Mandatory jail term for Nazi salute under new hate crime rules in Australia
-
One year's mandatory jail term for any "hate-related offenses" seems a bit far imo. Should be just a fine at least for first offense, unless it's some physical attack and stuff like that.
-
Retroactive laws are a horrible idea

Multiple front page Reddit articles about this as well. Look at the downvote ratio compared to discussions. Israel just pulling the strings as usual & everyone is falling for it, as they plan to take over Gaza & call you all Nazis for opposing it.
-
Agreed.
I'm so sick of this absolutist free speech bullshit that wants to make room for terrorist ideologies to hide.
-
That's a bit too much. That's a country with Gallipoli battles being matter of national myth, right? And they use it the way of praising WWI Ottomans as a worthy enemy. That'd be Young Turks, that'd be the genocide of Armenians, Assyrians and Greeks in those very years.
Jail for a salute seems a bit unbalanced.

To be clear, the article calls the salute a hate crime. I'm restating it in my comment since it's relevant to my question.

They're projecting like always.

In their defense, that's the only thing lasers know how to do.

Even Jewish people defend Nazis right to free speech
How did that work out for them?
-
Yeah. How about from 1948?

*Unless applied in benefit

a paywall for a moral breach sounds like a horrendous idea

A hard line angled up at about 45 degrees.

That's true, then it can be good

Honestly what else is there to do? These people aren’t exactly going to change their minds, and letting them display hate in the name of free speech is only going to help them mobilize and elect more trumps in the world.
