We'll have to run speakeasies that fulfill the term's prima facia interpretation.

What an odd straw man. The war on drugs failed because it unrealistically tried to ban all drugs. No one is trying to ban all guns, and no one is trying to ban "all things political." If your entire belief system is lumped in with "hate speech," it's a good signal to reexamine your alignment over crying censorship.

  > If your entire belief system is lumped in with "hate speech," This ad hominem and odd straw man projection is exactly proving my point. Keep pushing it further until the pendulum swings back and the censorship you are pushing for comes back to bite back in the behind. And I won't be there to defend then. Just yesterday we had a trending post on HN about the censorship of Palestinians. The Palestinians are getting censored under the mask of "anti-semitism" and the Israelis / christians are getting censored under the mask of "islamaphobic". Women not wanting biological men competing in women's sports are being censored under the mask of "transphobic".

      For someone who enjoys claiming "odd straw man" in your original comment, you surely do love making "odd straw man" out of my comment.

Funny thing is, Canada was the one who jumped on the porn ban bandwagon back in the day when it was pushed (but failed) in US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catharine_A._MacKinnon#International_work https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catharine_A._MacKinnon#Interna...
