You're comparing getting banned from an internet forum to being tried in a court of law? This post cannot possibly get any dumber.

Turn it up a bit more. Say, a known conservative Canadian politician makes a "Gas the Arabs" post on his/her social media platform and supports it with a cute video to piss off his girlfriend. How libertarian do you think these same posters here would be in their verdicts?

... It seems I was wrong, it can. Are you really incapable of distinguishing support for the content of a joke from the view that making a joke should not result in prosecution? Seriously? The posters you're referencing would be entirely consistent, in that they would all say that said known Canadian politician should not be arrested for his video.

This guy is a degenerate on so many levels that I have zero sympathy for what had happened to him.

And we've reached the zenith of blinding stupidity here, with the "this guy is bad, so I don't care if his rights were violated". Seriously, people like you, who only want basic rights to apply in the easy cases, are among the biggest threats to the rule of law.
