This is why we keep our guns. Try arresting me for my speech and I'll shoot the first mother fucker who comes looking for me. If I'm going to jail, then I'm committing a god damn crime.

I dunno. Arresting people for posting harmless jokes or rap lyrics online isn't a great look for them.

That part where otherwise law abiding citizens can be arrested and convicted of crimes for saying harmless things online.

Calling it a police state might be an exaggeration, but its leaning in that direction.

Criminals going to jail for committing crimes is hardly unique to police states.

I mean, most people think of police state as a government that excessively restricts free speech and activities which restricting jokes and song lyrics is. You're clearly thinking of a more specific definition though so why don't you just clarify what your problem with the claim is. Your tactic right now is just akin to someone denying that slavery is racist and then going "how so" every time it's said what aspects of it make it racist.

I was afraid you'd just go for another low effort shitpost. Do you have a source that most people think slavery is racist? I know you're capable of making logical and reasonable posts. Just say what your problem with the claim is.

I don't think I've ever made that claim so why would I have a source to back it up?

So you don't think most people think slavery is racist?
Also, if we're going down this route, why is it our responsibility to prove the claim? You need to back that claim up.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police_state
but since the beginning of the 20th century it has "taken on an emotional and derogatory meaning" by describing an undesirable state of living characterized by the overbearing presence of the civil authorities.

Criminalizing jokes and song lyrics falls under this.

Let's be more like Europe they say.

No thanks. Being able to serve jail time over words in which anyone can claim is hurtful it's a joke. I'll take whatever problems America has over that. Don't think people understand the absurd loop hole that opens.

So if one day the government really wants to crack down and it's time to start a movement to make a real change, well you can't because anything anti government will just be called hate speech. Seems fun.

I guess it depends on what you mean by "need", you aren't going to die on anything if you don't source it, so need seems too strong to me. The burden of proof is on you however.

That doesn't say the UK is a police state.

I'd say all of that is better than a government that can legally kill you.
