Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

If there's literally anything I like about the US, it's that judges can't ding you for shit like this.
Sure, they'll kill you if you get too bad but at least your symbolic protests are protected.
You do not, under any circumstances, have to hand it to them though.
In the US they'll just kill you
You do something like this in the US and you're at risk of getting killed by the feds, the far right (infiltrated and motivated by feds), or local police and framed for a serious crime.
EEEEEEK! AN ACORN......I'VE BEEN HIT
Lol they can and do. It just depends on where you’re being tried and how good your lawyer is
free speech absolutism also means actual nazis and fascists can say and do whatever they'd like. at least in the UK there's a line you can cross with racial incitement and other heinous shit, here you can wave a nazi flag over the interstate and shout "x group deserves to die" and that's constitutionally protected
While it does prevent some open fascistic rhetoric, it also prevents expressing disapproval of ongoing genocides depending on the UK governments position towards them.
It's a double edged sword for sure, just feels like the sword's exclusively targeting leftists here. You still see hundreds of thousands of British people on the streets calling for an end to genocide, but if any implication you support the organization most actively resisting genocide gets you fined or charged that's pretty fucked
