Survey: student attitudes about diversity and inclusion vs. free speech are shifting

You mean the guy who said that the wealthy are wealthy because of their high IQ and that the rest of us aren’t rich because of our low IQ? You know… like Trump. The guy who said that this was a result of their genetic makeup? The guy who got his data from explicitly racist scientists paid by the Pioneer Fund which was founded by a Nazi sympathizer, eugenicists, and advocates of white racial superiority? The guy who says that the racist pseudo-scientists he cites “are some of the most respected psychologists of our time”? That guy? Yeah not a Nazi. Just a guy who parrots Nazi and white supremacist ideology.

Of course not. It was just an innocent and earnest call to dismiss based on a logical fallacy.

For the capitalism/communism point, that’s simply because a nations choice to operate with a particular set of economic rules applied justly to all is not a rational analogy for the creation of a system whereby people are forced to support and participate in speech they reject.

For the LBGTQ argument, you are attempting to compare a public business refusing to sell their product to a person in a discriminatory manner with a public business being forced to allow someone to enter their business and sell their own product. The difference should need no explanation.
