Hate Speech Bill in Ireland.

Call for a revolution in Ireland

It’s one thing to introduce “hate speech” legislation where the LEGAL definition of the word “hate” is clearly and unambiguously defined so that there can be absolutely no doubt as to the nature of the crime. This prevents abuse of such laws that can otherwise harm society in ways not yet imagined and by powerful actors in positions of power to exercise that abuse for their own aims.

It’s quite another when this bill seeks to make legal the absolute opposite..

Especially when such laws specifically allow for the criminalisation of the public based on perceived intent rather than clearly defined violations of law which in this case would include incitement.

This isn’t even the worst of this trash legislation…

Being criminalised for merely having in possession, whether in physical or digital form, such “offensive” materials, as deemed offensive by the establishment because the legal definition of “offensive material” was never clearly defined in this bill, without committing a crime of incitement should demand an immediate revocation of this bill. No one should be assumed guilty of a thought crime and forced to have to go through the expense of proving their innocence…

That is not the actions of a free and open democracy.

It’s horrendously authoritarian with a chilling effect on any opposition that seek to challenge the establishment.

The cornerstone of any healthy democracy with a sound justice system is the right that you are innocent until PROVEN guilty of a clearly defined crime in a court of law. This “Hate Speech” bill seeks to undermine and destroy that right.

And in the hands of a corrupt establishment, it’s downright dangerous…
