The initial court had ruled that her views were "not worthy of respect in a democratic society".
These lunatics are going to destroy everything.
At the rate things are going, people are just going to start saying in larger and larger numbers that, you know, we don't want "democracy," it's not worth it. We don't want "equality" or "diversity." We don't want "tolerance."
These people pervert everything, tainting concepts that are good in theory. I think the pendulum is swinging...and I wonder how far it will swing this time.
I always have to argue with people here who say that democracy is bad, because they presuppose that the garbage that we have now is 'democracy'. I've never heard a satisfactory answer about whether they think people really support grooming and endless wars. I have a running semi-bet with dekachin, who believes the US is a democracy (and that democracy is a good thing): he thinks that new Ukraine aid will not pass unless Republicans get concessions, I think it will sail through.
True democracy would be pretty great. Unfortunately, the modern West is just a bunch of oligarchies that use the word as a legitimation mechanism for their power. As far as I can see, government action and the popular will are even less aligned than in supposedly 'authoritarian' states.

"Democracy" to the regime means running over old women with horses and censoring any view they disagree with.

As long as there's a reasonable way for people to opt out/leave if the majority becomes too tyrannical for them.
