    Only governments can censor.
    If a private company doesn't want your content because it hurts their brand thats marketing and capitalism not censorship.

    Interesting piece on me too movement. In Irish edition Sunday times. Back to1973.
    Basically a lot of firms no longer hiring women for fear of being accused of harrasment.
    I think the initial movement had it's heart in the right place even if Hollywood stars in black dresses with tits hanging out made a bit of a joke of it.
    However the continuing dumping of unsubstantiated allegations has damaged it. Natural justice thrown out the window. False allegations have been found to have been made
    Liberals just as much as conservatives love jumping on a bandwagon. Especially when they feel they have the whip hand. It's a lynch mob mentality

    Funny how Leftists are now trying to co-opt libertarianism with their own take on it when it suits their agenda to censor the right.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 691 ✭✭✭DS86DS


    Jesus these days anyone slightly to the right of Stalin is a bigot.

    Today's Leftists are aching for the kind of power that Stalin had. Any means to silence their opponents and they will do it

    Hardly co-opting libertarianism. If a website doesn't want to host content. They're not obliged and I've never heard anyone argue otherwise.

    It's like Cards Against Humanity with you. "The Leftists are...." - followed by random surreal comment pulled out of a box.

    "The leftists are... a windmull full of dead babies."

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Whatever.

    Let's listen to what an actual long time Libertarian has to say on the issue and not left wing mouthpieces revelling in the silencing of their opponents.

    And yes, Stefan Molyneaux is an actual intelligent long time Libertarian who understands classical economics and political philosophy unlike some of the brain dead Leftists beating about the bush

    The thing is though, Right and Left are economic poles not social, relating purely to ownership of means of production/wealth. Parties proclaiming to be "left" blindly supporting something like uncontrolled immigration/open borders I find bizarre given that such policies favour only the owners of capital, leading to wage deflation via increased competition etc. A very strange philosophy. No one knows what they are anymore.

    Define liberal.

    In the states today anyone left of Ted Cruz is called a liberal. We have people here using the words communist, socialist and liberal hand in hand as if they describe same thing

    Stefan Molyneaux is one of the predominant Libertarian and Conservative speakers on YouTube, not just some random bloke.

    Did you even bother to watch the video?

    My number 1 gripe is the way they go bananas when somebody isn't up to date on "the rule" and using the wrong language turns you into a pariah.
    Very 1984.

    In a funny way they are the catholic church they profess to hate


    You should laugh and say it's all Americanisms on the internet...but it's an infection.
    Our recent abortion law was changed from pregnant women to pregnant person. The actual law of the land is now fully of this sh1te, tax money wasted on this

    You need to recalibrate your hate sensors. One minute you're giving out about liberals then leftists, which is it? This Stefan Molyneaux person is a libertarian and a conservative, which is it.

    If you're going to throw around terms, you should probably learn what they mean.

    Mod: Don't post in this thread again.

    Reason: posting relentlessly posting videos and contributing nothing of substance to the thread other than vague generalisations.

    I think it's very clear at this point that the poster can't actually post their own thoughts, instead resorting to soundbites and youtube links.

    I'm no fan of having alternative views censored, but they can at least provide actual debate like some posters of the past did, before they ran off to their circle jerk forum on Voat.

    Mate, please. Read some well regarded philosophy and political theory books instead. These YouTube talking men are almost all completely full of **** and you're doing yourself a massive disservice by taking them at their word. They are snake oil salesmen and you are becoming stupider as a result of ingesting their content.

    I think Christopher Hitches didn't like Liberals or Femminists.

    He suggested eventually we'll be so silenced that we won't be able to say anything, unless it's in accordance to the liberal agenda.

    Liberals seem to have an agenda on the sexualisation of society.

    But then can't tollerate good old fashioned flirting or a wolfwhistle.

    What a contradiction, I think it's gone mad Ted.

    Sometime in the future you'll have a group starting up of men and women who'll be recovering femminists or liberals.

    Because I kicked that to the kirb maybe three years ago, I realised living like one of those new age hippies or so called liberal guy's wasn't productive.

    Always looking to be offended, getting anxiety and feeling like a victim.....

    Not anymore, a man is a man and a woman's a woman.

    Simple as.

    Gema O'Doherty tweeted this video has been banned and included a link to the video in it!

    It would be a long drawn out debate if we were to get into it, it would just go round in circles.

    We'll leave it there, you can draw your own conclusion.

    I'm just getting a point across.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,939 ✭✭✭20Cent


    I've a theory that a lot of what irks freeze peach hysteria comes from other right wingers trolling and winding them up.

    For example the recent HSE are banning staff from calling patients love or by nicknames. All that came from right wing shock jocks who can't read a report properly. Same with Fairy Tale of New York and It's cold outside. There was another video of a woman in Russia pouring bleach on mens crotches if they were man spreading. Video was totally setup but used as if all "liberals" are for it.

    Social media amplifies these views so it seems like there is some large group of people who want to ban words etc. Most of the amplification comes from other right wingers who want to portray liberals as anti free speech and irrational just to big up their own views.

    You aren't getting any point across when nobody (or not everyone) knows what you're talking about. Again - would you please explain what you mean?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 3,315 ✭✭✭nthclare


    Simple as, some Liberals love pushing their protest to the limit by dressing up seductivly to get their point across, but yet they're insulted when someone blow's a wolf whistle or something similar.

    Like gay pride, men marching around in bondage gear in public just to get a point across, but yet if someone slagged one off or mentioned the F word people would get very offended...

    Do word's speak louder than actions, or actions speak louder than words ?

    I watched a couple of those video's. The guys a good rhetorical speaker. The problem is that his discussions are all based on ideas that are taken for granted without establishing them. He'll even jump from a->c without establishing what b is. It's pure sophistry but it's extremely well presented. I can see why a right winger would like him.

    No, they're not.

    The purple haired so called SJWs are not the extreme left. They are a mad off shoot of the left. The extreme left support free speech as am absolute right.

    Don't let the anti PC nonsense redefine what extreme left and right are. Extreme right are fascists, extreme left can be anarchists, libertarian socialists on old school Leninist.
