But that's not the topic of discussion. Let's take it to the transhumanism thread if you wanna talk about it further. Or TGs.

Communism is inherently authoritarian. If your ideas are "deeply rooted" in communism, you're not for democracy. Perhaps you need to pay attention in Civics class, from now on.

To be fair, she might think it's inherently authoritarian if everyone who ever implemented it shot their enemies, their enemies' families, and terrorized any opposition into submission, and did not give up power when the anti-revolutionary forces were driven from power, and proceeded to invent longer stages of the revolution, and had little to no real plan for administering the world that they won.

Stating "facts"? Lol. The transgender agenda? Lol. Unquestionable? Lol.

They weren't stating facts, and there is not a "transgender agenda" - or an LGBT agenda, for that matter - at work here preventing the truth from being known. The truth is, in fact, know, and the truth is that there's no agenda, but simply that alternative "facts" are being thrown around.

The truth is "transgenderism" is not an ideology nor a movement, the state of being transgender and the ensuing gender dysphoria being natural consequences of an imperfect process like conception, gestation and birth. The treatment is not being pushed by a hidden velvet mafia, but is based on modern medical ethics and evidence. Both the existence of trans* people and of the treatment are unpalatable to certain elements because of various reasons - mostly, it goes against their black-and-white, male-and-female view of the world - and they'd like to de-legitimize this by calling it an ideology, or a movement, and by saying the treatment is not appropriate by misrepresenting dysphoria and dysphoric people as simply delusional.

And the fact one could read through 80 megabibytes of abstracts and studies pulled from PubMed to form one's own opinion, to have bullshit thrown in one's face because "every opinion is of equal worth" and because no proof is required to state anything is very, very irksome.

Because I don't. The only thing I care about is stopping people from spreading misinformation and falsehood by peddling their opinion as fact, or by relying on debunked sources to further their agenda. This is also how I would define falsehood: if you don't support what you say and it can be proven wrong by a cursory search, or if what you say is supported by sources that were proven wrong and this can be proven by a cursory search, unless you can find something else or retract your statement you'd end up in prison.

>Implying jailing people for their opinion isn't going to make their opinion looks more legitimate

I said, at least three times, that I don't give a fuck about one's opinion. I don't care about opinions.

What I care about is opinions being peddled as facts, and falsehood being used to further an agenda.

Which is basically what I have been saying for the last day or so.

You believe, personally, homoeopathy works? The holocaust never happened? The Earth is flat? Fags are degenerate? Ok. I'll think you are as dumb as a rock because of this, but ok.

You say you believe, personally, homeopathy works? The holocaust never happened? The Earth is flat? Fags are degenerate? Ok. I'll think you are as dumb as a rock because of this, and say as much to your face, but ok.

You go around trying to discredit evidence-based medicine based on your unsupported belief, or trying to defund the space program because you think NASA's photos of Earth are photoshopped, or trying to teach children evolution is just an hypothesis of equal weight to intelligent design and the Jews are all lying? Nope. Not going to accept this.

Different situation. Gay pride parades are people taking pride in who they are and celebrating LGBT rights.

This situation is people parading around false facts as actual facts and trying to pass it off as okay because 'mah freddumbz'.

Mao's Great Leap Forward killed between 18 and 55 million people in a meager four years. Stalin's reign in the USSR was responsible for between 34 to 49 million deaths, out of the USSR's 56 to 62 million unnatural deaths. Castro wasn't responsible for nearly as many deaths, but he certainly did many thousands - estimates range between 2 and 100. Still bad.

Cuba is still shit, mate. And a quick glance at what used to be Yugoslavia or the Eastern Europeans, Asians and Africans that did went Communist will tell you that they all do overall worst than their neighbors.
