I’m more concerned about actual effects on the world right now, legality has been irrelevant for 50+ years.

The context was us asking for Palestinian or queer voices to be part of the campaign, and we got a neocon instead. We could have had "all of the above" but they were only interested in inviting those further on the right.

Who gets to say what is a fringe issue though? Is Gaza a fringe issue? What about universal healthcare? When we let corporations frame the debate, they will always ask us to sacrifice our own to save ourselves but never the billionaire class.

I mean churches should be anticapitalist and before the turn of the last century they often were. But then property got expensive and churches would need loans... Now we have prosperity gospel and mega churches. The internet ran the same course but in just a couple decades.

Last century: whistling tones into the phone to get a free call

This century: faking an accent to get the police to respond

Wait, that sounds like the last century as well...
