Yes, yes, we all know you want an authoritarian fascist regime where you are the king (more likely a queen) and everyone shares your beliefs and views. Too bad that will never happen. Poor Mentalnazi!

We've already denied permits for Nazi rallies so are you saying we currently live in an authoritarian fascist regime?

Yes I am. I'm also saying you would like to see it even more authoritarian and fascist especially if you or Justine were the emperor. You are merely another version of a dictator with low self-esteem who has convinced themself they are doing whats best for everyone by killing any free thought or action.

Yes, it's called democracy.

We are being held back by Nazis who are pretending that free speech should allow them to hold discriminatory rallies and we have the power to tell them we won't accept that.

Held back in what way? There is less racism in both Canada and the United States than at any time in our history. The KKK used to have 11 million members. Now it's down to about 7,000. There are, at best, a few hundred organized Nazis. Their numbers aren't growing.


Context matters here and that context deals with the propagation of discrimination.

Quite aside from the logical issues involved, such as what opinions gets banned due to who hates them (hint, yours are hated by a LOT of people) there is the evidence of what this sort of thing accomplishes.

Nothing, basically. The French have such laws, as do the British and Germans. Has it made racism go away? Nope. Has it led to peace and harmony? Nope. There are race riots in the UK and France, and groups of violent Nazis setting fire to refugee hostels in Germany. There is more racial violence and hatred between races and religions there than there is HERE.

Then they should have met without a permit.

The right exists, and it does not exist at the whim of the state.

When the state denies a permit on the grounds of "I don't like your political views" they are denying your rights.

Tell me, how would you feel if permits were denied on Al Quds Da?

Arguably, Islam is worse than Naziism.

Except that we already deny permits on the basis of promoting terrorism - for which you do not have a problem. And let's not forget that what your friend did in Charlottesville has been deemed a terrorist act, so why does he get a pass?

Tell me, how would you feel if permits were denied on Al Quds Da

Unlike you, I'm logically consistent in my views so I obviously wouldn't support a rally promoting Extremist Islamic Terrorism, just as I wouldn't support a rally that promotes Nazism.

You know why?



Because I'm not a Nazi.
