Is this the kind of shit you let fester when your politicians are too fucking weakwilled to employ some actual laws against hate speech?


I'm a white man and quite frankly all these minorities just need to grow a thicker skin! /s

These same people will throw a terrible tantrum if a young Black girl calls them a "White boy" at a diner, or dares to insinuate they are racist. I know, I used to be one of them until I started using the gray matter inside my head.

Now Yiannopolis was given air time on Fox News.

My mom watches Fox News.
She didn't know who this douche was before tonight.
Now she does, and because it was someplace friendly to Yiannopolis like Fox, now she thinks he's a "nice boy who just wants to talk and those mean protesters are stifling the first ammendment."

Good fucking job. You just gave the jackhole a bigger microphone for his message.
If you just would have let him give his little speech and protest without burning the fucking place down, he would have spoken to a room of like minded individuals and wouldn't have made it on a giant news network to expand his hate speech.


Good job.
Fucking great.
Keep burning stuff down.
It's really helping ... Really.

Lolol

You should only be mad at your mom and Nazi fuckboys.

Be fair, the left isn't a single individual, or small group. Putting anything on Gaf as a whole isn't reasonable

None of us did anything you've described. I've made my unpopular opinion clear on the last page but it doesn't matter.

If Milo got more press, that's shit, and the people who pushed back might need to re-evaluate their strategy.

This sounds like a pretty roundabout way to not be accountable for ya momma

 

[Intheflorsh]

Yiannopolis has been on Fox News multiple times.

And CNN, MSNBC, BBC, ABC, etc.

 

[SwolBro]

This was a protest that turned to property damage. That is a problem.

Prior to that, there is no problem.

Speech is speech and protest counts as speech. You can decry the eventual violence. You lack any room to decry the protest itself. If a civil protest leads to his speaking engagement being cancelled, that's speech working as intended.

Yeah, prior to that there was no problem.

I don't think he should be canceled.

Tell everyone how to protest the right way. You seem to hold all the answers.

Peacefully.

This is not a zero sum game. People protested, some got carried away. That did not invalidate the protest. If a Nazi cockroach like Milo gets to speak, expect a really strong reaction from people.

No, the protest was not invalidated just the fact that he was canceled because of safety concerns is the problem.

If the alt-right starts doing this at every one of the speaking events they have a problem with that results in cancelation what are you going to say? It's a bad can of worms to open.

Ah yes, blame the protestors who are making your mom aware of this dude, and not why your mom watches Fox News in the first place where he has shown up multiple times. He has shown up in most news networks in interviews (BBC, Sky News, loads more).

 

[Cartman86]

Were you in a video game induced coma for the last 8 years or something? People like Milo didn't spring up overnight. They were ignored for years and years and they still got really popular.

Video games couldn't even be an excuse in this case considering how prominent he was in that area as well.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Then what's the goal of violent protesting? I'm confused on what the end game is here.

If you let him speak: His brand gets a boost
If you don't let him speak: His brand gets a boost

sooooo?

He doesn't get a platform to spew his garbage and we reduce the risk of him inciting targeted harassment of individual students, like he did just in the last month or so, to zero

How about you educate your mother?

 

[EatinOlives]

there were enough students at the university that wanted him to speak and he should have been allowed to speak regardless if people are offended.

if you continue down this road when will it stop? anyone can be offended, therefore everyone can be denied to speak if enough people are "bothered" by it.

this wasn't just protest, this was violent protesting enough to get someone canceled. this sends a terrible message.

No, it sends a fantastic message: hate speech has no place in a college campus.

 

[MHWilliams]

Yeah, prior to that there was no problem.

I don't think he should be canceled.

The latter statement is neither here nor there. Speech occasionally has consequences.

Or you could tell your mother to stop watching that garbage Fox News and maybe explain to her who Milo really is instead of letting her believe he's a 'nice boy'. Don't blame other people for this shit. Not to mention this guy has been on the news for months.

Ignoring the bully does nothing. You guys have one as the fucking president.

 

[Messofanego]

If you're a free speech advocate, then that means you support protests shutting down the feasibility for a person to espouse their views, because opposition to certain messages is also free speech.

If you think these protests are wrong, then you are not a free speech advocate. You're an advocate for the propagation of hate speech.

Totally agreed.

 

[Isotropy]

I've been keeping tabs on his Facebook follower numbers.

Every time something like this happens, his numbers explode. He even released a video sometime back on how to beat him - act like he isn't there.

I understand the arguments against that but seeing this blow up, and the continuing ballooning of his profile, I can't help but think he's right.

Have any minds been changed, or have more people who didn't know about Milo but may be sympathetic to his views now been exposed to him?

 

[Bronx-Man]

I'm on Sir Alemeth's side on this.

You see a white supremacist? You know what to do.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

The Berkeley College Republicans were always crazy. I mean you have to be crazy to be a hardcore Republican in Berkeley. Inviting Milo to the birthplace of the Free Speech Movement was crazy town, there's no way they didn't expect this to happen.

[Bonen no Max'd]

The idea that if we just ignore them they'll go away is absurd. We have a serious problem with young radicalized white men. Do you think Dylan Roof came out of nowhere? Do you think that what radicalized him was "paying too much attention"?

"Don't read the comments" has lead us (or at least, well-meaning white people) to believe the nasty things on the internet are only on the internet, but this shit has been brewing for years.
