This site is puritanical, although I have noticed this a lot with the left wing. In addition to speech policing the nags are going hard after gambling and alcohol. I’m very surprised they haven’t tried to outlaw porn to Save the Women

In the US 'the left' (and it's various offshoots) is pretty much a straight-line descendent of Puritanism, albeit stripped of it's direct religious motivation. So while the right may ban porn because 'evil woman parts leading us astray', the left will ban it because 'exploitative patriarchal degradation of women'. In reality they've just found a different rationalization for a cultural choice that was made when the Mayflower first dropped anchor.

Your whole comment is pretty silly considering only one of these things is actually happening.

Age verification laws are becoming common in red states. Meanwhile CA is the porn capital of the world

Where did you get this from? We are as close to anarchism/libertarianism as you can find.

BS. This website has abandoned whatever liberalism it ever had and embraced trump.

Im a revolutionary leftist and I couldn’t disagree more. This crowd is not swayed by demagogues and is very much in their own category.

Outlawing pornography is a right wing speech policing platform. I think you have noticed more what you want to see instead of what is real.
