The Free Speech Limitations British Conservatives Face
In the UK if I get reported to the police by a leftist or Muslim or a random nutjob who is offended by anything I post I can end up in prison, even if what I post is morally true or factually true, or both. It doesn’t matter whether it is true. It only matters if someone is offended.
I can also be imprisoned on the word and subjective feelings of anyone with ‘protected characteristics’, whose offence is legally a weapon they can use against me. So I’m particularly vulnerable if any ethnic minority person or Muslim is offended by what I say.
It doesn’t matter either if what I say is rhetorical or metaphorical, or not intended seriously, or obvious hyperbole, or satire, or a joke. Everything will be taken literally and anything can be punished.
This situation informs my responses and who I can afford to keep on my friends list, as well as my own moral attitudes doing so.
It is dangerous for me, or any normal, sane person in the UK, to maintain links with ‘the other side’ or with anyone whose mental stability seems uncertain. We could be attacked, but more likely we could have the current excessive law used against us and go through the stress of police harassment and end up seperated from our families and imprisoned for long periods.
At the same time we know that in the UK people can openly call anyone mildly rightwing or even just patriotic and opposed to mass immigration anything they like, and can openly call for our throats to be slit and they will not go to prison.
This situation informs everything I say about the US and the UK. It is one of the main reasons why I have zero time for those insisting on the free speech rights of armchair terrorists, together with the murders, assassinations and crimes of the Left.
It is also why I quickly block anyone I think is a leftist, anyone I think is mentally unstable, or anyone I think hates the English, Britain, Israel, MAGA, white people or Jews, all of whom I seek to defend because all of whom seem to me to be overwhelmingly decent and good but targeted for an insane level of hatred and malice.
There can be no debate with those who want you or your friends dead. Armchair terrrorists have a psychopathic attitude towards us, and no sane person can reason them out of that, once the condition is advanced. Kirk did an amazing job with those who could be reached. Many more can never be reached now, as reactions to his murder illustrate.
In the UK the courts, government, and police are firmly on the side of armchair terrorists of the Left, and of those with ‘protected characteristics’, no matter how irrational or insane their behaviour. All are equipped and waiting to be ‘offended’ by anything true or sane. The government itself is composed of armchair terrorists who hate their own country, history, culture and majority population and who have no respect for anyone on any part of the Right.
We aren’t human beings, so far as they are concerned.
If anyone thinks I block people on social media too easily, this is why.
