Noam Chomsky: "Goebbels was in favor of free speech for views he liked. So was Stalin. If you’re really in favor of free speech, then you’re in favor of freedom of speech for precisely the views you despise. Otherwise, you’re not in favor of free speech."

I'm really tired of people saying, "I should get to debate whether you are a human and deserve to live." I', not actually in favor of having to sit around debating that. People who don't actually spend their time trying to not be debated out of existence love that shit, I don't.

No one is obligating you to engage in that debate, but we were talking about free speech

To advocate allowing the right to participate in a debate is to welcome debate over whether minoritized groups have rights

If we didn't allow any debate on that topic, minorities would most likely not have rights today. Anyway, I never saw anyone argue against the idea that minorities should have rights on SSC. I don't think they would have been welcomed.

1) The idea that rights were won by debate, and not by coercion and demand, is a fantasy with only bad reasons for believing it 2) Race realists being welcome is inherently allowing the argument that minoritized groups should have fewer rights

"2) Race realists being welcome is inherently allowing the argument that minoritized groups should have fewer rights" I think you are just wrong. One claim is just not like the other. Again: Are you saying that "race realism" if true implies that some races need fewer rights?

Because that is pretty screwed up to automatically say that if a race exists we need to assign it fewer rights.

No, I am saying that race realism is bullshit and the only people who argue for it are people who want to establish that some people are intrinsically lesser and worthy of abuse. ♫ This, I tell you, brooooootttthhhher, you won't see one without the- other! ♫

I think you're just wrong about this. One is a factual issue, the other a moral one. Logically speaking, they're very much unrelated. The big thing they have in common is that they're both taboo in your left wing filter bubble.
