Sultana somewhat marred that excellence earlier today by insisting on sticking to the line that the planes at Brize Norton were “connected” with flights over Gaza, which they were not. Sticking to that story makes it easier to discount their better reasoning.

A new activist group has popped up and called itself Yvette Cooper. Amazing stuff

In 6 hours it will be illegal to be named "Yvette Cooper" in the UK, with a sentence of up to 14 years in prison.

Probably not, since that’s the name of the UK Home Secretary who nominated Palestine Action to be designation as a terrorist group in the first place…

We’re also losing our freedom of speech in America, so we Americans can sympathize a bit.

You’ve actually lost your citizenship for that Thoughtcrime. Have fun in El Salvador. -people who will only stop when met with violent force

They just passed an “assault weapons ban” in my stare that has super low gun violence rates, and bans anything with a magazine, picatinny rails, forward grips, just ridiculous shit. Only 10 Republicans (the party pretending to be all for gun rights) voted against it which shows this is a concerted effort to disarm leftists and prevent us from arming ourselves while fascism breaks out in the usa and the two largest growing groups of gun owners are currently LGBTQ people and women of color. So yeah let’s concentrate weapons in the hands of police who are involved in every 1 Of twenty firearm homicides. As well as rich people and their paid mercenaries (thugs) it’s a great time to be an American

Nonviolent direct action has earned them the label “terrorists.”

When the sentence is the same for non-violent protest and for actual terrorism, don’t be surprised if things get more extreme quickly.

Just more newspeak, like Trump calling everything he posts online “truths” while being nothing but lie after lie.

Cicero was world class complainer after all.
Quik@infosec.pub 8 months ago
Grrrrr, he very likely didn’t say that.
The closest to it I could find is “The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws” by Tacitus (The Annals of Imperial Rome).
Cicero lived at the end of the republic, his problem wasn’t too many laws…

Codifying your genocide support into law. Nice.

if they promise to only paint things orange on military bases i think that’s ok
we’ll take their word for it

If there is ever justice for Palestine they trials will be short. These bastards are so proud of their support for genocide.

You cheer for censorship when it aligns with your beliefs. Yet call the slippery slope a “fallacy.”
See what happens?
jimjam5@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I can sort of see the point you’re trying to make (as I too in a comment have called for censorship but in a different but very specific context), but I feel that you’re not exactly acknowledging the issue being discussed in this thread which is that people won’t be able to state their thoughts about the government of a country that is killing people en masse. It’s a moral position that should be easy to support: it’s wrong to ethnically cleanse a population of people.

Now that’s a good looking straw man.
timewarp@lemmy.world 8 months ago
This really is a big part of it. A lot of Democrats weren’t upset about authoritarianism & fascism, they were upset it wasn’t their version.

Can you give an example of what you mean?
I can think of people saying those who post misinformation that promote hate crimes should be held accountable. Aimlessly claiming trans people are pedophiles or saying you should lock up all 62,000,000 Latinos because of their ethnicity means they are automatically criminal shouldnt be promoted.
Those wants are for the same reason sites like Lemmy have rules. Is it because Lemmy is pro Authoritarians and Fascists? I don’t think so.
Freedom of speech was never the liberty to say anything, it was the ability to speak out against your government. If someone is publishing that lead paint can cause harm to the populace, it is in the best interest of the population and shouldn’t be censored, but if I am publishing that water based paints are causing cancer with no scientific backing of my claims because I run a oil based paint company, that information should be refuted and be held liable for impacts caused on water based paint companies.

Just because your argument is fallacious doesn’t mean the conclusion is wrong.
“Black people are hot therefore they should be treated equally” is an example that I can immediately come up with.
