You are still wrong, and the parent comment is correct. The political axis may be invisible to //you// because you are privileged. A bathroom is political. Food is political. Education is political.

This is absolute quackery. Your camera's cell phone barely manages to hold approximately eight stops of latitude. Blowing out that pathetic dynamic range has no grounding in relation to any notion of "eye strain".

Section 130 was introduced in 1946 with the new legislation. Beyond that, you missed the part where they discuss the lack of civil recourse / remedies for hate speech prior to the war. > most legal experts think this law is not cons

Cite the laws, cite the history of the dates implemented. Civil remedies did not exist. I have provided you with actual legally traceable citations to law and their implementations. You cited a propaganda poster. You are conflating a regime

Have you researched the history of section 130 and 131? It doesn't appear you have any awareness as to the history of the laws, nor what constitutes a "hate" law. Basis for 130 131 laid in 1946. History of hate laws in German

So you are suggesting that a country that birthed one of the worst fascist regimes, and that implemented strong hate speech laws after such, is behind the USA?
144.
by foolrush 8y ago
Look to Germany. I said "behind" because it requires a certain national hubris to not acknowledge the horrific turn of events that came out of a country, and in turn, acknowledge what they have learned from it.

Depending on the words, it is entirely illegal in many countries around the world. The USA is behind the curve on that.

Indeed I do support hate speech laws. As does a majority of the rest of the world. There is a correlation between the support of freedom of speech and gender / race, unsurprisingly. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi&#

I would happily "kill" your idea of "beauty" if it means more people can live the life you are without detrimental effects of hate speech on them, yes. You realize which country has some of the more effective and stringe

Social science research indicates that it isn't about "hiding" hate directed speech, but rather to consider the impact on the victims of such speech. That is, when one is able to say the word "hiding", it is spoken

The inevitable discussion about the need for hate speech laws in the USA is lurking. Sadly, the USA had a chance at them a while back, but I believe it was Justice Scalia who struck it down?
