Did you know that in Australia you can be jailed for your free speech online?

[Juxtapose]

"The Full Court of Australia’s Federal Court has confirmed a three-month jail term for the Holocaust denier Frederick Toben for publishing offensive material on the internet."

I fucking hate Nazis but this is fucking stupid. You don't fight stupid ideas by jailing people who propose them. The open marketplace of ideas is way better.

[NYCQuestions1976]

Obviously it's completely fucking stupid, but thankfully I don't live there. However that's why it's important that we vote against the dangerous and delusional far-left liberals, socialists, progressives, and the woke in every single election and every single political race in this country, to ensure that it never happens here.

[NYCQuestions1976]

Thanks for Most Helpful. 👍

[Juxtapose]

Certainly.

[DrPepper12]

Why are you living in NYC?

[NYCQuestions1976]

@DrPepper12 I work in New York City. I live in the suburbs.

[Sasahara]

Does not surprise me. In Australia you can also get arrested for importing a game the Australia rating board denied a classification (or if the game gets pulled off sale after release like Gal gun double peace)

[razelove]

It's the logical next step, you don't have guns to back up your freedom of speech anymore, so that's going to go. Starting with the most problematic, down to common sense, just like UK. I wonder if Ireland still has stockpiles from the IRA though...

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yay, great for you Australia

[BCA6010]

Yes, also Australia is known to be a testbed for tech companies' apps for surveillance and social engineering. In other words, if something is "successful" in Australia, expect it to suddenly become common all across the developed world.

[BetaBucks]

Yep. Knew about that one for a while now. Aussies have to use VPNs to pretend to be Americans, just to have basic human rights, and not be locked in a cage for using a sequence of letters that aren't pre-approved by the ruling class of Australia. Reminds me of medieval times.

[Texaskid1]

Are VPNs common in Australia?

[BetaBucks]

They were a few years ago when I used to frequent free speech forums. I'm not sure they are now, and I'm not sure if there still are free speech forums anymore. At least any mainstream ones. Maybe 4chan still counts, but they IP track and add country to user posts so govs can arrest users for speech crimes. I'd guess a lot of people still use VPNs to post there.

[DJB72]

The UK too. Free speech isn't a protected "right" in most dictatorships.

Notice who talks about muzzling the people's voices before you vote, America. The Left has a history of trying to silence it's critics: Stalin, Lenin, Mao, Hitler and now Harris.

Yes, I said Hitler. Look at the Nazi policies and they have more in common with what we think of as being Leftist ideology than Right Wing.

[PreferNot2Say]

You are 100% correct

[DrPepper12]

Hitler a lefty? Oooooooooooooooooookkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[bluesparrow]

Remember when they told us that the new world order was fake and just conspiracy?

[DrPepper12]

The New World order is fake and just a conspiracy. Your welcome.

[bluesparrow]

@DrPepper12

@DrPepper12

You are an idiot. You're welcome.

[DrPepper12]

👋🏻👍🏻🤟🏻🥰☮️

[worldscolide]

What do you expect from a leftist run society.. Bad ideas like that shouldn't be silenced, it should be exposed for the bullshit it is. Putting them in jail only makes it worse.

[Texaskid1]

Bunch of crazy , Kangaroo ridding , crocodile meat eating commie weirdos.

[DrPepper12]

Aussies are commies? I'll let the Murdoch's know... 🙄

[RubyFrench]

You know what they had in Texas before candles? Electricity

You sound like a guy that needs a holiday in California? Texas seems to be full of political racists, Bad gun laws, Bad weather, High taxes, A bad healthcare system.. and bad breath.

Your brisket is getting dry and flavourless, just like your insults.

[Juxtapose]

@RubyFrench California is a failed state.

[RubyFrench]

If California were a nation, it would have the 5th largest economy in the world, in which case it wouldn't be a “failed state.”

[Juxtapose]

@RubyFrench you asked for it so here it is.

"Not to mention criminals can just go into a store and steal a whole bunch of shit and they won't be prosecuted. As long as they stay under $1,000."

[RubyFrench]

Again.. ill repeat...

IF CALIFORNIA WERE A NATION, it would have the 5th largest economy in the world, in which case it wouldn't be a a “failed state.”

[Juxtapose]

Dude they could be the richest economy in the world but they are the poop capital of the world who can't even take care of their homeless. Some use that wealth is when people can't even afford to live there and it's not even clean..

[RubyFrench]

Im not arguing with you about the ins and outs and how cali's going to shit, I'm setting your statement straight about it being called a failed state! as some people would argue with you on this.. If california were a nation, it would be the fifth largest economy in the world 🌍 so a 'failed state' as you said in some senses is very incorrect.

[Juxtapose]

@RubyFrench imagine thinking the only thing matters when considering if a state has failed is the economy.

That's sociopathic.

[Juxtapose]

*the only thing that matters

[RubyFrench]

what a numb nuts^ . I haven't even got the energy to argue with you lol

[RubyFrench]

If California were a nation, it would have the 5th largest economy in the world, in which case it wouldn't be a a “failed state.”

[Juxtapose]

It's also the human poop capital of the world and the citizens live in squalor next to the homeless with sky high inflation.

[Juxtapose]

Not to mention criminals can just go into a store and steal a whole bunch of shit and they won't be prosecuted. As long as they stay under $1,000.

[RubyFrench]

I replied to you on the actual reply up above as this was posted in the wrong place. continue from there ^

[onedarkcloud]

You are looking at the future of America. at the hand of THE DEMOCRATIC COMMUNIST PARTY OF AMERICA.

[DrPepper12]

Will you be here to see it's success and triumph? 😁

[onedarkcloud]

@DrPepper12 No matter what I will be here just to bother some people.

[thearchjoker]

Sadly it applies to the UK TOO

[bluesparrow]

It’s happening all over the world.

[thearchjoker]

@bluesparrow its very unfortunate

[bluesparrow]

This is why the communists hate Musk.

[thearchjoker]

@bluesparrow especially the one in Brazil

[bluesparrow]

Banning X goes both ways. Now the top dogs can’t use it either.

[exitseven]

Yes I think Engkand is doing that too

[jahaims]

A lot of countries don't have free speech

[Dongie]

Yeah.

[noohair]

USA!
