Imagine getting triggered over a broad question about anal sex. Whether you’re gay or straight, if you don’t have an answer to give without getting angry & defensive, maybe you shouldn’t be doing open forum Q&A’s.

Or maybe employ some speakers who are more honest & capable.

I’m very chill & moderate. Much less angry & negative than a lot of these campus conservatives. But they don’t want to converse with, book or debate me. They want to call everyone who disagrees with them “trolls” & censor out opposition.

It’s a really bad strategy.

I actually think that they are fueling & growing the exact group they think they are censoring & fighting. They can’t figure out why they get ratio’d on all their posts now that mention certain topics.

I know exactly why. But no one listens to me, debates me or books me.

It’s the same strategy of the left. You can’t censor out, mislabel, run away from & hate on those who disagree with you. That’s why Trump’s people are so powerful.

So you have face the reality that millions of conservatives don’t agree with your brand of conservatism. Can’t run.

Daryl Davis got hundreds of KKK members to quit the KKK. He did so by engaging with them. They were much, much more extreme.

So by falsely labeling everyone a homophobe and an anti-Semite, you’re actually just growing those groups. npr.org/2017/08/20/544…

There is no racial, ethnic or political group that’s above self-accountability.

So if you’re brand is “we fight political correctness & censorship” and you really play political correctness games too & censor those you deem too far, who are you really fooling?

Identity politics is used just as much on the right as the left. The mainstream right bans people from events for cartoons or speculations on Judaism. They think they can just run away from, censor, blacklist & ban legitimate concerns from different conservatives.

Won’t work.

As someone extremely relaxed & peaceful, I don’t really watch the mainstream conservatives. Boring. Predictable. Hypocritical. Identity politics galore. Constantly lose debates to people further right so they just run away from, blacklist & mislabel them.

It’s pretty lame.

I’m myself. I’m not responsible for people I talk to, debate with or take pictures with. Yet, even conservatives will try to ruin your life over a photo.

But I can actually get through to these people because I’m not a liar. They have been thrown in a corner by both sides.

And among what you may think is hateful or mean or bigoted... they bring up topics that most won’t touch. And conservatives only want to debate blue-haired feminists so they freak out & start trying to censor them out of existence.

How is that an intellectual response?

Although I don’t like their attitude, mindset or overall views, I think these people are running circles around the campus conservatives. Because most campus conservatives aren’t that honest, unique, fair or reasonable. It’s like a big club you can’t be in if you are honest.

So good luck canceling Q&A’s, getting ratio’d & growing the right wingers that you think you’re fighting. They aren’t going anywhere. You can’t censor them. They have points to make, and quite frankly, make a lot of you look soft, fake, weak & hypocritical.

Debate. Don’t censor.

The mainstream right wing is coming out of the closet. They are only anti-censorship & pro-free speech... if they agree with you. If not, they will call you racist, homophobic, bigoted & work to try to blacklist, censor, silence, defund & banish you just as quick as the left.

But just remember, what comes around goes around.

Ben Garrison condemned the “anti-Semitic” cartoon from NYT. Shortly after, he got banned from a White House event for an anti-Semitic cartoon.

Right wingers get called anti-Semitic for making fun of Adam Schiff now. Karma?

I’m not being mean. I’m just saying consider this thread. If you don’t... you might figure out that I’m not wrong sooner than later. If you haven’t already figured it out. I’m trying to actually help you.
