I don't disagree with anything that dude says but fascism has to be met with a shitload of resistance and it can't be debated with or allowed to have any platform to speak on. I'd say it's about time to have actual proper hate speech laws but not with this loving administration at the helm

Who gets to define what hate speech is and what constitutes it?

Canada has hate speech laws

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Stop trying so hard to be devils advocate

Just police all thought and speech.

You know who else had speech laws?

The Nazis

And therein lies the rub.
How would you write such a law?

Maybe Bolow doesn't want to move to Canada?

Pfft. C'mon dude. Canada

I'm just going to go with "Would saying this get my rear end beat in a room full of people who believed the exact opposite?"

Covers politics, racism, religions, sports, BBQ, video games, and which person was the best captain of the USS Enterprise.

That's known as etiquette and being polite. It's a good rule of thumb to operate under, and it's how we sort of navigate through society.

Though, to be honest, there's only 1 religion that will beat you up for talking poo poo about it, baseball is great, dry rubs are the best BBQ, video games are great, and Captain Janeway.

The point about Canada is that we have those laws and there aren't a bunch of political prisoners for 'wrong-think' and also didn't elect a nazi apologist so yeah

Tell that to poor Professor Jordon Peterson. Isn't he being fined hefty sums of money because he refuses to be told what words to refer to people? Won't he be jailed for refusing to pay?
