The Rushing Tide Of Fascism ...

[Canary42]

... is taking over this site. After years of copious quotes from Hitler's favourite English newspaper, we are now getting quotes from the far more odious Breibart website, a website which makes Attila the Hun look Liberal.

And they have the gall to suggest Islam is taking over - I haven't seen many quotes from Muslim sites here.

[naomi24]

Yes.

[Kromovaracun]

OK.

Then considering it's just an internet forum for white supremacists and holocaust deniers I don't think it's unreasonable to perhaps suggest we avoid using it here.

[naomi24]

Avoid, yes. Dictate, no. "I disapprove of what you say ..." and all that.

In some areas up North that isn't a bad suggestion.

Talking of Hitler and fascism, didn't they 'burn the books' just like you would like to do with certain publications, that don't fit in with your agenda.

The principle of protecting freedom of speech isn't violated by saying that maybe sites that promote holocaust denial or extreme fascist propaganda shouldn't be widely publicised. "I don't agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it," doesn't also go on to add "and what's more I'll provide as many opportunities for you to say it as possible, and even publish it to ensure the widest possible access," and so on and so forth.

Conflating that with the Nazi book-burning practices is shameful.

Consider.

"For decades – since the 1960s, in fact – the media and political establishment have held a consensus over what’s acceptable and unacceptable to discuss in polite society. The politics of identity, when it comes from women, LGBT people, blacks and other non-white, non-straight, non-male demographics is seen as acceptable — even when it descends into outright hatred.
Any discussion of white identity, or white interests, is seen as a heretical offence."

[Kromovaracun]

If people who *cough* 'discussed white identity' (what a mealy-mouthed phrase if I ever I heard one) could somehow find a way to do it without all the vile stuff that invariably comes attached to it, the idea might have a better chance of getting off the ground.

Jim, //... I'll provide as many opportunities for you to say it as possible..//

That hasn't been suggested.

By the bye, I trust people here realise where holocaust denial is most prolific.

[jim360]

Holocaust denial, wherever it occurs, should be challenged, rejected, and just utterly shamed for the crap that it is. I am not sure that your "where it's most prolific" argument is, therefore, anything other than yet another transparent attempt to bring this thread back to your favourite bugbear, when -- once again -- that wasn't actually the subject under discussion in the OP.

How about a vote, on what sources are and aren't acceptable? Or should we simply allow some jumped up fascist decide what we can and can't use?



Interesting post considering who on the thread is saying what sites shouldn't be used.

I haven't seen the storm front post but I assume it was removed... by the obviously fascist Ed?

You are on the wrong coast, try the south coast.

Jim, //Holocaust denial, wherever it occurs, should be challenged, rejected, and just utterly shamed for the crap that it is.//

Absolutely right. I couldn’t agree more.

//I am not sure that your "where it's most prolific" argument is//

I’m sure you are. How hypocritical to condemn one whilst ignoring something greater.

//yet another transparent attempt to bring this thread back to your favourite bugbear, when -- once again -- that wasn't actually the subject under discussion in the OP.//

Oh right. Let’s hide behind Naomi's perceived bugbear and dismiss the bit in the OP that mentions Islam. We’ll just concentrate on those naughty people who have the gall to expose it for what it is. The point is Canary is condemning that which he is defending – but he doesn’t know it and neither do you.

[naomi24]

That'll be why Islam was mentioned in the OP then, Spath.
