Opinion: Protesters who "shut down speech" are exercising their own first amendment rights, full stop

If you have good arguments & learn how to debate you should be able to defeat these bad ideas using intellect - not simply having a tantrum
-
You heard it here first, folks: WWII was a "tantrum".
-
No one said that. Kids not talking about Nazis on campuses is the topic. Wow - get a clue
-
Funny, I was thinking just the same thing. (And I thought specious hand-wringing about being polite to averred fascists was the topic.)
-
Look, chumps like Spencer who advocate "peaceful ethnic cleansing" don't deserve the niceties of civilized debate.
-
His "ideas" were all pretty well debunked well before he was born. I see no reason to indulge him just because he's behind the curve.
-
That's fine - young people at school who haven't thought through all of this need to - then they too can come to the right conclusion

As a former prof my job was to make everyone uncomfortable on all sides of a debate topic. Learning to listen to another side & argue is key
-
Let's listen to Nazis? What is wrong with you academics?
-
Yes - listen, retort, show them to have horrible ideas and get people on your side. Or hi can just throw insults or turn away. Defeat them
-
Some of these Nazis have already been told that they are in the wrong and somehow you belive you are going to change them. Give me a break.
-
You can possibly change them. But the debate is public so your job is to change the minds of those who might follow them.
-
Debate was over when millions of people died.
-
The point is young people at univ need to learn to have a discussion/debate on topics that anger/outrage them. The Nazis are bad - we agree
-
Here's a possibility: they did have a debate. Their conclusion was, "nazis must be opposed".

Nazi-sympathizing is an extremely bad look.

This was written by a Jewish man who's family was in the Holocaust
-
Which makes the nazi sympathizing worse. I’m Jewish, my family fought nazis, and this take is shit.
-
Name to me one thing he's done that makes him a Nazi sympathizer
-
Read the fucking headline
-
Read the fucking article
-
I did. It compares student protests to fascism.
-
And so that makes the author a fascist sympathizer? Is that all it takes?
