    Is no one reading Why am I still being presented arguments about what is or isn't presented in the Constitution EDIT: will address my actual views on what defines free speech and whether Trump's EO is constitutional when I get a minute Sent from my iPhone using U2 Interference

    Is Offensive Political Violence Ever Justified?

    Someone pointed out how protests and deplatforming weren't violations of free speech. I pointed out how, while they're not violations of the FIRST AMENDMENT'S RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH, they're anathema to the principle of free speech. i.e. I don't think people should attempt to deplatform ideas...

    Is Offensive Political Violence Ever Justified?

    The government has no role in saving Milo's book deal or saving him from censorship. But when that SNL writer made some joke about Barron Trump and got canned, I fumed. I don't want to live in a society where, instead of combatting bad ideas with good ideas, or first mode of recourse is to...

    But do you think that they think the government should have a hand in preventing this? I guarantee you that the vast majority don't. Those who do shouldn't be listened to - they're missing the point, too. Sent from my iPhone using U2 Interference

    Is Offensive Political Violence Ever Justified?

    You know, I forgot you're living in Canada for a moment. Coming from an American, "your president" clearly implies that I support the man while you deride him. If that wasn't your point, and instead you chose that word to simply mean this country's president, I sincerely apologize for...

    Is Offensive Political Violence Ever Justified?

    It appears that, if they believe the argument is that a n y o n e complaining about Milo's governmental right to free speech is being violated, that they don't get the argument - yes. I'm willing to discuss this further with you, because I think you're a smart guy, but only if we're going to...

    How many times do we have to explain the difference between governmental restrictions of free speech and societal restrictions of free speech Really, I can almost guarantee you that the people mocking free speech advocates are the only ones not getting this Sent from my iPhone using U2...

    Is Offensive Political Violence Ever Justified?

    I said I wouldn't discuss it anymore, but the fact that Milo is STILL to this day characterized as a White Nationalist is proof, to me, that there is misrepresentation afoot. Things like this strike me as strange principles for a White Nationalist to put forth. Will you concede that, even if...

    Is Offensive Political Violence Ever Justified?

    Apology accepted, Dave. My condescension was out of line, too. I think we can both discuss this respectfully. Now onto your question: Well, yes actually. But quite frankly, you'll be hard pressed to find any non-call-to-action speech that I don't think qualifies as free speech. Are you now...

    Is Offensive Political Violence Ever Justified?

    You somehow took my points and decided they implied I, too, support pedophilia. At that point, it becomes reasonable for me to assume a degree of condescension from me may be necessary in order for us to communicate. Now onto your question: nope

    Is Offensive Political Violence Ever Justified?

    Entirely possible, and if that's the case, I want to be corrected as soon as possible. I don't want to go around saying things that will embarrass me later on, of course not. FYM has changed my mind on topics in my younger years - gay marriage, for instance. I am entirely open to changing my...

    Is Offensive Political Violence Ever Justified?

    Nowhere did I say men have higher IQ's statistically - this is mathematically untrue, and I spoke very precisely on purpose. I stand by what I said, but I don't stand by what you're now claiming I said. You needn't discuss it with me if you don't want to, but it seems reasonable for me to...

    Is Offensive Political Violence Ever Justified?

    If you sound out the words on the screen (Phonics | Reading Rockets) you'll notice that that definition of pedophilia is correct, and isn't putting forth a moral judgment on the matter. That doesn't mean that it's acceptable to fuck 13 year olds - it just means that there's a different word for...

    Is Offensive Political Violence Ever Justified?

    Come now, we were having a seemingly intelligent back-and-forth -- debate my points or don't, but playing the "I'm not being taken serious bc vagina even though this vagina allows me to read these words more clearly than your penis would allow you to!" is below you. Am I disrespecting your...

    Is Offensive Political Violence Ever Justified?

    You're taking this in the way you would take it if a politician had said it, rather than a performance artist/provocateur. Do you not think this reads as, to some degree, tongue in cheek, or do you think some subjects just can't be tackled in a lighthearted manner? Re: the IQ distribution -...

    His first relationship was with a 29 year old when he was 17. A large age gap, but a legal one in Britain. He claims to regret the word choice, saying that in gay culture, it isn't uncommon to refer to younger, more submissive partners as "boys," even when they're consenting adults. Next up...

    I'm a fan of Milo, certainly. That isn't to say I agree with everything he says, but honestly, it's rather apparent that neither does he. His schtick is a little deeper than that, as far as I can tell. Sent from my iPhone using U2 Interference

    Is Offensive Political Violence Ever Justified?

    I'm kind of bored with debunking the idea that Milo's a white nationalist, an antisemite, or a Nazi. That dishonesty coming from the Left is ceasing to warrant my time. That said, innumerable left-leaning outlets (think: Salon, Huffpo, etc) have jumped on the "Milo supports pedophiles/is a...

    Is Offensive Political Violence Ever Justified?

    Do a modicum of research before publishing slanderous article after article accusing a man who was a victim of child molestation of supporting pedophilia? I didn't come in here bashing the left for this, I was just confused as to why I was questioned regarding which side of the political aisle...

    Is Offensive Political Violence Ever Justified?

    Edited the post to make clear what I meant by referencing McMullen - the right wing establishment decided to go with the "gay man/pedophilia" connection once again, and it's pretty disgusting That said, is your contention that, since the Left has always criticized Milo, my "beef/outrage"...
