It’s awesome!

Now that the concept has caught on so widely, I’ve often wished @[email protected] had gone with a less scatological term. But maybe that is part of the reason it caught on 🤷🏻‍♀️

That’s rich when the Google Play store is full of malware while F-Droid is full of gems.

I believe it is a mistake selecting that particular instance for those communities.

The risk isn’t just that they shut it down, there’s a much worse thing that could happen: pinpoint elision (or even editing) of reporting on the genocide.

These bookburnings are a Nazi project. The guy who started them is a Nazi leader who wants Sweden and Denmark to be ethnically cleansed. And sickeningly, the entire Swedish justice system from cops through judges to politicians backed him up (and now that there are repercussions they have cold feet).

People who are like “lol muslims can’t handle a li’l free speech? It’s only paper” have been deceived. They’ve fallen right into the trap as designed by the fachos. The classic tactic: do something that the target group understands as a hate-fueled threat but that onlookers misperceive as not that big of a deal.

Free speech is vital to an open and just society. The exceptions need to be few and clearly defined. (Counterfeits and frauds being a pretty commonly understood one.) I hold that inciting hatred against the outgroup should be such an exception.

Karl Popper put it perfectly:

Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.
