The conservatives are not 100% wrong. If anarchism is hate speech well I'm proud to be a nazi.

To contribute all hate ideology to Nazism is totally wrong( even if Nazi ideology is horrific), remember the IRA or The Red Army Group (RAF), also known as the Baader-Meinhof , neither were Nazi, both full off hate.

I'm just reacting to what people call me.
 
We should abolish all ideologies, state-enforced ban on political leans....



...no but in all seriousness I'm not an anarchist but individual anarchists who are no threat to anyone get a lot of undeserved hate and fearmongering from the president, among other bad-faith political operators.

Still Canada and America are allies and you being patriotic to America is useful to the unholy alliance.

Aww crap! Oops. ☹

Still, authentic sentiments.

Hey, wait. I thought there was some sort of restrictions on resurrecting 'necro' threads like this.

I think there is but I'm not going to report it.
Kobie was a good one, sharp sense of humour. We were rookies together- I think he was the first one on my friends list.
 
Isn't the phrase "anarchist headquarters" a contradiction in terms?

That's really nice. And a shame he's not visiting anymore.

I cannot realistically label it a symbol of hate but it is definitely a symbol of ignorance because human being are societal animals. If we were lower on the chain we would be called "pack animals" because we live in packs, which we call "society" and anarchy is not compatible with society structures even on the absolute most basic level.
Simply put, human beings are not capable of living as anarchists.
Anarchy, certainly in its most pure form and even in its less refined forms, is a direct attack on our most basic evolutionary developments as a species.

People may be lazy, but they're not all stupid. People will realize that they need to contribute or they will all die. If people couldn't cooperate for survival it would be impossible for us to get anywhere.

What has this to do with the US Constitution?

Canada is not the US. Canada doesn't have any protections for speech. Free speech is an alien concept to Canadians, which is why they have "hate speech" laws in the first place. If Canada had free speech, they wouldn't have "hate speech" laws.

I take it you've never read the Canadian constitution, It does promise free speech but there are all these little disclaimers underneath, so you're right Canada is not a free country, but America also has stupid hate speech laws.

You obviously never read the US Constitution. The US does not have hate speech laws. What the US has is the First Amendment. Canadians can be fined and arrested for what they say, and regularly are: Canadian Man Arrested for Hate Speech

Even just holding a "free speech" sign in Canada will get you arrested: First Free Speech Arrest in Ontario

The point is that this forum is specifically for the US Constitution, not some socialist terrorist-sponsoring fascist nation that acknowledges no rights for its own citizens.

Anarchy symbol is no different than the Swastika! This liberal anarchist movement is about the total destruction of modern civilization which will result in mass die-offs of millions of people. Yeah, I could consider it hate speech!

Lolwut? Liberal and anarchist are miutually exclusive.
 
Hate groups could be using the anarchist symbol just like most hate groips like to incorporate innocuous symbols but anarchism isnt hate.

Eh anarchism is just about distributing power horizontally without unjust hierarchies. I do like the demand for those in a hierarchiy to have the burden of proving they deserve it.

You are correct on almost everything that you said, but it seems you have to much faith in your country.
