Doesn't look too bad actually, specifically calling out a crossed out swastika as being allowed (afaik in Germany this example was used to disperse antifascist rallies)

Either way though, the solution can only come from the working class.

i actually don't support these laws because they historically always just get used against the left and never against the right. fascism isn't defeated by the government banning it, it's defeated on the street. Also from a long time back, one of the proposed amendments to this bill was the following text (i dont know if it was in the final bill)

all other extremist groups which seek to promote fascism, communism, anarchism, bigotry and violence in our community

we also know that in places like germany where nazi symbols are banned they just invent new more obscure ones anyway

Maybe times have changed but when I was in school a decade ago they would just say I don't care and punish you for not doing your work lol, they can absolutely make you use it by virtue of being in charge

Only the front doors have a manual release. So what will your child in the back seat do in the situation of a crash, and the battery is compromised causing a loss of power and threat of combustion?

To be fair doping is literally cheating and causing further damage to already exploited athletes, where as being trans just makes you cool as hell

A school can absolutely force you to use software?

Did they fix the fact you can't open the door from the inside if the power is out without an instruction manual and fingernails?

potential justification of ban follows

spoilerthis is probably the worst part, like i guess there can be some argument made about fairness for trans women (eg. the usual reason men are better at chess is that they are taught from younger ages, so a woman transitioning later in life could have an advantage that isn't erased by transition). but removing trans mens titles shows its purely coming from a place of transphobia rather than actually caring about womens sport >:(

its all bullshit though because there is fuck all trans players and afaik they aren't winning tournaments. and also the 'advantage' that trans women have is likely cancelled out by being trans, and theres nothing stopping people from coaching cis women from a young age.

 

Really sad to see as someone just getting into chess :(
