Fox News could soon be banned from Canadian cable

[Midvony]

Banning something you disagree with is fascism... You are the fascists.

its almost like tolerance is a social contract that if you break you will not be tolerated.

So you're trying to justify censoring the media. You know who else censors the media? Fascists.

[Port Caverton]

I'm Canadian and personally I think that this is bad

k, make your case to parliament and get signatories. We have a system for this sort of thing. If enough people think you're right, democracy will choose your side.

I'd prefer an US backed coup that ousts Trudeau

[Nobilis Ashevilla]

What is hateful about words? They don't kill anyone. When has a line been said, and instantaneously people start dropping dead? It only becomes violent when someone physically goes out of their way to cause harm to another person. Otherwise, you have no right to censor them when they are just being edgelords and will have been mocked most of the time by the majority.

Yet, of course, you will try to refute this and insist that you must turn your country into a totalitarian hellscape just because somebody said some mean words or made a mean joke.

So please continue throwing this label at me with having a "persecution complex" I find it hilarious as you have no legs to stand on when it comes to arguing against the importance of upholding free speech, even for those you and I disagree with.

boo hoo, my fellow Canadians voted for it and will protest if it has unintended overreach. Because we're smart enough to know the difference between hate speech like Nazis telling people to kill the Jews and free speech like someone calling our PM a turd sandwich. Im sorry people in your country cant tell the difference.

I'm sorry that you are continuing to pretend that I never said "Advocating for violence is bad" It's sad.

Anyways, censorship only destroys a democracy, but I get that people nowadays like to live in some fantasy that silencing the opposition is what makes a healthy democracy. It's fascinating to watch the cognitive dissonance play out.

So you're trying to justify censoring the media. You know who else censors the media? Fascists.

And Dwight D. Eisenhower's government.

What?

[Austria-Bohemia-Hungary]

And Dwight D. Eisenhower's government.

What?

Oh I'm sorry, it was Woodrow Wilson's, and FDR's governments.

[Midvony]

What?

Oh I'm sorry, it was Woodrow Wilson's government.

That was over 100 years ago and lasted for 2 years.

[Austria-Bohemia-Hungary]

Oh I'm sorry, it was Woodrow Wilson's government.

That was over 100 years ago and lasted for 2 years. :eyebrow:

And the Smith Act? And the chilling effect spawned by the entire War on Terror?

[Midvony]

And the Smith Act? And the chilling effect spawned by the entire War on Terror?

You added the part about the Smith Act after I made the response. Still over 80 years ago. I don't see how it is relevant at all.

[American Legionaries]

The Smith Act being bad, and the current issue at hand being bad are not mutually exclusive things.

Herr Midvony cannot stand there and deride Fascists for censorship (one of their least crimes in comparison) when his own government proposes burning books the Nazis burned.

Just because someone in the US government suggested something doesn't mean anything. Again what Canada is doing is still fascist whether other people do it or not.

[Vassenor]

lol having regulation standards is how we fight against bigotry, go take your persecution complex somewhere else. We've seen what happens in America when you don't stand up to hate speech.

What is hateful about words? They don't kill anyone. When has a line been said, and instantaneously people start dropping dead? It only becomes violent when someone physically goes out of their way to cause harm to another person.

And Fox News, and why American legislators are going for "Entartete Kunst" because of Fox News.

Bomb threats should be stopped but that doesn't mean we should ban media we dislike

[Austria-Bohemia-Hungary]

And Fox News, and why American legislators are going for "Entartete Kunst" because of Fox News.

This is about Canada, not the US.

This position, if it can be called a position, is insensible, childish and ignorant of why Canada is ejecting the American equivalent of Russia Today.

What Canada is doing is banning media it dislikes, it is still fascism whether you support it or not.

Which is getting ejected because of what they are doing in the lower 48 States.

Just because they're right-wing populist doesn't mean that they should be banned. Otherwise that also means canning the People's Party of Canada

Do you lot just listen to Dimitri Peskov on Russia Today these days?

Banning Daesh's newspaper or whatever prevented ISIS associates from driving trucks into people in Nice, like duh... <.>
