    Also, the dude is a troll, if the name didn’t give it away.

    Right. So he can advocate for overthrowing the government and then we you call him out on it, he can say, “Hahaha! You’re an idiot for believing me!” And then he’ll happily watch as others overthrow the government should it come to that.

      Mate, if you think a guy who calls himself stupider is being serious, I have a bridge to sell you, it was designed by Ben Dover and Mike Ock.

        From the Rhetoric of Fascism:

        Fascism first secures advantage through playful spectacles of a rhetoric both critical toward and within democracy.

        Stew Peters is hilarious. And it is ridiculous to believe someone that calls himself that.

        But the Just Jokes thing is a trope.

        There is overlap between this trope and emotional abuse.

        It’s the same thing.

        You can try to sell me whatever you want, honestly. But that’s fundamentally different from exercising your supposed free speech any platform to advocate the violent overthrow of the government.
