Step outside your own shoes for a minute, and look at it from the perspective the other side.
The government is not only supporting white supremacy groups by allowing permits for this kind of thing on a public front, but they are protecting them as well.
On an individual level sure people have the freedoms to choose what they are going to believe about certain things, they even have the freedom to speak it aloud, and no they won't get arrested, because *laughs* America is the "land of the free" (although I have to laugh at that concept these days) but there's a difference imo between what an individual chooses to believe & speak about, and what a government chooses to publicly support. If permits need to be acquired to gather, its not as "free" as one may think. |
There is absolutely no difference.
I do not know the laws in canada but here in the US as long as we get the appropriate permits we have the freedom to gather and protest regardless of creed, religion, or background. That is why we are a free country.
If I wanted to get a soapbox and go to a park and preach about the apocolypse and the coming armegeddon i could. I might need to be sure I had the correct permits to do so but I could.
just because we allow gatherings does not mean we condone it. That is a huge fallacy you have going on there.
That is like me saying, "hey sin you help run a porn website so you must condone child porn." I know you do not but its all the same ballpark.
