. It officially has passed as a law and I have seen nothing about it on here. I get this site hates Tiktok (for many valid reasons), but this should be terrifying that a country who supposedly loves freedom can ban one of the largest social media platforms in the country because they don’t like it. That should be fucking terrifying. I have yet to see a non-politician American support the ban and it is clearly just about the partial Chinese ownership. I get it, the app sucks, but about 170 million Americans have Tiktok. It is a huge platform that the government is mad they cannot control (like Facebook, Instagram, Google, etc which are all located in America). It’s still unknown if Biden or Trump will uphold it, but the very fact it has passed should be terrifying for every American. Including the ones who don’t have tiktok. Yes, Tiktok is beyond a flawed platform, but a government banning it with no say from the public is even more flawed. And it’s crazy imo that this site isn’t furious.

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.

Opened TikTok, saw the message, closed TikTok, opened TikTok again so I could react with people about, crumbled in realization that we are unable to group together anymore

"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
