My favourite is “absolute free speech!!” combined with “if you say something someone doesn’t like, they are entitled to punch you”

Anyone who says that is forgetting that punching falls under assault.

Hate speech is far beyond merely “something I don’t like”. It is advocating for the oppression and even eradication of people based on their very identity.

Hate speech should not be tolerated if we want to live in a society that tolerates the existence of others. (So called “paradox of tolerance” which is really not a paradox when you frame it as I have). We can tolerate the existence of bigoted assholes but prohibit them spreading their bigotry. Otherwise we live in a society that supports intolerance.

I was told earlier today this was due to a transporter accident.

Well, we sure as shit better not get “involved” on the ground in Iran.

The real obstacles are anti-intellectualism and extremist right wing propaganda.

Oh shut yer fuckin borscht hole already, сука блять

Coincidentally I just started to do so last night. Looking forward to these episodes.

True. But you also found out they were lies, so…

This is me. I see you

Sounds like something a bigot would say.

A fish rots from the head. Corporate culture all flows from the CEO and board. If a bigoted piece of shit is in charge, this is what you get. Because the top of the company sets and enforces policy. So if they don’t care about bigotry or if they are bigoted themselves, they won’t set or enforce policies to stop it. They will hire bigoted management. Those bigots won’t stop it and probably encourage it. They hire bigoted workers who will persecute others and face no consequences. Those who anti-bigots can report but will be ignored or face retaliation.

Use of lethal force is a positive defense for homicide in all US states when one is under imminent threat of serious bodily injury and I am pretty sure rape falls under that. This law comes from common law so I wonder if India also inherited this from England?

My guess is room for bust and hips. (Let’s hope they didn’t also shrink the pants pockets to the size of a quarter)

Multiple times since 2016 it has hit home like never before: anything related to freedom and democracy has to be continually fought for. When we stop being vigilant (say from 1974-2015) those that seek money and power above all else chip away at everything until they get it.

Sounds a lot like me. That’s not communism, that’s just being a decent person. One that respects others and just wants everyone to live a good life without being the target of hate and harassment.
