College Liberal

I thought about this myself.

She has no right to riot and keep others from enjoying their free speech privilege. Get out of here, snowflake.

A = A. Rioting is Rioting. Talking is Talking. The Law of identity. First basic law of logic. Know the difference....

Nope, completely untrue

I know free speech only applies to you liberals

Well what is your point?

Doesn't sound free to me.

sounds to me like she was paying to air her commercial

Here's a point you "left out." Those "conservative speakers" were white nationalists and assclowns like Milo Yiannapolos (or however you spell it) Those aren't "harmless conservatives." Those are agitators and provocateurs. And YOU KNOW IT.

This meme is garbage.

Fascism and Communism are not what we're discussing here. You're obviously an extremist. I'm actually a moderate Independent, neither conservative nor liberal. I believe conservatives are sliding way too far to the Right, and, if you're paying attention and actually know American political history, the Dems are what Republicans USED to be. The Tea Party tainted the GOP. It infused it with anger, paranoia, and YES racism. You bet your ass that they ruined the Republicans. And it's about to bite them in the ass. If I were a Republican and a Trump voter I'd be embarrassed and ashamed of myself. Donald Trump is the worst thing to happen to America since Nixon. Trump's making Nixon look like a not-that-bad guy. That's how horrible Trump is. I'm not even worried about him being a horrible president, because I already knew he was a horrible PERSON. It's you morons who bought his bullshit hook, line, and sinker.

I'M NOT A LIBERAL. You're a blind follower of an ideology that has historically failed, and is destined to fail again. Period. Is burning down a college campus an appropriate answer to a well-known white nationalist, alt-right agitator speaking at the school? NO. But it's a major issue that scumbags like this feel emboldened to spread their baseless, fear-fueled garbage to young minds who don't need to be exposed to it. It's a problem when racism feels comfortable enough to show its ugly face due to an inept, hapless, socially-retarded national leader. The ENTIRE WORLD is laughing at Trump. AND US, by extension. He undeservedly represents us. ME. And I find him unworthy and unfit to do so. And this damn fool reinforces that belief on an almost daily basis. Puerto Rico's just his LATEST fv(k up. The dude's a failure as President, and he likely won't survive his first term.

No matter how many society-tone-deaf memes fans like you make.

No, YOU consider them nationalists and agitators and nazis and all that. Yiannapolos is gay and Shapiro is Jewish. They were also coming to speak to conservative groups at the college. No one was required to attend. You are EXACTLY the kind of person my meme is about.

Oh. It's "just me." Silly me. I could've sworn public opinion is overwhelmingly on my side as to who these soft-sellers of racism, bigotry, and prejudice are.

I must be mistaken. Bullshit.

Public opinion is on your side? Well all polls showed that Hillary was sure to win.

No, actually Mr. BlackATTACK those are all just your opinions and are NOT reality.

1. It is Marxist college professors like Obama's buddy Billy Ayers, along with far left figures who are destroying young minds.

2. The Democrats are extremists as well. Your opinion that Republicans are the only extremists are just that YOUR opinion. Reality suggests otherwise.

3. Your opinion on Trump is just that, YOUR opinion. Before you go show me polls from the same pollsters who said Hillary was going to win, let me remind you that opinion and reality are two completely different things.

4. You people have been attacking Trump for six months now and it is has failed miserably for you. People like Antifa and crazos like Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi are not helping you. You will be screaming in pain and crying and making false accusations once again when the Republicans keep congress next year and Trump is re-elected in 2020.

5. The only people who see race are you folks. You see race in everything. You even let cotton decor sold at home decor stores get to you. People have had enough of your political correctness. We have had enough. You can keep on making your baseless accusations all you want. We are through with you Marxists..and YES you are so obviously a liberal Democrat just calling yourself a moderate independent to try to give yourself some credibility here.

Liberal stop believing in free speech a long time ago....

this is common sense and you're clearly a bright person. i honestly can't understand why you argue the conservative party line instead of opening your mind.

Physically blocking someone, rioting, beating up people, and destroying the property of the venue where someone is supposed to talk is not exercising free speech. Standing on the sideline, holding up your stupid signs, and yelling at the person you don't like, sure, that's free speech.

i think you're confusing a minority of troublemakers with a majority of civically responsible students.

Maybe you need to re-read the original meme. It's referring to the people who are blocking conservatives from talking. You then responded that that was her freedom of speech, which is not true if she's doing more than just talking. Furthermore, you must be living with your head in the sand, because when thousands of people are out there rioting, committing acts of vandalism, and trying to shut down people from speaking by taking over the halls that the speakers are in and shouting so loudly no one can hear them, it's more than just a minor problem. Maybe you should have a look at some videos on youtube before you open your mouth again. Here's a few good searches to start: "Gavin McInnes at NYU," "Jordan Peterson McMaster," "Berkeley riots Milo." Continue from there, there is no shortage whatsoever. Thanks, bye.

you're trying to school me on something that you understand only from well-crafted videos and biased media reports. anonymity makes you brave but it doesn't replace real knowledge. why do some people on this site try to cut down and talk down to rational people, based only on arrogance and on outrage that their views are contested? i'd help you if i knew how but i haven't figured it out yet.

"Well-crafted videos and biased media reports." Please. What you see there is raw video, not video that has been re-arranged and edited by some jerkoff reporter who wants to craft his own story. What is this "real knowledge" you speak about? Even the "real media," as I'm sure you'd call it, showed the rioting, and I don't just mean at Berkeley, I mean all over the place since Trump's election. Do you have a short memory or something? You also completely bypassed my point that your response to the original meme was incorrect, Mr. Rational.

I could say the same thing about police brutality. It only takes a couple of bad apples to ruin the bunch. Defending these people means that you endorse their behavior even though you don't have the courage to participate yourself.

how do you expect to change anyone's mind if you're not open to change yourself?

Doesn't matter what anyone wants. You can't change human nature. Fear, anger, hatred, jealousy are everyday emotions triggered by our fight or flight instinct. As long as those emotions exist there will be people screaming foul.

Yes you can "disagree," you can even protest, but now some on the Left vandalize and intimidate people they disagree with.

Yes you can tell someone "not to come to your home," but the speakers are not going to campus living quarters but instead are confined to auditoriums with the designated purpose of have various presentations.

Yes, no one have a "right to make other listen," but you also do not have the right to stop other from listening. You can walk away from a speech, but you should not block and intimidate others from listing.

I firmly believe in freedom of speech as an inherent right intrinsic to all humans that needs no justification for its exercise, but if you want to explore a functional defense of freedom of speech look into the arguments of John Stuart Mill in On Liberty.

These are not people's private homes, they are PUBLIC universities financed by our tax dollars. You liberals of all people should know the difference since you scream for government control of everything.

There's bigger fish to fry. She should protest the real world elite who pull the divisive political strings

Remember: Its only free speech If its liberal. Otherwise, its hate speech
