    This is a lie, actually. NATO and the UN weren't at all convinced there were WMDs in Iraq, and certainly didn't support the Bush admin's use of WMDs as justification to militarily invade a sovereign nation.

    But it's cool to know how biased you are, and how little you care for facts or for history. Imma put you on mute, now.

    "Our free society must not allow"
    Stay classy Germany. Wake me up when the next Hitler is up.
    All right, gentleperchildren, let's review. The year is 2024 - that's two-zero-two-four, as in the 21st Century's perfect vision - and I am sorry to say the world has become a pussy-whipped, Brady Bunch version of itself, run by a bunch of still-masked clots ridden infertile senile sissies who want the Last Ukrainian to die so they can get on with the War on China, with some middle-eastern genocide on the side

    I sure hope to. But I know that I will be awaken soon enough. All the signs are there.

    Because diversity is strength
    I still wonder why.

    All I see is that it often creates tribalism, hatred and a society that is as cohesive as sand. When I think of "diversity" I think of a country like Congo, where different groups of people have been at war with eachother for many, many years. Such a sad reality that is. I do not deny that some groups integrate perfectly fine, and that is great, but some other groups simply don't.

    Blabbering about diversity as the definition currently is, is basically just parroting what people learned in the 70s-90s when they were in grammar school.

    Just to clarify, I'd actually love to see a world where people can peacefully coexist, no matter the race or religion, but at the moment that isn't possible, so I think we, currently, should stop trying and try again in about twenty years or so.

    #wishful thinking.

    Actually, not by the definition my country used in its laws and jurisprudence. Only this year Moroccans were recognized as a "race" by a judge. The initial case was that racism could not be proven because Moroccans are not a race. I believe it was the infamous Geert Wilders trial.

    Legal definition does not matter one bit. If we were to go by legal definition then racism doesn't exist in South Korea as there are no laws against it.

    I'd be able to say Fuck no, I want no black people working for me and then not hire anyone that's black as an employer, without breaking any laws in South Korea.

    Can't wait to see the next Hitler freeing us from the next Hitler. We all know the drill. The last Hitler literally freed us from the last Hitler as well.

    I recommend this book. Sure, it is satirical, but still.. frightening in some ways.

    Just like any company survived the end of WW2. Being useful and not being dicks. There was no "purge" in the sense that your American drama addicted entertainment centre in the brain assumes. Sorry.

    Oh good point, yea it makes sense that they would put that into the same books as threats and coercion given their past.

    Most countries that make it illegal to speak bad about people based on race or ethnicity has past issues with violence due to it. We had the race riots here in singapore that lead to our strict laws on it.

    When group B chimps out because group A said something but didn't actually violate the NAP, a sane government (oxymoron, I know) would make group B fuck off, not shut A's mouth.

    I thought this forum seemed a little quiet recently, obviously 1 or 2 here seem to have slipped through the net, get them on the second sweep I guess.

    By law you are forbidden to preach hate against anyone as a public person.
    EG: As a preacher of a religious community, I cannot preach that gays are disgusting to [deity], even if my religion states that.

    Considering the amount of people you address via the Internet, it's not that far of a stretch to apply that "public appearance" ant it's inherent limitations to free speech.
    Am I against people being held accountable? No.
    Am I worried that this will eventually go overboard? Absolutely.

    Saying something never directly affects or harms anyone. If someone needs bully-proof windows, he's free to lock up inside his house. Shutting others in the name of someone's hurt feelings is called fascism regardless of the reason.

    Selectively, that is, by the governments.

    Currently it is more like "Group A can not be spoken out against or criticised, bashing group B is fine, though.".

    I let you work out which group represents which.
