Imagine being so old, terribly bored and completely manipulated by the media you consume that you get so worked up about other religions that you go out in public and protest their place of worship.

Imagine.

These people need hobbies. Other hobbies that don't involve being angry all the time I mean.

On the plus side constantly alternating between fear, stress and anger probably chops a good bit of your life expectancy off.

I don't know, if a local church had some sex abuse scandal or its leader was heavily involved in trying to gently caress with people's basic rights I think it would be ok to protest it. People counter-protest and gently caress with a lot of lovely westboro baptist type churches in the US. gently caress em, protest and shame that poo poo.

I like free speech. "Lol" if you don't.

Why islamophobia legislation is necessary is sorta strange to me.

Hope it isn't used to squelch rhetoric criticizing islam for the ways that it is bad.

Also the govt grant of 125 mil for ai research is amusingly small. We'll see where that goes.

I remember when I thought "but what if I can't criticize the parts of Islam that are genuinely worthy of criticism?" when people talked about Islamophobia, and it turns out it wasn't an issue because I'm in Canada and even most Muslims criticize the shittiest, most problematic interpretations of Islam (granted, they are usually criticized as "un-Islamic" entirely). What is an issue is the rampant Islamophobia in North America and Europe at the moment, and it really isn't based in rational concern.

No, look, if I can't call for death to a specific religious group, am I truly free?

How could I possibly critique a religion without literally calling for the slaughter of its adherents? How?

Too bad there's just no line between advocating genocide and criticizing religion. It's a real shame we've tumbled down that slippery slope. Any minute the thought police are going to put me in a gulag for even considering this.

Yes and literaly a week later our 3 main provincial parties introduced a law to ban women from wearing hijabs in public. But thank god we figured out free speech is evil or else we would have to confront the fact we live in an authoritarian fascist country

It's a motion. It's not a bill or law or any kind of official policy. They could also pass a motion saying Tootsie Pops are tasty and that study should be carried out on how many licks it takes to get to the centre of one.

Also, presumably the fact that hate speech laws can and would be used against the most vulnerable elements of society, is all the more reason to ensure they are targeted at very specific things at the legislative level instead of being open to interpretation. That's why we could actually use laws that specifically mention Islamophobia, or whatever else -- because then there's no way some Trost-type regressive shitfuck could use those laws to say that we're oppressing Christians by taking away their right to say gays are evil.

I'd also point out that Muslims are not the only victims of Islamophobia -- people of other religions, or indeed no religion at all, have died due to attacks rooted in Islamophobia -- so it's not even a matter of protecting adherents of one religion above all others.

I forgot, smoke sumthin bitch is the one that says hate speech legislation is directly equal to banning religious garments, because that's a totally coherent comparison to make. Like, literally one leads directly to the other, because reasons*.

Goddamn gubmint, first they tell me I can't have my dick out in public no more, next thing you know they'll ban walking down the street. It's a fascist autocracy I tells ya!

Its textbook Sorosian divide and conqer strategy. First you bring in a lot of migrants a large % of the native population deems incompatible and then when the racial tensions rise you pass censorship laws targeting both sides. The state manages to devaluate wages, augment police powers and mass surveillance, destroy our freedoms AND make us hate each other all in 1. And the regressive left falls right into it. I wouldnt oppose immigration if it wasnt weaponized to impoverish us and descend our society into an orwellian dystopia
