Hard News: These things we must now change, in reply to linger,
I see now that you had already made the point, somewhat more succinctly :-)
'On ya. -

I consider it plausible that mentally unstable people can be triggered by hate speech. Tell me I have nothing to fear, that they will realise it was not serious( if that is the case). Just jokes right?
“Life- long incarceration is too good for climate deniers”
It isn’t funny.
I thought we might agree that it is dangerous to spray this sort of invective. Maybe I should HTFU. -

It is possible that your " whiners and moaners" do not wish to enlarge the target to make it more identifiable. Then there is the legal fees question.
But the nutter who is triggered cares nought for these distinctions. -

Almost anything can be weaponised. We all have access.

Violent – Intended to intimidate/ silence/produce conformity by inducing fear.
Some violence is O.K.?
How do the mentally - challenged know which is the O.K. form? -

Perhaps you have never heard of The Lance Wiggs Invective Series.
Perhaps Lance is not left- leaning. But interesting as an example of the type of exhortation to violence that has previously been deemed acceptable if not enthusiastically approved. In the wrong minds this rhetoric , if that is all that it is , is dangerous. That is my only point. -

I suggest that those who might copy cat the suggested actions do not make such distinctions.Are you suggesting that violent repression of some views is O.K.? Or that inciting violence against those you disagree with is fine.? Is that not one of the things that we need to change?

Simon, the edit has timed out. I don’t mind if you flag that comment for deletion by mods.
Just for the record I took the threats at face value, because others might do so too, and feel empowered to carry them out. -
Hard News: These things we must now change, in reply to simon g,
Of course I will if you could explain a bit.
I am unclear why you think the comparison is inappropriate.
I assume we agree that all violent threats to enforce silence are equally unacceptable because of the risk of misinterpretation by the challenged amongst us. The current censorship and self- censorship appears to be based on similar reasoning.
So no form of hate speech is acceptable. -

I rather think that it is " peaceful co- existence" that is being targeted by those who seek to divide and rule.
