This post was made by a troll using a fake dox to stir up a reaction within the deltarune community.
Many people thought the same would happen between Russia and Turkey in 2017 and 2020.
\n\n
In reality they just like blowing up each other's million dollar toys in proxy conflicts and riling up their population against each other.
I would argue this shift has been happening since the pandemic. But it is at the worst it has ever been.
And it's probably gonna be better than the actual movie
And listening to their gen x republican parents without knowing the consequences of it
The first commenter is hilarious because the video is a takedown of a pro-maga, pro-putin anti-scientific cult that is the subject of multiple international investigations
Democrats also support this btw
Democrats also support this lol.
The SCREEN Act specifically requires age verification for sites that detect VPN traffic.
Because TikTok is specifically designed to be addictive to children who don't really know how damaging short-form algorithm-driven content is to their attention spans.
It's almost 100% the wiki for Soyjak Party.
because archive today is being used to DDoS people, and the owners have been caught modifying Archived pages to suit their own biases.
\n\n
Before this subreddit started using archives, it used imgur links so that content could be preserved even if deleted.
Unfortunately your archives don't work.
\n\n
Not your fault, but Reddit's, they're beginning to block automated API pull requests from archivers.
\nand possibly shoot for a presidential bid in 2028.
\n
\n\n
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
It's up to the Attorney General to decide apparently
No, they won't.
\n\n
The bill explicitly requires all social media platforms that have both an algorithmic feed, and send out notifications to users, by January of 2027, require all users to verify their age. This basically covers any online platform that offers user-to-user communication that has the option to send out notifications. Unlike most of these other bills, this law doesn't assume you are a minor by default- instead, it forces all platforms to verify the ages of their users, otherwise they cannot be allowed to use the service.
You misunderstand the bill.
\n\n
The bill doesn't lock algorithmic feeds by default. It doesn't automatically assume you're a minor. No, it requires all users to verify their ages before being able to use any social media platform whatsoever, and then it sorts you into a category.
\n\n
In addition, it isn't just algorithmic content that is within the scope of the law. It also applies to any applications that send notifications, becauss it also bans any online application from sending overnight notifications to minors.
New York's 2027 budget bill contains a law that requires all online platforms, regardless of size, to very the age of their users if they contain any form of messaging. This includes video games with a side chat, and chat rooms. Andrew Goundares' old bill that was repackaged into the budget bill explicitly references chatrooms as well.
\nuniversal ID collection would create major privacy and data-breach risks

That's the point.

That's the point.

Again, that is the point.
No, the Senate is simply the DSA's biggest electoral obstacle. With statewide races, you can't pander to a small but politically active electorate that cares really much about single issues. You need a somewhat broad coalition to be a Senator, even in a blue state, and the same actually used to be true for the Republican Party as well. The GOP-controlled Senate was Trump's biggest obstacle during his first term, the transformation of the Republican Party into MAGA hadn't begun yet, and even now, you have significantly more Trump bootlickers in the House as opposed to in the Senate.
Luckily, some states are beginning to ban chariots from giving financial, medical, or legal advice.
DSA is not a large swarm of the party, hahahahaha. DSA might be loud online because the online niche ecosystem that young left wing people with alternate beliefs frequent is overrun with their rhetoric, but the internet isn't real life. Just look at the election results for the 2024 Democratic primary in NY-16, and compare how popular the candidates are on social media vs. the result of the election.
I personally wouldn't install it, because in a few years it will be completely useless. They refuse to comply with OS-level age verification laws that will be going into effect in various states, in addition to the fact that it is incompatible with the European Digital Identity Wallet app being developed in the EU to complement their age verification laws that both the European Parliament and the European Commission agreed upon, by design, because the age verification app is deliberately designed to only work with Google Play Integrity installed, making it not work at all on jailbroken devices. Various online services are beginning to block access to people who use GrapheneOS, such as one person, who got their PlayStation account banned and was subsequently reported to the authorities for attempting to log into their account with GrapheneOS, because of the fact that companies are beginning to associate the operating system with cyber crime and terrorism.
