For those oh so super valuable virtue signal points, as if most of the services and products they use weren’t created with slave labor and run by people who’ve done far worse

Wow. The internet must be really rough for you if people don’t wear labels so you know who to hate before learning a damn thing about them!

🤔 look, I’m not defending bigotry….

But an aggressive homophobe seems like the type to be highly motivated to care deeply about working privacy tools these days

So who exactly do you trust?

😂😂😂 yes, because I made a joke I’m being paid by brave. You got me!

Question is, who’s paying you to get so butthurt over it?

Well at least you can admit it. That’s the first step

The real answer

The Irish government wants to pass a law that could see you or your loved ones jailed for possession of memes, cartoons or any content that could be deemed "hateful".

The Bill includes no definition of hate and is wide open to abuse by bad actors. Defend free speech – say no to this legislation, and any legislation of is kind... Anywhere!...

Is calling Epstein island visitors pedos hate speech?

Seriously, these NPCs give absolutely 0 thought to the negative things brain dead laws like this enable

…is calling trump supporters Nazis hate speech? That law is gonna have quite a lot of targets if so

You’re right, I haven’t given you enough time to move away down there at the bottom

Also, to reiterate another posters point: hate crime laws and hate speech laws are very different things.

The first one increases penalties for things already considered crimes, the second one criminalizes previously legal actions.

You’d have to be pretty brain dead to use those two concepts interchangeably, or to justify each other (which they often are)

Hate crime laws and hate speech laws are not the same thing. It’s completely disingenuous to act like they are or use the existence of one to justify the creation of another

You’re dealing with someone who wants to punish wrongthink. It’s a waste of time to respond rationally.
