This I agree with. Neo-Nazis aren't exercising free speech, when they're pushing an agenda that specifically targets the reduction of rights of groups in society. You can't claim to 'defend free speech' and identify as a National Socialist, or Communist for that matter, because those very ideologies require the silence of dissent. Lying isn't free speech, its propaganda. We've all had enough experience of the far left and the far right, to know that extremist politics isn't about debate or reasoned argument, its about establishing power over those concepts, to maintain authority.
I've looked into the alt-right once people whose views I have some time for where unfairly described as 'alt-right' or nazis and what you find there is what you'd expect...a diversity. Some actual new nazis....they are out there Within all this you get bits and pieces of everything....the extreme parts of the religious right for example. Where it gets silly is when people like right wing or libertarian commentators get called 'alt-right' by the media and their opponents.....You had Jordan Petersen being called 'alt-right' in an article the other week when he delivers courses on the Nazis. I think some of this is confusion about the term and some not so much. Richard Spencer created the term 'alt-right' to popularise race separatism. People like Milo and co come under 'alt-lite'. Essentially these new terms are just new candy for 'right' and 'far right'. Oh and for those who need me to repeat the obvious....the far right are very bad.....authoritarian systems that close down others are not good. Arguments within society around the edges of free speech are one thing but Stalin (authoritarian communism) and Hitler didn't bother arguing. Edited by Stirlingsays (28 Sep 2017 12.17am)

Edited by Stirlingsays (28 Sep 2017 12.17am) The softness and subtlety you use to describe white supremacists and those on the fringes of the right is in stark contrast to the broad strokes and outright mocking of nfl players peacefully taking a knee because of what they view to be an attack on their racial identity. Change the record. You're emotionally dead and trigger happy with minorities but empathise and use kid gloves and understanding with even the extremes of the right. You're getting sucked further into aspects of an identity while painting it as something you're 'observing'.

Some people are more emotional. They think their statements are more worthy than others. Pretty much the only things I get that annoyed about are....in order of 'botheredness'....the protection of secularism....issues around free speech..Ethnocentrism....this version of the EU. You compare my mocking of NFL players....who I do mock..As they are a very public display....as somehow out of alignment with my comment on white supremacists? How much airtime are white supremacists getting actually...if they were as on tv I'd be more vocal about it. I don't believe in race separatism....You want me to start mocking it? I've heavily criticised that part of black lives matter when they were out there on tv every night and invited into the white house....and I'm happy to criticise white separatists as well.....full of people I'm not aligned with. You are....as far as I can see, putting out suspicion about me. I can't help how you choose to view me. All I can say is what I do believe in and what I don't. I'm very critical of progressive thinking on minorities yes....So are plenty of black conservative commentators as well, don't patronize me with this 'race motivation' stuff. I say what I think. There has only ever been one time when I censored by thoughts on this forum and that was over a joke. Maybe this is more about how you perceive those who disagree with. I think your attitude to me is kind of similar to how the left treated with suspicion anyone who mentioned problems around the UK's approach to minorities. That accusing approach led to cover for criminals. Yet, we are still saturated with this thinking. Edited by Stirlingsays (28 Sep 2017 1.39am)

Actually you appear to pour an awful lot of emotion into your behaviour and its evidenced by your skewed take on things and fear response that is etched through like a stick of rock. From in your own words repeatedly trying to talk your gf round to getting rid of the BBC, to quitting google and even when you state some kind of odd trans fantasy, well what do you know it's an attraction to someone who is adored by and expresses alt right views. You've pulled the shutters down on mainstream life. You have become untethered from decent treatment of others based on arbitrary factors. Politics over people. Do as you wish. I will leave you to it and engage with those capable of a basic level of fairness who are not afraid of colour in their lives. Edited by wordup (28 Sep 2017 1.14am)

I will leave you to it and engage with those capable of a basic level of fairness who are not afraid of colour in their lives. I think you make the mistake of thinking you know me from just comments on the general section of a football forum. You get an idea but that's it. You over-reach and that's unfortunate but it's your view. When I read your biased interpretations on the motivations of others I get a sense of projection from you. You get emotional and sneering. Then you accuse others of the same behaviour. It's interesting that you track my views so closely. I think you make over-reach summaries. I'm putting the 'shutters down on mainstream life' What? I'm a teacher. I work with people of many different views, the majority of them left from me. The over-reach of saying I have a trans fantasy or that I've 'repeatedly' badgered my girlfriend over the BBC or something......I've talked several times about it but the BBC is just one motivations for changing how I adapt the family media hub....there are several attractions to 'cutting the cord and license'. My girlfriend isn't that political and any change we'd make she'd have to be cool with. I quit Google search over Damore yes...I use Duckduckgo now. Still, it's very hard to stop using all of their excellent products. I hope they adjust their politics on what is sexism sooner rather than later to go along with their suppression of conservative views. Again, your over-reach of saying I treat people unfairly....blimey, ironic or what. I will remind you Wordy....You don't know me. Personally treating people fairly is central to my self image. You can think what you want. I have different views to you in some areas. I haven't made projections into your personal life....which isn't very ethical of you. As for the last sentence, a cheap shot comment on racism suspicion. Are you becoming another Nick? Edited by Stirlingsays (28 Sep 2017 1.55am)

Is Inciting racial hatred a part of free speech? Theres a difference between that and offence. It's an interesting area. A basic point would be to say that if someone encourages violence then that is definitely hate speech. We do though, need a framework that applies to all in a fair and reasoned way. Since muslim extremism appears to be the central focus right now, we should apply whatever restrictions exist there, as in what is considered a danger to other citizens, and broaden it out at that level to others e.g [Link] So we're not lowering or raising the level we are just applying it to all areas of concern. If we take that approach and if treatment is equal, it will nip in the bud the kind of weird 'romanticised' take you see towards niche perspectives with hop off points to more extreme ones, something that is very apparent in the populist atmosphere right now. The same applies to others, such as extreme anti white, anti gay, anti jew, anti muslim attitudes whatever pops up on the intelligence agencies radar really in such a manner that it needs to be monitored.

Being of a far right/whitey supremacy bent is different to someone whom by their character can be easily manipulated by propaganda and the instilling of paranoia by that group and ends up apparently defending them and empathising without possibly even realising they are.

Like those that apparently defend and empathise with terrorism that has absolutely nothing to do with Islam you mean? I agree that some of them are easily manipulated by propaganda, but some of them are just fellow travellers and know exactly the type of ideas they are making apologies/justifications for.
We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell] |

Weren't you, along with Nick defending antifa?....that group now officially labelled as a domestic terrorism group? Also, your minimalising of the problems we have with radical Islam here? Reads like you just took the kool aid on that one too.....what was that again....under one percent? Taking positions directly against Islamic reformers. Kermy you should ring Nawez up on his Saturday LBC show and tell him about his religion and how he's so manipulated and paranoid. Guess all those death threats he gets are just so much hot air.

So don't hide in language. You were chided for supporting violence where no violence was required. Antifa are an official domestic terrorist group and you and Kermy were deriding me and others for criticizing them. Edited by Stirlingsays (28 Sep 2017 8.19am)
