A Safe Space to Discuss Safe Spaces - Page 13 - Politics and Economics

Yeah. You posted two examples and a bunch of links.

The examples were dog ****. The links anyone bothered to read were dog ****.

Fwiw.

This article

https://www.insidehighered.com/news/...ort-professors

Has more detail on the case. It sounds like it wasn't well managed to be fair. The whole thing kicked off when a school superintendent banned her from teaching at kindergartens in the area (she teaches education to trainee teachers) and went from there.

Either way, this clearly isn't just PC run amock, censorship, professor banned for saying the f word or whatever you and your derposphere bloggers are presenting it as.

Just quote one of your posts where you have an actual example. And no. Links don't count.

I don't care, whatever. It's not my job to convince people on the internet. You're all entitled to your own opinions. Good day sirs

Why are these assclowns allowed out of their PU safespace? 20 pages of flat-out-lies, fabrications and a stubborn refusal to show an example of whatever it is they're worried about.

Is a university really the place to hash out whatever tired hate speech any random group of bigots wants to air? Or are some arguments so old, tired, and defeated that even giving them a platform is insulting to the very idea of academia?

KKK. Well I'm impressed you didn't invoke the Nazis, who are the usual suspects when liberals want to shout down conservative speech.

Refuses to try to convince people on the Internet. Unless it's to ask SERIOUS QUESTIONS about the holocaust. Sad!

I see we've reached this part of the thread, where someone admits being obsessed, but also claims they don't care.

The trope is the same with any ideology. I must silence the speaker of {gay marriage, drugs, religion} as we wouldn't allow someone to speak about{slavery, Nazis, gang rape} Because there must be some speech that can't be tolerated the liberal now has a blank check to stop any speech he doesn't want to hear.

It's good to discuss things outside PU. The lack of trolling and personal attacks is most refreshing.

Not giving someone airtime, facilities, free Press, an audience etc isn't silencing them. Ffs.

So now we're into "real or Onion, the meta version" and have to guess whether FnD understands the implications of linking Onion articles that agree with him on the surface.

That is because campus liberals try to disrupt and silence opposing views. Not to refute the argument with one of their own but to prevent it from being made. .

How do all of these things continue to exist n flourish?

Your thesis is that the PC brigade is ultra powerful, that they silence opposing views. I counter with the fact that none of this is true in any way, shape or form, and I have actual evidence from reality to back me up. Turns out that the SJW's have no such power. It's an awkward position to be in, no doubt. Best move for you is to delete your account, try again.

You know that rule how comedians never tell the truth when they talk about what happened to them?

This almost certainly applies when LCK does an interview and says the entire audience said he was racist for saying the word minorities in a completely benign context.

I have seen his act, pretty much everything he has done, a small number of people undoubtedly reacted to a different much shadier joke that he can't repeat in an interview and he altered the scenario to make his point clearer. Just like every single thing he says professionally, if it ever happened in any way.

You know you could end this discussion but putting an example in your next post right?

Like. An actual example of harm caused by safe spaces.

You won't do that though.
