There still seems to be a notion that though policing is possible

Dankula was convicted for 'gross offense'

its why my other reddit handle is modernthoughtcontrol

Thought policing is seriously the risk of the next 10 years, even more so than before

well... he was convicted for using the internet ehy being grossly offensive... had he not used the internet he would have been fine...

you say that but 1) what else would he use and 2) doesn't matter, any charge can be trumped up

that law is beyond stupid...

if you are part of the wrong think, look out

What lotheron said. You also have to consider, this is a nation with a police force dedicated to television.

the could probably apply the law to mobile phone networks and things like that...

Their media is pretty close to government controlled, closer than ours is.

example, I dont care which side of gun control.. there is a distinct difference in coverage between fl and the one that was just stopped yesterday by a peace officer..

The Internet is the last bastion of freedom in that regard, and the Dankula case law seals that.

I hope the Dankula case will open up eyes

well... the one yesterday was stopped so... it didnt happen... or something...

Oh, it has.

People I didn't expect to side with him are siding with him.

Seeing Ricky Gervais come out in support, for instance, is heartening.

Rubin is a prophet

his video of the year he called it said said this would be the year of unlikely alliances

i thought he is a classical liberal? 😄

did you know he's gay too?

I agreEEE with that.

you agREEEEEEEE with that?

you watch too many podcasts with f'ing white males

I.... DisagrEEEEEE... with that....

Tim isn't a white male.

😄

I think Falko's referring to the podcaster that uses that as a sounder... 😛

haha never heard it

Guilty as charged, I do listen to Beauty and the Beta.

i'm thinking of calling in later but... stupid americans keep streaming in the middle of the night (european time 😄 )

And not particularly for Blonde's take, either. I'm fascinated with cases of agreeable leftists. Hence, why I'm here. I'm looking forward to deradicalization of the left and right, so that we can actually all just talk again and find the points both sides agREEE on.

i don't really care for left/right... i look at a given policy and decide what i think is best... i really hate the partisan bullshit

don't look at me then 😦 i'm a radical centrist

Oh, so am I. I've gone so far as to call myself a 'militant centrist'. 😛

thats too sane

It's really not a matter of 'left' vs 'right' anyway

yeah

its a "capitalist vs socialist"

its a matter of idiots vs idiots
