Ideally it should be the legislature that propose these laws, and the people should vote on it via refereendum (60% supermajority is a good idea to prevent tyranny of the majority).

As for actual enforcement, an attorney of the state (“state” as in polity) would present a list of websites, news articles, video, video games, news channels, etc… to the judge of an independent judiciary, and demonstrare why they qualify as “hate spech” to be taken down, and the judge reviews it and either grants the “takedown warant” or refuses it. Then it can get appealed to higher courts if the losing side disagrees.

I’m not a lawyer, so the specfic wording of the law would need more legalase, but that’s the general concept of it.

A government that’s democratically elected by the people should have the ability to restrict hate speech and threats of violence, but there shouldn’t be criminal penalties, because then that could get abused. Such laws should require 2/3 supermajority in legislature to pass, (or 60% if its via referrendum).

Example: The government should be able to take down a website saying “[Race] is superior than [Another Race]”.

The reason why no criminal penalties is because many countries in the EU are now abusing hate speech laws to jail anti-genocide protests. If something is a good cause, naturally the message will still spread despite censorship. Conversely, white supremacist groups would have a harder time spreading their hatred from their basements if their websites keep getting taken down and they have to go outside to do it. (Yes they could use VPNs, but its harm reduction. Less people will go on those sites, less people radicalized.)

TLDR: Hate speech websites, newpapers, tv channels, should be taken down. But no criminal punishment should be imposed. That’s would be my compromise to avoid anti-hate-speech laws from being abused to jail dissent.

I dropped my book and now debt collectors are after me. 0/5 would not recommend.

I dislike one dimentional political categorization. By their use of the typical left/right meter, both “the left” (tankies) and “the right” (US MAGA) wants to stop supporting ukraine, so therefore its “bipartisan”. Lol nope. Fuck the 1-dimentional axis. Add more dimentions and maybe I’ll consider it.

So, I’m gonna tell you a story.

The country I was born in is a dictatorship. Life was shit. I left when I was a kid to a country with more freedoms. I grew up to learn what freedom meant. Then when I was 18, I decided to return to the place of my birth and lead a rebellion against the dictator that tyrannized my country and the tyrant was defeated and everyone lived happily ever after.

Just kidding (the italicized part is false), I just lived a boring life in the new country as a background character, and my parents are abusive, I had zero friends, and my new country is also becoming a dictatorship, and everything is falling apart, and I have zero qualities of what a movie hero has, I never felt brave enough to attend a protest because I fear torture as a non-native-born citizen, and I have no power to stop anything and I’m gonna die in a gulag, the end.

I mean… see… the second story is so boring, that why we wanna imagine a world where the first scenario happens. Otherwise the world is just too dark without any beacon of hope.

Picture a wave. In the ocean. You can see it, measure it, its height, the way the sunlight refracts when it passes through. And it’s there. And you can see it, you know what it is. It’s a wave.

And then it crashes in the shore and it’s gone. But the water is still there. The wave was just a different way for the water to be, for a little while. You know it’s one conception of death for Buddhists: the wave returns to the ocean, where it came from and where it’s supposed to be.

Real Sugar Coke in a glass bottle by Coca-Cola.

Other than that, some fastfood places have their fountain coca-cola formulas mixed just perfectly so that its on-par with the aforementioned, sometimes even slightly better, but those fountain versions is not consistent and sometimes it could be worse depending om the day and probably depending on how fresh the syrup is. (Because sometimes I feel like its pumping out the last few drops of the cola syrup)

Oh wow you are now so close to where I was born, it’s just across the strait. 😁

Oh, I thought it was more of a “we don’t have a hospital nearby” situation. The idea of “natural” solutions is kinda weird… I mean… most of the food today is artificially bred…

Welp, conservatives being conservatives… 🤷‍♂️

Urban or Rural?

In my ancestral village, I think home births were commons, but my parents were in the city at the time when they had me so it was hospital birth for me.

Depends.

My dad went in the hospital for like probably 3 months, and afiak, their small bussiness is still running. They have insurance.

For everyone else who don’t have insurance and don’t have any assets, just refuse to pay the bills, like what are they gonna do? Confiscate your organs? (Inb4 they pass the “USA Repossess Organs Act”)

Lol I thought it was some SCP stuff before I read comments.

But what if everyone started dancing all the sudden? 🤔

Holy shit, someone that traveled further than me? 😅

Spawn Point =/= Respawn Point

Do they even need this tool? I mean, last I checked, there is no protection against self incrimination in China, so they could just jail you for refusing to unlock. People in China just complies whenever police ask to unlock their phone.

Customs of the country can inspect any international packages.
