This is a wonderfully tolerant and respectful attitude to have towards others and their views. On the whole, I think we were moving in the direction of this kind of healthy attitude for most of the last 50-60 years, and only recently have we started regressing.

Everyone here seems to agree on these points, and I think that's wonderful. There is a mass ideological indoctrination process going on in universities right now which is completely opposed to free speech. They *say* they support free speech, but in reality its only if they get to decided what is allowed to be said.

This is why so many people are being de-platformed. Currently, its being done by liberals. But imagine if conservatives did it, too. Imagine if liberal speakers were simply not allowed to speak in conservative areas.

I'm suspicious of this characterization. There is a violent semi-organized group called antifa that just loves violent action. They thrive on it.

Consider the violent gangs in some cities which convert black youth to develop a taste and love for violence. The antifa do something similar to middle class kids, mostly white youth. The goals are different, but some parts of the dynamic are the same.

Yes, Spencer often says horrible, deeply offensive things. But that's only one part of the equation regarding this violence. Responsibility for the violence does not rest at Spencer's feet, and we shouldn't ignore the culture of violence at work with the antifa.

This happened how it should have happened.

1. Some fringe douche-bag with awful views was still allowed to speak.

2. The violent antifa cowards were de-masked, preventing them from destroying property and attacking innocent people with M-80s, attempting murder w/ bike locks, strewing trash in the street setting things on fire.

3. The larger community of non-violent non-racist people made it known that they all think Spencer is a douche-bag with awful views.




The "alt right" doesn't even mean anything any more. We must be very careful when someone in the media uses that label. *Initially* it referred to a specific group of actual racists. Recently, many people have used the label for...anyone they want. Anyone they disagree with. Anyone they want to dishonestly smear as being racist.

Many people who are unfamiliar with its origins have seen these conversations and said "Wait, the 'alt right' people sound like the good guys here, the honest people, the free speech people - I think I'm an alt-righter!" and those folks have nothing to do with white supremacy. The label means nothing these days. We must ask: "Why are they using the label? What is their goal in doing so? Are they being consistent and accurate?"




F him.



BOTH! Everyone can be both. Portions of the left are trying to convince people we must be *against* free speech, otherwise we are all racist nazis. Its stupid. It won't end well for us.



The man himself probably isn't worth your time, at this point. The drama surrounding him is worth analyzing, but that's all created by the left.

Fools on the left are unaware of the free speech analog of the Streisand effect, and they are making this d-bag more powerful by trying to silence him.

But, Obama did it. And the liberal media praised it. So, it must be good. /s

Exactly.

As a result of obama care, the cost of my previous health insurance plan went up something like 20%. I was no longer able to afford that level of health insurance, and had to switch to a lower level of health care. thanks, obama

In the long run, programs like obama care are likely to increase the cost of medicine.

While I don't want them bringing their violent ideology into more civilized nations, I don't support this idea of being casual about them killing themselves 'over there'. There are not all violent, and there are many innocent muslim victims over there.

Eventually I hope that we will be able to convert them to a more humane worldview. But we need to face the reality that islamic ideology encourages violence.

"We don't have a provision in state law that allows either county elections officials or the Secretary of State's office to verify someone's citizenship."

In that case, it follows naturally that there would be widespread voter fraud.

I think he means: Joules are a definite measurement of something real. We know this, because we can measure it. Predictably and consistently.

But "energy" is a word used to reference "that which is being measured", and there might be some difficulty for some of us to get what they *really* means. When we try to relate the word 'energy' to our personal models for understanding the universe, when we try to explain 'energy' to ourselves, we might make some mistakes - but if we look at Joules as a measurement of energy we put our eye back on the ball.




Wouldn't that would make those materials the battery?

This is real?





The hypocrisy of many leftists in this area is astounding.




I'm not a Trump supporter, but I do enjoy watching him prove his detractors wrong. Time. After. Time.




There is something deeply wrong with the culture of liberals today. They worship victim-hood, think that feelings trump facts, that narratives trump reality. They actively encourage delusion in each other. This can't end well.

It's quite possible that this is a false flag, and the person who made the card wasn't even a republican. Like the Black Lies Matter activist who posted her own 'hate speech' against her own group, in order to manipulate the sheep-like leftist students into supporting her Black Lies Matter marches and such.


" The group didn’t identify the member who placed the card in the bag. "

Until they prove that it was in fact a member, this is speculation.

You seem to have given this matter some careful thought, and you seem knowledgeable in the bio-mechanics of buttocks and the logistics of viewing vaginas up skirts during cartwheels.



Well done, I believe you've done exactly that.

Leftists protesters in recent years have definitely gone to far. Many in the Black Lies Matter Movement even make the argument that we need to have respect for "black pain" and humble ourselves before the "black experience" when they destroy a CVS or beat up innocent white people for being white.

This kind of thinking only leads to more violence. This is an endorsement not only of criminal behavior, but also the denial of responsibility which breeds more criminal behavior.





Absolutely. Fortunately more people on the left are starting to understand this. There is a schism starting on the left - those who care about facts/evidence, free speech, and non-violence are washing their hands of the leftists who think that 'hate speech' is a real thing and deserving a violent response.

You might be interested in Dave Rubin, if you've not already seen his videos.




Yes, yes and yes.

We should also do similar things when they block freeways. Freeways should absolutely be off limits to a so called 'protest'. Blocking freeways endanger people's lives.

Pretty sure you can get an emulator for that and run it on an Android phone. And also get a case which has the controls built into it for the full retro experience.

This is what many of our universities are producing, today. Its especially bad in the women's studies and black studies departments. Students are taught that facts are irrelevant, all that matters are their own feelings - and that coddling them and their feelings is paramount.

Christina Hoff Summers is an older feminist, from the days before feminism turned itself into a joke. When she came to speak at a unversity these wilting flowers set up a "safe space" with children's toys and a therapy dog. For adult (20 year old) students at the school.

All because hearing the opinions of a *different brand of feminism* was presumed to be too traumatic for them.
