@karchie I agree 100%. The let's-ban-woke crowd is not there to "protect children" but to exercise power in hopes of imposing terrible policies and an unjust hierarchy on us all, and we should plainly say that. 1/

@karchie It's not "book banning" per se we're objecting to. We're kind of hijacking a virtuous aura from older civil rights battles by framing it that way, but we're not making our truest or strongest case, and we're leaving ourselves open to fascists' most effective persuasive tool, the claim that liberals are the real fascists because we impose a hierarchy based on who actually gets to enjoy putatively universal liberal rights, and from whom they are somehow withdrawn. /fin
