Re: Washington Post again

No one is saying that. Who in the ever-livin' fuck is saying that?

What I am saying is that if all they're doing is marching down the street chanting slogans, this does not merit window-smashing, setting things alight, and assaulting police officers with urine-filled bottles.

We should not be responding to words with violence. I thought we taught that lesson in kindergarten.

It's not

And if it's not, then the police should be taking care of it.

They are using their words to incite hatred and violence, though. They're not, say, the Flat Earth Society, marching and saying silly things about the earth being flat, which we can just roll our eyes at and ignore. They're literally chanting "Seig Heil" and "The Jews will not replace us." They are trying to start a race war. They are literal fucking Nazis who want to make the US a white homeland and purge all other races and immigrants and whomever they deem inferior. Their words are weapons; if it takes violent opposition to defeat them, so be it.

Also, they are violent.

Also, if you want to talk about Milo, Milo, when speaking in college settings, literally uses his speeches on campus to out transgender students and illegal immigrant students. That's not "just words that we don't like". That is using your speech to do real and concrete harm to vulnerable populations. Preventing him from speaking is a legitimate and valid aim for protests, although I do not think that violence is justified towards that end.

And when they get violent, then by all means bring violence back upon them. Or, you know, call the cops instead of telling them to stand down. It's a bunch of tiny fringe idiots. Don't let them live rent-free in your head.

And, no. Preventing someone from speaking is not the answer. The answer to speech you don't like (IIRC, the trans student he "outed" was already out, and IMO illegal immigrants don't belong here; let them jump through hoops Like legal immigrants have to, instead of jumping the line) is more speech. Because pretty soon someone thinks you're the one inciting violence and endangering people, and then you're the one who's muzzled.

And so what? They are fringe nutbars no one is listening to. They can "try" all they want, but their success is by no means assured in the Land of the Free.

And no. Words are not weapons. Weapons are weapons. And the side that brings actual weapons to a word fight is in the wrong.

Donald Trump is the president

Yes, and? Did America turn into a bunch of Neo-Nazis overnight while I wasn't looking? I mean, a bunch of people who voted for Obama voted for Trump. One in ten Bernie supporters voted for Trump. Did they suddenly turn evil?
