Your error is you seem uncomfortable accepting that knowledge is situated in particular places and contexts. You don't get that values and morals related to textual interpretation vary across cultures. Your interpretation exists within and facilitates systems of colonial expansion, capitalist...

Maybe that's what it means to a member of the cis-het exclusionary imperialist white male binary gender dominant colonialist right-wing Christian patriarchy dominated by western science. But that interpretation utterly fails to include the perspective of indigenous people like me. Don't you...

Literally. Literally. Literally penetrated. And exploited. Stimulated, dominated, penetrated. The ice cores. I'm talking about ice cores.This study is a treasure-trove. It's marvelous. Do this one: But keep it simple. Remember I'm not a feminist glaciologist.

Who took the platform and why. If The Committee to Pick a Commencement Speaker dis-invites someone under pressure from activists, I think I would have to admit no one's free speech is being violated. Even if I have a lot of strong words to say about it and oppose it on other grounds, like not...

It is possible to violate free speech by taking someone's platform. It is also possible that taking someone's platform does not violate free speech. Access to platforms and free speech are related fields but not literally the same thing. Who is taking the platform and why? The fact that it...

So free speech is a dog whistle but you can't tell me what for. You're telling us all about free speech but you can't give us any description whatever of how it works on real world campuses. Free speech is a self-defeating concept because, for reasons unknown, venue operators will overbook...

I definitely don't think The Force Awakens is another Phantom Menace, but it doesn't really feel like Star Wars to me either. It's a J.J. Abrams film. That's a huuuuge improvement on latter-day Lucas. But it's a J.J. Abrams film, and that's not something I'm going to get really excited about...

My free speech is ordinary, vanilla. I think it's you who is wrong about what free speech is and how it works in a practical setting. How does free speech work as you understand it on college campuses? Mohammed's hairy asshole be praised (pbuh). Well who are you exactly, Rachel Maddow? It's...

That's up to the inviter. What, disrupt themselves? Do you think that will happen? Has it ever happened? You haven't explained how I mis-characterized you argument. Is it fair to say I characterized it with perfect accuracy? If so, will you apologize for calling me a liar? Don't...

If you can't explain the difference between what these posters support and "these people should not be able to speak because the majority of the people do not want them to speak" then I'm just going to say that there is no difference. The view that you insinuate no one supports is actually...

Sorry but I don't follow. If I'm wrong then please explain why. I suspect I'm actually right though, and that's what I'm going to suppose if you don't have a counterpoint.

Well there's Slice up there. Then there is Richard Gozin-Yu who I responded to. Im Lang who I also responded to thinks it should be democratically decided who will be permitted. I've seen several people in this thread who think free speech is subject to democratic review, which is simply a...

I don't get this argument at all. CNN doesn't give a shit what Arctic Werewolf has to say, therefore abolish free speech. I am just so baffled by the train of thought here. It seems like once you go down the no-platform rabbit hole, you forget what the whole idea of free speech was all about...

Are you seriously correcting me for responding to a post before you edited it? For the record, I am not going to be waiting around to see if you edit your posts. I'm not going to PM you to find out if it's done yet. So type fast, get it right the first time or better yet, just be reasonable...

I was about to post this: You know I was responding to your post correctly as it was originally posted. Please do not make insinuations of underhandedness that you know to be baseless. I'm sorry I responded to your post before you had a chance to edit it, but these things will happen. It...
