A free and just society is not rendered hypocritical and without moral foundation by outlawing hate. The whole point of justice is the elimination and active combating of injustice.

Punching nazis and attacking their rallies was extremely effective imo. It sent them into a year-long tailspin screaming "ANTIFA" at everything and everyone and declaring it a terrorist organization and so on. Think about how much energy these chuds wasted trying to discredit the antifa "brand" that could have been devoted to assaulting minorities

Deplatforming Nazis has also been very effective, where it's been done. By cutting them off from the mainstream, they're forced to only interact with each other and they can't stand each other so infighting quickly ensues. Normal people's curiosity and desire to try and convince them they're wrong gives them energy and momentum

Also why am I not surprised that the Reddit defender is also a Nazi speech defender

There's lot of distinctions without a difference in the "alt-right" crowd, basically used to say "well I'm not an <x>, therefore your argument doesn't apply to me" and then go on to espouse some variety of racial or ethnic hatred. Words and labels are important but a lot of it comes down to trying to legitimize extremist views by not being a literal Nazi, just co-opting enough of their rhetoric or ideology as to make no difference.

If you're standing around doing nothing while someone else is spreading a hateful message, I might wonder what's in your head.

I didn't mean to say that it is or isn't wise or ethical to shut down certain types of speech, just that that's the debate to be having in this case. If someone wants to make the case that people shouldn't try to stop Peterson from talking, it requires an argument other than "but his free speech rights", because it has nothing to do with his rights.

Personally I think these issues are pretty interesting and there aren't a lot of easy lines to be drawn, but I'm totally fine with people protesting or shouting down a worthless rear end in a top hat like Peterson because I think his views are repulsive and harmful. He has (and should have) the legal right to express his views, but the rest of us have the right to tell him to gently caress off.

Yes, hence you "defended" Reddit. I'm not particularly concerned about the particulars of that defence, because the truth is that it's a hellhole populated by libertarians, pedophiles and libertarian pedophiles. The merits of any specific argument that occurs there are unimportant.

I like sharing and ice cream and animals.
I went to read the rules you guys are bickering about. They don't seem so much like new rules, but rather advice on how to conform with existing rules.

I'm happy that JP got shouted down and I'm happy the school didn't enforce their rules to stop the protesters with air horns. But come on, use your loving brains. If I walk into the anime club and blast my air horn so they can't hear Ghost in the Shell, they will call campus security and get me kicked out. Blasting an air horn to disrupt campus meetings is already against the rules. Obviously. It's not protected free speech. Go blast an air horn next to a cop's head and see how far the free speech defense gets you.

Good on McMaster for letting these protesters break the rules in this case. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy.

Please point out where I've used Peterson's name except to insult him, much less defended anything he's said. If I wanted to listen to people pretend to be experts on topics they know nothing about, I'd go downtown and have Pitbull tell me about the merits of real estate and Bitcoin.

You're way too naive.

And there isn't a difference between white nationalists and white supremacists. They're just trying to say they're the former and not the latter because the latter has negative connotations. These fuckers will just change terminology every now and then once the old one is considered too tainted to stick by. Sure, there might be some people too naive to realize that white nationalism is just a cover for white supremacy but they're happy to call themselves a white nationalist, then they chose that path for themselves.
