I totally don't agree with his views or condone the insult, but this is surely another hit to free speech,...
I miss the days people could just disagree without completely tearing eachother's lives down for it...
The sentence is strangely harsh for an insult. But the guy is Alain Soral which is a known antisemitic, negationist, conspiracy theorist, among other things. He is an absolute piece of shit that has been condemned multiple times in France.

We can't disagree on basic human rights. You say an entire group of people are shit because of what they are born into, you can eat my shit and hair.
And yes, I'm "tearing each other's lives down" for it like yours because people are getting raped, jailed, and shot over it. We can disagree on taxes, the place to eat for dinner, what the play that's going to happen in town, we can't agree on "some people are more equal than others because I wasn't born like that."
Plus the guy denies the Holocaust. You're going to bat for "it didnt happen but i wish it did"?
What did he say? I can't find anything like that in the article.
I'm not batting for anyone... Just saying people these days are getting too worked up about things (that (sadly) have always existed and can't be changed) these days. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Also, if you want to tear my life down for things I didn't say cause of my "I agree, but..."-opinion, then we're getting to the actual problem with this mindset of today: Constant attacking anyone that even thinks slightly differently and treating hem as if they are part of the bad things. ๐
I agree there shouldn't be hunger in the world and I agree the 1% have too much money and I can't agree more to the fact famous/any people should treat children like children and not like 'toys', but I just don't think fighting among ourselves on social media is ever going to solve any of that... Meanwhile we're creating a world where innocent people get permanently fired from positions they worked to get for being wrongfully sued or accused,... Also, it's degrading to general care as many people will start ignoring any infornation repeated too often and not even read it anymore when it's actually proven news either...
I want justice too, but that can never be achieved if you drop the "innocent until proven guilty" part that many justify away today in name of self-righteously wanting to save humanity from itself, and definitely not from an internet social trinket... ๐
One thing I did learn from all the years of internet is that you can't change people's minds on the internet, so (listening to myself) I'm not expecting you to change yours, but wanted to add my 2 cents anyway. ๐
Anyway, no hard feeling and have a nice day! ๐
