@argv_minus_one @apz also "thing existed before" doesn't mean thing hasn't exploded in prevalence because of new and harmful factors. that's how almost all harms come to be. completely new bad things are very rare. 😂

@quinn What about the old factors? Nobody's complaining about religions that radicalize people by preaching hate and violence toward unbelievers. They've been doing that for millennia. Some of them even preach that their god will reward them for bringing about the literal end of the world! Their sacred text doesn't even say that, and in fact specifically says that's not how it works, but they preach it anyway, and I don't see any legislators screaming for a crackdown. @apz
