shadowplay@lemmy.wtfto Uplifting News@lemmy.world•Finland to criminalise Holocaust denialEnglish51·13 days agoHolocaust denialism is censorship. It’s an attempt to hide reality itself by controlling the narrative. If anything, outlawing holocaust denialism is anti-censorship, as it’s helping ensure that Nazis won’t be able to suppress the truth about what happened.
Someone claiming that outlawing holocaust denialism is censorship is trying to flip the script and overwrite reality (or just repeating someone else who is doing so, I guess). It’s like saying “Hey! Stop censoring my attempt to censor others! This is censorship!” It’s a mind game, an attempt at manipulation through deception. Look up the term DARVO: Deny, Accuse, Reverse Victim and Offender. That’s what saying “Outlawing holocaust denialism is censorship!” is: Reversing the Victim and Offender.
Lies and misinformation and other attempts to deceive and suppress the truth are not a form of free speech. Quite the opposite, they’re what results when free speech remains unprotected.

The Kids in the Hall]English1·15 days agoHonestly the main reason I know the Odds is because this music video was featured on Beavis & Butt-head once, lol. I grew up in the middle of nowhere and even though the show was kind of stupid they always had the best variety of music that was available to us at the time.
Hard Rock Zombies
Street Trash
The Stuff
Toxic Avenger (the original, I haven’t seen any of the others)
Hamburger: The Motion Picture
Slime City
Basket Case
Frankenhooker
thanks
