    Other Freedom of Speech and So Called “Hate Speech”

    Multiple people in this thread including site staff have laid out pretty clear explanations of what free speech actually is. It isn't what you seem to think it is based on the following paragraph. Just sayin'. What exactly is the "table of public forum discussions"? I mean if there is an...

    Deal Breakers. What makes you "walk" away?

    "Start at level mook." I play RPGs to get away from boring sucky failstate real life. That means I would like to actually get to use the superpowers this game is supposed to involve. I want to play fantasy adventure or whatever I was promised, not Mortals the Dysentery-ing.

    Other Freedom of Speech and So Called “Hate Speech”

    This is all very right and proper. So given this, it is improper to make a claim that "Antifa has commited more violence than Nazi's" Since, well, we don't actually know that.

    It doesn't disagree with XKCD. In fact, what you cited agrees with what I already said: Congress has done nothing to Milo at all, AFAIK.

    Viewpoint Do you ever play the opposite gender? Do you prefer it?

    I don't think that male and female are opposites. And i'm pretty skeptical of the gender binary since neither psych nor biology really supports it. I do play female characters most often, but that's because I feel that our society's default-to-male norms give more opportunity for interesting...

    Other Freedom of Speech and So Called “Hate Speech”

    What this post demonstrates is that you don't understand what Free Speech *is*. Look, I know i maybe rubbed you the wrong way. So fine, don't listen to me. Listen to this guy. No one has denied Milo his right of free speech at any point. No one has discriminated against him for his...

    Other Freedom of Speech and So Called “Hate Speech”

    No one said that people who commit assault shouldn't be prosecuted, AFAICT. For that matter, no one called for Milo to be actively subject to punishment. All that was said is that his actions have had consequences. And that he doesn't have a "right" to avoid the consequences of his speech.

    Other Freedom of Speech and So Called “Hate Speech”

    Look, for me to accept the claim that A > B kinda requires that I have a value for A and B so that I can see that A is in fact actually larger than B. You know, like say Antifa caused 400 violent incidents and Nazis only caused 300 in 2017. That sort of numbers. I wasn't aware that Milo was...

    Other Freedom of Speech and So Called “Hate Speech”

    So, just like most human beings? Everyone thinks that they are the good guys and the people who disagree are the bad guys. Still waiting for the numbers on this. A claim of this sort kinda needs numbers. I have made substative points. where are yours? You can't even stick to the basic...

    Other Freedom of Speech and So Called “Hate Speech”

    Okay, so what is your point then? The DePaul administration is not in charge of dealing with protestors getting violent. That is the police's job. That they gave Milo a platform as all was pure generosity on their part. This is not a "speech" issue Many universities refuse to give Milo a...

    Other Freedom of Speech and So Called “Hate Speech”

    Milo wasn't disinvited from venues and removed from platforms for being gay. He was kicked out for being an asshole. Kicking someone out because they are an unapologetic asshole who makes life miserable for other people is not illegal. That isn't criticism. Let me demonstrate: This is actual...

    Other Freedom of Speech and So Called “Hate Speech”

    I didn't criticize you for "not using google." I pointed out that the existence of far more than "500" nazis in America was easily check-able. Also, none of these links actually provide numbers (or anything else) to back your claim that "Antifa is more violent than the Nazis" The snopes...

    Other Freedom of Speech and So Called “Hate Speech”

    We already have a word for that. The word is racism. It'd be pretty redundant for white supremacy to simply mean that. If you want to go into the actual historically origins of the term, I'll think you'll find that "white Supremacy" as a concept goes a bit beyond racist belief, and into...

    Other What do you think of Ben shapiro?

    Who exactly is "spawning mistrust" here? I mean, someone talks about their personal experiences, and you immediately say "I don't believe you." Like did you have your sense of irony surgically removed? Also, hearsay is "I heard someone else say..." What you quoted is personal testimony...
