Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@ElParacletoPodcast says : Defund the government, only we have a right to make decision with our money. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO MY MONEY.>> <<@Spock_Rogers says : My local library, not a Chomsky book in the county. Ben Shapiro and right wing tripe are all over the place. The geography section is paltry too.>> <<@scifi_by_allencrowley7897 says : How about banning advertising that sexualizes people and products?>> <<@avisatlow9715 says : Libraries are antiquated as most stuff is available online these days.>> <<@coypsyche says : Because they will defend constitutional rights 2-? but not the first one. The Government banning access to books is an exact wording violation of the first amendment.>> <<@arlosmith2784 says : Are they stupid? If you ban books from libraries don't you realize that the same materials will just appear online? 👎>> <<@thedarkpassenger6696 says : If Fahrenheit 451° were to ever have a prequel, I imagine it might have been written to include shit that's happening right now.>> <<@Idonthaveahandke says : I don't know what kind of world the Republicans are trying to create, but it looks like it only includes people like them>> <<@questcore636 says : what's also happen is republican outlets acting like they're banning woke books, when actually, they're just normal 40 year old books masking their actions with culture war rhetoric, no one is talking about, neither liberals or republicans>> <<@brookestephen says : The SUPER-RICH don't want their money going to ANYONE or ANYTHING else. EVER. They don't want to pay for payroll, public schools, roads, water, power, food... it should all be GIVEN to them FREE.>> <<@Geolstud says : There might be a problem with the MO state constitution.>> <<@satiricgames2129 says : True point young kids are reading more as the books get banned.....good from evil>> <<@gambitsfox4216 says : Banning books is the first step when fascist regimes take over! Next is arresting honest news people and taking over stations!>> <<@anthonybarber3872 says : Ironically, I was in a group that discussed all these issues over coffee, some were liberals, some conservative. Very lively but productive. This video strikes me as overly simplistic in its opinions.>> <<@nonunekonsequence7641 says : So One of the books that got listed to me thats "Grooming" kids, was Dorian Gray. I love reading, and lament our literacy rates. I remember my class reading Romeo and Juliet, or even stuff from the early 1900s. Everyone HATED it. Not because of "Grooming". The english was Old. It was clutzy and blargh for Most of the people in class, even those of us that Loved reading. Yes, a couple English Lit geeks nerded out on it, and there is something to learning the classics. But they really think that third graders are reading Dorian Gray?>> <<@MichaelPorter851 says : Republicans in Missouri want to keep sales tax on groceries but are wanting to exempt guns and ammo from the sales tax.>> <<@skyironplow4158 says : It's easier to control the masses when they are uneducated. Dumb down the people seems to be Missouri's motto.>> <<@elizabethbates2023 says : Death to the GoP and every white person in it!!! Why the FUCK is Chump still alive???? White power is ass deep In Missouri!! STOP PAYING YOUR TAXES PEOPLE!! FUCK THE GUBB'MENT!!! WE DONT NEED THEM, THEY NEED US!! STOP PAYING YOUR TAXES!! BURY CHUMP!!!>> <<@michaelzuber9610 says : Actually they want an ignorant population Because they're easier to manipulate and control>> <<@annettepiff4583 says : The Missouri Constitution prohibits defunding public libraries.>> <<@JudasMaccabeus1 says : The Bible: rape, genocide, incest, murder. Republicans: *mental gymnastics*>> <<@utetrahemicon says : Let the patrons fund their own libraries.>> <<@thesinaclwon says : Let’s ban the Bible, or at the very least get rid of the religious section of libraries and book stores and put all the books in that category where they belong….the fiction section.>> <<@irishbob26 says : This makes sense. Most Republicans can't read, what do they need library's for.>> <<@LukeLane1984 says : The most dangerous weapon one can wield is knowledge. And this scares the shit out of those in power.>> <<@doomscrivener says : Book-burning pseudo-puritanical freaks posing as zealots to rake in more cash and gifts from their billionaire benefactors. The free exchange of knowledge threatens them because their base thrives on ignorance and imagined victimhood. Huddled in their churches worshiping lies and greed, their true masters. The sad truth (for them) is that they will never have the numbers to make this work on a national level. Defund your libraries, morons. They want to cleanse the world…why don’t they just do it then? Too busy cashing in and riling up the hoopleheads that vote for them.