Yea! Let's put all the Trump supporters in concentration camps. Wait! There really are Muslim terrorists, let's put them in the camps as well! Oh yea, most domestic terrorist are Christians, guess we should put them in as well... Or we could just accept that there are dangerous people of every creed and not be reactionary babies every time we don't get to live in our perfect safe space. Yes it is ridiculous to demand protection from speech you don't like. I find the college going elite of this generation frightening, their cult of victemhood fascism is going to be bad news when they end up in charge, all the same I'm not asking anyone to shield me from their plantive whining.
don't worry statistically it's very unlikely I'll be in charge of anything e: it's funny to me that that seems to "frighten" you but a trump supporter trying to blow up a mosque doesn't illicit much I mean maybe it does and you just didn't say but that comment being the one you feel the need to take a stand on speaks to me in an interesting way
I wasn't worried about you, I'm worried about the kids at Yale and Harvard. I'm not taking a stand for Trump, I'm taking a stand for freedom of expression and the right of all people to hold their own beleifs no matter how odious I might find them. You can be sure that you, me, them, everybody is part of a creed, religion or minority that someone else would gladly supress or even eliminate if they had the chance. As much as the children at Emory want to live Trump free there are people who would like to live without gays, blacks, or liberals. Picking who gets to talk and who doesn't is a perilous exercise and it's generally hardest on those with the least power and enfranchisement. Trump's desire for safe places is just as odious as that of the Emory kids. His proposed changes to lible laws would be a shield to anyone who can afford good leagal representation.
I don't think cgod put it well, but I think he is saying that it's dangerous to use selective speech control as a means to build a better world. It always backfires as it is a key of minority rights and the ability to promulgate change, and no one can exercise selection well. It is a solution that eventually makes problems of equal scale and suffering, which is scary. I don't think those students ought to be mocked. It doesn't help anyone.
Yea! Lets make up stuff that PrettyIceCube never said. I don't think trump supporters need to be in a concentration camp at all. Trump shouldn't be allowed to run on a platform that's encouraging terrorism though. Same as how Muslim preachers that encourage terrorism shouldn't be allowed to preach.
