The victim mindset of these people is on another level. DHH presents the openly transphobic Graham Linehan as some kind of free speech victim.

Oh, I should read the actual tweet? Funny the actual tweet is so much worse than I imagined.

If a trans-women is in a space that she is legally entitled to be in, according to him one should:

> Make, a scene, call the cops and if all else fails, punch him[he means the trans-women] in the balls

He is literally telling people to be violent against trans people. And then cries when actions have consequences.

These people are like the school yard bully who will start a fight with you then cry "timeout, timeout" when you punch back. And go to the teacher to convince you they are the real victim.

I was actually shocked he included those tweets as if they were incredibly benign. I now believe this is an intentional move on his part. He knows the tweets are crazy incendiary, he just wants to filter out the audience early. This trend of catering to far right fan boys while maintaining plausible deniability is happening everywhere.

Its tge intent of the far right to always double down on the banality of hate. Its essentially a psychological martingale problem.

The thing about free speech is that it's only relevant if someone with power hates what you say.

disingenuous.

even before, during and after the fascist protest he is celebrating (as an immigrant in america, telling about his daydreaming on being an immigrant in the UK), there have been arrests for people simply saying "killing children is wrong" all over london.

yet he could not pick any of those arests for his example. yeah, it's plain and simple white supremacists. get over it.

It is interesting you cut off the first part of the tweet and replaced it with "legally entitled to be in".

It apparently isn't legal in UK? And also not widely legal in the US yet.

Anyways it seems to me that the debate hasn't been completely resolved yet.
