Wether you find him funny or not, it is evident to anyone but the most autistic that he was making a joke. Yes, a
racist joke, but still a joke. Telling a joke about gassing Jews is not comparable to pulling a knife on an old lady. If you do that as a joke, you
should get arrested, because you're still pulling a knife on another person, and such a joke needlessly endangers yourself and could lead to people calling the cops on you (wasting community ressources) just because you have a poor sense of humor. Someone guffawing about baking Jew pies or what have you... if you have a problem with them saying that, you REPLY, you use your OWN speech, YOUR truth, YOUR humor to challenge theirs. A joke in bad taste is not an assault with a deadly weapon, no one's life or safety's in danger from bad humor.
Do you know what you are talking about or do you knee jerk every time the right wing press tells you to.
Imagine your grandparents died in Auchwitz then tell me how funny "do you want to gas the Jews" is.
Do you want to lynch the niggers Fido?
Do you want to kill all the Catholic pedophiles Rex?
Do you want to mow down all the infidels Rover?
While Hastur is technically right-wing, I'd advise to look up who the Swedish "Moderate Party" is, who as I recall, are who Hastur votes for. I, otoh, vote Social Democrat (and sometimes Socialist People's Party in local elections). The only newspaper I actually subscribe to is a Danish left-wing social democratic one. And I consider what you're defending as inherent submissiveness to a totalitarian way of thinking. Anything that disrupts "stability", is a "threat". How very Chinese of you. You remind me of another Dane that used to frequent the DCF. He defended censoring a mural of the Tianamen square massacre painted in the US, I believe, because it could potentially upset some visiting Chinese dignitaries.
My grandfather's cousin was executed by the Gestapo. Does that mean I should defend laws that make jokes about the Gestapo illegal? What the fuck kind of planet are you living on, Monte? I don't give a shit if you make jokes about that. I'd care if you actually WERE a Nazi, and if Nazis were realistically about to or had taken power. Then I'd STILL not give a shit about jokes. I'd give a shit about you wielding POWER to carry out your beliefs. Not about what you fucking
say.
Have you absolutely NO trust in your fellow Brits, at all? No trust in society being able to police itself? Do you think social taboos are things created by the State? Do you think there'd be no morality, no values, no notion of right and wrong, no idea of what's polite and what's impolite if
the Statedidn't write a law telling you all these things?
Do you accept the notion that non-religious people can be moral? I assume you do. Is that only because some OTHER extra-personal authority has decreed to them what their morality should be, then? No? Then MAYBE, just
maybe, it is possible to create, nuture, and thrive in a society where just as the idiot in the video is free to make jokes about Jews, everyone
else in his country is free to reply to him that he's a total dick. Free to tell him he's no longer welcome in their homes, free to inflict any social, societal and individual condemnation on him
they wish.
Fame is not flattery. Respect is not agreement.
