I want to believe he actually read the shooter manifesto and tweets and realized how lame it was… or he doesn’t want risk it when the feds discover the shooter’s ERA account.

[Averon]

Doops experiencing self-awareness? He realizes witching hunting online is a stupid, time waste exercise? 

What's the catch? 

Rarely do we see a prominent from ERA have this level of self-awareness.

[Boredfrom]

Maybe he enjoys the witch hunt as trolling, not as something to actually take seriously as he may started to do.

A lot of people in the Twitter TransMafia were 4chan and SomethingAwful shitposters.

The fact is that he is admitting he did shit in bad faith, like everyone here suspected, speaks a lot about his priorities.

[benji]

 

Oh, so he's coming out as a pedophile. That's why he ran from Era, afraid they'd see his posts as Epstein-coded. Typical fragile white male "ally" with no impulse control. Leaving it to queer people of color like Nepenthe to slave away holding the line for a better tomorrow.

Also using a gendered slur.

[benji]

This is EXACTLY why we tell y'all you can't trust white males. Because y'all aren't serious.

Where is the freedom? Again, that you can call me a beautiful Black body?.... Like, okay sure. I'd honestly rather be in Bahia right now.

Putin and Xi are not using laws prohibiting hate speech against minorities to persecute dissidents. Also Russia and China are not dictatorships that imprison, dissappear and murder political dissidents because of such laws. Those countries are in no shape or form examples of hate speech laws against minorities leading to bad things.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/brazilian-comedian-sentenced-to-jail-for-racist-homophobic-jokes.1211220/page-9#post-141294081

The world would be a much better place if the continued persistence of hate that has contributed to millions upon millions of unnecessary deaths is granted a fitting end with the appropriate punishments.

To make a better world possible, you simply have to address the people who are preventing that goal from being achieved. This mindset will piss a lot of people off, but I don't give a shit.

So please, spare us all this fairytale notion that your right to call me a beautiful Black body and to call for Indigenous genocide is so sacrosanct and necessary to the very fabric of civilization itself that criminalizing it will lead to totalitarianism.

God.

Not an American but
…
Some who'll actually finally give US Hate speech laws in place, I'm sorry Hate speech should never have been treated like free speech in the US, it's fucked so many Americans think it is.

God the US needs Hate Speech laws, I will never fucking understand the US mentality that we should protect racists, homophobic people etc to say dangerous and hateful things towards people with less power (or suggesting that saying people shouldn't be allowed to say racist thing = Fascism).

https://www.resetera.com/threads/if-bothers-me-how-western-democracy-is-foundationally-flawed-hate-speech-is-not-free-speech-but-a-tool-for-oppression.1403521/

Hate speech is not free speech, it is a tool of the privileged to oppress and keep down the people they consider below them, that should be blatantly obvious if you ever take a quick look at the rhetoric of Nazi scum like Trump (edit: I wrote a lot of this days ago but didn't post, fitting Trump proved exactly my point in the meantime) go on and on about "Free Speech" because they see Hate speech as a tool of power and control; a tool to keep down minorities and women; it's why they hate the Civil Rights Movement and other movements and attempts by minorities to make things more equal. It's not the only tool of course, their is a reason why Nazis and right wingers want to destroy and control the education system (since a well educated populace is well less receptive to their BS).

Which is why it frustrates me so many progressives and liberals in the UK and US insist that hate speech is free speech, that we SHOULD defend people's right to be racist, sexist, post hateful and bigot things etc because "It would be just as bad" as oppressing minorities which is just insane. I see from YouTubers like Legal Eagle, I've seen from Liberals and Progressive in real life and online and it's so annoying because their working on a very flawed premise; that our society is a equal one, that our democracy was built on the idea of equal rights for all... Which is isn't and wasn't and it's depressing to fully realize that's built in from a foundational level.