\n\n
We are headed into a world where any mobile device that isn't Apple or Android is slowly being regulated out of existence.
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition …There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
\nit's very likely that the Federal government will finally get slapped for overstepping their constitutional Authority.
\n
\n\n
The 4th Circuit Court will immediately overturn it, and following an appeal, it will land on the desks of the same SCOTUS that ruled after 9/11 that the fourth amendment doesn't apply at the border in the first place.
Social media isn't real life.
The roof is too straight. Use double slabs to create a slight slope.
Nothing lasts forever, but the CCP is only communist in name only, in China it is basically known as "the party." There are a variety of different coalitions and factions within it with different ideas, meaning that the CCP is little more than an organ in which interest groups weigh their own political power.
\n\n
That doesn't really matter though. China being one of the only economically prosperous socialist countries left has learned a lot of the lessons the Soviets failed to. The soviets spent much of the cold war attempting to prop up failed communist regimes in the third world in the hope of undermining the US internationally, China instead plays with diplomacy and trade (and actually has the ability to do so with their resources, population, and money), China doesn't care about that.
\n\n
This is why people who claim American military hegemony is finished and that "China is gonna take over the world!!!!!!" are missing the point. China isn't the Soviet Union. They don't care about spreading communism, hell, they only pay a mandatory lip service to Karl Marx because his ideas partially inspired the foundation of the state, just like how John Locke inspired the foundation of America, and China largely doesn't despise the US the way the Soviet Union did, and they continue to encourage tourism from the US to China and vise versa, and still encourage their population to pursue their degrees in other countries, and vise versa. The rivalry between the US and China is less like the Cold War and more like the economic rivalries between Spain, England, France, etc during the early modern period, or perhaps the Great Game between Russia and the UK. Neither country is militarily prepared to fight one another, nor do they have any intention to.
No, it's from the sharty which is worse
Tudfmangophonk is a post-ironic "gen alpha schizo humor" subreddit that is effectively a ban evasion subreddit for the now-banned r-67club, which was shut down for violating the Moderator Code of Conduct, but was also a cesspool of bigotry such as racism, antisemitism, and transphobia. The subreddit that is the subject of this post contains the same exact material.
\n\n
Soyjak Party, which operates a hive of colonies on Reddit including the now-banned r-WojakTemplate, r-rapeson, and r-apeson, conducted a raid on tuffmangophonk, specifically because the site didn't appreciate the subreddit appropriating their humor. That does not make this subreddit a victim, they brought this upon themselves by thinking they could constantly invoke the humor of a Nazi site known for harassing any site or community that mildly inconveniences them. The site has allegedly been responsible for the spam of shocking imagery depicting mutilated children and animals on websites they don't like.
Those are, unfortunately, a dime a dozen on Reddit.
What the fuck are you talking about
Just to be clear, games like Minecraft and Roblox are being listed in these bans. The KIDS Act, for instance, lists various default "privacy" settings that essentially boil down to preventing users from chatting in video games unless they can prove they are an adult (so, ID verification or face scan), though it does state that a parent can override this (so again, age verification).
\nhey look whos her-ACK!!!
\n
Because things this act as a smokescreen for the much more insidious shit the EU wants to do.
What pisses me off about all of this is the fact that the age verification stuff is the "solution" being provided by the tech companies themselves. If politicians REALLY wanted Big Tech to have its tobacco moment, they would pass legislation banning the sale of smartphones to minors, crack down hard on their use in schools, and HEAVILY fine non-compliance. If kids really want to keep in touch with their parents or other friends they can be given a dumbphone that only has calling and messaging features. None of this illiteracy shit started until we started giving iPads and phones to children.
\n\n
We need to heavily regulate and stigmatize the giving of digital devices to children until they are old enough to use them, to the point where giving an iPad to a child as a substitute for playing with or parenting a child when they need it the most is considered child abuse. That is the only way we get out of this situation, not by making adults compromise their personal information.
Nothing.
