Couldn't tell you how, just know that smearing shit with more shit doesn't clean up the mess.
Quote:You're right I didn't google search it I got it straight from the horse's mouth.I think you might want to explore why the people who abandoned her did so, rather than her own version of events.
Yep she's such a greedy alt-right monster.
Quote:Are you really acting* so dense as to not know how bigots act?I'm just trying to find out what specifically about how bigots act you're referring to. If it amounts to "I think that sjws are acting like assholes"....well, I'm sure that's got to be true at least some of the time..but I don't know why it would be a useful criticism of sjws, or a reason to liken them to any bigot they oppose. Oppose bigotry, but be nice about it? So..yeah, clarification is required..because your comments in that regard might be meaningful but they might also be a bit ridiculous.
*because I know you do
Quote:A bit old but came to mind first;Pulling a fire alarm? That was pretty clever. Illegal too. Do you equate radical feminism with sjw culture?
Quote:If that doesn't match your criteria then this recent BBC interview (yes it's happening in the U.K. too) should be sufficient.Not really an issue of my criteria..trying to establish yours by the examples so we could have a substantive discussion. I find that I broadly agree with her on some points. Freedom of speech is not the freedom to speak wherever you want, and a student body does have a say in what their fees pay for. There's always some other place to go and be a bigot with their bigot buddies.
Quote:I've got a great one: Anita Sarkeesian, a proven liar and a needlessly divisive person. Anyone remember the shitstorm that was Gamergate? A right mess on both sides no doubt, but she was the root of the problem because she couldn't be bothered enough to do actual research on the games she was talking about or even be honest about her interest in games. I don't want to hear that she isn't a big deal either, the woman spoke on TED Talks and with the UN to talk about how her bloody feelings were being hurt on the internet.So, again I have to ask..when you speak of sjws..are you thinking specifically or largely of feminists?
Quote:If she doesn't do it for you then feminist activist Big Red is another (albeit older) example.again with the feminists.
Quote:So is Melissa "I need some muscle over here" Click who censored a journalist at a protest at Mizzou.This is a good one. Breaks the pattern from before. Seems that some of the protesters took issue with being filmed. They wanted a safe space, he wanted a story. Personally, I side with the reporter on this one, though that's unsurprising. It begs the question...do you see the creation of or insistence for safe spaces as censorship in the general, or do you see this as a more specific and explicit example of censorship beyond the issue of safe spaces? What makes this sjw censorship? I sometimes suspect that "sjw culture" is a dumpster term. Help dispel that notion.
I could go on.
Quote:Do I really need to bring out the "we got a badass over here" meme? C'mon Khem.Awesome, then there's no need to waffle over subjectivity.
If I'm done talking or feel as if I'm in the wrong you'll hear it from me straight up, no back doors needed.
Quote:Fair enough if that's how you see it, honestly we just disagree on this so much I don't see the point of taking it further. (See I told you)Well, we don't have to agree on everything, right. My views on protest aren't the usual fare, and I know that. If it helps bring us back to something resembling concordance..while I'm openly supportive of methods of protest that others aren't..and even methods that are illegal or violent...I also support the punitive consequences for such acts. Pulled a fire alarm? Good job, now go to jail. Rushed the stage and assaulted a speaker? Okay, I hope you've got your mugshot face worked out. Toss a molotov? Expect to be shot.
Quote:But "distilling" me to "they're intolerant of their intolerance" was? Guess it works both ways.I asked, you told me it wasn't, now I'm trying to figure out what "acting like the bigots" amounts to.
Quote:Sadly that'd probably be the answer to continued "no platforming" and I'd rather it not come to that but again we disagree on this in a big way.It happens.
Quote:I'll take a rum thanks.Now it's a party!
