Cancel Culture and the Harper's Letter

Why can’t their racist, homophobic, and sexist comments be discussed openly in a fair debate? Maybe we should consider their argument rationally and perhaps he can be given an academic appointment.

I genuinely don’t understand the people who believe bad ideas are only beaten by debating them. That never happens! Anyone who has spent 10 minutes in a comment section or forum online knows this.

counterpoint: drew brees is a piece of shit. and this most recent anti-blm kneeling thing wasn’t the first evidence of that.

Yeah. I’m not interested in being an expert on a lot of things, and neither are many other people. Studying how to most tactfully navigate this modern world, with all the vociferous special interests, is not an activity near the top of virtually anyone’s hierarchy of priority. And it probably shouldn’t be. Sounds like an exercise in large-scale immiseration.

I don’t mean to be callous and disagreeable(though that’s my well-earned reputation here), but this forum is about ideas and this uncomfortable world we inhabit, not about conformity and absolutism.

Damn, he probably figured he worked at the one place that would be fine.

Craziest takeaway from the CNN business is apparently there’s a site called AutoAdmit, which at some point was for lawyers and law students, that’s full-blown stormfront with threads with uncensored N-world in the title. That’s a full level or two worse than Chiefsplanet even.

Makes you wonder how many freaking sites like that are there? And how did that site morph into what it was?

On May 27, Neff wrote that Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib — known collectively as “The Squad” — want to “MAKE YOUR COUNTRY A DUMPING GROUND FOR PEOPLE FROM THIRD WORLD SHITHOLES.” Responding to a thread on June 27 about whether “whites fear what’s going to happen to them in 10-20 yrs,” Neff wrote that he has “no plans to stay” in the country “that long.” In December 2019, he said that “once Democrats have the majorities to go full FK WHITEY, things are going to get really wacky really quickly." He argued at the time that there is a "large minority of whites who are fully supportive of a Fk Whitey agenda” and that “there’s a suicidal impulse to Western peoples that honestly feels almost biological in origin.”

When not making his own bigoted comments, Neff has shown a willingness to respond to others who were, without expressing any hesitation, much less disgust, about what they’ve said. For instance, in 2016 he replied to a thread with the title, “Mary Poppins getting raped by a pack of wild nirs at the park; kids watching." That same year, he commented on a thread titled, "DIKES get wrong CUM at CUMBANK. N*R pops out.” Just last month, Neff replied to a comment on the thread that said, “And the n**s are always honor students or some bullshit.” (The language on both posts was not censored on the forum.)

It’s crazy that I can’t wait to get out of this country because of the racism, and these guys can wait to get out because it’s not racist enough. Just blows my mind.

I also lol at the idea of CNN business trying to go though my 92k posts on 22, 20k on Chiefsplanet, and however many here - looking for something to nail me on. It might be in there but good luck. You’ll figure out I’ve done a lot of drugs in my life but that’s about it.

I think I’m understanding what your saying. At least in part.

Regardless, I will say this though. If you value non-conformity, I gotta tell ya…the trans people I know are the most nonconforming people I’ve ever met. And not just when it comes to gender. You’d dig them.

So yeah autoadmit still up, still tons of threads with N-word, kike, etc. right in the title.

The first reply to the thread about Blake Neff is just the N-word 6 times. Such bold free speech absolutists!

Yeah. It’s almost like we’re the shithole country

There’s a site that’s like a lite version of that for Econ PhDs

America is less racist than most other first-world countries. Americans only appear more racist because the racists are more outspoken about their bigotry. Social media also broadcasts their voices all over the internet. 40% of the American population isn’t non-Hispanic white. That’s a lot of people who aren’t racist.

Countries in east of the Iron Curtain dominate when it comes to racism. Take the Czech Republic as an example. Over 95% of the population is native Czech. About half of the remaining 5% are Ukrainian and Slovak. Less than 2% of the population is non-white. Muslims make up 0.2% of the population. The racism is off the charts here. Even the most liberal person here is bigoted against at least one minority group. Difference here is that it’s kept quiet…

Yeah I’m not planning to settle in any first world country. I just want to be a nomad for a while.

Going down an AutoAdmit rabbit hole a bit. They think they’ve had a huge influence on the alt-right. They’re very very interested in race and IQ of course.

Kneeling is not disrespecting the flag its standing for what the flag is supposed to represent. Freedom and Justice for all. Values it does and has not live up to for many.

The people who kneel fight for the things the flag is supposed to be a symbol of.

Even framing it as “disrespecting the flag” is dishonest and purposely misunderstands the protest.

But Neff squandered any benefit of the doubt Smith gave him when he continued opening his mouth. When faced with her blond hair, he told her he preferred brown locks. When he was late to the restaurant and walked in to find her sipping a drink at the bar, he informed her that alcohol is “poison.” Yet Neff told Date Lab that when Smith said she wasn’t sure if she wanted to pursue a relationship, he thought, “If I were Brad Pitt, you would be”—a classic case of a man blaming a woman’s romantic disinterest on something wrong with her (in this case, her imagined superficiality) instead of his own bad personality.

Though both parties inexplicably rated the outing a four out of five, they haven’t gone on a second date. Poor McKenzie told Date Lab that she was scared Neff would “trash” her in his postdate interview. Looks like Neff is still on the lookout for a woman with a “willingness to see the ironies and oddities in anything, even if it’s dark or mundane.” One supposes that includes the irony of a 27-year-old who detests braggarts of educational pedigrees putting his undergraduate alma mater (Dartmouth!) in his Twitter profile, and the irony of a man who uses his hobbies to “escape women” asking a newspaper to set him up with one.

Lol this dude’s been kinda infamous for a while. For anyone who doesn’t get or didn’t read the WaPo dating piece on him that I posted, this is a synopsis.

Are they just asking questions?

Really good twitter thread on this:
