    Conservatism is a global plague of oppression and death. I hope Malaysians are one day able to cure their deadly infection.

          Average earthling. The majority of the planet is pretty conservative and bigoted and always has been. We are only hearing these bigots now because many developing nations have finally reached the second or third stage of the Maslow pyramid. Before they were too busy putting food on the table to worry about queer people.

            The fact that over 50% of the population of the world has gone through or attempted progressive revolutions with the support of the majority of the populations within each revolting country in just the last century disagrees with you. Malaysia itself attempted to have a progressive revolution, and it was western meddling that overthrew the progressives in favor of hardline militant religious nuts.

    That’s how things are in so many countries unfortunately. Many people in the west tend to lose sight of that. I live in Morocco and we are struggling to just change the status of premarital sex. In the law you can get jail if you are caught having sex with your gf if you are not married. This law is rarely applied but it remains as a looming threat. The issue is that many people are in favor of that law and think the state should punish those who have premarital sex. This is sadly the case with many progressive laws and ideas. The majority of people in these countries are supportive of these conservative laws. It’s not just a top down thing from a government, which makes it much more complicated.

    Such fragile little snowflakes…

    Imagine being offended by the type of watch someone is wearing.
