the right to free speech is fine but it also comes with responsibility as the court case showed. Once the right start spreading "woke" lies aided and abetted by a supplicant media then it is hard to fight back.I am an Anti Fascist, but I worry that that this current tiny Tommy ten names episode will martyr him and will gain more support from the idiotic racist right wing.
They are attacking us on the left as being the people who hate free speech, that is a very powerful argument allayed with this nonsensical "woke" imaginarium that they constantantly spout.
i believe that tiny tommy ten names has every right to speak, i would never want to curtail his rights, he might speak shit in my opinion, but if he wants to talk shit that is fair enough. i can speak a right load of bolloxs when i want.
what is really worrying is the left have lost their claim to be patriotic through these wokeism attacks
patriotism is a good thing if channelled correctly, patriotism is a love of ones country and its people (orwell wrote that) and wanting the best for your country should be all of our desires, it should not be limited to the likes of tiny tommy and his nationalists.
i will post about nationalism tomorrow, im off to bed.
But the left has been too obsessed with identify politics rather than challenging the fundamental structural inequalities caused by class warfare.
