Some people are saying I shouldn't find Nazi jokes distasteful because of freedom of speech but that isn't how it works. I do find Nazi jokes distasteful to various extents depending on context. I also find sexualised cartoons of the prophet Muhammad distasteful.

I actually put a lot of value on being tasteful and considerate of other people's feelings. I just don't think we should ever, ever enforce this by law.

I assume April 23rd has been chosen symbolically, but it does make it difficult for me to get the time off. I'll try to book it next week. I'm at home this week bonding with the Puppy.

Yay! Puppy! How is s/he? Hope you can come!

People defending free speech will be labeled Nazi sympathisers, Nazis & fascists, without irony, by people who think it’s appropriate to jail people for jokes. Future generations will look back on this period as the ‘banter era’.

Thank you both for standing up for important principles, and for publicizing this. I should be able to attend.

Actual Nazis would probably be offended that their hero is being lampooned by a pug. Authoritarians (e.g. Nazis) aren’t known for having a sense of humor. I’m so happy we have the 1st Amendment even if assholes exercise it too.

I'll be there if I can. I just hope it stays focused on free speech and doesn't get hijacked by anything else.

Hopefully it's at Speakers Corner again on a Sunday and I will endeavour to make the 3.5 hour trip as well.

Organized Facebook marches haven't gone well in the States over the last year. Something already so silly becoming more sinister is troubling.
