      Having Lauren Southern on a list of "alt right/hate group bitcoin recipients" on SPL makes me glad that bitcoin exists and happy that it is enabling the free speech of those we don't agree with, even if it consequently enables actual racists. Also I find it hard to trust subjects like this from an organization that was successfully sued this year for labeling an anti-islam extremist organization as an anti-muslim group.

          She was banned from the UK for spreading materials that claimed "Allah is a gay god", something that as an American I find appalling. Could you imagine if we banned someone from the USA for spreading material claiming "Jesus is a gay savior"?

          Also I saw the video's related to the Mediterranean incident, and while I don't agree at all with her or the identity group that sponsored it, I saw no effort at all to "sink migrant boats". Lauren Southern was in a boat that was literally 20 times smaller than the boat containing the migrants and the flair set off was never "fired" at the boat at all . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vdq7g4MOvoc I think it was a stupid and dangerous activist stunt, but the reporting on it is very hyperbolic.

          It should also be noted that Italy has recently turned away the same boat in this video, with the migrants on board.
