    We shouldn't make laws to turn interpersonal conflicts into legal conflicts, no.

      I'm trying to figure out their angle, but really it's a matter of time if the mask slips

      :reddit-logo: has a 3rd party plugin that lets you see account creation date and notify you in-window if it's a fresh account. You think we could get something like that here?

      It also has detection if they're participating in any nazi communities, but there aren't any here so that's not really a necessary feature.

    It's banned in some countries (Europe). I remember when I had to long commute after work. Everyone would be super tired and sleeping or dozing off. Rules or not, it would be incredibly obnoxious and disrespectful to the working class if someone suddenly started blasting music. However, for the most part, even kids had the decency not to blast music on public transit. Just out in the open...

      There are good photo studies done during apartheid South Africa which show how the Black population had to commute for 4-6 hours per day to go to work and back. Public transport in capitalism is always a tool for control and further formal and informal Ghettorization. As such after the revolution we will see commutes getting shorter, public transport being nicer and therefor options to have more private or social spaces in those modes of transportation, too.

      Btw. I highly recommend anyone interested to look into those topics since currently it is still possible to amplify voices who endured, survived or resisted apartheid's violence in South Africa. Because of such moments I was able to contextualize my own transit and living situation over the course of my life with the lens of capitalist control and thus material as well as social conditions.

      The point being: If you are poor the capitalists and rich classes steal literally life time, not only during work, but during travel to school and back from it, they steal your life time and act as if everything is the same while the capitalists exploit the labour of the lower classes to place their offspring on campus (ie Ivy League), in the city center, with cars and give them money and not seldom pay tutors and cleaning personal so that even if it were a meritocracy we wouldn't deal with the same challenge as it is systematically rigged no matter if in liberal western states or pre democratic race based capitalist dictatorships.

      As such it is integral for any transformation to amplify the voices of the marginalized and actually ensure there are reparations and the way to equality being one that isn't done in the first step when privilege ends, but when the differences is classes are expunged. For South Africa we still have mostly marginalized communities travel over long distances (and with sub par situations in transportation), they are exploited now and they have been exploited before. Any action of them that seems to go against the liberal bourgeois ideology is decried as undemocratic etc. by the western or reactionary press organs (ie The Economist). Which underlines that the way to equality and a classless society is via means that are not existent in the accepted political actions within the UK (as example of the imperial core).

    It should be legal to play a speakerphone on the bus, and it should be legal to knock out anyone that does so.

    who gives a shit

    listen or don't

    if it bothers you that much, put headphones on with your own media. i listen to music on the train/bus and i am never bothered by people using their phone speaker because i cannot hear them.

        How dare you not conform to bourgeois definitions of "order" and the behavior for public spaces. Sensory sanitization of public spaces is a net negative, furthers alienation and oppresses minorities.

            Because any rules or laws surrounding the playing of media in public will (obviously) be disproportionately enforced against minority communities. As with every other rule or law in this godforsaken land.

        Yeah, sexual material crosses a line, but for entirely different reasons.

    How would that be enforced? Do you want literal cops on every bus?

    This is a good shitpost but just in case anyone out there is going to take this seriously in any way whatsoever - there should not be laws against a person being an annoying idiot, who cares, you can deal with it you're a big boy/girl/other.
