Mandatory jail term for Nazi salute under new hate crime rules in Australia

[timewarp@lemmy.world]

Because it isn't physically violent. Black Democrats are out there making racial comments about white people as well. I don't think they should be locked up, do you?

Sending people to jail is a great way to make sure they don't spend time embroiled in Nazi ideology on every level. Probably the best way to make sure someone never comes in contact with a single particle of Nazism, is to send them to prison.

He’s gonna get starlink to burn insects like with a magnifying glass. Maybe the Jewish space lasers were Nazi space lasers all along.

[oldchicoale@lemmy.world]

They're projecting like always.

There is no free speech absolutism. Dare to criticize him or make fun of him and you are banned and ostracized. It's a Nazi enablement pure and simple.

[sterile_technique@lemmy.world]

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

[sterile_technique@lemmy.world]

Even Jewish people defend Nazis right to free speech

How did that work out for them?

[ashar@infosec.pub]

Yeah. How about from 1948?

a paywall for a moral breach sounds like a horrendous idea

A hard line angled up at about 45 degrees.

[kusimulkku@lemm.ee]

That's true, then it can be good

[kusimulkku@lemm.ee]

If you consider a fine just a paywall then do you feel like there should be jail sentence for all traffic violations too, for example? A bit ridiculous, imo.

[shplane@lemmy.world]

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.

I’ll take…. “Things You’ll Never See Happen in America” Alex.

[gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works]

You’re playing into the paradox of tolerance. Don’t do that.

[dasus@lemmy.world]

Yeah, but most of the people I imagine pulling a Nazi salute "as a joke like Elon (were so hilarious haha look at those [insertracialslur])" might be deterred from pulling their shitty "joke" if it actually means prison time automatically. It doesn't matter if it's just like a week. Try explaining to an employer why you didn't attend the important meeting you had because you sat in jail for a week for a fascist "joke".

[dasus@lemmy.world]

It's kinda weird to sort of start rolling back to where some type of conservatism is actually a good thing. I don't want to identify as a conservative, but I definitely want to conserve institutions of justice and whatnot and not have them corrupted by right-wing crypto cucks.

[itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

I know you're joking, but we do not want retroactive laws

[occamsrazer@lemmy.world]

The point is to jail people you disagree with by whatever means palatable to the general public. You can't just run around jailing people, you have to have a reason.
