This rhetoric reminds me strongly of the following conversation: "It's not easy to see something that's never been before. A good world." "How do you know? How do you know what will be good?" "Because I know what is good" (1/2)

"What about everyone else? All the other people who think they know what's good." "They don't get to choose." Perhaps you recognize where this conversation is from. (2/2)

That’s from that TV show that decided that the woman who went around freeing slaves was ultimately the villain, right?

Yeah arguing for milquetoast liberal tolerance based on a work of fiction written by milquetoast liberals isn't much of an argument, except for the thesis that Hollywood is filled with milquetoast liberals

It's the same guys who were gonna do a TV show about an alternate universe where chattel slavery never ended and we get to see what a high-tech 21st-century Confederate States of America would look like How exciting, how fun Lots of morally gray dilemmas I'm sure

I like how the Game of Thrones finale was so interested in these difficult themes of slavery and oppression that it gave us a detailed, thoughtful explanation of what the fuck happened to the Unsullied after Daenerys dies

They totally didn't just send them to Naath where the other Black character comes from and completely forget about the thing where the toxic butterflies kill all foreigners I'm sure it all worked out

Of course, I'm just an angry SJW nitpicker, which is why this is a minority opinion and the ending of Game of Thrones was so universally beloved and praised, to my great frustration as a lonely outnumbered critic

Making the point that no one person, not even the seemingly best candidate, is fit to decide what is right and wrong by decree, without debate, is one of the few things I feel the GoT finale got right

Arthur has no power to back up a decree. If we each have the right to decide right and wrong for ourselves, then Arthur must have the right to decide that giving eugenacists the benefit of public debate is wrong.

I am not the one person in the world saying to always punch Nazis I am not the first person to say it I am very happy to admit that in this matter I am a bandwagoner, and that this is a very important bandwagon to jump on

Generally the best way to deal with bullies is to take them by surprise, yes.
