Criticizing democracies with the policies of a police state is Nazi behavior? I’m lost. AFAIK Nazis are associated with those supporting authoritarian regimes not those criticizing the slide into authoritarianism. You even yourself put up a link about someone convicted who had to go through a long legal battle to get their freedom. The claim may have been overbroad in terms of the powers the state has, but they were off only in magnitude what RIPA2000 outlines as powers.
How is "against democracies" even on topic here? Parent commentator said HK is now like the UK, why it matter how much of a democracy either of the places are?
And no, it isn't a "nazi bar" just because someone disagrees with you, that's not how that label should be applied. Save it for actual nazis, otherwise you're doing the rest of us a huge disservice, as when there are actual nazis, people think we're talking opinions rather than facts. As a human who despise nazis and fascists, please don't contribute to making the world worse.
I strongly disagree with the parent poster, but they are deploying a specific term. Nazi Bar doesn't imply everyone within is a Nazi. It implies a bar that permits a Nazi to stay and drink. That Nazi will come back later with their friends who are also Nazis, and over time the bar will increasingly become funded by Nazis.
It's really really strange to use here, however, because this thread is about not giving in to authoritarianism. If you want to see intolerance, this person should go look at the recent transgender athletes thread. That post might actually be a "Nazi bar".
Because the original commenter is screaming about how the UK is authoritarian without any links, which smells to me like he's a typical right wing idjit, who wants to put in Nigel Farage in power and actually turn the place more Nazi.
That's why I asked if he was referring to that overturned conviction, which shows there's still some rule of law, or post a link to what the actual hell he's talking about.
Pfft, but well, fuck me, just learned that I'm the idiot who's wrestling with the pig yet again.