\n\n
They expect kids to grow up to become obedient drones.
Well too bad, that's the one they will force us to use.
If you actually follow the money, you realize that the people lobbying for this aren't child safety orgs, or welfare orgs. None of this shit is being pushed by abuse victims, or children. This is all being pushed by PARENTS wanting absolute control of their teenagers so that they don't come across any of that icky icky lgbt shit.
\n\n
They're the same people trying to censor libraries.
I wouldn't really say allegedly, that is literally what they do. When they conduct raids and brigades of other websites, in addition to the spam of soyjaks and transphobic memes, what almost always follows is the posting of mutilated baby animals and dead African children. This happened when they raided Tumblr a few months ago. They claim it is due to "foodists" and "off-site derailers and falseflaggers" but nah
Pro-rape nazi subreddit filled with transphobia and racism.
Liberals are literally the ones pushing it in blue states along with conservatives. Pritzker and Hillary Clinton literally co-hosted an event where they supported this.
Because literally every single country and every single state is debating social media age verification.
If Hasan had any skin he would campaign in NY-3 or NY-4 with the progressive primary challengers (and they are there), he doesn't though because those aren't safe blue seats.
Nepal's situation was due to a domino effect of terrible decisions made by an extremely unpopular government desperately clinging onto the last strings of power. If it wasn't over the social media ban (which actually banned sites completely), it would've been over something else, and it's more likely than not they're going to be in the process of passing a ban similar to the ones going on in the west.
\n\n
People in general have no idea how Nepal works.
Democrats support porn bans too. They are just more quiet about it because they don't want to come off as moral puritans, at least until Republicans have normalized it in half of the states.
They're just gonna ban it all for kids and then act like everything is fine.
\n\n
At least Canada's Online Harms Bill treats these bans as a temporary stopgap for social media companies to actually remove addictive features.
The social media ban targets any website that allows user-generated content.
how the heck did your reddit account get banned in 3 minutes?
\n"What are we, a bunch of Asians?"
\n
\n\n
come on.
Every single blue state in America is doing this, by the way. All their AGs are pushing hard. Massachusetts, California, Colorado, Illinois, Michigan. New York shoveled their age verification bill into the state's budget which was signed at the end of last month when nobody was looking, and all the blind drones are cheering for their rights being taken away because it hurts the bad people.
\n\n
It doesn't matter if every LGBT organization on the planet is opposing this, all saying that this will tear queer kids and teenagers away from their only support groups, it doesn't matter what actual teenagers are saying. Anything to usher in a totalitarian mass surveillance state

\n\n
Moreover, it proves that Democrats never actually cared about LGBTQ+ people and only ever saw our existence as a weapon to bash their political opponents over the head with in a game of faux moral-superiority and owning the bigoted Republicans, but now we've outlived our usefulness, the establishment has used the "hate speech" laws they said would protect us from violence to instead lock us in prison for protesting the genocide while Nazi militias march through the country and Elon Musk does a Sieg Heil to the entire world. When every single civil rights organization and LGBT advocacy group on the planet shows up to say how harmful these laws are and the response from these supposedly "pro-LGBT" lawmakers is to dismiss us and call us pedophiles, it's clear that the Democratic Party is just as evil as the Republican Party.
The subreddit was made with explicitly bigoted intentions. "Rapeson" is a soyjak edit of Cobson, he is basically the sharty's pedophile soyjak, and is it no coincidence that Rapeson is often depicted as trans.
Go back to the sharty loser
Hasan is what you get when a soyboy tries to imagine what being masculine is
Lots of people back in 2020 assumed that zoomers would be the start of a big left-wing political revolution. I'm not just talking about dumbasses like Cenk and Kyle, there were actual articles written in major papers which were analyzing the trend about how insanely left-wing zoomers were, in a way that was only seen in younger millennials. From here, the experts predicted that the Democratic Party would be forced to move to the hard left on every issue imaginable, and that the Republican Party as a whole would completely die out. This wasn't a completely unreasonable conclusion, after all, Joe Biden's victory had record youth turnout, and he had won with a fairly sizeable margin.
