Yep, Trump was openly musing about punishing SNL of all things for mean skits. He would easily define criticism of HIM as 'hate speech'. Exactly why all speech should always be allowed, because a government comes along who decides this speech over here that I don't like is now labeled as harmful, because I said so.
- Zezel

Trump mused about a lot of things. He could never define criticism of him as hate speech. As I said above, hate speech laws need to be crafted properly.

Wait? The Nazis were anti hate speech and the Allies were pro hate speech? The distinction between what laws a fascist government put in place top control the population and the hate speech Hitler used to incite racial violence against the Jews are entirely different.

Nobody is talking about widespread limits on freedom of speech. Hate speech laws need to be very specifically focused to address a very specific problem. Canada's courts have reviewed those laws to see if they unnecessarily infringe our rights. They don't.

We clearly won't agree. I'm an absolutist on free speech.

Imo free speech is essential.
I've voted both for extreme left parties as well as right - to make sure that their stupidity is exposed. Also because they're both the best guard-dogs for any wrong doings by their opposition.

Shame on you. AA is clearly a scholar and a gentleman.

Holy (frank), catfood giving a dissertation about Nazi policies is about the same as Forrest Gump lecturing on Galois Theory.

Or they don't want people like you to have any control over their lives - at all.

It is a truly short sighted person who can't see that additional laws on speech will eventually be used against you. Do you really want someone like Trump to have MORE power?

We've had anti hate speech laws in effect for 35 years. Tell me about how it is ruining your life?

And they are, and we're freer and more safe because of them.

Are we just going to ignore the facts i posted about the freedom rankings, and that the US is slotted between Belize and Slovakia?

How's it giving Trump more power by limiting hate speech? It would limit his power to commit hate speech if anything..
- Arctic_AARDVARK

This is the short sightedness of the argument.

Do you honestly think additional hate speech laws would not be used to shut down criticisms of white people by someone like Trump? What is hate speech? We already have laws against calls to violence and that is plenty.

If someone wants to hate me, that is their right. I expect others to intervene if there is violence or threats of violence against me. Thats about it.

Let's focus on our common ground here. Nylander is underrated, and Dubas is a visionary.

You do realize we hate anti-hate speech laws in Canada, right?

Guess what, they're working.

The millions of AA's on twitter and other social networks is what makes them pretty much unreadable imo. A total lack of self-insight...

Its not.

The anti hate speech laws currently focus on calls to violence. Which is plenty. I obviously support preventing calls to violence.

Again, current law focuses on calls to violence.

i was referring to additional restrictions. If you were not advocating for additional restrictions, then I was confused and we are all good.

Not like anyone would line up to support you... oh wait, we already do. How’s the bag of shrooms we bought you. We’re here for you if you need another. Maybe help with your first and last months rent at your next place, when you stiff these landlords. LOL

It doesn't focus on calls for violence. It focuses on inciting hatred against a specific group.
