Ain't nothing wrong with minarchism in and of itself as well.

A lot of them are right about just how imbecilic so much of our Government folks are as well.

 

[Vyor]

Ah yes because a social movement can only be called effective if it radically alters the legal system?

Typically speaking, but you claimed they got laws passed.

Those small movements made it illegal to rent out certain VHS's in a shitton of countries

Right here. So post the laws and we'll see who actually voted for them and proposed them.

Lmao-outside the US. Trying to sourcebro me is how you end up panicking and calling me a Nazi again.

You mean besides the video recording act? Which started as a censorship law and then devolved into people going to prison for disseminating chucky movies?

The censorship and restriction of content towards minors and adults has been a mainstay of that part of the right for decades.

Trump's ability to pick and choose his allies really does suck, doesn't it?

Are you talking about the Audio Home Recording Act? Because no, that's just not true.

Forest Hills School District approves new resolution 'banning anti-racism'

The Forest Hills School Board is set to introduce new legislation that will ban "anti-racism training and teaching" at a meeting Wednesday night.

Couldn't find a thread this fit into better, but this shows that the rights push against CRT and other Woke ideology in our public schools is having an effect, and will win votes for the right in the upcoming midterms.

I hadn't heard of it either, but I'm going to take a wild guess that this is what he means.

See, I did google for it and only got american laws.

But ok, it was introduced by the british "conservative" party. A party so right wing that... the Labour party was further right than they were as of even 1994.

• Part XI, which dealt with sexual offences. The definition of rape was extended to include anal rape. Section 143, though not given much consideration, legalised anal sex between heterosexual couples. The age at which homosexual acts were lawful was reduced from 21 years to 18. During the passage of the Bill, MPs considered an amendment to reduce this age to 16 (thereby equating it with the age of consent for heterosexual sex) but the motion was rejected by 27 votes. Analysis of the division list revealed that 42 Conservative MPs had supported equalisation, and the motion would have carried but for the opposing votes of 38 Labour MPs.[8][9]

Was the activist that pushed it seemingly a bit right wing? Yes. Was she also a complete and total loon? Seems to be the case by her claiming that "Hugh Greene" was the devil incarnate, which is just kinda wow.

As a note, however, the VRA was, according to wikipedia, found to be unenforceable and so repealed only to be reinstated by the Labour Party in 2010.

I'm sorry, but if this is their gotcha is kinda pathetic.

 

[strunkenwhite]

Well, I don't know for sure what law exactly he's thinking of. I just know that there's a law of almost exactly the same name as what he said that did (among other things, naturally) roughly what he described. I've defended the searchability of such a law, which is what I was after; I'll let him defend his own point, or not.

 

[The Immortal Watch Dog]

The "video recording act" doesn't exist.

Yeah it does.

It's an English law, you cope posting doofus

I'm sorry, but if this is their gotcha is kinda pathetic.

No whats pathetic is your blatant denial of reality and total ignorance of conservatism over the last 50 years.

 

[Sergeant Foley]

Yeah it does.

Nah men disagree, sometimes roughly it ain't hostile though.

[Vyor]

And Brave didn't want to show me such. Which is why actually posting the fucking law is something I requested.

No whats pathetic is your blatant denial of reality and total ignorance of conservatism over the last 50 years.

The "conservative" party of the UK is anything but.
