This is a great working definition for ‘hate speech.’ And it is clear enough to be an enforceable law. But when we go to enforce this law, it looks to...
It’s a great question. I think it gets to the heart of what is wrong with hate speech legislation. The important issue here is not the victims of hate...
For sure about that? Like Descartes for sure with certainty sure? Sure about what a dictator is, for some reason? Trump is clearly a dictator wannabe....
Dead serious. What is funny is that the same people who can’t see what wokeness is, somehow see with absolute clarity that Kirk was racist. Or Trump i...
I see where you are coming from about my tone. But it’s not resentment. It’s frustration. It’s tiresome convincing people that I don’t like Hitler, or...
Ok, my bad. I skimmed that part and must have missed it that you are glad we agree. I’m glad too. But all speech is not political speech. When Hitler ...
Yes, and this unwittingly puts the identity category, the ideology, first and foremost, before the individual. For example, one sees discrimination ba...
Then why did you ask me if I think Hitler was a bad guy? Is it because I’m a conservative republican - is that why you needed me to confess my true fe...
So because I am a conservative we have to clear up my relationship to Hitler. You precisely exemplify my point to @"Joshs" just above. To answer your ...
Not so much bombarded with views. Bombarded with condemnation maybe. It’s more annoying or tiresome than abhorrent. I’m from Philly, currently in the ...
Solidarity on Election Day once every four years (towing the Dem party/media line like the morally superior sheep we are told to be) but what about th...
That is “newspeak” for “we want smart people telling the masses who we should hate.” Anyone who supports more speech, not less, would quickly see ther...
Thanks. Love it. Is there such a thing as Love speech? I am always curious why he bothers with these non-responsive responses. I think he hates me. Ma...
I was actually going to mention loud speech, but then, that is a physical assault has nothing to do with the content of the speech. I’m glad you under...
I don’t know what that means. All kinds of speech is regulated - fraud, conspiracy, libel, slander, incitement. But if in a political context, and the...
The capacity of speech to injure, or the capacity of speech to lead to injury? How can speech injure? In a political context, like on the Senate floor...
Sheep are all over the place for sure. The point was about the media. The shepherd. The media (when they don’t cave) will always cheerlead for the Dem...
No. I’m talking about people and the media not understanding how bad it is to see a guy shot for having a discussion. Probably not something to treat ...
Yes of course. To promote good and prevent or redress badness. But we look to the government to tell us what the law is, not what morality is. Wait, s...
I don’t know what you are getting at. We don’t need laws telling us what is good or bad. We need discussions and communities deciding what is good and...
What is happening now is, the tyranny supported by the liberal media for 40 years is being challenged. But this is no new threat to democracy. This is...
:up: Defenders of the notion of “hate speech” are also the best defenders of notions like “gender is a social construct”. Pick a lane. If something so...
What amazes me is how precise and rigorous many of us are when it comes to using terms like “knowledge” or “certainty” or “being” or “becoming” or “es...
That seems accurate. But so does this: I agree with Leon, but then, because of the possibility of error, what is happening when we think we know somet...
Maybe, but I asked if it was woke to argue these things? My point is that it might be procedurally woke to argue power, equity, identity. But it’s not...
That’s really helpful. I would say two things about this: 1. What it says, in itself, reflects woke methodology. Interpreting events in a particular, ...
You’re right. It’s more like Rousseau. Went mainstream in the 1960s. Institutionalized by 2000s. You sound like you could say what woke is. Weird. Why...
Tried what? Do you mean, are people who voted for Trump against woke ideology (generally speaking of course)? Or is this still the question: No, it’s ...
Yes. Unmoored is the post-enlightenment state of affairs. And it is self-defeating: in the name of freedom, this unmooring makes us unable to be free,...
Maybe not “certainties”? So “proof” is aspirational, or ideal. But the metaphysic outlined - namely, proof sites within epistemic practice, and so pro...
That is an interesting question because I believe it is frequently how people act (ignoring reasons associated with deeming something beyond the pale)...
How about deny a claim if the insured isn’t able to demonstrate compliance with the law? Ask your broker to get you competing quotes with a DEI office...
The woke don’t see the dissonance, the incoherence and the contradictions. I’ve pointed a few out to some folks I assume are sympathetic to woke ideol...
Perfect starting place for a woke position. Unless we are defining maga, because they are the definition of jackass bastards. Or white men. Nothing fr...
Go read the posts about exactly what I am maintaining. This is dumb. Let me give you an analogy of why I can’t easily answer your question with the wo...
No one has been “gagged”. Everyone is free to print whatever news is fit to print. Just because news media and professors are wimps and whiners doesn’...
Woke police 1980 - the word is “handicapped”, not retarded anymore. Woke police 1990 - the word is “disabled”, not handicapped. Woke police 2000s - th...
So some gagging is terrible, but gagging Athena wasn’t. It’s all baby shit. Anti-woke is often just as pathetic as woke. So what? I was trying to talk...
@"Mijin" there are millions of stories like that. They’ve been piling up since the 1980s. Maybe these aren’t a priority to you, and that’s fine, but t...
Wokeism is a type of totalitarian fascism. Can we acknowledge that first on a thread about the end of woke? Or does “wokeism” not exist? All across th...
It’s punching. That is the point. You can claim your own spot on whatever ladder you are climbing up or down if you want, and see your poor victims pu...
I agree selecting people by merit is the best way for people to select people to fulfill roles and jobs. I am a conservative. What is the ethical line...
That means you completely agree with the facts. The facts are, when you are racist against white men, it is poking fun, but when you are racist agains...
Ok, but there are all different flavors of bullshit. I’m sure you can say something of what wokeness is that makes the anti-woke, anti-woke, and not s...
:rofl: Who is leaning on “can’t define it” now? That was my line! I am happy to get started on a definition any time. What do you need? A definition o...
