    What was that about not giving a platform to extremists under the pretext of critiquing their views?https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/books/2018/may/30/germaine-greer-calls-for-punishment-for-to-be-reduced …

        Ugh. Bernard. Conflating one batshit thought bubble that literally nobody agrees with to the rascist musings of an influential crypto-fascist that embolden actual neo-nazis to commit violent acts and mow down people in cars is just everything that’s wrong with this debate.

        I don’t disagree with your stance on the broader issue here, but writing an article about the opinion of an academic who lacks wealth or political power is not quite the same as headlining at your ‘ideas’ festival a white supremecist who was key in installing Trump.

        Yes, racism is entirely equivalent. Well done.

        Every once in a while she blurts out something controversial - usually of a sexual nature. A clear case of relevancy deprivation. Can someone please have a mate influence Dutton to ‘au pair’ her back to the UK?

        I’m not a fan of Germaine but I’m sure rapists everywhere are. Maybe time she retires. 🤨

        That article hurt my head. I think it is still important to ask is the media platform “are you debating the idea or normalising bigoted behaviour”. We have a responsibility to be dillegent with that.
