Comment on Phasers set to "Bitch please"

  It couldn’t be that I watched a talk like this:

  youtu.be/QxB3b7fxMEA?si=_HLVoBr0moJg6Mkb

  And liked the ideas, but then see that it’s being used to call the speaker racist and attempts at silencing him. Plus the unwillingness to even have a conversation.

  You vilify the idea of “just asking questions” to the point that no one can ask questions. That leaves me standing here, not understanding your position, but unwilling to blindly accept everything I’m told to think.

  Sure, there are people who weaponize “just asking questions”, but is the solution really just to call every person with a contrary opinion a fucking nazi?

    Ah yes, the alt right debate me.bro youtube pipeline. You probably think you’re having this unique experience, but all the other losers went down the exact same path.

    If you say shit that people think is racist or nazi like, people are gonna call you a racist or a nazi. You won’t have a fun time here because your weirdo alt right youtube pipeline shit has already started to corrupt your brain and people are gonna keep calling the weirdo shit you say racist, sexist, transphoblic, or nazi like.

    Have a fun time trying to get people not to do that they want to do that, and we are all in full support. Maybe you’ll have a better time on the weirdo alt right social medias

      Let’s say you’re right, shouldn’t people try to stop other from going down that pipeline? Send a Destiny video or something.

      But I don’t think you’re right, I’ve been just about at this same point for 15 years.

      I love having conversations because I love deeply understanding things. I toy with ideas like little fidget toys, sometimes they end up being more interesting or useful and sometimes a friend tells me it’s dangerous and I put that idea down.

      I’m curious, did you see what videos I posted? It’s a black guy advocating for class based social justice. If he’s wrong, if the ideas he’s espousing are dangerous, I’d honestly like to understand how.

      … but “debate me bro” and “I’m just asking questions” means I can no longer debate or ask questions. Well, at least on the internet.

      Thankfully I’ve got friends who know me, understand my intents, and also seem to enjoy having these conversations with me.

        you keep the things that get you called racist, nazi and transphobe to you and your friends then

        but you shouldn’t be crying outrage when you do say things and then people label you from that, you said the things, maybe use that as a moment of reflection on yourself.
