No, it isn't hilarious, it's frightening.

[@shaggytheshaman]

Except that they LITERALLY said that these people should be allowed to talk, but that doesn't mean they're not allowed to criticize the things they say. It's kinda silly that the only way you can disagree with these people is by pretending they've said something when they literally said the exact opposite of that thing. They aren't saying that people aren't allowed to say certain things, they're saying that they disagree with the things those people are saying. Disagreeing with and criticizing somebody isn't the same thing as saying they "shouldn't be allowed to talk." Destiny disagrees with and criticizes people all the time -- does this mean that Destiny has also gone too far? If you actually paid attention to the video, you'd see these people affirming repeatedly that they DO think these people should be allowed to talk, but that there are generally social repurcussions as well as ideological responses when you say things that people disagree with.

[@NdxtremePro]

@@shaggytheshaman And Destiny is saying those repercussions should not be the loss of job or their silencing in the college setting.

[@tomyao7884]

@@shaggytheshaman When free speech has "repercussions" as you so put it, depending on what those "repercussions" are, I would argue that the speech at some point ceases to be free. In an authoritarian dictatorship, say in stalin or hitler's countries in WW2, people had the freedom to say whatever they wanted. The "repercussion" in that case was imprisonment or death. That I think you would agree is not free speech. If the "repercussion" to speech is less severe, say the loss of your job and being socially excluded, I would still hesistate to characterise that speech as free. The 1st amendment of the US constitution only promises lack of legal prosecution for free speech in a public space. But a college campus should be a place that includes a diversity of ideas and should not be deplatforming, persecuting, and firing individuals who have a different viewpoint from the majority. Of course, companies have the legal freedom to fire people based on most reasons, but to use this power to exclude people with a rhetoric you don't agree with is counter to the ideals of what a college should be. My point, and I think the points of most people here, is not that people should not disagree with unpopular opinions, but that people with unpopular opinions should not have their livelihoods taken away or be deplatformed in a university setting. Whatever the law says you are technically allowed to do, if your reaction to a dissenting opinions is the destroy their livelihood, I don't think that is promoting free speech.

[@brad1928]

The fact that all of these students fail to see the value in free-speech is absolutely astonishing. It isn’t just about their right to speak their thoughts, it’s also about your right to be able to hear those thoughts! You’re basically asking to have society censored because you’re too weak minded to reason through bad ideas. These conversations just depress me. They make me concerned for our future.. anyone who doesn’t support freedom of speech isn’t a freaking liberal, they align with fascism

Or the Hispanic guy losing his job because he sat in his car, having his arm out of the window, scratching his cuticles, while waiting for a BLM protest to pass by. He was accused of doing a White P* handsign. It was a 4chan hoax which was picked up by the media saying the👌(okay) was a secret WP handsign. So many people got in trouble for it. Soldiers, an ICE agent (who actually fights trafficking) etc... Edit: Destiny just mentioned it as well.

[@goose9515]

Well I mean it's more complicated than that, sex is determined by hormones, and the hormones you get are decided by your set of sex chromosomes. So for the vast majority yeah, but there's other things that affect sex too. I don't think the professor you are talking abt should've been fired, but maybe one of the students were trans and they were offended by how he was teaching sex in a rudimentary way, like if your old science teacher in middle school was saying how homosexuality is unnatural (a more accepted point at the time) and then some kids walked out of the class

[@firstnamelastname2197]

@@goose9515 sex, as a purely biological matter, IS decided by chromosomes. a female can never have a Y chromosome. with Swyer's syndrome, where males develop female parts, those parts are functionless--they cannot, by their nature, bear children or menstruate. it is a deformity. socially speaking, culturally, it may be problematic to describe such a person as a "male". because the secondary sex characteristics of the female are so strong in them, this will in their social reality likely cause them to have an authentic affinity with womanhood and space should be made for such people. but to state a blunt biological fact that chromosomes essentially define your sex is not problematic. the fact that XY chromosomes can cover those who appear male and those who outwardly appear female might actually be interpreted as inclusive--and consistent.

