Mick sure has a lot of energy for an old guy.

The Rolling Stone comes out as a lockdown skeptic, joining Van Morrison, Eric Clapton, and other people you used to think were cool before they...became...counter-cultural?

lockdownsceptics.org/2021/04/13/mic…
I mean...we're talking about Mick Jagger and other rock icons, not exactly conservatives, coming out against lockdowns?

What can it mean? Maybe that being forced to stay locked up, muzzled, jabbed, and increasingly surveilled is...inconsistent with the freedom they represent.
That generation is now old, but some of them sure don't want to participate in this fearful, stodgy, controlling old attitude.

Not the Rolling Stones, but certainly from the same generation:
OK, it's not totally clear that he is a lockdown skeptic, although it does seem reasonable to read the song that way. See:

Defund the police! Because Black Lives Matter!

Never mind that widespread, enthusiastic hostility toward policing as an institution, together with official Democratic tolerance of violent rioting in inner cities loosely directed at police, has resulted in a 33% rise in murder.
Never mind that in Chicago alone, from 2020 to 2021, that will mean a rise in murders from approximately 769 to 1023, i.e., in that city alone, these righteous causes resulted in the deaths of ~254 more people. Most of them, of course, were (will be) black.

Black Lives Matter!
Source: the CNN article says there was a 33% homicide rise in Q1 2021. If this rate continues throughout 2021, then since that Chicago had 769 homicides in 2020, they'll see ~254 more murders this year.

Is leftist self-righteousness worth it?

Satanism isn't real. It's just people having fun triggering conservative Christians.

Right?

Golly, they sure do spend a lot of time, money, and energy triggering those conservative Christians. Why is it so fun to them?
But children are his core audience, he said in January.

That was just before he released this video, in which he is portrayed first as being corrupted by the serpent in the Garden, then as an angel falling all the way to Hell where he has sex with Satan (in the video). YOU'VE BEEN WARNED:

@Amy_Siskind Unless he's a white Christian.

In that case, demonize the killer with the attention of having his name widely known and associated with the inherent evils of Christian white males.

Right?

Just checking. Want to make sure I'm getting this right.
@Amy_Siskind This guy is OK to name, to fully profile, to associate his evil crimes with his religion, etc. Right?

Maybe you want to add: it's *important* to name and shame people like him. Right?

@Amy_Siskind Meanwhile, you disapprove of this coverage, because it reports an Arabic name, and shows a picture of him?

At some point, Twitter's refusal to remove chi1d p0rn stops being a mere violation of 230 and counts as participating in the crime, @Jack>

Twitter's refusal to stop this horrible crime taking place on its own website looks delibate, considering—well, just look:

This is not just the opinion of a few people. Russia has threatened to block Twitter if they don't "take steps to remove banned content," including ch!ld po4n:

Maybe the Bible won't be cancelled after Dr. Seuss and "When Harry Became Sally." Progressives mock the idea. OK; I have a question:

Why not?

foxnews.com/media/amazon-c… | via startthis.org/?p=523
I mean, it's a fair question. If companies are pressured to cancel/block content for racially insensitive depictions of people, for criticizing trans ideology, for being by Clarence Thomas during Black History Month, for being a conservative forum, etc., then why *not* cancel...
...the Bible? The Bible advocates against gender equality, says slavery is OK (well, it does, sort of), recommends brutal treatment of adherents of pagan religions, threatens nonbelievers generally with hellfire, and even has God commanding genocide.

Well?
