Latest / Radio Baloney - The Richie Baloney Show! / Elon Musk On Ireland Censorship Law, Conor McGregor Blasts Government
Transcript
- 0:03Well, it's probably time to pull that old copy of nineteen eighty four off
- 0:06the shelf and give it a reread, because, let me tell you,
- 0:09the leftists have and it appears that they think it's full of just great ideas.
- 0:14Now you may have seen this tweet from Elon Musk says language being proposed
- 0:19as law in Ireland means this could literally happen to you for having a meme
- 0:25on your phone. And he's responding to this tweet that says, when you
- 0:28make a meme in Ireland, and this is a reality that the government in
- 0:33Ireland is promising to make happen. I don't suppose I'll ask the Irish if
- 0:38this is what they want now. Connor McGregor responded to this tweet from the
- 0:42Prime Minister of Ireland and the tweet from the Prime Minister was this, This
- 0:47is a day of enormous joy and relief for Emily Hand and her family.
- 0:52An innocent child who was lost has now been found and returned, and we
- 0:58breathe a massive sigh of relief. Our prayers have been answered. And there's
- 1:03a reader's added context note here. It says them Emily wasn't lost, she
- 1:07was abducted by terrorists from Hamas and Connor McGregor responded to that he said,
- 1:14she was abducted by an evil terrorist organization. What is with you and your
- 1:19government? And you're paid for media affiliates constantly downplaying attempting to repress horrific acts
- 1:26that happened to children. You are a disgrace. The day after a stabbing
- 1:32of children in Ireland, not one paper had it on their front cover.
- 1:37We will not forget now. Connor McGregor is obviously a massively popular figure in
- 1:44Ireland and here he is criticizing very harshly the Prime Minister of Ireland and also
- 1:49clearly the immigration policies of Ireland. And this comes after the riots that happened
- 1:56after those children had been stabbed. And you might think that this all would
- 2:00be a cause for reflection on the part of the Irish government, considering that
- 2:06they're supposed to be representing the Irish but instead, of course you get Conna
- 2:09McGregor under investigation for online hate speech by Irish authorities because well, somebody,
- 2:17please think of the globalists now. Of course, when people become upset by
- 2:23the policies of the government, the first thing you have to do is pass
- 2:27hate speech legislation. When you think about it, all law, all legislation
- 2:32is about the restriction of freedom. That's exactly what we're doing here, is
- 2:37we are restricting freedom. But we're doing it for the common good. You
- 2:39will see throughout our constitution. Yes, you have rights, what they are
- 2:45restricted for the common good. Everything needs to be balanced. And if your
- 2:51views on other people's identities go to make their lives unsafe, insecure, and
- 2:59cause them such deep discomfort that they cannot live in peace, then I believe
- 3:04that it is our job as legislators to restrict those freedoms for the common goal.
- 3:09Well, good thing, Ireland's got that woman to decide whose speech is
- 3:14causing harm or not. And of course this is the perfect time to rush
- 3:19through hate speech laws. Well, let's take a look at this bill.
- 3:23What does it say? And this has actually been in the works for a
- 3:25long time, but now obviously this is seen as an opportunity to rush it
- 3:30through the Incitement to violence or hatred and hate Offenses bill. Well, right
- 3:37away, we get the word hatred, which means hatred against a person or
- 3:40a group of persons in the state or elsewhere on account of their protected characteristics
- 3:46or any one of those characteristics. And in case you were wondering, the
- 3:52word hatred isn't defined any more specifically in here than just simply as hatred.
- 4:00So somebody's going to be deciding what that means, and it ain't going to
- 4:02be you. So what are the characteristics that are protected against hate? Well,
- 4:08let's see race, color, nationality, religion, national or ethnic origin,
- 4:13dissent, gender, sex characteristics, sexual orientation, or disability, so
- 4:18e, national or ethnic origin. Well, that would seem to deal with
- 4:21this nasty problem of people complaining about mass immigration. And of course, since
- 4:28hatred isn't actually defined, it could mean anything just jokes. How about said
- 4:32gender? How about saying the gender wage gap isn't real? Is that hate?
- 4:38I think under this law it could absolutely be defined as such. If
- 4:42you're a woman who doesn't want biological males and say rape shelters, well,
- 4:46I'm afraid it might just be back in the kitchen for you, the prison
- 4:49kitchen, I mean, because it also says this, A person guilty of
- 4:53an offense under this section shall be liable on conviction or indictment to a fine
- 4:59or imprison for a term not exceeding five years or both. They don't mention
- 5:03anything about room one. Oh want in this yet? I'm sure that's coming.
- 5:09But back to this tweet from Elon Muskett says, language being proposed as
- 5:13law in Ireland means this could literally happen to you for having a meme on
- 5:16your phone. Well, let's refer to this section of the bill offense of
- 5:23preparing or possessing material likely likely Who is going to decide that, again,
- 5:29it ain't gonna be you likely to incite violence or hatred against persons on account
- 5:35of their protected characteristics, And it says prepares or possesses such material with intent
- 5:43to incite violence or hatred against such a person or group of persons on account
- 5:48of those characteristics or any of those characteristics, or being reckless reckless as to
- 5:56whether such violence or hatred is thereby incited. So obviously the goal of this
- 6:01is to prevent people from sharing dissenting ideas such as memes. But it does
- 6:08go a step further because it just says prepares or possesses such material with intent
- 6:16with intent to incite violence, So you don't even have to share it.
- 6:21You could just have it with intent. This is pre crime. This means
- 6:26you could just have a meme on your phone, or even you could just
- 6:30write something, You could draw a picture and just have it in your house
- 6:34or a book maybe nineteen eighty four say, and if they determined that you
- 6:40had intent to incite violence with it, well, then I guess here comes
- 6:45the police to protect society from you. This is the type of thing you
- 6:48see from governments that both hate and fear their own people. Now, obviously
- 6:55Ireland is not alone in this. There's the same authoritarian tendencies in Canada,
- 7:00in the US and the UK, in Australia, and really I think it's
- 7:03about time that everybody stopped voting for people that hate them. Anyway, that's
- 7:10all I got to say about that. Please subscribe, like and share sharing
- 7:13It really helps me out. I thank you for that. I will see
- 7:15you next time.
