This Movie Offends You? Good.

[@colettecavazos7343]

Here's the thing: I agree with your thesis. However, I don't think Taika's speech was a betrayal of his free-speech beliefs. I think it was more of a commentary on the rise of Neo-Nazis, and the fact that the basic ideas the world agreed upon at the end of the war have, in some parts of the country, been largely lost. Taika is simply expressing many of our fears that history may, in some form, repeat itself, in part because this conversation has been censored. The point of the movie was, in part, to bring to light just how ridiculous Nazi ideas are, and how dangerous they can turn out to be. Ignoring them and making them this cultural taboo gives them a kind of respect that they don't deserve. That's what Taika was saying; we have, by shoving down the Nazi conversation, legitimized it, and without raising the points found in films like Jojo Rabbit, we allow neo-Nazis to march without the backlash that they should receive. He's not saying we should literally lock up anyone with Nazi beliefs; he's saying we should fight against them culturally. He's saying that we aren't doing enough, not to silence them, but to debunk them, to make fun of them, to prove that what they're doing is dangerous bullshit. We shouldn't be silent bystanders, not with this.

@@FEEonline just as you say that free speech is legal and a good thing, people who critisise you also have to do it, so here I go So first regardless of your personal feelings or opinions on socialism (which i already by watching the video know you are not in favor of it and Even call it a dictatorship), Nazi Germany isn't socialism, it's imperialism and even if they call themselves socialists that doesn't mean they are, north Korea is called "people's democratic republic off Korea" and we both know they aren't democratic, and the reason they aren't socialists is because socialism is supposed to be about equality and for people to earn a similar amount off Money (whether the Sistem is good or manages to do that is irrelevant as even if it doesn't manage to do it the Nazi weren't trying to achieve what socialists were), the Nazi only cared for white people which they considered German they didn't care about money equality at all, so they we'rent socialists Now as I've pointed out you seem to believe all socialism is dictatorship but regardless of your personal opinion on the matter this is factually incorrect, as socialism isn't a government system but an economical one which means that you could have socialism with dictatorship but also with democracy, and that is also true off capitalism as it is also an economical system and not a political one, like for example, china is capitalistic yet has a dictatorship where free speech isn't allowed, they are capitalists because they trade with money and use a system where the companies are free to do whatever they want, and there's also socialism which isn't from dictatorship like the one on countries like Bolivia or the one on Norway or Finland (some people might say that Norway or Finland aren't socialists and that's maybe true but Bolivia is still an example off democratic socialism as the president was chosen by vote) And yeah there can be democratic capitalism and non democratic socialism (often called stalinism or communism) so if you really want to warn people about dictatorship then just say dictatorship and not capitalism or socialism cause they don't have to do with the people on the government

Nigga Bean obviously not. This movie doesn’t give a shit about making Hitler look worst .

Given that Hitler is just Jojo’s subconscious- every dilema he has , one side of his thoughts is Hitler- , I’d say it’s just him thinking about doing stuff that adults do for relief , since he tries so hard to act like one and mature for most of the movie. Tbh I just think they didn’t use alcohol as the think Hitler offered cause... well... it’s much more casual and normal for a person to offer a cigar. So in short, it’s Jojo thinking “I should use a cigar/drink wine cause that’s what adults do when they are stresses. Oh, but I am 10, I cant”

“Offensive speech” is exactly what the right of “free speech” is intended to protect. There is no need to protect “inoffensive” speech.

[@AlexMint]

Nobody cares about "inoffensive" speech, but the issue is what qualifies as offensive. Most of my life, I've had my very existence treated as more offensive than the nazis my great grandfather beat to death with a shovel. At least in my sphere of existence, satire of obviously wrong people seems to be more protected than the lives of the people the nazis sought to exterminate. Satire is at risk, but so is genuine expression of mere existence which is how we get shit like the easily-editable lesbian cop troll in Onward(lesbian cop troll is a product of corporate censorship). Every time I see an expression of a marginalized person hit mainstream audiences, I can't help but feel like I have to batten down the hatches for another storm of harassment.

