    Yup. Comrade Ogilvy. My favorite character in the book. He does everything right, he worships the Party, he serves it loyally, he loves Big Brother. And in the end he is treated as an enemy of the state. It'll happen to today's SJWs too, if the worst comes to pass and they win.

    The funny thing is that in the UK hate crimes are not defined on the structuralist idea that you need prejudice plus power to have an effect. The majority of people reporting a hate crimes in the UK are straight white people. Any strengthening of these laws is only going to hurt minorities.

    This law is very much being pushed by entrenched religious community leaders who want to create new blasphemy laws by conning the woke into doing it for them. Those people really aren't going to do well if their dinner table rants get reported to the police. The question is, are they too stupid to realise this or not?

    Can you cite any of these cases where minorities have been hurt by these laws in the UK? Genuinely interested.

    This law is very much being pushed by entrenched religious community leaders

    What religious communities and leaders would they be?

    If you got a rat in your family and they aren't found hanging under a bridge you deserve each other.

    All this insanity is going to end in either war, or lots of murders when people finally get pushed too far.

      "Americans" like that means generally, which implies either "all" or "most" both of these quantifiers when inserted into your statement make it a lie. You know this. Also, this is about scottland. Are you a bot or just retarded?

      Either way, get your 'death to America' crap out of here.

      /u/mangora7 the bot is back in https://saidit.net/s/WorldNews/comments/6pqo/in_scotland_you_can_now_report_your_family/pqel?context=3

      Strangest take ever. I'm not American but I can say that the idea of the state asking to be made aware of private conversations in family homes by people is a little bit of an overreach. At least the Stasi got a salary and pension.

      As for having to complain I wouldn't say most Americans would agree they'd simply think to themselves if one wishes to complain about something they should be able to and not have some snitch in their family report them to the secret police.

      Don't really see how anyone can disagree with that.

      So previously you were not allowed to report things to the police? If fifty years ago you walked to the police station to report Uncle Joe to the police for something he said, did they arrest you?

      Yes. People can report stuff to the police.

      [–][deleted] 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

      Oh, a wise guy eh? Reported for hate speech.

      [–]literalotherkin 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

      If you walked into a police station to report something someone had said in your house about a political or social issue fifty years ago the police would have spit in your face and rightly so. Even blasphemy laws in the UK were never enforced for things simply said in the private home.

      Only an utter creep could defend this lunacy.

      [–]Nemacolin 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

      But you could have reported family members to the hate speech police fifty years ago.

      The police in some places have arrested people for "hate speech".
      Just check the joke video that Count Dankula posted link.

        How can someone be genetically a socialist and internationalist? That makes zero sense. Are you a Zionist? You seem to like to base everything off blood and genetics, which I do agree determines a lot of your culture, traditions, etc., but then you say weird things like this.
