I think hate speech should have repercussions, but there are lots of thoughts that are hard to explain. A big problem is the upsurge in these types of comics. I think they are not only unhelpful, but detrimental to the cause at hand when pro-Palestine protesters are being labeled “Nazis” and then detained. The problem right now clearly is the state, not the people living under the state, and someone saying a few offensive things, while evil, isn’t as bad as the government being turned into a police state before our eyes, who will gladly shut us up for protesting against them. Stop worrying about the Nazis in universities and start worrying about Nazis about to run the U.S. military.
No… I think they’re saying that the comic guy who thinks women shouldn’t vote is not as bad as the people in Trump’s cabinet, or something. Which is like… I can care about both pretty easily. Effortlessly, even.
The worst kind of person isn’t someone who will defend free speech, it’s someone who does so at first, and then stops defending it when they’re in power.

Did you comment on the wrong post?
There’s a very strong trend on Lemmy I’ve found that really supports the whole women not having rights concept. They just come out of Woodworks.

I really hope so, for their sake.
