Trump did what everyone wanted. that's notable for a couple reasons:

Trump never gives in or admits he was wrong
he specifically called out the group that loves him the most

is it a pr stunt? of course, and he looked like a hostage having to go off of a teleprompter. but hey, he did it.

Honestly, I'm not 100% sure of Wang's view here.

I initially conceived it as protecting it against the prospect of outlawing hate speech. But the more it went on the less I think that's accurate. I mean, he can speak for himself, but since he has previously and we all seem a bit confused my current best take is that he thinks social pressure/shunning of an ideology causes it to strengthen because you haven't actually changed any minds, just forced them to hide it.

I think that's flawed on several levels (and not even internally consistent, albeit I feel like the standard I'm using there is almost impossible to pass) but that's the best I've got for what he's arguing. It's weird though because like my past arguments with him, I feel like we're stuck arguing some tangential point and it's like playing whack-a-mole where even if I advance on one point, the others pop back up like a hydra and I've really lost this metaphor that isn't even a metaphor it's a simile and blargh.

That's pretty much it. Full on "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." That includes Nazis, yes.

Corrik posted...
That it wasn't a white supremacy march but a Robert E Lee statue removal protest march.


Okay, planned to get into this later (that's three things now - Jackyl last topic, DYL this one, and what the March here was because it's a mess) but this is actually true for official record. The issue is who organized such a thing in the first place and that leads you to stormfront, aka, Nazis. It's a right answer on a technicality but not the actual cause. Similarly, if you go by Friday nights antics you can't say antifa threw the first punch here, they're the ones who beat the shit out of people standing by the statue. Would say your coworker is assuming this is like the other protests that have recently happened but he probably doesn't know the circumstances around this one, which make it a lot different. The more you look into it the more it's clear that yeah, this isn't a mistaken label.

StealThisSheen posted...
I mean, I don't wanna say this, but between Wang ALWAYS defending these people and refusing to ever condemn them or even really say they did wrong


1) I defend everyone.
2) I literally said all supremacists are immoral last topic. I've repeatedly agreed that the guy who did the crime is totally a terrorist and is a terrible act. Me saying that you're a monster if you're choosing to dehumanized people is a universal statement - it also applies to Nazis. Hence, me telling DYL that's becoming what you hate. That's an immoral position and wrong no matter who holds it. Does all this seriously need to be spelled out? How often?

StealThisSheen posted...
And a repeated sentiment has been "It's wrong to counter-protest these white supremacists." It's just... Weird.


Not wrong in like a moral sense, I don't think i've I said "wrong" in reference to this at all. I said it was stupid. That protesting this one specifically was stupid. A lot of the reasons you might argue for them needing to do it are exactly why too. It's entirely due to who made this, why, and what they wanted. If you know the way this rally started you know that protesting it is dumb and entirely unnecessary.

I think if we raise our children to understand why Nazism is outrageously fucked up, and shun anyone while they proclaim its tenets, and jail anyone who acts upon those tenets, we wouldn't be anywhere close to this.

Society must be intolerant of intolerance. And there's your paradox of tolerance.
[I]f a society istolerantwithout limit, their ability to be tolerant will eventually be seized or destroyed by the intolerant.

She heavily flirted around it to get anti-vaxxer votes, with things like "I think there are certainly questions surrounding mandatory vaccinations" and stuff. So while she never outright said she was anti-vaxx, and did later say she wasn't... She purposely kept it vague leading up to the election to try and get anti-vaxx votes. She basically refused to say she WASN'T anti-vaxx until after it didn't matter, while making comments that could be taken as anti-vaxx.

Why is the government required to host these people? I get why they can't censor their ideas on privately owned mediums but I don't think it would have been a violation of free speech if the city refused to allow this rally.

They want to have the rally at the local Hilton and Hilton wants to host them? Fine. But I think a city should be well within its rights not to host the rallies on city owned properly.

Oh. My replies were on 4. Well okay then.

Anyway, I'll cut ahead a bit and pose this question to you: Is speech that advocates an ideology that is intrinsically tied to violence something that should be protected?


This kind of gets back to two days ago with Jackyl (what I said I'd get back to - i don't think anyone noticed but my main had been warned since Saturday and I don't use my desktop for alts) but yes, I do.

You can tie together a lot of ideologies/belief systems to violence. Nazis are an easy one but religion can also be said to have been intrinsically tied to that. Going further, any belief tied to revolution will always inherently carry violence with it - anarchists and communism for example. None of those beliefs can really take root outside of violent actions. But they should all be protected.

And I don't think I need to clarify that I hate commies. They just have every right to speak their mind.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

The paradox states that if a society is tolerant without limit, their ability to be tolerant will eventually be seized or destroyed by the intolerant. Popper came to the seemingly paradoxical conclusion that in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must be intolerant of intolerance.
