The UK government seems to also be standing up to wokeist insanity:
huh it looks like the brits have put down their tea and found their balls.
I would be concerned this is designed to prevent too much unrest or backlash, while the insidious people spreading this simply bide their time.
Conversations over the dinner table that incite hatred must be prosecuted under Scotland’s hate crime law, the justice secretary has said.
Journalists and theatre directors should also face the courts if their work is deemed to deliberately stoke up prejudice, Humza Yousaf said.
The Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Bill has been condemned by critics including the Scottish Catholic Church, police representatives, academics and artists. It will introduce an offence of stirring-up of hatred against people with protected characteristics, including disability, sexual orientation and age.
Mr Yousaf said theatre directors and journalists should not be exempt from the bill, to prevent activists stoking tensions under the cloak of dramatic licence or freedom of expression. He said: “We wouldn’t want to give the likes of Tommy Robinson a defence by saying that he’s ‘a blogger who writes for The Patriot Times so my reasonable defence is that I am a journalist’.”
Tell me again how amazing Britain is.
The UK is very quickly coming to a point where if the elected officials won't stop this nonsense, the people will need to revolt. If they don't... Well, they already live in a police state. It will just become increasingly oppressive.
God I wish the term "white privilege" had never escaped into the wild.
The original version was "consider your own position as a white person as abnormal, privileges granted to you, instead of thinking of racism as a particular offense that is out of the ordinary to experience." I think that is still an interesting and valid exercise. However, just about all uses of it seem to take the approach that whiteness is objectively a privilege, which rightfully angers just about everyone.
It’s also a way to pretty easily shut down arguments
Yes. It really should be a beginning to a conversation, but it's used as an end to one.