I feel that the simplest case that free speech is not some grand protection against tyranny is how America's free speech laws haven't stopped the likes of Fox News, Joe Rogan, Alex Jones and what have you from causing the country's own descent into fascism, but in fact protected them as they did so.

To me, my reaction to hate speech is the same as it'd be if someone proudly proclaimed to be a pedophile. If were not going to tolerate that, we shouldn't be tolerating the vitriol against folks just trying to live and love a little bit different than you.
Free speech my mother fucking ass I'm sitting back and allowing that.

Frankly I'm surprised Trump hasn't weaponized hate speech laws against any criticism of whiteness.

Yeah agree,with regards to your hate speech weaponization point it's probably cause it wouldn't stick its incredibly hard to get hate speech on anyone's record in America

The thing is that people here seem scared of said safeguards being turned against themselves by an authoritarian government.
But the issue is that this hypothetically can be attributed to anything. It's the "Hate Speech Laws? But what if the Government™ gets to dictate what Hate means?" slippery slope fallacy. Even though Hate Speech Laws are a good thing, I don't expect the US to understand what would be necessary to enact such laws. Just goes to show how American institutions are a failure that the citizens no longer trust basic safeguards.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/joseph-gordon-levitt-lobbies-to-end-section-230.1436524/#post-151369501

But, freedom of speech, without criminalization of hate speech in tandem, is not an entirely good thing.

This makes me immediately think it shouldn't exist in its current form because the first amendment and the american idea of freedom of speech are both pretty bad. Americans are allowed to say the most vile things without consequences in the name of "freedom of speech" and through the internet they flood the world with this BS.

It's not a bad idea and it works for the majority of the world, america is the odd one out not the other way around and that you think america has it all figured out is kind of ridiculous when america is one of the most fucked up countries at the moment partly because people are allowed to spread lies and hateful content all day long.

The american idea of freedom of speech is toxic and the direct cause of a lot of harm.

The way forward I think is to get this classified as hate speech, which I'm surprised but not shocked that it isn't already.

If we're talking about a reworking of the Constitution the first amendment is absolutely part of that. I agree it shouldn't be abolished completely but it also shouldn't apply to corporations via Citizens United or have blanket protections for hate speech or lying from politicians and those issues are inherent in absolute protections as interpreted by SCOTUS.
We have examples of other countries doing just fine without blanket free speech protections, and ignoring those countries is absolutely US centric.

That they really consider it a smoking gun when someone reacted to Kirk with "fuck political violence" is pretty insane. And then B-Dubs keeps wondering why he has to keep deleting threads.

In terms of PR moves, I get why they'd do it, but for the sake of philosophical argument - should guilt of a crime automatically mean erasure of activity?

Though the problem isn't really independent libertarian bastion and brave adamant protector of free expression Valve, taking action in line with fascist government interests here

They just made it so you can't buy it anymore: https://store.steampowered.com/app/945530/Bohrdom/

Probably because people were buying it to post reviews about it just because of this. 99.9% of all the reviews all time of the game came since the WHCD.

They pulled a game made by a person who attempted to murder a world leader. You guys are delusional if you think they will keep it on there.

They pulled it because they are techno-fascist billionaires who don't mind Nazis and will openly cater to them to enshrine their wealth and dominance. Let's not pretend it's anything different.

morrigan and nepenthe are at each other's throats in the red button blue button thread, though I haven't bothered to understand the full context yet

https://www.resetera.com/threads/current-discourse-red-or-blue-button-era.1501903/page-20#post-154297060

So like, if you wanted to argue that, I don't know, blue voters are akin to Rudyard Kipling's style of racism because they're branding themselves as righteous saviors of the burdensome red-buttoner masses, and really I'm just some white-knight colonizer, then okay, make that argument.

I mean of course I won't make that argument, because that would be completely unhinged...

I don't really give a shit and it's weird that you do.

*looks at "Who replied" stats*
Uh-huh.

Do you think my interest in the discussion is somehow an admittance that I think people who push red are legitimately terrible people? Talk about being unhinged.
