What a ridiculous, pissweak, lying and dishonest thing to say.


Trumphitler - 'satirical
Bush Chimp - 'satirical'
Obama chimp - wacist.


Well know satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo - massacred for 'islamophobia'

Clearly satirical Danish cartoons prompted murders across the globe.

It's getting absurd.
This man got one year's jail for this -
isn't it a bit harsh?

Because they are apparently "hate speech", Shouldn't there be a law about that? ::)

Do these same provisions cover that? "Some'" does not make it immediately clear. ;)

Of course they may have used the "artistic" framework.

Many people have dropped out of social media
due to the new harsh laws on free speech.
The most innocent comment could get you jailed
and destroy your life.

In other 'clearly satire" news:

A tweet by Nerdeen Kiswani, co-founder of the radical pro-Palestinian activist group Within Our Lifetime:

“Finally, NYC is coming to Islam. Dogs definitely have a place in society, just not as indoor pets. Like we’ve said all along, they are unclean.” (Kiswani later said she had intended her tweet as satire.)

To which Jewish Flirida Rep Randy Fine, equally satirically, responded:
“If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one.”


Diversity is our satitical strength.

Australia has become an extremely gay and lame country. No one would have given a sh1t about a swaztika or whatever even 10-15 years ago. You used to be able to buy nazi uniforms and sh1t on Ebay, I remember.

Archie Bunker from the 1970s sitcom would have got life in jail with no parole
under these new laws.

But in the 1970s we had :

Alf Garnett in Till Death Us Do Part.

Archie Bunker in - All in the Family.

Eddie Booth - in Love thy Neighbor - &

The Black and White Minstrel show.


None of them would be shown today on TV.   :)

‘’ Salute.

Children performing the Bellamy salute to the flag of the United States, 1941
The Bellamy salute is a straightened hand and palm-down salute to the flag of the United States. Created by James B. Upham as the gesture that was to accompany the Pledge of Allegiance of the United States of America, whose text had been written by Francis Bellamy, it was known as the flag salute during the period when it was used, from 1892 to 1942, with the Pledge of Allegiance. Bellamy promoted the salute and thus it was retroactively renamed after him’’

Remember that if you raise your arm in the prescribed manner and you get nabbed, you were practicing the Bellamy Salute which can be described as anti Nazi.

The usual suspects have now realised that these 'hate speech' laws may also bite them on the arse, in spite of the obvious intent, which was to silence all criticism of the government and its protected minorities.

Why do the Left need to make a simple thing more complicated than it needs to be, just so THEY can appear more sophisticated than they really are?

I guess this is how a male turns into a Homa-sexual.
