Reply to comment by The_Last_Green_leaf in UK waters down internet rules plan after free speech outcry by Sorin61

Bahahah talk about stupidity. They're talking about bigotry, not criticism of ideologies. That you don't seem to know the difference is worrying...

It's perfectly fine to criticize and dislike ideologies you disagree with. What's bad is hating people for who they are. It's fine to dislike how people behave.

This seems to lost on most conservatives...

that wasn't criticism... that was the definition of bigotry.

>It's perfectly fine to criticize and dislike ideologies you disagree with.

it is, but that's not what they did.

like saying fuck Tories because they're Tories?

>It's fine to dislike how people behave.

you are, but again that's not what they did.

Torie is a group of ideas not an identity... Or shouldn't be. You can tell because you can switch away from it by simply changing you're mind. This is exactly what I mean by conservatives not getting it. You're treating your ideas as your identity so see criticism as bigotry.

Sorry bucko, that's not how it works. Attacks on political ideas are fine. It's called discourse.

Fuck the luddites. Fuck the willfully ignorant. Fuck conservatives. Fuck the bigots.

All good.

Fuck the leftists is ok too. Btw.

Having said that, it's not high quality discourse either.
