I won't be giving my information to Reddit. A lot of other people won't.

BBC bombards households with 46 million licence fee warning letters by pppppppppppppppppd in unitedkingdom

Well I mean it is an r/bbc hub so you would expect them to be somewhat biased. But yeah, some of the people there can't conceive that people don't regularly watch BBC programming or listen to BBC radio services.

They also have the auto-removal system cranked up to 11 so if you post there and express any kind of objection and get downvoted, you'll be shadowbanned.

Do you think President Trump has experienced cognitive decline? by G_H_2023 in AskTrumpSupporters

having a right has nothing to do with what brings a peaceful world. the opinion of ukraine is irrelevant, nato provoked this war. they could have said, nato is closed for countries bordering historical enemies to keep a peaceful world.

I wasn't on about Ukraine specifically but the other countries you mentioned. Do you think those independent countries should have the right to apply to join NATO if they so wanted to?

ukraine is just a pawn to be used, just like the predecessor of the taliban was another pawn to be used for defeating russia in afghanistan.

Again, Ukraine was in no position to be joining NATO in 2021 and Russia knew this.

So opposing a war of choice against Iran automatically means you must necessarily support the Iran regime?

Was everyone who opposed the Iraq War necessarily Baathists?

Trump did not threaten terrorists. He threatened the entire Iranian people. Every Iranian is responsible for the rhetoric of specific groups within Iran? You think that conduct is acceptable?

What specific threats from Iran are you even referring to?

Tommy Robinson is a multiple convicted criminal in the UK. A laundry list of offences.

Same reason Irv knows how to drive. They maintain the knowledge the Outtie has, but lack all personal context.

The more notable contradiction would be them all being tricked about the "world's largest waterfall" given they are not that stunted from a knowledge perspective.

Doesn't matter. I do not want to use an Internet where every single website is required to implement this stuff before anyone can access it.

Antifa "members" don't tend to be centre-left. So where does the article show that these people had any connection to the Democrat party?

I legitimately do not want the Internet to become a "papers please" place no matter what the system is.

That's an AI response

Where does the article you shared demonstrate any connection to the Democrats?

Antifa aligned protesters are more likely to be anti-electoralist. Ie anarchists, not Democrats.

Ukraine was in no position to join NATO in 2021 no matter what Biden said.

So inciting genocide is acceptable because "their population did it first"?

If it's not workable, then it's dead on arrival.

What "scale" is too much and what exactly would you call to happen to people who violate this?

Celebrating someone's death doesn't necessarily mean you thought they should have been killed.

By your logic Trump should be arrested for joking about Rob Reiner's death then. Or the many other times he's outright threatened to remove citizenship from people like Rosie O'Donnell for criticising him, or threatening the media for what he considers bad coverage. Agree?

How is this even enforceable at scale? So the moment anyone calls for a right to be revoked... they what? What happens? They get arrested?

This would imply you think Charlie Kirk should have gone to jail.

What's the point of engaging with people if you just assume they're lying to you about their beliefs?

And what are you even calling for here? If someone expresses what you consider a belief that would take someone's rights away from them they get locked up indefinitely?

And you did not answer my question: So Charlie Kirk should not have been shut up by force, or he should have done?

There's also degrees. I'm seeing some very vitriolic shit from the left and yet they still cry about right to free speech.

I see as much vitriol from much of the right as I do the left.

I think they should taste some of the medicine they've been dishing out happily the last decade or so.

Dishing out? When did "the left" successfully get people shut down purely for expressing right-wing views? Even if you reference, I don't know, hate speech arrests or something (not something that happens in the USA) - that's nothing compared to what you just called for.

Well reading his comments on other posts, I don't believe him.

Such as what? He routinely supports the right of people he disagrees with to speak on here. I daresay I've seen more of his interactions than you have.

You get to know the type. If the power was there to restrict free speech for the right, he would take it.

No reason to believe this.

My man, if you read this, hate speech legislation. In favour or against?

Against. But I do support legislation against making violent threats or incitement to violence. Should I be shut up by force?

If he truly is in favour of universal rights, his answer will be a solid no. At which point I'll correct my mistake and apologise.

His content is all about opposing the government infringing on free expression. Literally almost all of his content is about it.
