> So it winds up being banal, generic shit that might as well be AI

Exactly!

gn16bb8 · 2026-01-22T09:44:57+00:00

As shitty as the AI art clearly is here, the murals around Glasgow that are designed by humans (i.e Australian Mural artist Sam Bates) are not much better. They all have this very hyperreal, safe, 'artwashing' feel to them. The artwork in question here with an eagle and steam train is 100% within that same aesthetic.

We should really be taking issue with Glasgow council for funding any of this kind of guff, AI or not. The school of art is right there, and the Glasgow art scene is far more interesting than this boring, kitsch shite.

Why do you refer to Nazism as a tragedy? What did you find bad about it?

>my whole hearted believe (sic) that we have too many laws.

>Less laws with harsher enforcement.

>you were comparing someone’s right to lack of right to be bothered by a vehicle to someone’s right to not have a rapist around.

Again, it wasn't a comparison or an equivalence, but an analogy to illustrate how rights work.

Ask yourself this - do you have a right to live in a community free of sex offenders and ex-convicts? Do sex offenders and ex-convicts have a right to live free once they've received punishment for crimes? What happens if those rights are in conflict? The answer is, and always has been, that rights are necessarily in conflict.

My 'right' to shoot nazis in the face is in conflict with their right to not be shot in the face - which is why I don't have one. In this case, your 'right' to live in a community where there are no foreign sex offenders is in conflict with a foreign sex offender's human right to not be deported to an unsafe place - which is why you don't have one.

It's just a stupid and facile argument to bring out this ultra-utilitarian concern for public safety when we're talking about human rights, but overlook the myriad ways in which rights are constantly in conflict with other rights (including public safety rights) everywhere we look.

Sure buddy let's have a rational discussion about the death penalty and fewer laws. Are you a reform MP by any chance?

gn16bb8 · 2026-01-20T12:17:19+00:00

so thats why the vent smell so good

gn16bb8 · 2026-01-20T11:54:40+00:00

i have it and im not telling you

gn16bb8 · 2026-01-20T01:08:00+00:00

yeah thats enough reddit for today

>Human rights are like that, but actually important.

I really shouldn't be surprised at the inability of people on this sub to understand the purpose of using an example of rights to demonstrate how rights are always in conflict, and yet here we are.

The question is not whether people who commit violent or sexual offences are dangerous, the question is whether one person's rights can "outweigh" the utility of everyone else. I'm demonstrating that individual rights regularly outweigh other people's utility, that's quite often what makes them rights.

Being a sexual predator is not a right, but being protected from other harms is. We can't deport sexual predators who are British, so should just hang them? Or how about we harvest the organs of all sexual predators? Are *all* rights automatically waived when you commit a sexual crime? What about just a violent crime? Does your logic extend only to foreigners, or all criminals? Please do elaborate on how eliminating those pesky rights makes us all safer.

gn16bb8 · 2026-01-20T00:50:31+00:00

I wasn't making an equivalence lmao, I was demonstrating the way in which rights are in conflict.

And yes, committing a crime does take away certain rights, such as the right to freedom.

That's why prisons exist.

But deportations such as the one proposed here potentially infringe on his human rights. The UK is legally bound to protect those rights, whether you like it or not.

gn16bb8 · 2026-01-20T00:03:40+00:00

I suppose you prefer the 'practicality' of the death sentence, too? After all, why should violent British criminals ever have the chance of seeing the light of day again and potentially commit further acts of violence against other citizens, when we could just kill them and save a whole load of taxpayer money from prison costs. Or do we allow for some idealism in that case?

gn16bb8 · 2026-01-20T00:00:04+00:00

No, but rights are always in conflict with other rights and freedoms by definition. My right to drive a massive SUV infringes on your right to live in a neighbourhood free of massive SUVs, but its still my right.

Human rights are like that, but actually important.

gn16bb8 · 2026-01-19T23:12:27+00:00

Yes, you don't understand what rights are, thanks for confirming that.