\n\n
But of course, the reason zoomers were so politically left-wing was largely due to the internet, and since zoomers were the first generation to be raised online since they were children, it meant that they were exposed to a lot of the millennial social justice rhetoric that other generations would scoff at. While this would lead some zoomers who hated seeing that stuff to go down the anti-SJW pipeline, most would eventually realize how awful the people representing this movement truly was and snap back to liberalism, or become leftists themselves.
\n\n
The real change happened during the pandemic. Obviously during the lockdowns, most people spent their time online because it was the only thing to really do, which meant that older people who didn't tend to use social media began using it religiously - people who have slightly more "puritan" views regarding morals (and trust me, i hate that term more than any other but it fits here). Over time this led to a more politically balanced landscape as opposed to the more solidly left-wing social media and media environment that was the norm just a few years prior. Most people chalk up the enshittification and Nazification of twitter to Elon's purchase of the platform, but honestly for year prior the website shifted considerably right politically, even long before Elon announced his plans to purchase the site, which only really happened because of how site moderation was mass deleting posts by users who were quickly starting to become the primary user base of the site. The same trend probably happened on other sites such as Instagram and TikTok, which are both politically "balanced" but in the sense that users are algorithmically sorted into either hard-left or hard-right echo chambers.
\n\n
In short: all we are really seeing with Zoomers right now is a return to the values that are commonly associated with previous generations due to those generations becoming more online and the internet as a whole becoming significantly more mainstream, especially post-pandemic.
Operating systems aren't a black box. There are ways to determine what programs are doing.
Yes there fucking is.
\n\n
Most websites can tell if you're visiting their site from someplace else. It's how YouTube analytics works, from there they can reasonably link the websites you use to your face or ID card, and from there, governments can build a profile on you, document what websites you used your ID to log into, etc.
\n\n
And when it comes to government mass surveillance, if they can, they absolutely will.
\n\n
A much safer solution is to have you verify your age when setting up your device for the first time. Your date of birth is saved somewhere in an encrypted part of your computer's file system that can't be modified, and that DOB is automatically sent over to every website you set up an account for.
\n\n
In fact, it's what the EU and also some American states like California are pursuing.
The soyjak party has a general on the /qa/ board where the people are convinced that Hussie is secretly an anti woke nazi.
\n\n
Don't even ask me to explain it, I have no fucking idea.
It seems that the provision disabling all communication functions by default for minors without parental approval has been stripped from the act, though otherwise the Safe By Design Act is nearly identical to Andrew Goundares' Stop Online Predators Act. You still have to hand over your ID or credit card to use these platforms though.
CTRL + F "Safe By Design Act"
All online platforms that offer user-to-user interactions must comply.
Right now the common talking point by Republicans is that teenagers are being groomed on social media into becoming trans by being bombarded by trans memes or something. Its a whole conspiracy thing these people believe, it ties into the cultural Marxism crap they've been spinning up for years now.
That's probably the reason why conservatives support this.
It is most certainly not.
I actually recognize that guy, I used to spend time in that fuckass server years ago. It's infested with MAGA people and tankies.
This is why i am so fucking tired of Hasan acting like he's some rebel against the capitalist machine. You just know he went on Jeff Bezos's superyacht to tell him that he actually isn't a real socialist and that it's all for money and fame.
\n\n
Without Twitch, these people would have NOTHING.
\nSocial media algorithms are boosting hate against right-wing enemies while the left has no recourse.
\n
\n\n
I feel at this point we should just be banning algorithms altogether. Plenty of websites don't have "algorithms" yet it is still easy to find things that cater to your interests through, say, a tags system (which YouTube actually used to have, alongside Twitter). If you want to be served up right-wing rage bait, you need to actively look for it. No more mindless scrolling where an algorithm decides what to serve up for you, because that kind of shit doesn't just impact kinds, it impacts everyone.
