They want to make negative comments on immigration illegal.

Besides, if a country wants to protect its waters it has a right.

We havent had freedom of speech on that issue for a while in the UK

There are no rights, these are abstractions

such is the fun of hate speech

We don’t have freedom of speech

We have restriction of speech

Who lobbied hard for racial discrimination laws?

That’s what the hate speech laws are for

👃

The men of my own stock,
Bitter bad they may be,
But, at least, they hear the things I hear,
And see the things I see;
And whatever I think of them and their likes
They think of the likes of me.

Hate speech accomplishes nothing but wasting taxpayers money

Change my mind

That’s where you’re wrong

It gives the illusion, or attempts to at least give the illusion of stability, normalcy and homogeny.

You can't have a working society with multiple different creeds without the ability to talk about the significant differences between one another

Or to insult someone you don’t like

everyone just wants to keep hush hush and not talk about anything that can be deemed offensive

To put it bluntly anyway

They dont want to be hush hush, they're being forced to be hush hush

All it does is push the people like holocaust deniers etc that should be challenged further underground to where they can’t be challenged

heck, I wonder if I'll get picked up by the gestapo for calling Scottish people jocks

And then boom echo chamber

well I didn't mean they want to be hush hush of their own volition

You people still miss it.

I doubt it,

They will call you to check your thinking though

I mean that people keep their mouths shut for fear of repercussion

@Azeno Why should these people be challenged? Is that really your first concern with freedom of speech

No, it’s not

But it’s part of the effect

Holocaustianity

People don’t talk about issues, when there are none. If people aren’t talking about it, then it’s not in the public eye, it’s not going to be debated. So, if you’re stopped from talking about it, then naturally the issue isn’t resolved.

And the holocaust denier thing was just the first thing I could think of, not the most important by far

Which is all by design.

"out of sight, out of mind"

@Azeno Thats how well its been browbeaten into you

Why would they want you talking about those low skilled workers taking your jobs? Depressing wages? Earning THEM money?

You see it as the highest order of evil

Why would they want the good times to stop?

They don’t.
