[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These groups are not actually in favor of free speech. They just don’t want anyone learning anything accurate about the history of slavery. It’s Orwellian for them to describe themselves as in favor of free speech when their only goal is to subvert free speech. [/quote]

Straight up gaslighting 101.

It’s true. These cancel culture groups are trying to get courses that teach about the history of racism and slavery actually cancelled. That’s straight up Orwellian. You cannot advocate that you support free speech and try to get courses cancelled at the same time without people noticing you are basically just a fascist group trying to shut dissent.

Hint: people who truly support free speech on campus don’t spend all their time trying to suppress it. [/quote]

Happens on both sides, but you know that already.[/quote]

It’s really hard to be sympathetic when people like Milo are “victims.”

Once again, you’re falling for these rich, old, white guys’ plan by pulling the “whataboutisms” out for this conversation.

They want to preserve the legacy of Lee. They want Jefferson enshrined instead of seen in light of the historical information that’s been discovered. They don’t want schools to acknowledge any of the messy or hurtful parts of their history. This is NOT about free speech. It’s their agenda with “free speech” as cover. [/quote]

No whataboutism, pure fact.  It happens on both sides and the fact you don't get that proves you are an unserious person or worse disingenuous.  You are not even worth engaging, you are as bad as the people you harping about.  Have a nice day.[/quote]