\n\n
As for websites like TikTok and Reels, they just should not exist at all. Twitter, Bluesky, Threads, and other sorts of short form soapboxy websites are also an absolute cancer that is designed for short, quippy political discourse instead of actual in-depth discourse. 4chan is the cesspool of the internet (mostly just /b/, /bant/, and /pol/ tbh) but there is infinitely more nuance about what is good and bad about a new cartoon on /co/ than there is on Twitter, because you actually need to have reading comprehension skills to be able to communicate.
Okay, now imagine how such laws could be used to discriminate against certain kinds of people. Or how having your online profile linked with your real life identity could lead to closeted gay or trans ppl being outed (and I want you to really think about how hate groups can benefit from it, with just a base level knowledge about how Kiwi Farms or the Sharty conducts their raids and sends "momNVKEs" and "bossNVKEs" to people they don't like).
why don't you go there and check?
You can find those very same people in the comments of this post if you scroll down far enough
Is that why the /soy/ board is filled to the brim with sexualized drawings of children?

You triggered Discord's anti spam system by making a new account on the same IP
Discord has required that for years as an anti spam measure
The bill, the New York Children's Online Safety Act, requires all online platforms, including gaming platforms like Roblox and Minecraft, as well as social media sites like Discord, and any other sites that allow direct and *open* user-to-user chatting, to implement age verification measures for all users and bar anyone under the age of 18 from chatting online.
\n\n
You can read the bill author's justification for this law here. It's a complete non-answer that addresses none of the privacy concerns people have, nor does it address how such a bill would isolate vulnerable people and communities online.
Important excerpt:
\n\n
\nThe 2023 Surgeon General report found that while heavy social media use can have harmful mental health effects on kids, the platforms also can provide mental health benefits for LGBTQ youth and other marginalized groups who find support and connection online. “Taking away social media from youth will lead to increased suicide rates in trans kids, undoubtedly,” Nash says.
\n
\nSo... if an adult refuses to age verify, then the adults will be in the same group as the kids themselves?
\n
\n\n
That's not how it works. If you're under 18, you're not allowed to use chat or communication features, and to prove that you're over 18 you must verify your age.
\nWhat's to stop a predator from registering / buying a child account on a social media site to contact minors?
\n
\n\n
That's not how this bill works. The bill specifically blocks chatting and messaging features for all under-18 accounts.
The "on-the-ground" support for these bills mostly comes from "pro-family" and "parent's rights" organizations like Moms for Liberty. You know what they actually want. Democrats need to be made aware of this.
The bill is only sponsored by Democrats though.
Notable excerpt: > "All social media platforms under NYCOSA would be required to turn off open chat functions, which allow adults to instantly and privately communicate with child users whether or not they know such child or have been previously connected. Unconnected users would also be barred from viewing the profile of a child user, tagging them in a post, or sending them digital currency. Parents would be able to override these default privacy settings and switch to a different setting, however, if they so choose."
\n\n
Although it may seem that only social media sites would be affected, the bill specifically states that all online platforms, including video games, which have a live chat feature for their users, are required to implement age verification measures, and ban anyone under the age of 18 from using communication features.
I was gonna make a post about that subreddit after womensliberation got banned, but never got around to it because the subreddit itself is really inactive in general. Glad it's getting more attention.
When my relatives from the UK came over a while ago and the subject of politics came up, they told me that the support for the Green Party comes entirely from social media. They don't have any on-the-ground support whatsoever.
It literally just passed with unanimous support from the entirety of the House.
It wasn't 4chan, it was the sharty. which is even worse
A lot of this rhetoric is just plain antisemitism disguised as criticism of Israel. Which is nothing new, Nazis have been doing this for decades in order to trick leftists who should know better into unknowingly repeating the kind of shit the Kh Klux Klan would say. It's everywhere on Twitter and Instagram, and the explicit purpose of this is to recruit people into becoming Nazis.
\n\n
That's actually the purpose of the Israel Exposed subreddit, which has a long documented history of antisemitic rhetoric that has been recorded on this very subreddit. The subreddit's head moderator is also a moderator of the Conspiracy subreddit, Dhylan, who themselves has a history of defending Nazi Germany, denying the Holocaust, and generally being an antisemite. I plan on making a post about that subreddit too sometime.
