I'm guessing your up in arms that 'The Jurisprudence of Blood' by Abu Abdullah al-Muhajir isn't stocked in your local Waterstones.?
Who is my lot?
It should be up to the lawmakers to set the boundaries of free speech, not political activists.

Pearl clutching, pojecting, conspiracy theorising, right leaning, jew fearing, hypocritical, 'free speech' enthusing, not right in the mind people such as your good self.

I've only ever voted for Labour, how about you? My observations are made on an intellectual level, not because I have a horse the race. It's people like you who can't see any further than the end of their own noses.

It doesn't matter. Your language gives you away every time :biggrin: Maybe spend more time on constructing a decent argument :thumbup:

No they're not, people are saying that a privately owned record shop can stock what it wants

Suggesting that people are "not right in the mind" because they don't share your views is pretty low :thumbup:

Re: so Spillers bans Morrissey
I'm going to have my dinner, and when I come back I hope to see some convincing arguments being made, showing why opinions that you don't agree with have to be silenced, and why it is a good thing.

In that case I'd review your observations a bit more rigorously if I were you as your promulgations don't reach any intellectual level whatsoever.

Mate you don't have to explain that you're going to be away for a bit. It's an anonymous internet message board, you could disappear for a year and no one would care

So are we all still Communists for defending a private business?

There is a wealth of historical knowledge regarding the shutting down free speech and spying on political opponents, etc.. If you believe so strongly in this type of behaviour, you should have no trouble defending it. Go on, give it your best shot.

It means you've got an hour to come up with something more substantial than the bollocks you have been talking so far :thumbup:

I'm defending the right of a private business owner to exercise their free will to not stock a shit record by a shit person with a particularly nasty and shitty political affiliation.

Yes, I know you got the same memo as everybody else, and we all know that weaponising attacks on free speech is a marxist construct that is as old as the hills, so how about telling me why it is such a good thing and why I should be supporting it?

Spot on disingenuous is exactly right.
This is free speech being exercised on both sides.
The right of “free speech” is just that the government can’t arrest you for it, it’s got nothing to do with a private business stocking a record.
It also ignores the paradox of free speech. Should someone who wants to murder all white people be allowed to preach this on the streets. Is it true freedom if it makes the lives of others less free?

But isn’t them doing that exercising their free speech?
Should record shops be forced to sell every record that’s produced?
Your last point is very straw man isn’t it?

"You cannot enjoy the advantages of a free press without putting up with its inconveniences. You cannot pluck the rose without its thorns!" —Karl Marx
That's about all he had to say about free speech, he was more for freedom of the people and raising up those in poverty to a position where their speech mattered.
What definition of Marxism is your intellect labouring under to come up with 'weaponised attacks' in the context of a private business owner choosing to not stock a record?

He understands it as the propaganda he’s read on right wing conspiracy websites without realising he’s being taken in then tries to pass it off as faux intellectualism.

Must we treat all views equally even when they’re far right views?

I'm very happy to stand by comment that I think the poster 'Wales-Blaes' is not right in the mind. I'm not mocking his disability, merely pointing out that he may have one.

He's saying people have a right to express their opinions as long as they are not breaking the law.
Everybody else is saying that people with opinions different to their own need to be silenced.

That's it move onto the insults, as you are clearly not capable of constructing an arguement that backs up your opinion that opposing views need to be silenced if you don't agree with them. There is a word for people like you :biggrin:
