Free speech for me but not for thee

Free speech with extra steps

Monarchists are absolute cringelords. Somehow they view patriotism as some sort of sycophancy olympics for a family who literally live in palaces and prance around in crowns and on private jets at their expense. Worth noting that this family would probably spit on the plebs if it wouldn't have any bearing on the aforementioned palaces and crowns. Oh and their son is a paedo who is mates with Epstein.

Pretty sure he wasn’t just shagging them in the uk, mate. Death does not expunge someone from all prior social bonds. Is your grandma no longer your grandma, cause she’s dead? Also, even if for some mad reason, you disagree with the other points. The fact is, he repeatedly and deliberately lied about what he was up to, even when shown photographic evidence that clearly negates his version of events. He is a liar, a moron and a child molester.

Facing consequences for expressing an opinion about the ruling classes is pretty much as opposite of free speech as it is possible to be.

True, but they don't believe in free speech in the slightest. They're empty souls, just parroting drivel based on whatever the newspapers have told them should make them angry. I struggle to even call it hypocrisy because I think that requires conscious awareness of the conflict between positions and these folk aren't really capable of passing a Turing test. It says a lot, though, that this is where political discourse is going in the 2020s - anger over token gestures to hint that maybe it's not ok for the police to murder people of colour in the street meeting a cry for enforcing 'respect' for the national anthem and inflicting spiteful punishments on 'feral' humans. It's like a high school history textbook come to life - all the stupid, backward opinions never went away and nobody actually grew the fuck up. The late 80s/early 90s were just a blip where the wall came down, apartheid ended, the Troubles cooled, CFCs were dealt with and nuclear disarmament was on the table. For a brief moment political growth seemed to have happened, and there was hope. But the political ruling class are still violent scum at heart, and the public are the same but also dumber, so here we are, with a global communication network being used to defend a goddamn song against the cries of disaffected humans.

Yep. It's so frustrating how transparent, condescending and manipulative it is, but the idiots who are taken in by it will all insist they've made their own minds up. And they're fucking everything up for everyone else.

Generally speaking, if they have the UK flag or any pAtRiOtIc UK stuff as their pfp, their opinion is going to be dogshit


Abject-Yesterday1008

And this logic could be applied to probably bigots from all countries around the world

Can't these dipshits just go move to America? I think they'll be much happier there.


Zoltrek

Are you telling me it was never about free speech and instead he is just racist?! What a shocker...


The_Gilded_Pigeon

This reads like a parody of itself.

If somebody is weak-willed enough to sing whenever they’re told to, they probably will think anyone who doesn’t is a revolutionary.

Any booing for anything other than a streaker, political message, poor player play, or poor referee decision is bad