[@davidvana3730]

@@AlexMint You COMPLETELY missed the point of my post. I said in my post, “There is no need to protect ‘inoffensive’ speech” (i.e. nobody cares about it) and your first point of rebuttal is to assert agreement with that. Then you go on to say, “the issue is what qualifies as offensive”. This implies you want to stomp out all “offensive speech”…in other words, you want to completely eliminate the *very concept* that ultimately allowed you to be treated as an equal. That is NOT the issue. The issue is, "should we even HAVE free speech?" Let me clarify and speak slowly so you don’t miss the point: The concept of “free speech” is SOLELY to protect that speech which is found to be offensive. If you are arguing to end “offensive speech” you are arguing for an end to “free speech” and the implementation of an authoritarian regime to enforce it…under a threat of violence. There are no shades of gray here…it is black and white. Me denouncing your pathetic victim-hood game isn’t me dismissing your existence. Quite the contrary, by taking issue with your positions, I am ACKNOWLEDGING your existence. All my life I’ve been told I can’t go to a particular school…I can’t have a particular scholarship…I can’t have a particular job…I can’t get a loan, a government grant, a government contract…all because the color of my skin is wrong or I have the wrong gender. Every time I thought, “their loss, not mine” (i.e. THEY are the victim…not me). But, unlike you, I didn’t whine like a little pansy-ass…I moved on! If I were to whine about it and you were to denounce my whining, that would NOT be you dismissing my existence. It would be you ACKNOWLEDGING my existence. BTW, I am incapable of dismissing your existence. No one is… except you. I find it ironic that you make the false claim that your “very existence [has been] treated as more offensive that the nazis” (who tortured and murdered 6 million people)…all the while the left is literally calling people who merely disagree with them “Nazis”. The outlandishness of your claim is only surpassed by the sheer stupidity of it. But, projection and hypocrisy are standard principles of the left. Now, I don’t give a crap where on the victim-hood hierarchy you fit…I don’t care what combination of gender/sexuality/race/creed/mental disorder describes you. In an expansion of Martin Luther King’s quote, “Judge a man/woman not by gender/sexuality/race/creed/mental disorder, but by the content of the man/woman’s character”. Let’s take transgenderism. I don’t give a crap if you are transgender (in fact, if you are, I will fight to the *death* to protect your right to speak freely, i.e. say things that offend others like “gender is fluid”). I will also wish you the best in dealing with your mental disorder however you see fit. And if that means mutilating your body to conform to whatever your mind believes/pretends you are, so be it! Where I will draw the line is when you try to use authoritarianism (such as Nazism) to deny science, stomp out free speech, and force innocent people under the threat of violence to conform to a radical ideology and speech codes which are a product of that mental disorder. I will also fight to put an end to the obscene exploitation and abuse of children to perpetuate that radical ideology. Let me be clear...the transgender movement isn't trying to assert their own rights...they are trying to stomp out the rights of others. I'll make a deal with them...I'll let them pretend/believe whatever they want to about themselves if they stop trying to force me to deny basic biology and live in their imaginary world. I think the insane whack-job members of the LGBTQIAA+LMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ movement should have their incredibly offensive speech protected. I also believe the insane whack-job members of the Neo-Nazi movement should have their incredibly offensive speech protected. That way people like me can see how insane and whack-job they are and make our own judgments about them. Let the marketplace of ideas work rather than put the decisions of what you can say and cannot say into the hands of a small set of bureaucrats (like Pelosi and Trump). The line is drawn where speech is an incitement of violence. One final point of clarification. I really don't give a rip how many intersectional ribbons you wear...I really don't give a rip where on the political spectrum you reside...if you are of good character, I will treat you with respect and defend you. If, however, your act like a friggin moron, I will call you out on it. And, if I call you out, it won't be because of your ribbons, it will be because you're a moron.

We have to crush it." - Winston Churchill to US-General Robert E. Wood, November 1936 *** "The enemy is the German Reich and not Nazism, and those who still haven't understood this, haven't understood anything." - Churchill's chief counselor Robert Lord Vansittart to foreign minister Lord Halifax, September 1940 *** "The war wasn't only about abolishing fascism, but to conquer sales markets. We could have, if we had intended so, prevented this war from breaking out without doing one shot, but we didn't want to." - Winston Churchill to Truman, March 1946 *** "During the entire period of the telegram war, in 1939-1940, lengthy negotiations took place between the German and British foreign ministries, in which the British suggested to cancel the war if Germany would reinstate the gold standard and reintroduce interest rates." - Lieutenant-Colonel J. Creagh Scott, 11th August 1947, Chelsea Town Hall, London *** "Hitler, this uneducated and elementary man, has restored thanks to his natural intuition and even against the technical opinion of Schacht, an economic system of a very dangerous kind. [...] He has eliminated international and private finance, something so completely counter-revolutionary (i.e. anti-Bolshevist) that, as you already see, he has by means of magic, as it were, radically eliminated unemployment among more than seven million technicians and workers. If Hitler reached this despite all the bourgeois economists who surround him, then he was quite capable, in the absence of the danger of war, of applying his system also to peace time production... There is only one solution - war." - Christian Rakovsky, the Soviet emissary to Paris and the liaison between the Soviet elite and high finance, when questioned by the GPU officer Gabriel Kuzmin in Moscow on 26 January 1938 *** "We made a monster, a devil out of Hitler. Therefore we couldn't disavow it after the war. After all, we mobilized the masses against the devil himself. So we were forced to play our part in this diabolic scenario after the war. In no way we could have pointed out to our people that the war only was an economic preventive measure." - US foreign minister James Baker, 1992 *** "Not the political doctrine of Hitler has hurled us into this war. The reason was the success of his increase in building a new economy. The roots of war were envy, greed and fear." - Major General J.F.C. Fuller, historian, England *** “Germany issued debt-free and interest-free money from 1935 on, which accounts for Germany’s startling rise from the depression to a world power in five years. The German government financed its entire operations from 1935 to 1945 without gold, and without debt.

