The easiest way to dichotomize these is strength vs weakness. Too much strength leads to tyranny, rigidness, and loss of self-expression. Too much weakness, however, leads to backstabbing, cheating, lying, loss of sense of honor or morality, and eventually, chaos.
.
And when society praises victims, it creates a culture of weakness. All the obsession with "toxic masculinity" grows out of such.

This is very amusing. And we've mostly covered the situation with Tommy anyway.

Well, the thing is, he didn't break any rules or go beyond reasonable reach for comedy. He debunked the Vox video as he often does, and refereed to Maza using the same words that he used to refer to himself. YouTube themselves had to admit that he broke no rules, and they demonetized his channel anyway, because of the fear of another adpocalypse.
.
He has literally done nothing wrong in the entire endeavour, it's just that YouTube is scared shitless of the sjw mob online, and will prostrate themselves to them and the mainstream media if pressured at all.
.
He is by definition a victim here, which is funny, but the irony is lost on the morons defending Maza.

famousone likes to use this quote to describe the free speech argument, and it's definitely true.

Yeah, I mostly agree, only a couple things to point out. Tommy doesn't care about the race of people he's railing against, he cares that they are fundamentalist muslims and as such, treat the native people of UK without any respect for them being human. This is why they find acceptable to commit all sorts of crimes against them without feeling remorse.
.
As for the trial itself, my biggest suspicions here are that the publication ban was either hidden, or placed in there post-fact, since Tommy claims to have spent the time ensuring that it's not in place. Plus the fact that if everything was taken into account, including his confession, he would serve no time in jail at all, because he already served it from the previous mistrial. Yet they shoved him there anyway.
.
And as for the media bans and smears, it's yet again because he is going against political correctness. First, they came for Alex Jones, then for Tommy, and Crowder was supposed to be the next target, but they didn't dare.

If you can;t get your personal feelings out of the way for a single moment, there is no point in discussing this further. I'm not going to debate you on any other topic either, there are much better people on this site to engage with. Consider this a farewell, because I will be ignoring you from now on.

Can you prove that the order for the reporting restrictions was publicly available at the time and Tommy deliberately breached or avoided finding out about it?
It was confirmed that his actions did not influence the proceedings of the trial, and "causing anxiety" is the most bullshit claim I've ever heard.
And can he then charge the MSM reporters for covering him in an "agressive manner"? Because if he can, then he should, just to prove how bullshit that charge is.
.
Stop weaseling around and answer the questions if you want to discuss this further.

BBC, the Biased Broadcasting Corporation is the least reliable account, given their track record of being a shill for progressives and outright communists.

And finally, the analysis of the coverage on his sentencing from the BBC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RBjNE4hxjE

Because I've seen where this leads. The future of the dissenters like him. I'm sure you wouldn't know what is going on in Russia, would you?
.
The main opposition leader's brother has been convicted for 2-3 years on fabricated charges, his attempts at creating a political party have been shut down through loopholes every single time, the only outlet through which he can report on the news is YouTube, and he is regularly arrested for 30 days for organizing an "unapproved" rally, with about 100+ days total in a year. While the law states that the government cannot prevent or arrest people for organizing rallies, as long as they inform the government that it will happen, which was the case. Their headquarters are regularly raided by the police, there have been hired thugs that hospitalized a number of the opposition figures.
.
And this is the path that the UK is sliding towards. The complete corruption of the government, the courts and the media.

If you say you have watched the interview, then disprove his defense.
1. There were no reporting restrictions on the case as far as publicly available information
2. He was charged with "causing anxiety" to the defendants, which was expanded into influencing their trial, which by that time was considered to be over and the judge agreed to that in court (About 1:10 timestamp).
3. The third charge was for confronting them in an "agressive manner", which if the standard applied equally, would cover most of the MSM reporters as well.
.
Regardless, he was essentially convicted for being a journalist, since there is absolutely zero fucking proof that his actions influenced the trial, and I have doubts about the fact that they were a knowing breach and could influence the outcome at all.
.
And given how much he is already persecuted by everyone, I will still stand in defense of him. He was wiped off the internet, condemned by every single mainstream outlet, he is attacked on a regular basis.

Yeah, take all the time you need. But this is why I don't respect guest_ anymore. When he flips the fuck out, he begins insulting the person he is trying to persuade.

Sigh. You are the single most condescending cunt on this website, and I would not for a moment feel sorry if you left.
.
Just remember, that when the world finally breaks down, we will be on the different sides of the barricade. And my side will have the guns.
.
@xvarnah, @famousone, @firmlee_grasspit, dunno if you all know about the case we're discussing here, but you are welcome to watch the interview I linked above and watch guest_ not disprove a single thing of importance that was there. I'm not going to argue with this cunt, I'm far too tired and pissed off to argue in good faith, not like he did anyway.

Here is the interview with the man where he directly outlines how the prosecution was stacked against him and where it was unlawful or obviously skewed. Fucking prove him wrong, go ahead.

Except that he wasn't doing anything more than any other media in any other case, and in the original case, the judge said that there was nothing in his recording that could sway the jury. They reopened the case with a newly appointed judge who was specifically put on that case in order to dish out the harshest conviction possible. And he was not tried by a jury, so this conviction is illegitimate.
Tommy is a political prisoner at this point.

Universal healthcare is not collectivist any more than taxes are, because it is universal and is provided to everyone. That does not however, mean that there is no reason to be against it, or that you're wrong on the other accounts. Just correcting your reasoning here. Carry on.

As far as I remember, I am right in the middle, 2.5 towards libertarian.

Then again, what would the alternative you prefer be, and how would that impact the global situation? I do want to know how you think things would play out if the US didn't have even diplomatic relations with these countries.

Yeah. The compass itself is not the most accurate gauge, due to how loaded the questions there are, but it can still give you a bearing of where the different political groups are located in relation to each other.

This in particular is more about the double standard of the media rarely ever criticizing Obama because they liked him, but railing against Trump on every issue, even on the ones he's right about.

What alternative would you prefer? Maybe another foreign conflict, which benefits fucking no one and is a massive drain on a country with so many internal problems anyway?

Either way it is going to be beneficial. Because it will weed out people who have no legal right to vote, no matter in what way.
