Pretty weird coming from firefox if you ask me.

First of all, firefox is politically active and on the correct side too. Fighting for equality, against discrimination and for a fairer world for us all is the only cause that actually makes sense atm imo.

I‘m not totally sure if I like the fact that they don’t actively talk about their „new“ focus more but I‘m not actively researching that either, but I digress.

Besides that, they‘re asking to amplify factual voices (instead of the extremes) which I find baffling that someone has to actually suggest this. People thinking any other way would make sence are definitely high on something.

Fighting for equity, as a man who's supposed to be at the bottom of the hierarchy, I spit on it.

Because the actual definition of factual and their definition of factual differs. When they say factual voices, they mean, voices which they like.

Somewhat similar to feminists, when they say they just want equality (and I am ok with equality) they don't want equality, they want equity. They want quotas. Their definition of feminism and my definition of feminism varies. And people who say they want factual discourse have utterly disqualified themselves from saying that again, they just want their opposition to be censored. The last few years have proven that

I‘m sorry but I don’t get what you’re implying. The only thing I get is the feeling of mysogynism.

Nobody cares about quotas, what some fictional screaming lesbians are doing to poor incels out there. Thats not real, man.

The rich are fucking us, not women. Don’t let yourself be made into their tool.

mysogynism.

if fighting for equality and fighting against equity is misogynistic, I am one.

The rich are fucking us, not women. Don’t let yourself be made into their tool.

The rich probably get a better deal out of everything and I don't hate women, I love em lol. I am not a tool of anyone.

If by equity, you mean this:

Equality means everyone is treated the same exact way, regardless of differences. Equity means everyone is provided with what they need to succeed.

then you are much worse than that.

I don’t even know what you meant with the second sentence but right now you seem to be making it worse. Have you maybe been told what to think?

GUILTY

Cosmic justice is not a great idea and it hurts the people the left claims it helps. And I am saying this as a colored man who is pretty much at the buttom of this hierarchy

I have no idea what your situation even remotely is but if you‘re a poc like you claim, then you have far worse problems than women my friend. Try to get your priorities in order.

I know this is difficult for a lot of more conservative-minded folks to conceptualise or believe, but the purpose of progressive movements is to dismantle the hierarchy, not change who is at the top or bottom.

As such, you are not "supposed to be at the bottom of the hierarchy", because there should not be a hierarchy at all.

Hey as a leftist I'm right there with you against censorship. Fuck these smug liberals at the NYT who wanna sit in their high chair and play puppets with the world. Mozilla though, their first points advocate for transparency. I think we can do a lot of good with transparency.
