French magazine torched.

[Anarchrusty]

A French weekly dedicated a racist article to the continued mocking of muslims, and opponents decided to not take it anymore and took a nonplatform stance:

First link doesn't work.
What exactly did this French magazine write?

[Anarchrusty]

They are ridiculing muslims.

Thanks to the efforts of Nato, we have now put in power groups that totally oppose Western values and culture

Now suddenly they'll admit that what they did is wrong. Why is it that the West has 20:20 hindsight but is blind as a bat before making the same mistake?

Maybe it's their philosophy/spirituality. They can be forgiven for making the same mistake over and over and over again.

That was really really stupid to burn the paper to the ground, all they did was stop a cartoon from being printed and now anti-muslim politicians in France will use it as prove that muslims are all violent, and will pass even more restritive laws.

"Nonplatform" being a euphemism for what amounts to non-state censorship.

I'd really like to see what exactly did this paper write.

I found exactly what was posted in that magazine:
"A 100 whip lashes if you don't die of laughter"

Just who exactly is this "fash" you're talking about?

Guess you can't see the vid. Anyway, there's a guy in there, presumably a writer for the magazine that is almost in tears about how they cannot print any racist literature anymore. Boo fucking hoo, right?

Racist =/= fascist. The guy actually seems to be appealing to liberal values of freedom of expression if anything.

Don't post it here, they are going to burn Revleft to the ground now!

You missed that those papers are making fun of every religion.
