  • Way to not answer the question.

  • It would probably make me distrust the prosecution, like if they're bringing this up they must not have much to go on. Like every time a black man is shot by police they bring up that he smoked weed.

    I guess my main complaint is that it's insane to view it as equivalent to real CP, and it's harmful to waste any resources prosecuting it.

  • Ok, comrade

  • This sounds like you're searching really hard for a reason to justify banning it. Pretty tenuous "what if" there.

    Like, a dildo could hypothetically be used to sexualize a child. Should we ban dildos?

    It's so vague it could apply to anything.

  • No one is out here making stupid-ass claims around child marriage.

    Why are YOU so passionate about AI porn? Why do you people make this an issue at all when there are real actual kids out there being harmed?

  • With a set of all images on the internet. Why do you people always think this is a "gotcha"?

  • I'm offended by stupid-ass shit and feel compelled to call it out. Thinking AI-generated fake images is just as harmful as actual children getting abused is perhaps the most obvious definition of "stupid-ass shit" since the invention of stupid-ass shit.

  • For Europeans, a quick primer on American uses of the term:

    "Liberal" = socially liberal: gay marriage ok, trans people ok, immigrants ok

    "Neoliberal" = economically liberal: laissez-faire, lower taxes on businesses, fewer worker protections

    "Liberal" is left-wing. "Neoliberal" is right-wing. Sounds similar, very different. There are a lot of bad actors on lemmy who intentionally try to conflate the two. Don't let them confuse you.

  • If a child is not being harmed, I truly do not give a shit.

  • such material can easily be used to groom children

    This literally makes no sense.

  • lying is almost never justified - not even white lies

    We could NOT be friends. "Absolute truth no matter what" people are freakin exhausting.

  • North Korea functions as a country. Its citizens aren't very happy or healthy, but it functions.

  • Off the top of my head,

    • Yes, this is an explicit step away from the authority of the federal government
    • It is FAR from California's first step (recognizing gay marriage; sanctuary state; legal weed; etc)
    • It is not a complete defiance of federal law per se. I suspect that the way California is going to try to negotiate will be by offering breaks on its own state and local taxes. California has a decent slew of state level taxes on many things. The state may be willing to reduce its own state taxes to offset the federal taxes as part of a separate deal with foreign nations.
  • opposition to your vjews

    lol

    Freudian slip?

  • The biggest difference is that Liberals want to address the fundamental, existential problems with Socialism and Leftists want to paper over it and not face the reality while still pretending they are part of the solution.

  • Taking in infinite immigrants and providing food shelter and healthcare for them and their lineage until the end of time ALONG WITH all of the disadvantaged citizens is not economically sustainable.

    I disagree.

    You’d effectively be turning the U.S. into the world’s homeless shelter.

    Fuck yeah we would.

    Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.

    Here's the thing about immigrants: they start businesses. They get degrees. They make money. They pay taxes. They drive the economic engine forward. They're not helpless fucking children, they are smart and driven and capable adults who happen to not speak your language and may have browner skin than you.

  • I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sounds of thousands of starving Ukranians. What was that again? Something about Capitalism being the root of all evil and Socialism being perfect in every way?
