Depends what is meant by 'hate' speech. If it's the legal definition then the mods would already sanction or ban people for expressing those views so what other speech do people want to censor?

The Cambridge dictionary definition is:

. public speech that expresses hate or encourages violence toward a person or group based on something such as race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation (= the fact of being gay, etc.)

We have a few regular posters who sail close to the wind fairly frequently imo.

I don't advocate bans unless someone clearly crosses the line. Let them embarrass themselves and have their views challenged.

Or alternatively, move them to the bear pit where they can whine that they have been 'so misunderstood and misinterpreted' , whilst waffling completely uncensored and unedited by those 'nasty nazi mods' Ah bless :lolol:

That's pretty much the legal definition but I can't remember seeing anything posted on here that expresses hatred for or encourages violence against a person or those groups. I'm sure if it happened the poster would be sanctioned/banned. Have you any examples of posts 'sailing close to the wind'?

I haven't kept a log, I'm afraid.

Well, NSC's top brexiteer Das Reich posts a stream of anti-immigrant propaganda and has been known to post links to far right, highly antisemitic youtube channels, but strangely, some people just don't seem to care.

Yes, spot on. To note, restrictions on free speech are becoming quite popular now, and many social media platforms are implementing new regulations on hate speech, or at least floating them. To also note, historically the far right have pitted themselves against liberalism and the ideas it promotes, such as free speech; the far right's latest iteration, by contrast, have used liberal notions such as free speech to attack other groups, ditto with egalitarianism (feminism, LGBTi+, etc).

The far right have become quite clever in how they use language. They tend to avoid hate speech unless they're on specific platforms and, instead, engage in a dog whistle-style approach. The most obvious current example involves insisting that 'All Lives Matter' or 'White Lives Matter'. Ditto claiming that blacks are 'racist' to whites, and that men have been subjected to 'sexism'.

Jesus h christ. I think that's the FOURTH time you've made that joke (with a lol smiley after it). Possibly even worse a crime than being a committed racist.

Christ. Being called a 'whopper' by, well, just take a look at my signature...says it all. Tell you what, at least Das Reich has the balls to post links to the anti-semitic channels he visits on youtube. You on the other hand come out with your diarrhoea of consciousness posts touting your conspiracy theory laced opinions and don't even let us know where the hell you're getting it all from.
Still, at least you're amusing yourself.

The septic tank? ???

Very harsh, Harry.

The mods identified the need of a section where elderly white men showing clear signs of early stage frontotemporal dementia could ventilate their neurotical obsessions about race issues in a safe environment.

It is no more of a septic tank than the average psych ward or hospice. Be nice.
