I don't think I'm being underhanded when I say it's fine to use all sorts of tactics to destroy my ideological opponents because I'm quite open about that and my ideological opponents are knobheads. Neither the method nor the aim is remotely devious.

The problem with this that it starts by limiting a persons speech because its offensive till you get to the point where even thinking certain things makes you guilty of a thought crime? You should be free to say as you please but not free from the consequences your words cause

Everybody should be able to say whatever they want! It's a free country after all! *cops, bosses, regularly using racist and homophobic insults against people legally and economically subordinate to them, safe in the knowledge that they're largely protected from any retaliation or consequences from their victims* Whew, thank god for freedom! God bless america and god bless the bill of rights and the constitution! *rides a bald eagle into a burning pile of pigshit*

Intrinsic Field Marshal posted:Violence should not be used on either side Ideally true! However violence is going to be used by one side and refusing to use it in turn simply concedes a practical method of opposition and allows it to be perpetuated by the other side. So in practice no, violence absolutely can and should be used where it can be efficaciously employed to prevent further violence, particularly against noncombatants.

I propose a compromise. Everybody can use all the racist (and other) slurs they like, and everybody else is free to knock their teeth out. A slur is an attack, after all, with no purpose in a debate or a discussion except to insult and hurt people. So it's morally equivalent to a kick in the teeth.

jabby posted:As an amateur photographer I always get a little bit worried when people say that being photographed/filmed while out in public is a violation of your personal privacy. If you were going to do something about it, where do you draw the line between taking snapshots that happen to contain members of the public and unacceptable creeping on people? The line is at the exact moment when you start behaving like a creep. You may also wish to consider that, especially in the era of digital photography, some people have a very good reason for not wanting their photo taken by God-knows-who, to have God-knows-what done with it. Delete the photo, don't be that one arse who gets up on a soapbox and insists on his right to take photos in a public place. You're not HCB and you're not going to win a Pulitzer with it.

Those will use underhanded means to try and destroy ideological opponents while claiming its in the name of equality and tolerance. But we're all for the limiting and curtailing of freedoms to meet collectivist/marxist aims. I'm not asking people to agree with the majority of this thread, but at least know what we are. The M in UKMT secretly means marxist. Sometimes monstermunch.

Intrinsic Field Marshal posted:This is more to a lack of accountability with American Law Enforcement So you accept the convention that some people shouldn't be able to say whatever the gently caress they want? Because some social dynamics are unequal, and people can (and often demonstrably do) abuse positions of power to be spiteful and hurtful to people in technically-legal, but definitely immoral ways, yes? Words are not dead, empty things. They have power, and (used spitefully) can cause tremendous damage. People should be held accountable for their use of language, particularly if they occupy positions of power and authority.

Intrinsic Field Marshal posted:Violence should not be used on either side the consequences of saying things can include violence. You don't get to be protected from that. That's not a slippery slope, free speech was literally never implemented to be what you appear to want it to be. Nor should it be. The government can't round you up for saying dumb poo poo. That's it. That's all it should be.

I'm gonna venture the controversial opinion that as your wealth and power increase so to does the effect of what you say and think. And so, it becomes by any reasonable definition, possible to harm others by thinking wrongly if you hold sufficient power, and thus, doing so would fall within the bounds of what a moral legal framework should exist to protect the public against.

Which freedoms are you thinking of? the freedom of bnp man's speech? The freedom of the edl to protest against the brown man? The freedom of the rich to earn more than they will ever need while people are starving and homeless? What freedoms are you frightened of losing?

Oberleutnant posted:I had two personal experiences of this, and they're both goony as gently caress so y'all can get a good laugh out of it. I know what you mean. I'd be way more comfortable taking a picture of a random stranger with my DSLR than with my phone, simply because it's more obvious what you're doing. I don't think you should have to ask permission to photograph someone in a public place, but I also think you shouldn't deliberately do it surreptitiously. Trin Tragula posted:The line is at the exact moment when you start behaving like a creep. I've heard this argument a few times, but no-one has ever adequately explained what kind of 'who-knows-what' someone could do with a photograph of you. A picture taken in public rather than one taken privately, obviously.

Well I mean, if you share it with someone we have vast pieces of software designed to apply the collective reasoning of hundreds of thousands of people to locate and identify people and share that information with anyone who might want to know it, it's called social media. You are essentially functioning as a PI.
