Outlawing being pro-genocide and outlawing being anti-genocide
I am beginning to notice a theme in the politics of the countries my government aligns itself with
Let the Slippery Slope begin.
Let's ban Nazis! "Sure sounds good"
and Hezbollah! "ok"
And Hamas! "sure"
and anyone who criticizes Israel! "well we already do that, so I guess it's good to make that official policy."
and anyone who criticizes allies of Israel! "Wait what?"
You Fascist anti-semite!
I mean, the joke is going to be in the enforcement, as a battalion of Australia's largest and roundest uniformed fascist shitheads march through the streets breaking windows and swinging at the heads of anyone sporting a Palestinian flag.
You're going to have folks with swastika face tattoos explaining why these anti-Zionist activists just need to obey the law.
Are they also banning the Viet Cong flag? Cause that's basically what Hamas and Hezbollah are for their respective countries. Also, equating resistance movements with the Nazis is utterly disgusting.
I'm surprised, sad, shocked and disappointed that such laws even have to exist.
There are actually people out there who want Nazism to exist and flourish. Why are many so short-sighted not to learn at least from recent history?
- World War II and the Cold War
- Chernobyl and Fukushima
- Deepwater Horizon and Exxon Valdez
- Sidoarjo and Lusi volcanoes
- North Pacific Garbage Patch
- Climate change in general
... and so on. So many lessons to ignore and mistakes to repeat, because many can't be bothered to look for new solutions to old problems.
