This is why I support free speech I might not like some of it but at least memes would be legal

StupIDPol: A based critique of essentialism

A federated homage to the subreddit of the same name. The original idea is a marxist take on identity politics and the stupidity inherent in it, but we're fresh out of marxists to run this joint.
Until any marxists step forward to take over, this is a place to post well-tempered stories and commentary about the bonkers world of identity politics.
We got rules, so learn 'em:
- Follow the site-wide Terms of Service
- Try your best to keep comments based. Low effort trash talk and profanity aren't in keeping with the spirit of the community
- We're inspired by communists, so yes the moderators can and will abuse our power

What's particularly funny about this bill is that a good half of the European internet lives on Amazon's AWS eu-west-1 cloud center, which is located in Ireland. If the Irish government is serious on passing and then enforcing this law (big if, I reckon) they might be shooting themselves in the foot as social media companies begin to move their data centers to other areas of Europe. Let us not forget that Ireland's economy is almost entirely dependant on being a EU digital harbour for oversas companies.
I haven’t seen the proposed legislation. I'd hope that they would just make laws that prohibit incitement of illegal acts and memes or posts that do this would just be included.
Side note: Fuck Elon Musk. He's not defending free speech, he's defending incitement.
Also, fuck McGregor. He's a violent piece of shit.
