[quote author=Anonymous link=msg=370751 date=1594425089]
<t>On July 7, the venerable liberal establishment magazine Harper’s published a pretty remarkable letter.

It’s called “A Letter on Justice and Open Debate”, and it was signed and endorsed by 150 writers, academics and artists, including J.K. Rowling and Salman Rushdie, as well as Canada’s own Margaret Atwood and Malcolm Gladwell.

The surprising thing about this letter is that, aside from a few predictable lies about “the radical right” constricting the free exchange of ideas and Donald Trump being “a real threat to democracy”, it was spot on – an insightful account of the problems with the “cancel culture”!

The letter does a great job in calling out the ideological conformity and stifling mono-culture being fomented by “woke” mobs, both online and in real life right now.

The letter says: “The free exchange of information and ideas, the lifeblood of a liberal society, is daily becoming more constricted.” Absolutely true!

It goes on to warn: “This stifling atmosphere will ultimately harm the most vital causes of our time. The restriction of debate, whether by a repressive government or an intolerant society, invariably hurts those who lack power and makes everyone less capable of democratic participation.”

And it concludes: “The way to defeat bad ideas is by exposure, argument, and persuasion, not by trying to silence them or wish them away.”

I couldn’t have said it better myself. It’s an acknowledgment that the intolerant radicals pushing the crushing conformity of “cancel culture” have found a potent foe among the white libtard cultural establishment.</t>

Not when they are hiding their faces and are part of an angry mob.

Or kneeling on toddler's heads...

How could any adult do that to a baby.

A lot of privilege fragility in this thread.

I'm privileged, I admit it. I am physically healthy, and I was born into a hard working family who gave me good values and sacrificed for my education. You are privileged too aren't you?

Old Oak is right about one thing, most people don't recognize how fortunate or "privileged" they are. And your example shows fortunate circumstances have nothing to do with skin colour. At least in North America.

Trump On Black People Killed By Police: 'So Are White People'

President Donald Trump dismissed the notion that black Americans are being killed by police in disproportionate numbers Tuesday, telling CBS News' Catherine Herridge that police kill white Americans too.

"Let's talk about George Floyd," Herridge began. "You said George Floyd's death was a terrible thing. Why are African Americans still dying at the hands of law enforcement in this country?"

"And so are white people," Trump responded. "So are white people. What a terrible question to ask. So are white people — more white people, by the way, more white people."

Herridge also asked Trump about his disdain for movements against Confederate monuments and symbols, which he argued are freedom of speech issues.

"All I say is freedom of speech. It's very simple. My attitude is freedom of speech. Very strong views on the Confederate flag. With me, it's freedom of speech. Very simple. Like it, don't like it, it's freedom of speech."

Mel. I don't mean to interrupt your conversation with yourself, but if you still enjoy videos when you are drunk and depressed watch this one.

A liberal farts degree from the US or Canada means you can only regurgitate what woke professors drill into their empty heads.

AOC!

Lets make love, not hate.
