I love it, objected to by "Moms for Liberty". I guess that works in fascist land where words mean the opposite of what they are.
And leave it to one of these bullshit 'Liberty' or 'Patriot' organizations to completely distract from the point that Anne Frank was a teenage girl growing up in an attic, hiding from an insanely hateful political group/police who wanted to kill her and her entire family.
"Moms for Liberty" is a straight up hate group. Like, I'm not doing that hyperbole thing. They are racist bigot fascists dead set on white, straight supremacy.
No offense man, and I'm not an expert on this group, but the fact you chose to use so many buzz words tells me they probably aren't all those things. Misguided maybe, but people will take you more seriously if you don't use the hyperbole you claim to not use.
Feel free to prove me wrong.
Meh I don't care enough about a bunch of moms with their panties in a twist or you to do any research. But please don't convince yourself you're right because someone didn't take the time to prove you wrong. It's not like you presented any evidence yourself. Just buzz word accusations.
For someone who isn't an expert and doesn't care, you sure seem to know something the rest of us don't, and are real invested in making sure we know.
Of course you're exaggerating now. I already said I don't know much about them. When you drop a shit ton of buzz words, people will assume you're using at least some hyperbole. But alright man, I'm sure they're worst group on the planet. You were right and I'm wrong. I apologize.
What? It’s objectively true. Your method of “someone used extreme words on Lemmy therefore I don’t believe it” isn’t a very realistic research method.
One of their first group letters had a quote from Hitler on it. And it wasn't like the old memes where they didn't know. They credited it as from Hitler. They pit a Hitler quote on the front page. Let that sink in. We get insulted for calling people Nazis and racists, but they literally put a quote from Hitler on the front page.
I should build a special little bookshelf with books banned by moms for liberty just for my kids.
Edit: talked to my SO, we're going to do a Little Free Library of them
I doubt anyone will achieve the latter, but yes. These days the words Liberty and Patriot have been hijacked by regressive, reactionary religious fanatics.
