>One common misconception among some Americans is that other western nations lack freedom of speech. ... >When people say X or Y nation lacks free speech, what they’re usually referring to is the lack of protections for hate-speech.

Pointing out hypocrisy is always whataboutism to people that don't like it being pointed out.

This seems to contradict statements like the one below that even a single laser, "...is no different than shooting a firearm at the helicopter."

I still don't understand. The person you originally replied to was celebrating "politically motivated academics" not interested in the truth being purged and you replied, vaguely, that there's an objective truth and then

I'm still super curious what the "objective truth" is in this case.

Well then lets apply the same standard to the statement that there were no lockdowns. Some countries like New Zealand wouldn't even let their own citizens fly home, and there were stories about people in China having their doors nailed

No replies with the downvotes, as impressive as usual. Looking back at this thread it seems every post disagreeing with the ridiculous statement that there were no lockdowns has been downvoted. Amazing.

Always blows my mind when people suggest the only reason someone wouldn't trust the US government is because they've fallen for some misinformation. The US government does a great job of destroying trust all by itself.

half my friends lost their jobs because of the not-a-lockdown. The fact that we could still buy FOOD doesn't mean we weren't locked down. What a terrible take. Well guys, we weren't physically barred in our homes and starved

weird take imo, I played multiple sports in highschool and every year I had to go have a doctor (always female, but I'm supposed to be ok with this I guess, but I wasn't) handle my genitals or I wouldn't be allowed to compete

"...men and boys were systematically executed..." huh?

Ummm what? This is maybe the dumbest thing I've ever read. The Massacre of the Bani Qurayza (627 AD): According to Islamic sources, during the siege of Medina in the aftermath of the Battle of the Trench, the Jewish tribe of Bani

if there's no evidence of it being harmful, why has it's use mostly been stopped? Why did the UNEP consider banning it, specifically to reduce mercury exposure? Why do they label it with a skull and crossbones? I don't really

Wow how rapidly you went from "read this" to "I'm not going to respond and just downvote everyone that disagrees with me" Edit: Oh ya another great part of this wiki page is when it states, "The United Nations

This wiki article is super weaselly and just plain gross. The first paragraph states that "In spite of the scientific consensus that fears about its safety are unsubstantiated,[6][7][8][9]..." If you actually check those sources t

I read the wiki page you linked and I came out with more questions. If you read the toxicology section it says pretty plainly that it's extremely toxic, moves freely about the body, distributes to all body tissue, crosses the blood-bra

"You're not arguing in good faith". You clearly didn't even read the headline, much less the article. Is that "good faith"? Set a good example for us lmao.

"Careful, sir. I think you've had too much to think. Any more comments like that and the thought police may be alerted. We wouldn't want that, would we?"

by shapenamer 3y ago
Ok, that's fair. Just to be clear I was not trying to insult you or your government. Just pointing out that the people that make up your government are very normal people with the same weaknesses and blind-spots as the rest of us. At t

I think it's very strange to say it's uniquely American when there have been, historically, far more tyrannical governments in Europe than just about anywhere else in the world and countries like Germany have criminalized basicall

Making death threats is already illegal and is not a "hate crime". You're advocating for governments to make more speech illegal, speech that you don't agree with. As far as your government turning to tyranny. I can&#x27

I'm not European but I find it incredibly bizarre that you would prefer such a thing. The worst Elon Musk can do to you is kick you off his platform. As soon as a government gets involved you're looking at being potentially locked
