You're being purposefully obtuse and you know it. When taking the totality of the circumstances between the two events into account, I still argue that the US sedition acts are wholly irrelevant to the discussion at hand re: modern UK policy and privacy violation creep.
You're hung up on cherry picking out individual parts of my comment instead.
A personal attack. Nice argument. Much value.
Yes it's another example of something similar, but again, with the vastly different times, cultures, technological capabilities, and legal frameworks, I'd argue that relevance is largely nonexistent or the connection between the two attenuated to the point that any similarities are largely useless for comparison and irrelevant when discussing the issue in the current context.
Yes, but this is a thread about UK trying to criminalize dissent in 2020s. What the US did hundred+ years ago is wholly irrelevant to the discussion of UK policy in modern times imo.
Objection, relevance.
What part is propaganda? And what do you consider the other side of this specific issue?
Fuck the police
Best we can do is fire you too and add your workload to the already-overstretched remaining staff.
Fuck that. End standard time and make everything savings time. Much prefer longer, brighter evenings
10/10 would watch that reboot
It doesn't. Re-read my last two comments, but this time actually read them instead of just getting hung up on the time factor. I used the time reference as short hand assuming basic reading comprehension initially, but then fleshed it out over the next two comments where I discuss what that time difference implies and boils down to when you look at the totality of circumstances and societal/legal norms and technology between the two eras.
