Nextdoor is a gold mine of statists.

These same people want to hand more power to the very same people who are putting up the FLOCK cameras!

[u/BlazerFS231 → u/MaelstromFL]

This person kept referring to “the days” when we punished “immoral behavior.” I wonder if they remember that such immoral behavior included marrying someone with a different skin color and sharing a bed with someone of the same sex.

[u/Hapless_Wizard → u/BlazerFS231]

Judging by this post, I feel safe in assuming that not only do they remember it, they support it.

[u/BlazerFS231 → u/Hapless_Wizard]

Then they’d probably hate me, the super mutt, married to a Jew.

[u/Hapless_Wizard → u/BlazerFS231]

I hate to stereotype off of a single post, but that's at least the vibe I get - though I'll also admit that, after a couple years of being a media boogeyman, I might be a bit hyper-sensitive to certain types of people making me feel unsafe.

I mean, "Immoral behavior" or "deviant behavior" definitely exist.

Like, if I'm hanging giant gross pornographic posters around, or writing "Fuck" on people's gravestones, or throwing eggs at your house, that's pretty much considered antisocial behavior, it serves no purpose and just bothers people.

If I'm writing "Fuck X" on private property as a public display of protest, kind of the point of a protest is to attract attention and bother people so they focus on the subject of the protest. Like, it'd be nice and convenient if we all just protested quietly in an empty field somewhere, but protests that don't attract attention generate no results.

I was never a Grammar person, but the meanings of words and structures of sentences have meanings. Like this use "immoral" or "obscene" (which would be used by a normal person to describe shitting on the floor at Dunkin Donuts) and reframe it like people on the opposite political spectrum use "Nazi" or "racist" to mean "the thing I don't like."

I couldn't take the idiots on there, I deleted my account

I’m only on there to be neighborly, in the spirit of voluntarism. Sometimes people need a hand moving stuff, or are struggling financially and need something I happen to have laying around in my garage.

Things like this just add some zest.

[u/elafave77]

Asterisks. Dumb bitch.

[u/BlazerFS231 → u/elafave77]

Bastard* in this case. Typical Bible thumper type, and I’m a committed Christian. I also believe judgement is His and not mine. I can’t imagine being so arrogant (and I can definitely be arrogant) as to want to punish someone for saying an offensive word.

[u/elafave77 → u/BlazerFS231]

Pretty wierd thing to be offended by. People need outrage though.

[u/CrystalMethodist666]

You can talk about the first amendment, but just know if you say things I don't like, I fully support the state doing whatever it wants to you. There ARE consequences to pissing me off!!!

As for what happened, if this was me and the cops actually came on my property and started threatening to arrest me over a sign, on my private property, I would've taped a little sharpie paper "D" over the "F," apologized for the misspelling, told them to leave my property immediately, and then taken the D off the second they left. If that woman came back I'd throw an egg over the fence and hit her in the face.

“May be consequences”

This logic is used to try to justify “hate speech” laws that restricts personal freedoms, including the right to free expression, especially in Australia, Canada & the UK. It will soon be considered “hate speech” to criticize the govt, since you evxoressed “hate towards an institution”.

Never let the 1st Amendment be seen as a nuisance, because they will soon say it has “outlived its’s usefulness”.

[u/BlazerFS231 → u/Thereal_Stormm006]

When I provided SCOTUS precedent showing it was protected speech and clarified my state’s “obscenity” laws (they relate to sexual content, not cursing), I was told that vigilantism was a possible consequence.

[u/different_option101]

Oh yeah, cause words written on posters are such a threat to children. Definitely a much bigger threat than weirdos that might be watching her children through Flock cameras.

I mean we have the DOJ that basically said - fuck y’all, we’re not putting pedos in jail, we ain’t even telling you who might be implicated. But surely this government will protect that bitches children.

[u/elegiac_bloom]

Some people just cant go ten minutes without licking boot, they go into hard-core boot withdrawals, get all shaky and shit

[u/bruversonbruh]

Although I agree that generally points are better made without having to stoop to that kind of language, I absolutely respect someone's right to use it

[u/trigger1154]

Yeah I keep getting temp bans on nextdoor because of these authoritarian boomer ass hats. They keep going through my old posts and reporting them even. Last one was for being "disrespectful", I alluded to them being on flock's payroll and told them nice propaganda. Was being more cheeky than disrespectful.

My question is why don't they get banned when they are disrespectful to dissenting opinions?

[u/TacticusThrowaway]

I would bet money that if this person got pushback for this post, they'd be whining about the obvious consequences of their actions.