I know that ghostarchive doesn't archive images, but the attached image to the post is a fabricated quote from Israel's finance minister purporting to show him saying that international law doesn't apply to Jews. That same exact fabricated image was previously posted to, among other subreddits, the conspiracy subreddit, and conspiracy_commons.
A drowned only attacks you if you're in the water with it
All Google does is charge you and immediately refund your credit card. That's literally it. It's not stored anywhere, its no different from using your card to buy Play Points or using it for any online subscription. It's probably the most convenient way to verify your age, and the least intrusive. I'm inclined to agree with the other comments saying that it is related to something else.
This bill was literally her idea
I'm tired of these posts they're so low effort and annoying
Unfortunately, politicians don't see it that way. To them, anyone under the age of 18 doesn't have any legal rights. They don't have the right to a lawyer, they don't have the right to free speech. They don't get to have any third spaces for themselves to interact with others of their age outside of school or weekly after-school clubs, with them being closed down in every single major American city, with places like skateparks being paved over, and police chasing teenagers away from public parks for "loitering."
\n\n
American society is becoming actively hostile to teenagers, all while politicians are busy rolling back labor protections for children. They want the worst of both worlds for them: the societal burdens of adults to work, bundled with the rolling back of rights for children to express themselves with others.
\n\n
They just want everyone to work in the coal mines again like it's the fucking 1850s.
Governments around the world are looking to take away the constitutional rights of everyone under 18, while at the same time charging any crimes they commit as though they are adults, and removing child labor laws requiring them to work manual labor jobs at minimum wage without compensation.
\n\n
If you want to see the kind of world the elites want all of us to live in, look at the way they are trying to treat minors. They eventually want all of us to live the way they want them to live.
Why don't you zoom in on Gaza City in Google maps then? I'm sure you expect to see a pristine city and not a smoldering crater, why don't you prove it to the class?
Tankies are awful but even they hate the ACP
Don't go to that subreddit and search "goy." Terrible mistake. That place is awful.
The reason the allies intervened in the civil war is because the Soviet Union defaulted on their debt, not because of this weird antisemitic conspiracy
Install the Double Counter bot. You can join a server on a VPN/proxy but Double Counter requires you to visit their website before being able to have full access to the server, and since Double Counter is as good at detecting VPNs as streaming services are, they will be effectively locked out of the server.
This is usually how bills in the US work. Legislators propose local versions of bills they eventually want to make national bills, but don't possess the political capital or willpower to do yet. Eventually, once these laws have been passed in enough states, nationwide streamlined legislation will be passed.
\nThis bill would require that all device manufacturers conduct commer-
\n
\n\n
cially reasonable age assurance at the point of device activation, and that they then communicate if a user is a minor to apps and services on the device, so that such services may be in compliance with laws and regulations protecting kids online. While not the only effective means of conducting age assurance, as many sophisticated apps are also capable of (and indeed already know) their users' ages, requiring age assurance at the operating system and app store level is one of the most effective solutions as it streamlines compliance by-embedding-the information-on the-device-itself (Hogg,Luke,and-Evan Swarztrauber. On the Internet, No One Knows You're a Dog Examining the Feasibility of Privacy- Preserving Age Verification Online. 2025.). This means that individual websites or apps would not need to conduct age assurance anew, if they are already receiving this signal from the device, burdening only the handful of well-capitalized companies that are sophisticated and wealthy enough to implement age assurance effectively.
The Young Turks podcast is supposedly leftist, but ever since trump won last year, both Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian have been attempting to gain favor from the far right because of how profitable hate is on the internet. Absolutely pathetic for two individuals who used to call themselves progressive socialists.
Brigading is explicitly against Reddit's rules.

They made a reply to this post, where they double down on their rhetoric. They claim their subreddit exists to give women a "safe space" away from male-dominated spaces, which sounds good purely from a rhetorical perspective, but this is because they are the ones who have redefined what male and female means, in such a way as to exclude transgender women.

