1. Your denial that liberals are trying to stifle free speech because then they are not liberals is the Logical Fallacy of No True Scotsman, and thus invalid.
2. The strategy of the KKK, today, is not that of 85 years ago. THey are now a powerless fringe.
1. My denial is that you have a clue what you're addledly babbling about with your citations of "Liberals". I've been noting that all along. These are only "Liberals" in the sense that *YOU* have labeled them that, in direct contradiction of what the term means. That ain't on them, it ain't on me, and it ain't on Scotland --- that's on *YOU*.
And don't try to reinvent logical fallacies just so you can run away from it:
If Angus, a Glaswegian, who puts sugar on his porridge, is proposed as a counter-example to the claim “No Scotsman puts sugar on his porridge”, the ‘No true Scotsman’ fallacy would run as follows:
(1) Angus puts sugar on his porridge.
(2) No (true) Scotsman puts sugar on his porridge.
Therefore:
(3) Angus is not a (true) Scotsman.
Therefore:
(4) Angus is not a counter-example to the claim that no Scotsman puts sugar on his porridge.
---- this requires a premise that "No true Scotsman puts sugar on his porridge". That premise is not proven; it's an
opinion.
The definition of Liberal however is not negotiable. It is not an opinion. You don't get to call a mattress a "dog kennel" just because *YOU* can't say "mattress". K?
Except that self described liberals, who hold liberal political positions and are widely accepted as liberals, are doing this.
If you have somehow missed this issue, you need to pay more attention
I don't "NEED" to "pay" jack shit, Homer. Maybe
you "NEED" to link us to where whoever it is we're talking about labels
themselves, huh?
2. How much "power" the Klan has now or had at any random date is completely irrelevant to its practices and philosophies.
Sure it does. It cannot practice any control or censorship, because it has no power.
I don't give a flying **** what it "can" or "cannot" do. The question was about its philosophy. And AGAIN, to what degree it can or cannot execute that philosophy
HAS NO BEARING ON WHAT THE FLYING **** IT IS.
The question was about practices and actions and behavior and philosophies.
Liberals actions are wildly divergence from their stated philosophies. That makes them terrible hypocrites, but they are still liberals, just hypocritical liberals.
NO Hunior, that's just
you calling a mattress a dog kennel and then blaming the mattress. Apparently your game here is to play retard.
The Klan of today, is a pathetic shadow of when they had actual power. They are incapable of any attempt of the type of actions you were accusing of.
Once AGAIN whether any entity is "capable" of something HAS NO BEARING ON WHETHER THEY
ADVOCATE IT. "Capability" is not even
related to what that philosophy is.
******* retard.
Here is the timeline for the Berkeley riots of 2017. Follow it, you can see how the liberals alumni, local dems, and violent street liberals all work together to shut down speech they don't like.
2017 Berkeley protests - Wikipedia
"On February 1,
Milo Yiannopoulos was scheduled to make a speech at the
University of California, Berkeley at 8:00 pm. Prior, more than 100 UC Berkeley faculty signed a petition urging the university to cancel the event"
"Over 1,500 people gathered on the steps of
Sproul Hall to protest the event. The university had been a non-violent, student gathering until a group of 150 black bloc protestors slowly entered the crowd and interrupted the protest.
[4][3] The interrupting protesters, which included
Antifa activists and some who identified themselves as members of the left-wing group
By Any Means Necessary,
[5][6] set fires, damaged property, threw fireworks, attacked members of the crowd, and threw rocks at the police.
[3] Within twenty minutes of the start of the violence, the Yiannopoulos event was officially canceled by the university police department due to security concerns,"
"Among those assaulted were a Syrian Muslim, who was pepper sprayed and hit with a rod by a protester who said "You look like a Nazi" "
"Also during the event a former Diablo Valley College professor allegedly attacked three protesters with a bike lock, hitting them on the head and causing "significant injuries". He was subsequently arrested on three counts of assault with a deadly weapon."
"On April 18, 2017 administrators at UC Berkeley canceled a planned April 27 appearance on the campus by conservative columnist
Ann Coulter, citing safety concerns. Coulter tweeted on April 19 that she would be coming to Berkeley to speak on that date regardless.
[29][30] On April 20, the University stated that they would host Coulter on May 2 at a "protected venue" that would be disclosed at a later date.
[31] Coulter declined to reschedule, noting that she was unavailable on May 2 and that UC Berkeley had no classes scheduled for that week, and said she would hold her speech on April 27 with or without the university's consent. "
"The counter-protest was initially peaceful until about 100 masked
black-clad anti-fascists carrying shields and sticks broke through police lines, bypassing security checks. The Berkeley police chief had ordered his officers to abandon the park, arguing that confronting the antifa activists would have led to more violence.
[42] The masked protesters targeted the small number of right-wing activists attending the announced rally, in some cases pepper-spraying and chasing them away, or beating them"
"Anti-fascists threatened to break the cameras of journalists who recorded them"
"Berkeley Mayor
Jesse Arreguin asked UC Berkeley in August 2017 to cancel conservatives’ speech plans slated for September 24–27 in prevention of violent civil unrest"
"Prior to the slated event, some students members of Berkeley Patriot filed a complaint with to the
U.S. Department of Justice alleging, among other things, that the university had "arbitrary and irrational bureaucratic hurdles on student groups which seek to exercise their First Amendment rights by holding public debates."
[59]"
"On September 24, Yiannopoulos, Cernovich and Geller arrived outside Sproul Hall and Yiannopoulos spoke very briefly without a sound system and sang the
U.S. national anthem.
[64] Hundreds of protesters and supporters surrounded the police barricades that were erected that morning around Sproul Plaza. Attendees were permitted into the plaza only after passing through a single metal detector; approximately 150 people saw Yiannopoulos speak, while hundreds more waited in line."
"Following the February 1 protest, a lawyer representing a local police union criticized the police administration for their "hands off" policy which prevented officers from preventing crime or making arrests."
"In January 2018, four people who were attacked while trying to attend a speech due to be given Yiannopoulos filed a federal civil-rights lawsuit against the University of California, Berkeley. The lawsuit alleged that campus and city officials failed to prepare for the rioting despite sufficient warning, and as a result would-be attendees were left vulnerable to assault by left-wing protest groups."
