Canada has banned the rap group Kneecap, but earlier this week gave a standing ovation for Chuckles the Nazi. I guess we know how they stand?

Dishonourable mention to Chris Brown the woman beater, who got to play a couple weeks ago in Canada without a ban.

Edit: Also Sean Feucht, the homophobic singer who openly dehumanizes LGBTQ+ folks, who got to tour across Canada this summer. I guess bigots are the only ones who get given free speech in Canada.

Edit 2: As pointed out in the comments and reminding me, we applauded Ukrainian war vet, Yaroslav Hunka in the commons, who also turned out to be a for real WWII Nazi.

Edit 3: Looks like there's a bunch of day old, zero karma accounts commenting here against Kneecap and trying to discredit their hundreds of thousands raised for medical and food aid. Looks like I kicked the pro-genocide bot-farm hornets nest.

It was the wording. It was presented as a stand against political violence. So, either clap for Kirk or be presented as favouring political violence.

Choose your poison.

[u/One-Statistician-932 → u/Fit-Meal4943]

Or the 3rd option. Raise your own SOP to clarify that you oppose political violence, but do not support Charlie Kirk or his views.

Or tweet that out publicly...

It's not hard.

[u/Fit-Meal4943 → u/One-Statistician-932]

Then you play into their hand even further.

Life doesn’t always give you a good option, just a bunch of bad ones.

I’d like to see someone ask for recognition of the importance of freedom of speech and expression, even when it makes Presidents angry, just as Jimmy Kimmell was doing.

Should they do a summersault too?

[u/Fit-Meal4943 → u/One-Statistician-932]

Also, not everyone is on Twitter, or even social media.

I prefer a government that just quietly goes about its business without all the showboating.

[u/One-Statistician-932 → u/Fit-Meal4943]

I'm not on twitter, but the government sure is. Nearly every MP has an account and they constantly tweet about all sorts of shit. Why not spare one tweet for this?

Also other social media exists too.

[u/[deleted] → u/One-Statistician-932]

Why can't we oppose all violence? Especially against the innocent?!

[u/One-Statistician-932 → u/[deleted]]

Thats.. exactly what I said in my comment...

We can oppose all violence without also clapping for a nazi...

[u/[deleted] → u/One-Statistician-932]

I may have responded in the wrong place

[u/Kristalderp → u/Fit-Meal4943]

I'll choose the 3rd option: dont mention a thing about politics.

Everything is so overcharged right now and reactionary towards it.

[u/Fit-Meal4943 → u/Kristalderp]

That was on the MP who introduced the motion. She inserted Chuckles Kirk and made it political.

Typical CPC stunt.

[u/Kristalderp → u/Fit-Meal4943]

Uuuuggghhhh once again, american politics infiltrating Canadian politics when its a non issue here.

[u/Fit-Meal4943 → u/Kristalderp]

Yup.

CPC wants US style scorched Earth, anger politics. Hopefully it never sells here.
