Scotland officially bans free speech

@raphjd said in Scotland officially bans free speech:
What do you call this;
Lol, no they don't. Alarmist, whiny BS.
Is that an attack or is that just being a good liberal?
It probably counts as an attack. Unfortunately, nobody has a monopoly on name-calling and insulting other posters in the forum, although I've noticed a couple of people who seem to be competing for that title.

You probably don't realize it, but it makes you look like a hypocrite when you attack me for something, while blatantly ignoring the same thing from someone to who I was replying.

I made no such attack. My whole point is that attacking others is inappropriate for useful discussion. I try not to use the word "you" in a reply unless it's clearly complimentary.
I once heard a proverb that, "If you throw a stone into a pack of dogs, the one that yelps is the one that you hit." It is good to think on that...but as staunch dog lover, I'm a bit uncomfortable with the proverb.

Look up Nick Griffin going on BBC's Question Time. His free speech ended his political career, and for good reason.
Liberals think hate speech does not apply to the groups they hate, such as CIS white people, especially CIS white men. We saw this with NYT defending Sarah Jeong.
Liberals allow people to make homophobic comments and then lie about it, as long as they hate Trump. We saw this with Joy Reid.
There's a never-ending list of liberals approving of hate speech because it's hateful toward the people they hate.

@80sboy hitler was a socialist. he used socialism to justify his antisemitism. that's how he managed to get rabble rousers that helped him get popular.

@raphjd democracy succumbs to islamism

I live in Scotland and I can tell you that the new hate speech law isn't liked, outside of certain groups.

this guy is hilarious.
"muh libtards"
certainly didn't expect this kind of garbage discussion on a gay torrent forum but whatever. -
We'll see what happens now that SNP + Greens = IndyRef2 majority in Holyrood, especially with a Green presiding officer and an SNP Deputy PO. I fear a UK High Court battle will happen next year...

If you hate free speech so much, does that mean I can ban for liberal speech and you'd be supportive? Of course, not. As we've seen elsewhere, then speech rules apply to liberals, they freak out.

The opposition parties have the majority by 1 seat.
I would not doubt if the LibDems will sell their souls, once again, for a bit of power and join the SNP and Greens.
-
@raphjd Incorrect. SNP have 64. Greens have 8. That's a majority. Greens support independence. If Greens didn't. Then yes, LibDems + Labour + Tories + Greens = 65 seats. But Greens support independence. 64 + 8 = 72. All IndyRef2 needs is a simple majority of 65. Sturgeon has that with SNP + Green votes.

@raphjd "are you saying this site should be a liberal echo chamber?"
nice display of mental gymnastics, care to show proof of when I said anything like that?"If you hate free speech so much"
another great display of mental gymnastics.
I imagine your boyfriend loves you in bed from all that stretching. -
Ok, whatever you say, dearie.
You called what I posted a "garbage discussion on a gay torrent forum".
Clearly, if I was in favor of the new hate speech laws you wouldn't find it a "garbage discussion".
Maybe you are one of those gay people that think gays are all 1 dimensional and only talk about cocks, fisting, and drag outfits. I'm sure you can find a forum that suits your needs.
More likely, you can't understand why some gays aren't part of the fag mindhive.
-
@raphjd you can discuss this stuff without going on a /pol/ induced mania about "da libs".
the "garbage discussion" was specifically aimed at the way you discuss this new law, not the discussion around it as a whole.
"maybe you are one of those gay people that think gays are all 1 dimensional and only talk about cocks, fisting, and drag outfits"
no, I'm one of those bisexual people who thinks that gay people would be a bit more intelligent and mature when it comes to discussing such topics instead of trying to push a boogeyman like they are some Facebook grandma.
"you can't understand why some gays aren't part of the fag mindhive"
you aren't unique for knowing about rainbow capitalism or wokeness.
get off your high horse. -
So, if I don't pander to your views, it's a garbage discussion and I'm unintelligent.
Typical liberal.
