Part of the problem are all the lies and disinformation on the internet and social media. That's the strategy of the authoritarian right: Flood the zone with shit!
If people don't know the difference between truth and lie any longer, how will they know what is right or wrong?
It's exhausting!

Again: they thought they’d win a shattering court victory with the Harry Potter lady’s money, then the public would rise up in gratitude, salute them as heroes and stomp all over transgender people on their behalf. That hasn’t happened, because the public mostly aren’t vicious cranks, like they are.

Talking to a relative over Christmas who said she was leaving the WI over "this trans nonsense". It sent a cold rush through me, until she continued; saying that one very loud transphobe on committee was dominating meetings & she & many others were sick of it.

The thing to understand is no compromise would be enough for the GCs.
It is not enough that they are allowed to exclude trans people from single-sex spaces. Everyone else must be forced to do so. It is not enough that they are allowed to speak their views. Everyone else must be forced to listen.

As I said recently in The Guardian:
"Despite their hopes to the contrary, anti-trans campaigners have not won the hearts and minds they believed the Supreme Court would give them"
So they turn to this; desperate, fascistic calls for the destruction of those they hate (framed as ideas, not people).

Tech platforms censor words, not meaning. It’s frighteningly insidious. This kind of censorship explicitly empowers bad actors by robbing their critics of the language to criticize.
Euphemisms are often the domain of fascists and predators. It’s a domain that online media wants to gate us inside.

This is precisely how fascism works, by grabbing at and taking away a little more freedom whenever events lend themselves to it. Bit by bit you lose your rights, until you turn around and realize the road you're on has been long, and democracy is well behind you over the horizon.

AI moderation on YouTube is getting REALLY bad. Many creators have reported facing bizarre experiences with YT as of late. This isn’t even including all the ASMR YouTubers getting dinged for breathing or talking about eating food or whatever
Update: YouTube straight up removed another video about loot boxes. They’re just hitting anything that mentions gambling regardless of context.
What a ridiculous platform.

YouTube restricted an old video about loot boxes being restricted by gambling laws under the “sale of regulated goods policy.”
Yes YouTube, my vids famously “depict or promote” gambling. Those years of anti-loot box videos were secretly pro-loot box the entire time, you ridiculous dumbfuck site 😂.
