Muslim, Christian or Jew…keep that nonsense out of public decision making. Piss it off.

I suspect there are some big name Hollywood figures amongst all that. Peter Jackson made the list.

There are some there i've never seen, i'll have to see if i can download buy them.
I know that just about all of Troma's titles are available for a small charge, direct from Troma.

Democracy without boundaries isn't democracy, it's anarchy.

We'll head that way if we're not careful, 'without boundaries' is a consequence of 'no consequence' liberalism. < By that I mean there is no deterrent / discipline for ill doing.

ANY societal model MUST have law and order or social elements if you will, otherwise .............

People always form groups.
Our political system is based on a heap of individual representatives, but in practice they form a couple of big groups.
In an anarchy, there will still be groups. It would just digress so that we are run by warlords or gang leaders or something, mini-dictators. You probably won't be left to be "free". No-one is totally free ,and you can only approach it if your rulers allow freedom.

Hence the plot of walking-dead.

Hmmph.. It doesn't even have "outback vampires" on its list .

That is an interesting question. The Middle East as a whole seems a horrorshow of inequality. Islam, both Sunni and Shia, needs a reformation and a need to come to terms with the secular world.

The problem isn't Islam, the problem is radicalization and jihadism.

You don’t think the apartheid regime of genocidal Zionists are part of the problem?

Also a form of radicalisation.

Seems to be an issue especially where the government backs anything done in the name of whichever god.

Yes, exactly. Extremism. The kind where there is no co-existence, only either adherents or infidels.

Yeah, they're very hit-and-miss unfortunately.

And that is what I mean. Non-homophobes moving into Cumberland shire would skew voting habits and hence much less chance of anti-human rights candidates holding office.

Ideally ALL anti-human rights campaigners would be barred from all forms of political expression but babysteps I guess.

I think you'd find your average voter wouldn't have a clue about the politics of the local council candidates

News kid turning his focus on local councils just as all this is breaking was a neat bit of fortune.

Yes they are another problem....the world is full of problems.

IN fact Gaza/Israel isnt even that significant on my radar....the 6 million+ people and counting who have been killed in the Congo concerns me much more....why...because in the west we don't hear about it.

What is everyones take on this blockout2024 ?

Seems very weird to cancel a celebrity for not commenting on a geopolitical issue they dont want to.

Or should everyone be calling for a ceasefire in Gaza ?

the bigger issue is there are people on that list who have called for a ceasefire

there is no control over the list

its a list of people being blocked without any though because someone told them to block those people

From that link:

"The Met Gala was a bit of a hyperbolic moment that got a lot of people's attention," Marcus Collins, an assistant professor of marketing at the University of Michigan, told NPR of the digital campaigns. "The celebrity boycotts had existed, but they weren't really at the top of the social zeitgeist. But then you have a moment like the Met Gala that wasn't really related to the conflict, but the pieces were all at play. When the attacks [in Gaza] were happening the same day, the juxtaposition just got people talking and moving."

that's the bit im not sure on.

Are they blanket blocking wealthy influencers or is it to do with Gaza.

there are multiple influencers creating their own lists of people to block and putting the tag on it

its devolving into McCarthyism if it hasn't already

you want to talk about cancel culture, the US working to ban a platform they don't have control over...

Australia already ban a lot of web sites.
Mind you , i suspect most of them SHOULD be banned.
Of course there are ways people can get around that ( VPN's and the like ), but it would still deter the mainstream public.
