Some practical recommendations for nipping “free speech” white nationalism in the bud

quote [ Let’s be clear on one thing: the “free speech” angle of these rallies couldn’t possibly be more disingenuous. These people give exactly zero shits about Trump’s attacks on journalism and its very real tendency toward Erdoğan-style jailing and purging of journalists and academics. ]

There seems to be two schools of though. Ignore it don't give it any more importance. And the one I superscribe to.Confront this shit where ever you find it do not let it become normalized.

I wonder how they are reacting at The_Donald to all the changes.

And on the other side of the coin...



Specifically, Warren took aim at a recent New York Times op-ed by Democratic commentators Mark Penn and Andrew Stein, who argued that Democrats must moderate their positions in order to take back Congress and, ultimately, the presidency.

Warren ridiculed this argument as a call for a return to Bill Clinton-era policies that "lock[ed] up non-violent drug offenders and ripp[ed] more holes in our economic safety net."

Pretty good speech.
Penn should have been retired long ago.

Where do you see Warren? She says she is not Running for Prez...but if looks like a duck....
President... Majority Leader in the Senate or maybe VP? Still say the elites worst nightmare is her as chairman of the banking committee.
I don't see the Dems taking back the senate this election and to far to use the crystal ball for 2020

+EDIT+++++++++

All I hear from the media is that the Dems don't have a message and the DNC isn't raising any money...what they are really saying is the 3rd way folks who are in charge of the DNC have no message and progresives aren't giving them any money instead it is going other places, but that is never mentioned. Sanders /Warren...who are they?

S/W are both running on a set of polices but you would never know it.

I think she's keeping her options open, she'd make it a fun campaign, but I'm hoping for somebody younger. Anybody who intends to run should be laying the groundwork now.

I'm still with Sherrod Brown, but Warren could make me change my mind. I still wonder if Bernie is running and if not who will he endorse. And as far as younger I don't see any populist who are younger getting ready for a run...at least none who seem qualified. After that speech somebody would have to lay it out just as clear or Warren will get my vote

And to follow up on my prediction on Russia dropping some dirt on Trump if he turns against them on sanctions, then saying it all hung on arming Ukraine...US debate on arming Ukraine puts pressure on Russia, Trump

It is still hanging in the balance.

And this one made me laugh so hard I got the hiccups...

White nationalists are flocking to genetic ancestry tests — but many don't like their results

Science is a bitch.

agenda has been clear for days.

to normalize your views of racism via false equivalencies and deflating the oppositions arguments by likening their tactics.

maybe you read the post bit are being willfully ignorant. either way...

No. There's real free speech (as summarized by the XKCD comic that bbqkink provided) and then, on the other hand, there is what the alt-right calls "free speech" (but it is really just a rhetorical trick that they use to deflect criticism and silence opposition after they voice their often hateful views).

It is the alt-right's misuse of the term "free speech" that is being used in sneer quotes. Real free speech is alive and well.

see, if you were generally concerned and not trolling, you would have made a post which espoused your views.

you never do. you always retreat from these questions by attempting to spin argument.

just like norok and fish.
rylex said @ 2:06pm GMT on 20th Aug
no one is suggesting what you're trolling/shilling at all.

thanks for proving the post.
