United States Corrupt Twattery

[Scouse]

Comma after shore...happy now.

No. Still isn't clear what you mean (which is why I've asked a specific question).

 

[Scouse]

And yet, free speech is exactly why these nutjobs have been allowed to fester and grow over time /shrug

No. Free speech is why you know people think like this.



Edit: Festering is what happens when a wound remains uncovered and not exposed to the light.

 

[BloodOmen]

You can disagree with that as much as you want Scouse, it's factually true. You don't see the same nutjobs in Russia or China, why is that?

Cos the ones in China got run over by tanks

Exactly! and the ones in Russia get hard prison time and/or beaten to death almost - freedoms is what has allowed these cunts to get how they are.


Edit: And Twitter, fuck Twitter.

They better not go after Spitting Image....

They will, guarantee it.

I remember getting laughed at for still buying DVD's and Bluerays.

Not such a silly idea now is it?

/strokes every Season of South Park ever written.

I dont really understand why Boris is having a go at Kahn for boarding up the statues, its the only reasonable thing hes done this year and when you are doing fuck all yourself its best to keep shmuck.

 

[Scouse]

Because they "disappear".

What you really want to say is that they scare you and you want them to stop. But in a free society the way we deal with things is debate and argue - let them speak, or you can't challenge them.

The other way...? Secret police, prohibition, living in fear, prohibition of things arbitrarily decided by a centralised self-appointed 'moral authority'.

You know. @Job's heaven.

Ah. So I get it. You want these people to die.

I believe in free speech and am not just a cunt, honest!

Cough, Liverpool.

I doubt South Park is going anyway, Trey and Matt are probably sat there laughing their asses off at 2020 churning out episodes taking the piss out of everything.

I didn't say die, I just think their bullshittery needs calling it for what it is, rather than allowing them to trot on being cunts.

I'm sure there will be more overaction but either way I've got Blazing Saddles on DVD and others will still be available as well no matter what the digital services decide to do, on that note:

And you do that by letting them say what they think, then calling them out on it.


Also, remember - at one point it was incredible bullshittery to talk about allowing gay people to have open relationships - instead we'd chemically castrate our war heroes when we found out they were gay. Freedom to spout bullshit means that there's an avenue for social change.

The downside is that there's a lot of bullshit about. But if you can't spout what everyone perceives as shit, you have no mechanism for the stuff that despite being good, is still thought of as shit.

 

[BloodOmen]

Because that's worked well so far

 

[Scouse]

Because that's worked well so far

Yes it has. Very much so.

We're living in a period of massive positive social change - even in my short lifetime the opportunities for all sorts of minorities (not just people of different skin colours) have gotten way better. Miles better.

This progress feels like it's been stalling since we've started banning and criminalising certain forms of speech - because people aren't free to be the racist arseholes they are in plain view, and therefore don't have their views challenged.

(Instead, they fester and feel repressed at not being able to express their idiot ideas, and a small percentage of them decide nailbombing might be a good outlet for their rage)

 

[Scouse]

You got one thing right though @BloodOmen - fuck twitter.

Get off it. And social media in general. It's much better for your mental health.

So with all the television media pulling old shows etc... I wonder who could be in the firing line over the past 50-70 years?

More recently I can think of South Park, but they always roll with the punches for current affairs... Family Guy has a good few episodes making light of all stereotypes ("Peter is a black man") more notiably. I know Dragon Ball Z had that one character who was pretty blackfaced, but they re-coloured him to make him less offensive.

Going back over the decades - Tom and Jerry! I remember Tom's owner cutting a humerous black figure.

Cowboy/Old Western movies surely showed a lot of racial insensitivies - Even the more recent Western styled movies such as Django Unchained was filled with a lot of racism (It's okay though because Samuel L Jackson is in it being a racist?).

I suppose this thread has slightly moved past the US being corrupt twats and it seems to be moving to be more worldwide now...

Tommy Robinson has decided not to go to London for the simple reason it would hust be a farcical media shit show and hes resigned to the fact that its the new reality.

I dont know where we go from here.
