The left want to ban right wing abuse but want to keep the privilege of the left to abuse as they see fit.

I think you have rumbled their cunning plan.

Only the right sort of freedoms will be allowed.

I am not saying that I know the answer, I will leave that to the better prepared. Its just that by preventing people from speaking their minds doesn't make the racism go away it just supresses it. Isnt it better for these people to be in the open so that we know who they are.

There's a serious point to be made as too how today's political and public/private institutions are responding and reacting against comedy that someone or groups might find offensive..

I remember when the 'hate speech' laws were introduced a few years ago by our SJW May as home secretary and commentators such as Rowan Atkinson and today's David Davies amongst many others attacking it for being open to abuse.

Didn't change anything and the 'slippery slope' claim was denied as you'd expect.

Well, now we have a YouTuber called Count Dankula, who occasionally posts comedic videos on his channel which some might find offensive....here's one he did recently.

Well, he also did one where he trained his girlfriend's dog...which she said was really cute, he trained it to make a Nazi salute. He wanted to get it to do the most offensive thing he could think of......satirical comedy is being shut down when enough people can convince the state to act.

Well, he's being taken to court for 'hate speech'. This is our own Police doing this.

Here's Tim Pool's video on the matter.

I don't think he's very funny, but its his channel and its avoidable - So why be offended. As long as its not hateful, no one should give a f**k. I think some 'satirists' aren't fooling anyone and don't really have a scope to their satire beyond agenda nonsense but that's not my business.

The dog thin, weirdly the only people who should be offended by this, are Nazis and his girlfriend (presumably now ex). Granted, I have more regard for dogs than Nazis, but still, it must rankle them more seeing their belief system reduced to something a dog understands.

Its a bit like Dappy or Celebrity or p*** (the kinds I don't like), as long as I can avoid it to a reasonable degree, then I'm fine. When it spills out from the 'controlled space' then its a problem.

I agree.....the point at which freedoms become unfair is when people can't reasonably get away from them or are compelled to deal with them.

Though I have an exception to this in the area of immigration where the state decides that the people living in an area have no ownership over it and a new group is allowed to take the area over and change it culturally.

There people have a right to have their complaints heard.

But outside of that I'd agree with the point.

His girlfriend attended court with him....he even said it was a joke at the beginning of the video. This whole thing is years old now.....the court extended this case till March on Friday....This case has now gone on for twice the length of the Nuremberg trials.
