Goon Danton posted:He literally shouted "all Jews must die" before he opened for on Shabbat services, why do we need to go through the loving "motives unknown" song and dance? it's deliberate. they want to discourage political violence. so they make a huge fuss about minor violations of political civility (like interrupting politicians' dinners) in order to head off any signs of people moving outside the system. but at the same time, whenever anything escalates to actual violence, they sweep the political motive under the rug in order to reduce the risk that people might be inspired to follow the example

it’s because she’s a white supremacist. a liberal one, sure, but a white supremacist none the less. all in all, you can see what being forced to remain in the taint of the American Union as an oft-forgotten territory has done for the people of Puerto Rico. they were justified separatists then and even more so now considering the events of this year alone. loving Eva Braun wannabe prick.

the question is whether free speech laws are more important than lives that article argues that holocaust denial laws are a slippery slope to fascism, and that unrestricted peaceful debate about the Holocaust has proven highly effective at discrediting Holocaust deniers and ending neo-Nazism in America quote:The previous cause celèbre over free speech in Austria was the English historian David Irving’s incarceration for Holocaust denial in 2005. Too few came to Irving’s defense, for the obvious reason that no one wanted to have to go through the metaphorical delousing process that association with that man entails. But note the trajectory: he was thrown in jail for lies, and now E. S.’s conviction is upheld not even for lying but for taking up one side of a controversy whose facts will almost certainly never be determined. The American system of virtually limitless debate has proved highly capable of discrediting Irving, and of allowing Islamophobes and Islamists to yap at each other. It blames violence on the violent. It is a model sadly unreplicated in the world, and its time has come on continents other than our own. they posted that on the same day that the synagogue shooting happened

It's great to argue endlessly over morally dubious poo poo because taking a stance is the slippery slope to fascism. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to recreationally shove my hand into a garbage disposal again.

tbf every book and article Ive read by professional debunkers of neo-nazi and holocaust denier poo poo has a disclaimer about the author's preference for academic ostracization over hate speech laws. ofc none of them are particularly upset on behalf of Zundel or anything either, they just believe it is more effective than fueling an insane narrative of persecution

A more sensible critique of hate speech laws is that they'd be used near-exclusively as a cudgel against the left and against minority groups, on account of the nature of political power, but that is already a concern with the laws we have now

Edit: above post is a good counter-example, though in the UK I mostly only remember reading news stories about right wingers getting done for hate speech.
