However you look at it age verification is a major change to the internet and our freedoms.

We've seen all kinds of legislation pushed through in the past, often even against major resistance.

What makes me suspicious this time is the speed at which some of the slowest bureaucracies in the world are adopting it and how it's happening in 20+ countries in parallel.

It's like they're all in a group chat, fast-tracking this before resistance can even form.

The push towards authoritarianism can be explained without DA JEWWWWZZZZZ making all the calls behind the curtains.

Oh look, another dipshit playing along with the Zionist narrative that Israel means "the Jews" instead of just a fascist, Zionist, imperialist shithole that attacks all of its neighbors and promotes fascism and state surveillance globally.

You know you can just critique the Israeli government and hate the genocide without antisemitism.

Hey dumb fuck, nobody here was being antisemitic. You pulled that right out of your ass, ironically, because I pointed out people are turning on Israel for their genocides and imperialism.

The authoritarian push is more likely to make opposition against our technofascist overlords harder and help them extract the last value from the rest, before capitalism collapses.

AND the fact our politicians have woken up to the fact they can no longer control the narrative with a free and open internet, with the greatest example being people turning on Israel

No, nowadays i just see so many people who equate israel with dajewwzz, that it's become a reflex to point it out, that it's not the case.

Thanks for clarifying your position, nuance is important. Maybe try it without dipshits and dumbfucks next time, this might make you look better.

What the fuck is this moronic way of typing "the Jews"? Are you 12?

that it's become a reflex to point it out, that it's not the case.

That is entirely a you problem. You're making an ass of yourself with stupid assumptions.

Thanks for clarifying your position, nuance is important. Maybe try it without dipshits and dumbfucks

...maybe try not being a dipshit and a dumbfuck?

Every time any conversation is attempted to be had involving genuine criticism of Israel, not only is it bombarded with Zionist NPCs vomiting every tired Israeli propaganda talking g point, but its also bombarded with dumb asses like you falling for the Zionist propaganda that even suggesting Israel does any wrong, or holds great power over western nations, is a dogwhistle for antisemitism.

Why don't you stop fucking participating in any such conversation? All you're doing is helping the genocidal Israeli cause.

next time, this might make you look better.

Hey dipshit, you came in here spewing the Zionist defense with zero reason to do so whatsoever. The bar isn't lower than you.
