    I’m not getting drawn in to the debate of wether it was or wasn’t.

    I’m defending people’s rights to have an opinion without being labeled a Nazi by default because it trivialises the awful crimes commited in WWII.

    Denying the holocaust is a crime in some countries, and with good reason. Let me know when we’re not allowed to discuss the actions of Musk.


  • Thank you for understanding that I’m only here to talk about free speech.

    If the rules were no X posts, then they should’ve had the post taken down with a warning. I don’t think a lifetime ban is a reasonable response to an undesirable opinion, I don’t think it meets the requirements of hate speech which is where I’d personally draw the line.

    Ok, that’s fine, but what you are doing is equating everyone that expresses a different opinion on musks salute to a Nazi, and whilst I understand why that is a popular opinion here, I don’t think it’s entirely helpful.

    You could say it’s your opinion that they are gullible, delusional, easily misled or whatever else, let me know when democracy, the rule of law and human rights are being infringed and let’s talk.



  • I don’t care. Read my full comment history if you want, you’ll find I’m quite clearly a left winger.

    I really don’t know what my comment history has to do with my ability to defend freedom of speech.

    I couldn’t care less if people want to take issue with my opinions, I only ask that it’s kept civil and the debate is kept relevant to the subject, I’m not interested in personal attacks.

    asks definition of a wordwhen given the definition moves the goal posts in an incredibly condescending way.

    Why don’t you stop criticising me as a person and say what you want to say in plain English?

    I take it you can’t articulate your problem with my argument and that’s why you have a problem with me instead.





  • We’re back to opinion Vs fact, again!

    At the end of the day, until Musk comes out and says, “it was a Nazi salute and I’m a Nazi”, it will be up to opinion and everyone has a right to share their opinion.

    and I’m sure I know why you do it.

    I really don’t appreciate the insinuation but the least you could do is grow a pair, come out and say it.
