‘You can’t say anything nowadays’ sighs man mistaking criticism for censorship



Some gonk is annoyed that he can’t be casually racist/sexist/homophobic anymore without someone disagreeing.

Simon Williams, 33, shared a fairly horrible photo on Facebook of some desperate asylum seekers, with the caption “piss off, we’re full”

“And now some people are saying that I’m mean,” said a flabberghasted Williams.

“It’s a disgrace is what it is. I have a right to say what I want, which I equate to having a right to be free from any form of disagreement whatsoever. That’s what freedom of speech means and that’s what my granddad died in three world wars for.”

Simon’s sister sighed, “Both of his granddads are still alive. He just never goes to see them.

“I’ve tried explaining to him that if he shares something that’s demonstrably mean-spirited on a public-facing platform, then it’s bound to attract a few dissenting voices.

“He can say whatever he likes, but the things he enjoys saying are all dreadful, so people usually don’t like them. It’s been really difficult trying to get him to understand that.”

I would question whether the asylum seekers were "desperate"

more like chancers looking for money

or terrorists in disguise

[Epic.]

As i'll always say, free speech and outright discrimination are radically different things

This has helped me open my mind and made me think about the issue in a completely different light!

Tbh I can’t tell if it’s anti pc or anti anti pc. Either it’s mocking strawman people anti anti pc often attack or it’s mocking the mentality of a lot of anti pc people

[LeatherTrumpet]

I also hate his beard

There was an article from this website before claiming the princess’ new baby is secretly black and I thought it was real for a moment

[smudgie]

Well, for one he can’t count, secondly he lies about his grandfathers both being dead..says it all really
Plonker.

Is that not a fake news website?

I need to be less subtle is the key thing I've learned from this.

I find that the Onion keeps me informed about stuff the Daily Mail and the Canary wont dare print for fear of losing ad revenue. Only this morning i sat with my latte and crispy creme and read: ‘Sports Illustrated’ Publishes First Swimsuit Issue Of #MeToo Movement

Its good news stories like that one that give you that morning filup the mainstream media fail to deliver

I was expecting that it was a joke that some people got all uppity about because it might be a more twisted joke.

But no instead it's some guy who holds prejudicial views of people and fails to understand that yes he can hold those views and express them, but people can also disagree with his views and express that too.

Edit... I really should've read the rest of the thread before diving in.
