    Some ludicrous comments in that article. Seys was nonsensical enough "The North Face is saying that if you subscribe to DEI – which is a political and ideological view – you get a discount,” shared ex-Levi’s president Jennifer Sey. No Jenny, they're saying that if you're interested and prepared to educate yourself on the topic of DEI, they'll reward you with a discount on their usually expensive products. The so called "free speech" guy's comment is blatantly racist tosh, and I suspect even the most obtuse redneck on this site could tell him why.

    Edit: just did a quick search on that latter individual. Apparently he believes [on speech] that "everything is acceptable within the law providing it is not a direct incitement to violence.” So for the obtuse, ignoring many of the more subtle problems with his proposition, his view is that speech which could and will inevitably lead to mental health issues, bullying, etc AND speech which might and does lead to violent disagreement is okay. Thick as a brick.

      His proposition? Its a way of society and a way of life that was the norm for decades in a great many countries, and still is in most of those. A critical pillar that allowed civilisation to progress as it has the past 100 years. And by in large, demonstrably more successful than the path we are now veering towards. Granted, now there is more diagnosis of conditions (of which some are highly contentious and exploitative), the scientifically measurable negative impacts of social media and social constructs that degrade individuals ability to develop resilience, tolerance, the aptitude to want to understand others, develop self control and personal responsibility.

      You cannot legislate in any broad effective manner to protect peoples feelings. Its a slippery slope, an absurd delusion. The bar will never be low enough. The more you try, the more those mechanisms will be exploited for other purposes, eventually against you. History has shown it. Further, already being demonstrated by 2 tier enforcement in places like the UK and even here.

      To quote Martin Niemöller..

      "First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

      Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

      Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

      Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."

      And you call that other bloke thick..

        His proposition - like yours - is a nonsense. It's typical Libertarian law-of-the-jungle rubbish which completely disregards history and known human behaviour, and reduces societal standards to the lowest common denominator.

        Your own argument breaks down at the first hurdle because the premise itself is complete nonsense. Despite your claim, unfettered free speech has NEVER in history been the norm. It was always limited by social norms, societal hierarchies or the same realities which exist in places like China now.

        You can say almost anything in private - even then there can be consequences, as we see regularly in the media - but for obvious reasons modern societies have established legal limits to "speech" and recourse to individuals and entities you have intentionally defamed. Despite your opinion, legislation has been quite successful in making people responsible and accountable for egregious "speech". It has also put brakes on socially divisive extremism like racial slurs. The ongoing question is always about balance - where the line should be drawn. Some countries criminalise criticism of the Royal Family, others permit you to call a life-saving rescuer a "pedo" because your feelings were hurt by rejection of a ludicrous, attention-seeking offer of help.

        If you're going to reference Niemoller at least do him the courtesy of learning what his statements meant. His comments weren't aimed at the loss of - or even the importance of - free speech but on the failure of people to speak up against Nazism, and by implication any despotic or extreme force engaged in extreme anti-social/human actions. A reasonable but more general comparison would be "the price of democracy is eternal vigilance", which itself is markedly different form your free speech hero's proposition.

  A plastic hat? I like cotton hats because you can wet them and they'll stay wet for a while.

  • 

    Igaf on 05/10/2024 - 12:04

    And the evaporation provides a temporary cooling effect. Horses for courses though because cotton will only filter a relatively small amount of UV, so blockout on the ears etc is advisable.

  whenever I see someone in a hat like this I think billionaire.

    So anyone wearing a decent pair of shoes or driving a mid-price range car would be a multi-billionaire? Not much room to move in your thinking, you might need to dial your assumptions back exponentially.

        Or a Tesla maybe? You've never seen pictures of Elon Musk presumably. How about Richard Branson, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Rhinehart, Forrest…….

        I don't know whether they'd buy products like these but for the majority of Australians it makes a lot of sense to purchase and wear UV protected, full-brimmed hats when oiutdoors - for pretty obvious reasons.
