We can clearly see the Trump version of that concept, the one your electorate went to. It's having a state propaganda channel to flatter the leadership, and threaten unwilling media to sue them, to open up the libel laws for being able to. Not for obvious lies - for being "dishonest". Trump calls the uncooperating media the enemy of the people. So these are things going on in US leadership these times. It just looks funny when you point to some other democracies and their "authoritarian shitheads" with that huge elephant in your own yard.
Don't call us stupid kids. Please. We don't get bullied all the time. It's also quite easily avoidable, don't train your dog Sieg Heil poses and share it on youtube. And I agree, people should feel free to be such douchebags, probably, there's a point that can be made about this. But don't exaggerate this example to a large freedom of speech crisis in Europe.
"Your president tweets mean things to multinational news corporations, so don't you dare berate us for jailing an edgy YouTuber!"
Really?
I also love your not so subtle attempt to rationalize this whole thing with your "it's simple, don't train your dog to do sieg hail." It just proves my point.
Read the actual conviction dude. You'll find that it's really not that simple and this sets a very dangerous common law precedent; one where convictions like this in Scotland will be completely arbitrary.
There's literally no comparison here. And I didn't call You a dumb kid. I said you're acting like one who got bullied all the time.
