I was going to ask what this had to do with the Tories. I was wrong on two fronts. The UK Tories, despite it not being traditional for them to support individual freedoms, especially with this US-style rhetoric, did pass this law. Two, this is a US centric community, and the US right-wing do purport themselves to be free-speech defenders, (it is only recently that the UK tories have started apeing them).
Would the mod consider changing the sidebar to say: ‘An American/US community for conservatives’?
Thanks.
I’ve put America in parenthesis under rule 2. Maybe I should make it more prominent, but I feel like that might frighten away any potential conservatives from anywhere but America. I would like this sub to grow, and perspectives from other countries would be nice.
The problem, if it is one, is that I’m American, and I see things from a certain perspective. I hold human rights to be of the utmost importance, especially freedom of speech. And this is a clear violation of that inalienable right.
Yeah I saw that and my idea was to have the first line be edited to make it more prominent. It’s your community, just a suggestion from me.
I still don’t get how anyone didn’t see this coming
Conservatives curbing civil rights is pretty normal. Most non-conservatives who pay attetion to politics saw this coming.
If people actually studied history they would see that what is going on today is no different than soviet russia or nazi germany. You do what the government says or you are screwed. The right of free speech is ending. And those who support this bullshit today don’t realize that the very same people doing THIS now will eventually come after them. Liberal Jews are just NOW realizing THIS regarding how the democrat party is proving that they hate them
The UK government is ruled by the conservative party. Pot, meet kettle.
