Just because YOU say (b)=hatespeech, I say (b)=/=hatespeech.

I find nothing wrong with your analysis, your Muirness. Looks spot on.
Now as for the Woodman’s assertion, since the term “hatespeech” cannot be rigorously defined (similar to “obscenity”) it comes down to the old “I know it when I hear/see it.” principle (also similar to obscenity). Hatespeech is whatever the people in power (as Mao said, “Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.”) SAY it is. By means of the “hatespeech” ploy the ruling party can quash (or at least attempt to) dissident political speech (which, after all, is what the 1stA was crafted to protect) while paying lip service to the 1stA.

If (fs) is not equal to (b), then couldn’t (fs) also be < (b), where (fs) is defined by her Hillness?
I know, right? How can there not be a name for that? Maybe we need another nine-year-old to come up with something.
We could call it Infinity Zero, but everybody would always think you were talking about Barry. And when pondering the most sum-negative thing on the planet you would have to include Hillary.
How about this? Beast. Applies perfectly to the bitch, but also pretty universally descriptive for anything with unlimited negativity…like ol’ Beelzebub, the Original Beast hisself.

Back when everything was out to get you, and the only government was Mother Nature. The only Law was Survive.
“Indigenous people, aboriginal people, or native people, are groups protected in international or national legislation as having a set of specific rights based on their linguistic and historical ties to a particular territory, their cultural and historical distinctiveness from other populations.”
Think that’ll work for y’all out there? Form your own gov (or let it revert to Mother Nature), tribal lands, huntin’ and fishin’ and shootin’ and and and…it’ll be great, I’ll come and visit.
*Does Pamatar have any of those dead sexy (heh) little animal skin outfits to wear around the cave, you know, kinda like Raquel Welch?
You are surely “culturally and historically distinct from the other population”…if you can scrounge up some provenance you might have you a tribe there. Those cadets will give you land, money, they might even worship you, they love them some mysticism.

No I do not have any RW style BC outfits to wear hiding in a drawer. My Mom’s Grandmother was half, only we never knew her tribal lineage. It was never talked about. Based on the crap the various Gov’t agencies have done over the years to make things better, I say no thank you and the hybrid you rode in on.
Sorry to hear no cave-girl outfits hide-ing in your drawers. 😉
But as I say below I think maybe Cry for Dawn IS Raquel and would tear them wolf skins UP!
Whole idea of sovereignty done right is no gov agencies involved once they hand over your land and reparations. Then you can begin again to make things better for yourself, as God, the Framers, Trump, and threepers everywhere intended.
There is something to be said for the idea of trotting her and about 5 million of her closest followers to the “showers” ala Auschwitz circa 1944. It would settle the Liberal Question once and for all.

Why do you assume Gunner is being ironic? I’m sure he is well aware that what he suggests is not practical. His method WOULD reduce the numbers of leftists – somewhat. To truly be effective his numbers would have to be adjusted by AT LEAST an order of magnitude and the purge would have to include Europe as well. I do agree that we cannot defend ourselves by becoming what we despise.
I think that the problem of leftism will be somewhat solved – at least temporarily – by the coming collapse of our current world-girdling civilization. I expect leftists to die in much greater numbers than conservatives or (true) libertarians. I expect Islam to be especially hard hit if only because NO MUSLIM NATION feeds itself. Being trapped, as they are, in the 7th century means that they CANNOT feed themselves and thus wil starve in the famine resulting from the collapse of the planetary transportation grid. Somehow I cannot find it in myself to be sorry for such an eventuality.

anonymitty, what is “morally reprehensible” about wishing for an end to the suffering caused by the leftists? Are you saying that it is “morally reprehensible” to discuss rebellion? It is certainly “illegal” (no government willingly relinquishes power) to actively PLAN a rebellion, but I remind you of Jefferson’s sage words, “when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is [the people’s] right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new guards for their future security “

Give it another chance. It’s still here. Personally, I think the Old Bat’s expiration date is drawing close.
Read Massie’s piece over there also about DT deserving credit for forcing the parties to the consipiracy to go all in, exposing for all to see what they are.
Power feeds an addiction. Those who crave it are no better than crack addicts. It’s the same thing, using a different kind of ‘chemistry’. This current crop of politicals is as base and animalistic as were Hitler and Stalin and Pol Pot.
It isn’t even the alpha male lion thing, it’s something much more primal. Lions have rules, the pride follows them for survival but they do not turn on each other.
Just remember this: power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. These people seek absolute power and it will destroy them absolutely when they get it, with little to no help from us.
