When thousands of Iraqis take to the streets for this sentiment, even though they can be identified for later attack by the minority fascists, it's huge news. Now that there is evidence of assassination lists by the fascists, that danger is extremely real.
The previous protest was smaller; the next one will be larger; they are all extremely meaningful, as evidence of the continuing approach of rule of law and an understanding of how freedom of speech actually operates. All of which are excellent signs of Democratization.
The only question is why being against this sort of thing is suddenly a leftist take. Last I looked, the left was against fascism. And assassination, and torture, and minority rule. Those are supposed to be bad things. Remember?
And I haven't read LGF in weeks.
