Attacking democracy and freedom of speech? What do the advocates of Bombica (comment) really advocate
Let’s take a paradox of tolerance to help.
Daniel Bombic will be prosecuted behind bars. Immediately after the verdict, the launch was launched on how the freedom of speech was limited and how democracy ended in Slovakia, and there is already talk of political processes and prisoners of conscience.
But none of this is true. This is how healthy democracy looks. It has the right to defend himself – especially against those who violate the rules, and even more towards those who violate the rules in order to destroy the democracy itself.
Bombic extremist will be prosecuted custody, the Supreme Court ruled Read
Already sociologist and philosopher Karl Popper formulated a paradox of tolerance: If we are not ready to defend the tolerant society against the attacks of intolerant and offer them our unlimited tolerance, as tolerant we will be destroyed and tolerance with us.
In the case of Bombica, the Voltaer’s paraphrase does not also pay « I do not agree with your opinion, but I would give my life to say it freely ». Bombic does not spread opinions, he spreads hatred.
Anyone who repeatedly violates the rules and there is a reasonable suspicion that he is committing crimes simply belongs to custody. In addition, Bombic was explicitly caring for the custody. Even between the court of first instance and today’s hearing, he continued to spread hatred, although the court had only warned him three months ago.
The verdict that Bombic will be prosecuted in custody is not yet a statement about his guilt or innocence. This is still decided by the court in the future. However, we have all had the opportunity to watch the right -handed Sieg Heil shouting, as it is photographed in front of the swastika, how it publishes the personal data of different people and prevails it to Lynč to his crowd of supporters, and unfortunately how it is exposed to public.
It will be good to watch who will be able to defend Daniel Bombic. Two weeks ago, except for the conspiracy scene and people like Peter Tóth and Ľuboš Blaha He also made the Government Office.
It is offensive, but unfortunately not surprising. The Government Office became the center of people for whom Bombic is a model.
David Lindtner defended him before the court Robert Fico becomes at press conferences and today as a member of the Council Stables prevents the media from accessing information. Juraj Gedra, who is attacking NGOs, leads the office of the Office for corruption.
Support Bombica draws a line in the company, who appreciates the rules and tolerance and who wants to destroy them, on the contrary. Those who stand out at Bombic’s defense will not defend the freedom of speech and democracy, but neo -Nazism, violations of laws and violence.
