You cheer for censorship when it aligns with your beliefs. Yet call the slippery slope a "fallacy."

See what happens?

This really is a big part of it. A lot of Democrats weren't upset about authoritarianism & fascism, they were upset it wasn't their version.

Just because your argument is fallacious doesn't mean the conclusion is wrong.

"Black people are hot therefore they should be treated equally" is an example that I can immediately come up with.

Sorry what

It was bad enough when Boris made protests illegal (did that ever go through) but this? This is disgusting.

How can Labour just do own goals day after day I do not know. At this point they’re just a continuation of the sad fucking state of Tory cabinets. From A team to B to D (was Rishi D? ) to fucking a big capital F with Starmer. I had such high hopes for them in the first week. Such lofty promises. But they’ve consistently let me down on an actual weekly basis.

It’s incredible really.

(I’ve now read the article) Ah ok it’s an actual activist group not just a blanket law applied to everyone….

Still…

It has been red tory v. blue tory since Blair took leadership in '93/'94.

It is more of less the same as the US (where it was red v blue republicans for a few decades and is now Republicans calling themselves 'Democrats' v. Christian Nationalist Fascists).

It is the natural continuation of Reaganite/Thatcherite neo-liberal capitalist ideology.

The outcome for the UK will be a lurch right as the poor vote for parties (Reform) who have used the immigration that has caused serious legitimate problems for poor communities that simply can't afford to support them, and other cultural issues of various import they have been coerced into finding important, as wedge issues.

Edit - obviously this lurch to the right is the opposite of what should happen but here we go. It is what fossil-fuel powered capitalists prefer to socialism and an egalitarian society any day.
