Your new best friend magellan01!
I love eating baby back ribs, but I’m not too sure if I would like eating human baby back ribs.
Why do I have to eat the babies?
Can’t I at least make a profit too, and perhaps sell the body parts for maximum profit like planned parenthood does?
YES! Kill them, eat them, sell them! ENSLAVE THEM! HARNESS THEIR SOULS!
Anybody is welcome to come to his events and they can even ask him questions and give comments later on in the Q & A.
What happens most of the time though is that leftists are not interested in debate.
They are interested in shouting as loudly as they can, smearing red paint on their faces, pulling fire alarms and causing a disruption, doing everything that they can to get the event cancelled.
He has mentioned before that he is willing and wants to debate somebody who is on the opposite side, but nobody so far has come forth, which is not surprising to me.
Well some of them ARE denouncing these alt right douchebags. Does everyone on the right have to denounce them?
If the left doesn’t stand up and denounce left wing douchebags, does that mean they are one and the same?
Don’t get me wrong. The right tolerates a certain amount of racism. Its the faustian bargain they made to gain majorities in congress. But they are embarrassed by the alt right AFAICT.
Troll harder! You’ve almost got him.
Heh.
I wouldn’t discount it, in that if it came out that was the case, I would not be surprised, but I wouldn’t make that assumption without a bit more evidence.
Now, that these agitators were not part of the student population that was participating in the protest does seem to have quite a bit of evidence behind it, so, blaming the students for the violence is not exactly fair there.
We are talking about the non-violent tactics presented in the post you were responding to, right?
Then yes, if there are enough non-violent protestors, in person or online that a speaker decides that their message would not be well received and decides to cancel, or even if a university realizes through the peaceful protest that the speaker would be more across the line into inflammatory territory than simply controversial, it does not matter if I agree with the speaker or the protestors, that’s how speech works.
Freedom of speech does not mean that you have a right to demand a platform upon which to speak.
You realize that BigT was talking about violence in the past that has been used for “noble” purpose. He did indicate that it is possible that such things are possible to be needed in the future, maybe even near future, and I hope that he is wrong.
Violence was used in the american revolution, the civil war, civil rights movements, unionizing movements, and many other examples of wars or violent protests that caused society to advance towards a more perfect state of freedom for its people. Not that it is a good thing, or a thing to be lauded or a thing to be striven for in any way, but sometimes, you really are down to your last resort. At this time in history, the effect of violence will almost certainly be worse than anything that you might be violent about, so I will agree that violence is not justified in any of the activities happening these days, but to just dismiss violence as never having a place is naive.
Remember, oppression is peaceful. Those who disturb that peace are labeled troublemakers at the time, but are often regarded as heroes against oppression at a later date.
The dictionary has definitions for these words.
The left may be applying these terms too loosely (and sometimes just in an effort to shut down debate) but racism is a real thing.
AFAICT, Milo falls into that category of gay men who are extremely sexist. I thought this was just gay men of my generation but apparently there is still a lot of sexism among gay men (as there probably is among lesbian women).
No, because I (and others) DENOUNCE violent unlawful anarchists. We don’t cheer them on.
I’m really not getting that impression, when recognized groups (Republican campus group) are inviting alt-right trolls to speak on their campus.
I’m not getting the impression that the Republicans in congress are embarrassed by Bannon. They are lining up to kiss his ring.
Campus democrats just burn property and assault people.
And who are you to dictate to others whom they can invite? Such arrogance! You probably have 0 problem with professors with odious and hateful left wing endorsed speech being employed by the same universities. Damn bubble dwelling hypocrites.
Noone is saying the universities are obligated. It’s unlike you to be this intellectually dishonest. Usually you argue from a position of integrity.
Huh, apparently I did college wrong.
Cite that the violent offenders in this instance were campus Democrats?
So stating opinions is now dictating?
That’s specifically what we were discussing in this exchange. That is specifically the topic I was asking about.
Who is saying the university is obligated to invite? That’s completely irrelevant.
That can be read and interpreted to mean that this is all (aka solely) what they do.
Do you stand by that statement, or will you walk it back because its such an easily provable an Alt-Truth? :dubious:
