Brickbat: If You Don't Have Anything Nice to Say

Pakistan Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah Khan has warned "hecklers" who bother government officials they could have their biometric identity cards and passports frozen, which would block them from accessing their bank accounts or traveling aboard, among other penalties. The government has recently charged former Prime Minister Imran Khan under anti-terror legislation, and Khan's supporters reportedly jeered a government official when they saw him in a restaurant.

I'm so glad I live in the USA where siccing law enforcement on your political enemies as if they were Nazi subhumans is unthinkable.

[sarcasmic]

Sending law enforcement after peaceful tourists is exactly like East Germany. It's just like getting arrested for what you say at the dinner table. Exactly the same.

[BigT]

Or like having the FBI target you for speaking at a school board meeting. Or taking your cell phone …just because. Or raiding you home to see if you’re hiding anything.

Yes, those are all of the same genus if not species.

[sarcasmic]

Isolated incidents that make the news because they are so unusual are proof that these things are happening all the time. Gotcha.

[Agammamon]

Hey, how many isolated incidents does it take before they're not isolated incidents anymore.

Also, why is it you believe the sudden pile-ons whenever someone accuses someone else of assault - and all the hidden incidents from the past all.come out at once but you won't accept that what's making the news is making the news because it's becoming common?

[sarcasmic]

Hey, how many isolated incidents does it take before they're not isolated incidents anymore.

How many times has the FBI been sicced on someone speaking at a school board meeting? If you read the comments you'll likely answer "A hundred times a day! Biden's American a fascist! Only Trump can save us!" when the answer is much closer to once.

[R Mac]

“If you read the comments you'll likely answer "A hundred times a day!”

Only if you’re retarded.

~19 unarmed black people are killed by police a year. No discussion on what percentage of those was probably legitimate.

Let's burn down our cities, defund our police and declare the entire country systemically racist over these isolated incidents.

[sarcasmic]

Are you saying that the BLM idiots are just as stupid as the Trump conservatives who feel they're being crammed into rail cars and sent to camps?

Biden Administration: "Sounds like paradise."

"The government has recently charged former Prime Minister Imran Khan under anti-terror legislation, and Khan's supporters..."

There are two people named in the article. They both have the last name "Khan".

[mad.casual]

I would say that, presumably, supporters wouldn't be heckling the people they support, but it's Pakistan and we're all so eyes-deep in post-truth, post-parody bullshit who knows.

[Mickey Rat]

It is more a suggestion that the sentence could have been made more easily understood by not using "Khan" there.

[Ajsloss]

KHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNN!

[mpercy]

They would have had to ascertain that Khan's pronouns.

[mad.casual]

You mean hire actual editors to do actual editing, investigative journalists to actually investigate things, and actual reporters to actually report them?

From Hell's heart we stab at thee!

[Brandybuck]

> Biden Administration: "Sounds like paradise."

Ron DeSantis: "Sounds like paradise."

[Dillinger]

is like Smith over there.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Canada already did it.

[BigT]

Oh Canada! F Canada!

[Vernon Depner]

Coming soon to the USA.

[R Mac]

Soon?

[GroundTruth]

Beat me to it!

[Jerry B.]

Shhh. Don't give the Democrats any ideas.

Disappointed that Reason hasn’t run anything yet on people in the UK getting knees on their necks for saying things like “Not my king.” Is it in poor taste to yell it when the coffin rolls by? Yes, but it’s not high treason or something. Makes me glad we fought a war against those same tyrants so we could live in a free country where we can say anything we like on social media about missing laptops, for example.

[mad.casual]

Is it in poor taste to yell it when the coffin rolls by?

We're talking about The Queen's coffin, right? "Not my king." would seem to be a lamentation of her passing.

[Ajsloss]

Well, if the queen had balls, she'd be the king.

[Don't look at me!]

The only requirement would be to identify as a man.

[Mickey Rat]

There is an element of saying "not my king" is the equivalent of saying "not my country". As well as the UK has much weaker free speech protections than the USA.

You know what other country's president blocked bank accounts for people who were mean to him?

[Stuck in California]

China?

Or was it something else with a C... ?

[Dillinger]

>>traveling aboard

all abroad!!

[Unicorn Abattoir]

No Hulk jokes with that picture? I'm very disappointed in you people.

[mad.casual]

Still waiting for She-Hulk to come up with a better joke...

[Vernon Depner]

That's no longer necessary. Today they can shut down anyone's life with a few mouse clicks. If they're still technically alive, so what.

[mad.casual]

Let them walk to TX and they can ship them on to stand at the wall around Kamala Harris' house.

Which brings us to the Law of Salutary Contradiction, whose formulation is: “That’s not happening and it’s good that it is.” While the Law of Merited Impossibility applies to the future, this one is about the present. It’s what the ruling class immediately switches to after what they insisted would “never” happen is happening before everyone’s eyes.

Is the NSA spying on Tucker Carlson? That’s an insane conspiracy theory … which is also warranted by Tucker’s treasonous contacts with Russian officials as he seeks an interview with Putin.

Is the Biden Administration inviting in illegal immigrants, then putting them on military planes and shipping them to the heartland? Absolutely not … and these future Nobel Prize winners deserve their shot at the American Dream.

The coinage is Rod Dreher’s and goes back to the early debates on homosexual marriage. As Dreher formulates it, the Law of Merited Impossibility holds: “That will never happen, and when it does, boy will you [homophobes, transphobes, racists, sexists, whatever] deserve it.”
Its second purpose is to dismiss out of hand “slippery slope” arguments—despite, or because of, the fact that every single such argument over the last twenty years at least has proved true. Worried that allowing people to “self-identify” as whatever sex they want will lead to pervy 50-year-old men exposing themselves to’ tween girls? Insist, loudly and indignantly, that that will NEVER happen and anyone who suggests it might is an alarmist bigot with a heart full of hate.

The third purpose is to enforce the new caste system. Those who get to impose fresh irrational indignities on the rest of us are the upper caste. Those who object, or even have reservations, are lower. The latter are not allowed to harbor, much less express, any doubts. Whatever humiliation the upper caste has planned for us, we deserve and must meekly accept. Hence when said pervy 50-year-old actually does start waving around “her” equipment in the girls’ locker room, if any parent dares object, let ’em have it with both barrels. That thing that ten seconds ago you said would “never” happen? Now it’s righteous punishment for the retrograde.
