I personally think many of today’s Democrats may as well be Republicans, but I haven’t followed politics long. Would you say a moderate Democratic today is to the right or left of moderate in say the 60s or 70s?
I’ve seen some footage of the 60s riots and they seemed pretty damn conservative
Hard to say. There was a huge party realignment after LBJ’s Civil Rights Act bill. Throws a lot out of whack when trying to make direct comparisons.
Lol, so you would like to restrict my free-speech rights to mock racists?
Oh I believe he absolutely can be as transphobic as he wants. This incident was just kindling for a much bigger fire
I really worry about “enlightened” countries like Canada enacting laws requiring the use of gender pronouns. A lot more stuff to get to as well
Sure. Comedians come to mind, like Chris Rock.
You’re free to do whatever you want. My point was it’s intellectually vapid. And you’re not even doing as good of a job at mocking as you think you are
We’ve seen this pathetic little song and dance before, no need to bring it up again. Seriously it’s much more tired than the “GUVMINT RESTRICTIONS” argument you referenced earlier. Lots of older comedians whose jokes and and styles don’t match the preferences of current college students aren’t invited to perform at those colleges; they do not have any inherent privilege to be invited to whatever college they want. Neither does Bari Weiss or Stephen Miller or Milo or whoever else might be making this specific complaint.
It’s really not. That dunk contest ended like 1,000,000 news cycles ago.
If you’re actually familiar with the Free Speech movement in the US in the 60s it was far broader than Government restriction under the 1st am.
You must be new to the artist now known as Basic’s posting. It all is.
Could set my watch to Wichita’s waterworks.
Anyway, shouting down of speech is more of a right wing trope.
No one is shouting you down. You are a consistently bad poster in almost every thread and at the volumes you post generally bring the level of discourse down.
Thank you for your thoughts, Commissar!
We moved past debating brain dead libertarians 10 years ago. It’s boring.
Lol we really doing “Democrats were the racists back in the 60s” ITT? Getting a little too close to the sun with that trolling.
We just watched brutal state violence used against civil rights activists across the entire country last summer for exercising their first amendment rights. We’re not in danger of losing free speech in the US because it never existed in the first place.
Is this cancel culture?

Damn if I say “he” or “she” in Canada I go to jail?
Wait lol isn’t this Canada pronouns law the thing Jordan Peterson was whining about a couple of years ago? You’re a little behind on your arguments

They are invited you nitwit. How do you think it works? They just show up at random? The student bodies are the ones who decide to invite someone. Jfc at least take a moment to learn how colleges work before making an ass of yourself