@@greenorion6501 Your thumbnail describes the size of your brain. Birdy. The Holodomor (Ukrainian: Голодомо́р; Голодомо́р в Украї́ні;[a][2] derived from морити голодом, "to kill by starvation")[3][4][5] was a man-made famine in Soviet Ukraine in 1932 and 1933 that killed millions of Ukrainians. It is also known as the Terror-Famine and Famine-Genocide in Ukraine,[6][7][8] and sometimes referred to as the Great Famine[9] or the Ukrainian Genocide of 1932-33.[10] It was part of the wider Soviet famine of 1932-33, which affected the major grain-producing areas of the country. During the Holodomor, millions of inhabitants of Ukraine, the majority of whom were ethnic Ukrainians, died of starvation in a peacetime catastrophe unprecedented in the history of Ukraine.[11] Since 2006, the Holodomor has been recognized by Ukraine[12] and 15 other countries as a genocide of the Ukrainian people carried out by the Soviet government.[13] Early estimates of the death toll by scholars and government officials varied greatly.[14] According to higher estimates, up to 12 million[15] ethnic Ukrainians were said to have perished as a result of the famine. A U.N. joint statement signed by 25 countries in 2003 declared that 7-10 million perished.[16] Research has since narrowed the estimates to between 3.3[17] and 7.5[18] million. According to the findings of the Court of Appeal of Kiev in 2010, the demographic losses due to the famine amounted to 10 million, with 3.9 million direct famine deaths, and a further 6.1 million birth deficits.[19] The term Holodomor emphasises the famine's man-made and intentional aspects, such as rejection of outside aid, confiscation of all household foodstuffs, and restriction of population movement. Whether the Holodomor was genocide is still the subject of academic debate, as are the causes of the famine and intentionality of the deaths. Some scholars believe that the famine was planned by Joseph Stalin to eliminate a Ukrainian independence movement.[11][20][21] The loss of life has been compared to that of the Holocaust.[22][23][24][25] However, some historians dispute its characterization as a genocide.[26][27] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor

I'm 32 years old and have watched the world change a lot from when I was a kid to now. One thing I noticed is that there used to be this commonly held, distinct separation between adult and non-adult. It was like this shared value that we all assumed certain things are for adults, and you have to be an adult to be able to process and handle whatever was in that content. If something had the Parental Advisory CD label or was a M-rated video game, it was really common for parents to not buy it for you. Everyone had that one friend who's parents didnt know or didnt care and yeah you listened to Blink-182 at his house and yeah you mighta borrowed his CD to burn a copy on CD-R and label it "Rock Mix 6" but you had to work for it. Then you crossed that line and became 'adult'. Society saw you as being able to handle things and make up your own mind. It was known that an adult can see something and not have all their values and lives changed/influenced by a piece of media. You're an adult now, we think you're capable of seeing/hearing/reading this. The odd thing is that it's starting to get blurred so much that people now talk about what society can and can't handle, adults included, the same way they used to talk about what children can and can't handle. There is no longer this understood 'finish line' that you want to get to and cross so you can be one of the club who can handle 'adult' stuff. People will speak casually about what the entire population should have access to or not the same way Tipper Gore spoke about the evil of metal music. At the very least... even Tipper wanted to put 'Advisory' labels on stuff... she was still leaving it up to the parent.... the conversation has drifted towards people openly deeming certain pieces of media acceptable or incapable of being seen by the actual adults.
