hating haters doesn't make the hate ok, does it?if i knew i would tell you.Perhaps CNN is citing the Southern Poverty Law Center for who is labeled a hate group. It's what SPLC does. Check it out.which is why i want to know who can call what hate speech.Nor from me. I'm giving you a chance but there is no way to define hate speech without using words. The words themselves are essential.i am trying to - as i started off - define hate speech.was milo wanting to talk at berkley to other conservatives hate?
We aren't discussing Milo. I condemned the actions at Berkeley already. Let's not confound the issue.
and i have a huge problem with that. i also have a problem with removing rights from people cause you *deem* them hateful. if they follow the letter of the law the rights apply to them also
So far, you're just saying the same thing over and over.
I don't want to go search the vids of these disgusting assholes to give you examples of their speech. You already know what they've said and you are pretending that what is coming out of their mouths is not hateful and disrespectful of entire groups of people. I'd prefer in this country that we uphold the rights of all groups to be treated with respect. Chanting Nazi slogans and screaming N!gger is hateful, and moreover it is meant to humiliate, harass and intimidate those targeted groups. Fuck that, Iceberg. Don't even talk to me if you're going to defend that.
i said nothing about any other group.
i also prefer all groups to be treated with respect. i would just as soon both sides stop shouting out hateful commentary to each other. but my question was not to do with this specific incident but the larger issue of banning "hate speech".
you keep moving me to some demonic side of things and pretending i'm saying things i've never said simply because i'm asking for a better definition of what we are in fact trying to get our heads around.
you can give me examples of assholes talking. i can give you examples of assholes talking. both sides. now that i'm trying to define what we can agree would be hate speech you're to "fuck that don't talk to me"
maybe that's best as you don't seem to want to listen anyway.
peace out. no hate from me.
in an example i tried to show i'm pointing out CNN is taking it upon themselves to tell you who the hate speech groups are out there. who gave them this role? is there an official "you have crossed X line and are now an official hate group" like we do with sex offenders?
as for giving me a chance - really? you're taking the moral MY OPINIONS ARE BETTER THAN YOURS and so kindly "giving me a chance"?
keep your chances. i'm here to talk about our differences, not find out how to make you happy.
Why don't you tell me what the definition of hate speech is, in your opinion. Or does it not actually exist as far as you are concerned? Are these groups like the KKK and the neo-Nazis not "hate groups" in your opinion? Make yourself clear.
is what the white nationalists did hate speech? i'd say so yes. but i'd also say what the antifa did to milo and their group hate also. hating haters doesn't make the hate ok, does it?
i'm not asking to be a dick contrary to what you seem to think. i'm asking this to establish a baseline for talking about it. you seem to find it offensive i don't simply go HATER and join the mob in demeaning them. i may be wrong but that's how i'm taking this convo so far from you.
i also never said we don't have hate speech, i have said time and again i won't take someones rights away so easily cause i don't like what they are saying.
people confuse that point far too easily it seems and take that to mean i approve of what they say or how they act. far from it but i suppose it makes it simpler for you to understand vs. talking things out.
Refusing to tolerate intolerance is okay.
There's a difference between "not liking" what someone is saying and hearing that person say things that strip other people of their dignity and threaten their safety. Those people who sure as hell sound like haters to me don't deserve a megaphone, in my book. You don't "peaceably" assemble to scream offensive words at another group or promise to push them off the face of the earth.
You truly need to think more about what hate speech is. Get off Milo--he's old news. Antifa is another violent fringe group and there's not a lot of difference between the two polar opposites as far as tactics. You'll get stuck there forever if you can't accept that the white nationalists can be just as wrong as they are.
