my utopia
I won’t speak for all liberals, but I’d like to see a future where it isn’t a big deal for a woman in full modesty garb to sit next to a drag queen in NYC. It’s become a bit of a sensation, but her and I were just existing. The freedom to simply be yourself in a sea of people who aren’t like you is a freedom we all deserve.
The central irony is that this isn’t some hypothetical future–it’s just present day reality. This is a picture of two ordinary people going about their normal lives despite how haters want to politicize it lmao. So the underlying message is not “future liberals want” it’s “people conservatives want to eradicate”

The new fascism is not the politics and the economy of war. It is the global agreement on security, on the maintenance of peace…

By your own understanding, what is a “right”?
Reblog or comment with your answer
A right is something that those without power, beg or even fight for, from those with power.
Those in power can grant rights as they wish, to whatever particular powerless group they choose, and can take those rights away just as freely when they feel the need.
Rights are compromise. Rights are, at best, a concession granted to you by those you let stay in power by not outright taking away their power. Rights are not freedom. They're permission.
There's no such thing as a little bit, or a lot, of freedom. That's something you either have, or you don't.
