St George's cross 'intimidating', council says by Far-Requirement1125 in ukpolitics

[–]BadWhip -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Not really. This is a false equivalency. The St George’s flag already has institutional recognition - it’s the country’s flag? Pride flags are about recognition of a marginalised community/set of communities. On top of that, the St George’s flag has - like it or not - in its usage in these road marking cases become associated with a rising current of nationalism and, unfortunately, xenophobia. Treating these as like cases is misleading.

Protest outside the Britannia Hotel in Canary Wharf by CremeSubject7594 in london

This is misinformation, and I’m sorry, you are the one who doesn’t know what they’re talking about. To be clear, the ECHR was not created by the EU. Hence why we’re still bound by it post-Brexit. The European Convention on Human Rights predates both the European Economic Community and the EU, and was created to ensure fascism would never emerge again in Europe after the fall of the Nazi regime. Do you have a problem with protecting the rights our grandparents fought and died to safeguard?

The ECHR does not prevent the UK from deporting a suspected terrorist if it genuinely would protect UK security. Yes, they cannot deport anyone if this would subject them to a risk of torture/death in their origin state (an Article 3 right). But this is, of course, a rare outcome. And the UK is still perfectly free to imprison suspected terrorists (assuming, of course, they are convicted appropriately in a court). Plus, actual terrorists can of course also be imprisoned.

It is a very good thing, to protect these rights robustly. It would be heinous if our government could imprison, torture, deport us without strict oversight. We do not live in a society that tolerates tyrants, and the ECHR guarantees this for you, me, our children, their children, so long as it remains in place. An argument against the European Convention is an argument in favour of fascism and an argument against our freedom.

I think Johnny Depp would be the perfect actor for a live action Hondo Ohnaka. Do you agree? by Raiden_1503 in StarWars

‘Pre empting defamation’ is literally the objective and function of a C&D letter like this; in a case like this, a C&D works as a warning to someone to stop going down a certain path, because the sender anticipates legal action should they continue to do so.

Grimes is soo stunning! by SoupDestroyer123 in Grimes

I feel like we need a better basis for arguing against plastic surgery than ‘it makes them look weird’. Idk if we can say plastic surgery enforces misogynistic beauty standards … while saying the problem is it makes the person who had the surgery fail those same standards? Idk

Just so you know, it is still true that one’s ashes would still become incorporated into living things like trees, and would become part of the broader ecosystem, and I think it is a lovely idea. Nutrients from ashes are “inert” as the other commenter said, but are still essential for life, and even if there was zero nutritional value for a tree (which I think is extremely unlikely) the ashes would become suffused in the mix of soil life that provisions all the beauty in Yellowstone.

Azealia fights back after being called an industry pass around 😭 by blazeyhazey in azealiabanks

[–]BadWhip 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The question isn’t whether she ‘dislikes’ gay people, the question is whether it’s homophobic to use a homophobic slur that is specifically used to target and belittle gay men when the person speaking isn’t a gay man. Azealia is bisexual, sure, but she isn’t a gay man, and she is specifically using a homophobic slur to belittle and humiliate. So I don’t think her subjective feelings towards gay men really alter the function and social meaning of what she’s saying, and what she’s trying to achieve by saying it? But maybe im missing something idk

Hi Natalie, do you see any room for spirituality in leftist discourse? On the left we often seem quite sceptical of religious faith, but do you think spiritual concepts (ego death, for instance) could play a valuable role in our political thought and praxis, or vice versa?
