Rights on paper are worthless if there is no power behind them, and the rights of the US Constitution have never been meaningfully extended to non-white people.

Conte: “Are we even, pro-free speech?” Spencer: “No. Of course not.”

Well free speech for them… not so much for anyone else.

Well free speech for them… not so much for anyone else.

I’d say they want free speech for their dear leaders, but once they have their full fledged fourth reich, the rank and file will be expected to shut up and go along with whatever people like Spencer say.

Freedom of the press…

Stabbed at a neo-Nazi rally, called a criminal: how police targeted a black...

Chaos and violence quickly erupted. The neo-Nazis were the aggressors, O’Bannon recalled: “It was clear who was trying to attack me and who was trying to defend me.” Police later identified at least seven TWP men who were armed with knives.

One white supremacist with a long pole broke O’Bannon’s camera rig, knocking his GoPro to the ground, he said, adding that when he went to pick up his equipment from the ground, that was when he was speared on the right side of his body.

Police, he alleged, did little to protect him and others from the stabbings: “They let this battle go down.”

O’Bannon was soon rushed to a hospital, where he became worried that police would confiscate his footage, which could aid in revealing his perpetrator. When he awoke after surgery, his memory card was gone. Police left a note saying they had seized it as evidence.

When he eventually got his property back, he said, the card was empty, leading him to suspect police wiped it. Police denied erasing the footage.

An interesting quote from one of the heroes of the Freeze Peach movement:

To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.

Evergreen became a crucible for the campus wars in March of 2017, when evolutionary biologist Bret Weinstein spoke against anti-racist protests and activities on campus. As a result, Weinstein claims, he was targeted with physical and verbal harassment. Last September, he and his wife, biologist Heather Heying, sued the university for failing to protect them from harassment. Evergreen admitted no wrongdoing, but settled for $500,000, and Weinstein and Heying left their positions on the faculty. Since then, Weinstein has become a poster boy for those who want to paint left-wing students as intolerant totalitarians. The couple’s posture of martyrdom has also led to lush, credulous treatments in the press: Weinstein and Heying were recently photographed at night standing moodily in front of shrubbery along with other free-speech warriors in the New York Times.

Recent events at Evergreen, though, suggest a different narrative. Weinstein’s story is not one about out-of-control leftist students silencing professors. Rather, it’s a story about how professors who align with right-wing media can shape university policy, while sidelining and demonizing students. “Free speech,” wielded in bad faith by right-wing media, can turn into a gag to silence student protests and activism.

Opinion | Meet the Renegades of the Intellectual Dark Web (Published 2018)

The closest thing to a phone book for the I.D.W. is a sleek website that lists the dramatis personae of the network, including Mr. Harris; Mr. Weinstein and his brother and sister-in-law, the evolutionary biologists Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying; Jordan Peterson, the psychologist and best-selling author; the conservative commentators Ben Shapiro and Douglas Murray; Maajid Nawaz, the former Islamist turned anti-extremist activist; and the feminists Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Christina Hoff Sommers. But in typical dark web fashion, no one knows who put the website up.

By the way, this is Weinstein’s brother and media partner. The idea that Bret Weinstein is an avid Democrat who is merely concerned about free speech is bunk.

Boo-fucking-hoo, Milo.

And yet still he attacks the media. That couldn’t be a pattern, though.

Yes, I am being sarcastic. I know it’s a pattern and part of a playbook strategy.

I think I’m going to just start calling fascists ‘Republicans’ instead of ‘Nazis’ since it’s pretty clear that the party’s members* are making every effort to displace their historical predecessors for that referenced title.

*The Republican party, to be clear. I know, I know, these days it sometimes gets confusing, what with self-avowed Nazis running for office these days.
