This is the kind of thing that absolutely convinces me that liberalism can't sustain itself unless it has a complete stranglehold on the narrative to convince onlookers that liberalism is a series of commonly held positions.

Let all social media sites have an open day and a poll on a host of varying subjects and see the true results are.
How many genders? Is it ok for teachers to talk about homosexuality to 5 year olds? should we have unlimited open border immigration? is diversity a strength? Whats your opinion on critical race theory? Should we prescribe hormone blockers to 8 year old children?

yeah... its pretty obvious why they would need to control the narrative..

Scratch the surface of a liberal and underneath you'll find an authoritarian, a racist, 98% of them are useful idiots and the remaining 2% hold the power.

Your very base of beliefs is authoritarian. Let's start with abortion, shall we?

Ok. I think abortion should be available as an option, and not forced on anyone. How is that authoritarian?

"not forced on anyone."

Not forced on the baby? How is that not authoritarian?

"The embryo."

An embryo is a human being in a certain stage of development, just as the "teen" is.

Again, if you care about the science, an embryo is what we call a human being at 3 weeks to 8 weeks of development. A teenager is a human being around 12 to 18 years of development.

A 1 mo th old isn't viable outside the womb either, not on its own.

Oh oops, I forgot that postnatal abortion is already on the table.

The way that you put down any and every person of faith is highly authoritarian.

How is it authoritarian to criticize things? Am I saying they shouldn't have freedom of religion? No. Am I saying they should be silenced? No. Am I saying their religion should be outlawed? No

So how is that authoritarian?

Indirectly, yes, you are and it's also against the TOS although you never seem to get timed out for it.

How exactly has Octavia violated TOS?
1 up, 2y,

I'm not going to go back and pull old quotes, but I'll post them here as I find them.

The main IMGFLIP TOS states:
-"do not discriminate against any sect"
-"please express your opinions in a way that is kind and respectful to all people of the world"
-"comments, or other images whose sole purpose is to attack a person or group of people in a condemning and non-humorous way are subject to deletion, and the user account that posted such content is also subject to deletion"
-"please be careful when authoring content around sensitive subjects such as politics, religion, and race."

The POLITICS TOS states:
-"don't harass anyone"
-"No racist or otherwise bigoted content"
-"vilifying or discriminating against groups of people or other users is not [OK]. This applies to comments as well."
-"Be respectful of other people's opinions and do not discriminate or attack anyone."

Surely you've seen flags submitted. He constantly attacks, harasses, discriminates, and vilifies Christians. You can chose to disagree with me because the strike zone here is not well defined, all of these terms are matters of opinion.

Okay, you got me there. Octavia certainly does have some very anti-Christian and anti-conservative opinions. Problem is that if mods were to crack down on Octavia on even those most petty of TOS violations, they would have to crack down on pretty much every other user on Imgflip as well, especially those who participate in political debates. Because if we’re being honest with one another, pretty much every attack on another group would be a TOS violation, and would likely wind up with politics, politicsTOO, conservatives, and Real_Politics all getting nuked, which would be a lose-lose for absolutely everybody involved, if we were to enforce TOS to the strictest letter of the law. Instead, I’d rather see Imgflip take an approach that at least tries to consider free speech and allows for people to have political debate. There’s certainly still flaws, but it’s at least better than going full Twitter and waging a crusade against conservatives.

And bear in mind there's a difference between attacking a belief system and attacking the individuals who belong to that belief system

Of course, which is why you don’t earn more timers than you currently do. I am pointing out however that it does violate TOS if you’re interpreting it exactly as it’s stated, it’s simply a matter of whether mods enforce it or not, especially when so many people would be affected if such an extreme interpretation were to be implemented.

"Yes it is"

So a 1 month old baby can survive on its own, completely unassisted, and doesn't rely on others to keep it alive?

Because that is the context of "viable" that I already mentioned, the context related to babies, unborn or otherwise.
0 ups, 2y
That may be how you're using the word. That's not how I'm using the word.

Is a one month old physically attached to another human being through an umbilical cord?
10 ups, 2y
Both well-said and utterly true.
2 ups, 2y
That's all very well but it's not just "liberals", because that's not the real meaning, it's all those who seek to establish a world government, for which they use anything and vitiate any established ideology or belief to extend a global empire.

True, but Octavia's right there. Doesn't mean anything about liberalism.

"Liberalism is actually a series of commonly held positions."

Joe Biden is an extreme liberal, not a classic liberal, of course. His ratings show that extreme leftism (liberalism) is NOT a commonly held series of positions. So says the people.

Meet Nina Jankowicz, Biden’s New Disinformation Czar
April 29, 2022

https://www.nationalreview.com/news/meet-nina-jankowicz-bidens-new-disinformation-czar/

Both Jankowicz’s record and online behavior have come under scrutiny since the announcement of her new post, as she’s made plain both her disbelief in the since-confirmed Hunter Biden laptop story and her affection for Christopher Steele, the author of the discredited dossier on former president Donald Trump that helped launch the Mueller probe into his 2016 campaign.
