Liam Neeson: Rape, Revenge, and Race Relations

[bennyboy]

Okay, benny.

LMFAO....Let's just pretend that it hasn't been YOU who's spent this entire thread suggesting a "slippery slope" in which people FREELY calling out others in response to FREELY spoken horseshit is surely laying the groundwork Uncle Sam to storm in and deprive everyone of their constitutional rights and that you haven't been attempting to compel so-called PC SJWs to shut up for the sake of democracy.

...All while knowing goddamned well that you actually want is the freedom to offend without being offended.

Well sorry, Charlie, but you can't have that.

I don't get the Charlie reference. Is it insulting?

That I think SJWs are screechy nitwits, and would like them to stfu and listen to reason, is not the same thing as wanting them silenced.  The only consequence I have in mind for them is to tell  them what I think of their hysterical posturing.  The consequence they have in mind is often the loss of a position or the permanent destruction of someone's reputation. It's mob rule, and it's ugly.

Understand the difference, here, because it's an important one.  It is my position that extremists on both wings, being the loudest, dominate the airspace, making rational conversation impossible.  I'd like the more rational leftists and rightists to dominate the air space.  I'd give Shell, for example, as an example of a person who will tolerate contrary positions, express her own concisely and (mostly) without insult, and will get listened to; with her quieter words, she has 1000x more chance of swaying my views on things than you do.

I'd categorize yours as being so excessively hostile and screechy that it's unlikely ever to persuade.

I'd categorize many of my own posts as being hostile, as well, because people don't like words like "screechy," and obviously I know that.  However, I consider myself left of center, and I think the hysterical left have damaged the brand so goddamned badly that they've spawned the orange-haired antichrist.

Seriously, if the goal of any particular subset of society had it as their goal to guarantee that the Dems never win an election again, it's the PC left.

Let's please not pretend that there aren't a SJWs who are screaming fucking lunatics for no good reason.

Could you rephrase this?  I don't exactly understand what you're saying.  Are you saying that people end up shouting because of justifiable outrage?

If so, like in the case of black people who are enraged when another cop kills another black kid, I wouldn't categorize them as SJWs at all.