It's funny because they are wrong anyway. Its been extensively documented that most feminist spaces on Reddit have been co-opted by TERFs and SWERFs, whose users silently downvote open trans women who post or comment on the subreddit. They're mad because they want to constantly be able to post about how trans women are evil predators, this is the classic motte-and-bailey attack in which someone begins with a heinous argument, and when called out, retreats to a much more defensible argument that is similar enough to their original argument that the initial concerns about their argument are dropped. And to be clear, this is a classic strategy of extremists. Nazis like to claim they are "just asking questions" about the Holocaust after posting holocaust denial memes, Tankies claim they just want an objective and unbiased perspective of history after denying the atrocities committed by the Soviet Union and North Korea.

But this ignores the main point. The subreddit's sole purpose is to serve as a refuge for hateful individuals to spread their hatred of a specific identity or vulnerability, which is explicitly forbidden in Reddit's terms of service. Reddit is required to oblige by these terms, and because of that, the subreddit must be banned. Calling all LGBTQ+ individuals pedophiles is also explicitly forbidden in Reddit's rules. We don't make the rules. Reddit does, and Reddit does so to create an environment wherein all its users don't feel threatened by others spreading hate against them. TERFs are an extreme minority that has managed to proliferate their ideology because of social media, same with neo-nazism, same with Marxism-Leninism, Anarcho-Communism, Anarcho-Capitalism, Monarchism, and all other fringe ideologies. Actual studies show that cis lesbians (the very demographic the users of this subreddit claim to be of) are the most supportive of trans rights. The existence of the aforementioned subreddit serves as a repository for hatred that goes against what the rest of Reddit stands for.
I'm fairly certain that subreddit isn't actually feminist. Most transphobic feminist spaces at least pretend the far right is not their ally, the users of that subreddit outright link to twitter Nazi posts to support their arguments and use transphobic slurs just as casually as 4channers do.
I find it hilarious that this subreddit thinks trans women are pedophiles, meanwhile the website they all come from (soyjak party) is INFAMOUS for spamming actual child sexual abuse material on Tumblr and other websites in an effort to get them shut down (the same thing they accuse this very subreddit of doing).
ghostarchive.org and megalodon.jp. They're both faster too.
Have you considered that those who are defending it aren't even women at all? On Reddit (or any social media site for that matter), there's no way of telling the gender or race or nationality of the person you're talking to, and it's well known that men stalk feminist subs in order to launder misogynistic/red pill rhetoric while pretending to be women.
Pornography is not protected under the first amendment. The Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled on this, in defense of the age verification bills passed in multiple states for porn sites.
It exposes why these people are "leftists" in the first place, because the relationship they want with their partner is the same kind of relationship they want with society. Actual 20th century socialists would beat the shit out of them.
Femdom, like all porn, only focuses on the man's pleasure, through the thrill of the "role reversal' in which the woman takes the active role instead of the man (but the man is still in charge, even if bound, because ultimately all femdom focuses on the man's desires being fulfilled not actively, but rather a women initiating it on them. Ultimately, because they're the ones getting what they want, even if only 'secretly.')

Anyway the amount of comments drooling at the idea of a communist femdom society is just hilarious, ahistorical, and ironic considering that the original post was made to a communist subreddit, because they genuinely think they're empowering women by saying this.

The most well known example of a communist state being established in which women played an active role in its formation (moreso than other states) is in 1949 with the establishment of the People's Republic of China. Immediately, every single brothel was shut down, pornograpgy was criminalized, and sex work was made illegal. These laws remain in place even to this day, and the reason they were made was because the communist revolution had a heavy emphasis on feminism and women's liberation. In other words, it was women in China who had decided they had enough. This follows a broad trend of feminism in Asia and much of the global south, with the exception of Western Europe and the United States (where liberal feminism took root after the 80s), but even then, it's very clear that liberal feminism is slowly dying out and will likely be gone in a couple of decades.
