TL;DR: I hate both conservatives and liberals. I love the LGBT community. IRL harassment isn’t free speech. I enjoy Varis hangout but hope it’s not as filthy as KF. I would probably hate Keffals, but she did a good thing by shutting down kiwi farms.
Since there seem to be some KF sympathizers here, there are some things I want to make clear. I'm not liberal or conservative. I identify as a radical centrist. Mostly due to feeling unwelcome on either side of the political spectrum as not only do my beliefs tend to piss off both sides but also both sides tend to piss me off equally as much. First off, since most right-wingers think shit like homosexuality and transgenderism are cancers to society I should admit that fact that I'm highly pro-LGBT. Mostly because I adore a group that doesn't contribute to the climate crises by breeding another toxic human being that’s just going to contribute to the cycle of environmental degradation. But also, because I love anyone who pisses off freaks that try to preach monotheistic religious philosophy as if it's moral. Conservative Christians are filthier and more irrational than most liberals. By far. Conservative arguments usually involve nothing more than dishonestly cherry-picking data and leaving out crucial context to push their talking points. That’s what happens when the majority of conservative thought is driven by religious indoctrination and its acquired cultural biases. You get pseudo-intellectualism.
But while I support the LGBT community I'm not the kind of retard that denies a person’s basic personal liberties. While I’m for same-sex couples to adopt children. But there’s no way in hell that I condone putting children on puberty blockers or forcing the gay lifestyle on them just to increase the numbers of the gay community or for whatever other reason they may have for pushing their sexuality and gender identity on a child. Sexuality and gender are for the individual to decide for themselves. Not anyone else’s. And yes I said gender identity. Gender is a spectrum. Look at a fucken dictionary. And no, gender dysphoria isn't a mental illness. It means that you have a different gender identity than the one you were assigned at birth. The desire to convey your gender in the way you feel most authentic is a normal aspect of free expression. Mental disorders are defined as thought patterns and behaviors that make it difficult to interact and function as a member of society. I have a mental disorder. I have ASPD and it makes me prone to narcissism and a disregard for the feelings and opinions of others. That obviosity makes socializing and functioning in the workforce a challenge. People who identify as a gender other than what was assigned at birth doesn't make them unable to function. The only thing that makes it difficult for these people to function in society is baseless attacks on their character. Transgender people can speak, work, socialize, and function as well as any other member of society. They have a mental illness because you insist it's a mental illness.
Whether the facts I spew out my gullet side with liberal or conservative thinking is the least of my concerns. For the record, most of my beliefs side left of the political spectrum simply because facts just tend to favor liberal thinking. Do you ever wonder why scientists usually
donate to democrats? It’s because democrats - on average - listen to the science community and are more rational than conservatives. Barack Obama topped the list, taking in nearly $18 million from scientists and engineers during his two presidential campaigns. And he was a hardcore environmentalist. Food for thought to the people of Varish giving me shit for believing in climate change. But none of this goes to say that I particularly enjoy the double standards of lefties. Liberals love to flog and demean Christians for the sexist fascism they're constantly pushing, but once you try to attribute those same criticisms to Islam they completely flip the switch and call me a bigot. I want nothing to do with that level of cognitive dissonance, so I try not to associate my name with liberal circles. And don’t even get me started on the attacks on anime and video games that they constantly engaged in. I'm sure we can all agree that we’ve all had enough of that.
But it seems the free speech warriors on this forum can’t tell the difference between free discourse and harassment. Truth be told I don’t know a lot about Keffals or what activities she’s engaged in. In all honesty, I only heard of him/her/it when YouTubers began mentioning the KF shutdown. But whether or not she’s just another dumbass cunt riding the trend of virtue-signaling social drivel, the fact of the matter is this is one thing she’s done that’s actually beneficial to society. KF didn’t stick to its charter as a forum for the “exploitation of the mentally ill for entertainment purposes”. They committed actual crimes. They targeted underage girls, attempted to brake into homes, and participated in swatting, real-world stalking, and mass murder. Don’t think for a minute that this was just about free speech, and don’t any of you dare try to hind behind it as a means to justify their continued activities. If I were to get a relative of Mitch McConnell swatted, break into a republicans house or spray paint "kill republicans" on the side of their home, I would be charged with a crime. None of those actions are protected under the first amendment. If Keffals has ever participated in such criminal activity towards some poor misunderstood scrub that has done no physical wrong to the world of the living then my apologies, that’s an entirely different matter entirely. But shutting down a trash can of a forum like KF is the one good deed she deserves praise for, and that feeling isn’t going to change.
Make no mistake. I’m a free-speech absolutist. Without it, we wouldn’t be able to speak truth to power and call it willfully imbecilic. Regardless of political affiliation. But the difference between the dumbasses here on Varish and the dumbasses on KF is that the people here aren't making a conscious attempt to engage in real-world criminal activity. At least I hope not. I’m still relatively new here and haven’t seen any signs of major criminal activity from you guys. Just typical right-wing baboonery. Which is tolerable. I hate the majority of Twitter SJW’s as much as you guys do so we have some common ground in that area. Not so much the whole fake news bandwagon. The fake news hysteria is the result of stubborn retards not wanting to accept anything that contradicts their political brainwashing.
Anyways I've said my piece. I'm unwatching this thread. Infer from this rant what you may.
