| > Why is it perfectly fine to give platforms to people spouting Nazi talking points, or transphobia/homophobia/racism, but the minorities those people are saying should be killed aren't given anywhere near as high a platform by universities? You've provided an objective benchmark. Please list the occasions this has happened. I have yet to hear a political leader say that. I think you might find those people under Youtube comment sections and on 4chan but I've yet to hear of "kill minority x" as a part of somebody's platform. I don't think you're going to be able to find anybody who isn't obscure to the point other far rightists haven't heard of him. Leftists and Rightists interpret the same information completely differently sometimes, when Donald Trump was an anti-Semite, unquestionably, I remember that. I have a follow up question. What do you make of this: https://twitter.com/douglaskmurray/status/616194188489682944 Douglas Murray claims genuine terrorists, people who have been arrested for plotting to murder people, have been lecturing inside a year in UK colleges, it looks like 20 of them have been arrested or killed fighting in Syria and another 80+ are affiliated. "Last year, there were 123 speeches by extremists, which featured claims such as 'the West is waging a war against Islam'. There were also 145 events in 2013 and 132 in 2012. While the far Right hosted a handful of events, the lists were overwhelmingly dominated by Islamic speakers." It appears to me that the shoe is quite on the other foot when presented with this information. |
Milo Yiannopoulos advocates for practices that would literally kill people, in addition to advocating for pedophilia and getting very close to Nazi talking points.

Good thing I'm a centrist.
>What do you make of this:
Completely irrelevant. This has nothing to do with what we're talking about. However, I feel just the same as allowing right-wing extremists.