>> <<@po5283 says : The whole porn thing in Libraries in today's world, is the biggest "RED HERRING", and anyone who buys into this nonsense is living on another planet, the whole thing is absurdism to the extreme! Someone should really show these idiots the gotcha videos of playing the jingle from PornHub, just the jingle to kids and their reactions. If you really want to protect kids, try doing more to restrict their access to hardcore porn and stop worrying about them seeing the statue of David or other works of art or literature that is not blatantly porn, like all the dimestore sleezy romance novels the mothers are reading when they aren't gushing over Fifty Shades of Grey!>> <<@nicolethompson1515 says : Knowledge is key>> <<@RechtmanDon says : The concept is quite simple: people learn in great part through reading; people who are educated do not support Republicans.>> <<@fefifofob says : First corrupt the schools. Then the libraries.>> <<@nicholasflamel1134 says : The thought that any present-day kid would go to the LIBRARY to find porn is so laughable it is beyond parody. No, the real goal here is to wipe out any source of knowledge that can contradict their false narrative about the history of our country. It is an attack on knowledge of reality.>> <<@japamusic09 says : So defund the libraries is a thing now😂 I say defund the republicans..get out and vote young people and if you're 16 and 17 start getting ready to register to vote and vote in every election not just the presidential one vote them all out federal state and local>> <<@kevinhiggins7838 says : “Weapons not food, not homes, not shoes Not need, just feed the war cannibal animal I walk the corner to the rubble that used to be a library Line up to the mind cemetery now What we don't know keeps the contracts alive and movin' They don't gotta burn the books they just remove 'em” Rage Against the Machine - Bulls on Parade (1996)>> <<@mary-catherinelounsbury1911 says : What will they think of next .Teachers?>> <<@405DC says : Galileo and Copernicus 👀>> <<@SocialistDog says : I say let them defend it. They can't read in that state anyway.>> <<@finestkindmedicinal5967 says : Conservatives dont even know what libraries are...>> <<@longcastle4863 says : _"Defund"_ is probably the most misunderstood word on the political scene today And because of that it put a dagger through the heart of the BLM movement. Why don't people start using words the general public understands?>> <<@onYaFace2023 says : these 2 are being too snowflakeyy lately ... jeeezz>> <<@philiplombardo4332 says : This is one of the reasons why states like New York vote democratic, it's to keep an industry like the libraries open to the public.>> <<@darcydj says : Republicans don’t want children to know when they are being abused.>> <<@wokeness420 says : I just don't understand why any decent person would still be supporting a party that is pushing the most outrageous policies we have seen in my lifetime, which spans well over 50 years. This is government censoring of our education system at all levels.>> <<@rebeccavalicoff1581 says : It's amazing how Missouri GOP doesn't really believe in rights! But voted to allow children to carry guns!!!! We are so gerrymandered our vote doesn't count. My GOP sister said " Biden is going to ban toilet paper!" Really!!! "Came from TV" ... Aga: fox no news!!! These people are listening to total nonsense and this is corrupting my sister's brain!!!!>> <<@KingZNIN says : Great they take away funds for stuff like choir, band, and others and now our libraries too? What's next our roads?>> <<@geodez2959 says : REPugnants want everyone else to be uneducated and ignorant like them, as to make us equal in that way.>> <<@billpool1217 says : Republicans want everyone to be as stupid as they are. They've recognized that it's the only way that they can possibly win elections.>> <<@sir_charles_iii5154 says : Public libraries will end up being through the internet giving children access to everything. I'd prefer them going into a library.>> <<@jwallah346 says : I agree with TYT but WTF are those bizarre stock videos of people in libraries? I didn't catch a word Anna was saying because I was so distracted by those weird clips.>> <<@deborahkenyon1601 says : I think that Beauty Pageants sexualise children. Are they to be banned?>> <<@genzee5503 says : How about the right to reject theocracy?>>
