   If you think #Trump really did #Jan6, but you refuse to take the very real, very believable issues around the #Biden presidency seriously, you're just an empty gong.

   #GOPDebate

   I didn't vote Trump either time, but anyone can see he's being railroaded.

   Come on infosec people, you *know* the signs of social engineering/phishing. High stakes, time constraints, call to action. You're not being smart, you're being a mark.

   If you cannot articulate your opponent's position as they would articulate it, you are not qualified to have an opinion on that person or able to have a rational debate. Reductive malicious catch phrases like "Don't Say Gay BIll" or "Republicans want to ban books" are great slogans for ginning up emotional reactions, but don't describe the intent or heart behind the actions. Exactly -zero- Republicans I've ever met want to actually ban books. I've run into more on the Left who want to control speech than vice versa.

   I'm horrified by the idea of either the swamp things on the Republican side or the Comrades in the Democrat party taking complete control. The result is the same - "A boot standing on a human face - forever."

   End #rant

     @GLFC You're pissing into the wind, my friend. Punk in infosec has been dead for years. They all march to the same tune of "muh trans rights", "mask up!", etc.

     Just look at Defcon. While they didn't require masks this year, $20 says they will next year if the current nascent re-masking push takes any hold.

     90% of infosec are just corporate shills at this point.

     @CanuckPundit Nobody is banning books. They're saying that certain topics aren't appropriate for minor children without parental consent. There's a vast difference. When I was in high school, we couldn't get the SI Swimsuit issue from the school library. Same concept.

     @GLFC thank goodness (not to your rant, but to the fact that it has ended). States are banning books, someone is supporting these decisions.

     @GLFC you can be hyperbolic about this. No one is suggesting it to be appropriate to have that example in a school or school material in general. But to determine what associated with alternative lifestyles , like gay people having “2 daddies”, etc. that type of material is being described at “woke” or perverse by the religious right. This is censorship and at the crux of their politics. The outrage is a feature.

     @CanuckPundit the book banning you seem to be so up in arms about is an attempt at keeping sexuality away from prepubescents. There is no legitimate or moral reason to insist that elementary-aged children need to be taught or provided with any type of sexualizing material. Your vehement objection makes you suspect. @GLFC

     Too soy to be a usual suspect, too suspect to be an average soy.