Bret never said he was going to give a lecture on "race realism" he said "a discussion of race through a scientific / evolutionary lens". Letting her frame it this way makes it seem like he was a white nationalist professor. Even if you hate Bret for his covid opinions, this is completely wrong and Destiny should have never conceded that.

[@acew2306]

I honestly can't fathom the lack of charitability on that woman's part, she legitimately insinuated that Brett would lecture IN SUPPORT of race realism. Yes, he built his life and career at one of the most liberal institutions in the United States, and it was all a big ruse. He really was just a Jewish Nazi or white supremacist the entire time. He probably was going to touch on race realism, but to think he wasn't going to focus on giving the audience the tools to dissect and debunk it is absurd. It's the same bad faith attitude that is responsible for the controversy.

[@memesneverdie3826]

It doesnt matter to them. They think saying theres any difference between population groups beyond skin color is "race realism" and automatically "white supremacy" (never mind the fact, on average east asians are more intelligent than europeans and certain african populations are more athletic than europeans so even if you bought wholly into "race realism," "white people" wouldnt be "supreme"). They're no different than creationists, they dont believe in evolution, dont believe in evolutionary pressures based on geography, available diet, anything. Actually, maybe talking to a creationist would be better. At least the creationist can account for differences and just say "Well God made it that way."

[@HazeMotes]

@@natediaz1863 It is relevant because it makes it look like there were legitimate reasons to bully Bret out of his job. Calling for a professor to resign because he wants to hold a lecture on why whites are superior is not the same as calling for them to resign because they didn't want certain students to be forced to stay home because of the color of their skin.

[@Trapping_ackbar7]

Exactly, she made that up. It would have been even more interesting for destiny to prod that, since her thought process was "evolution + race = race realism" leaving no room for debate.

Just from some of her expressions, she acted like it pained her to just hear his argument. Then again, she wasn’t willing to hear another side. That was never her intention. People like that engaging in these things walk into it with the sole intent of getting a “hah gotcha” and trying to pull the other person to _their_ side - never the other way around. They don’t understand that these types of conversations are meant to have *both* sides come to the table with an open mind to have an honest conversation where either side could walk away with different views. It’s not a debate, just two people conversing. She sat down with a wall up, ready to be defensive with no will to genuinely engage with someone that thinks differently or even believe that she could potentially be wrong.

The first girl is well-spoken, but some confuse good public speaking with good ideas. Also, Destiny makes a good point about whether we as a society should want people like Bret Weinstein to talk about topics as controversial as race over those like Nick Fuentes. The girl doesn't attack the idea but rather lazily dismisses it: "That's a low bar." Sure lady, but his point stands that by alienating and segregating sane and articulate individuals from the cultural debate, we elevate those most radical and dogmatic. This is why the left has become so radical and orthodox, and why the right is now responding likewise. Props to Destiny, one of the few reasonable progressives left. It's unfortunate that people focus more on public speaking rather than the core ideas of the argument. The best essay is the most concise.

If you're not getting laws passed, then what you're doing is pointless? This is so childish and naive. Would a company like framework even be able to sell a computer when the specs are lower and the price is higher than competing brands, if people were not made culturally aware of why right to repair is important over the past 10 years? Further, does she not understand that law is downstream from culture? You do not have to get a law passed to have an impact. People behave not just based on what is written in a law book, but from what is in their own mind and ingrained into their culture. If you want to make a difference, you don't start with a law. You start with people's minds, and the culture. She makes the idea of cultural change in a positive direction sound pointless while simultaneously managing to be as condescending as possible about the fact that he discusses these issues on KZbin as if this is a win. I hope this woman never embarks on a journey to change the world with that attitude.

The thing I noticed in terms of differences between the left and the right is like Destiny said, the right is far more often way more open to dialogue. Even if that is simply for the purpose of trying to prove their point or sway someone. But when you look at the left they really do tend to have the "we cant/wont talk about this/to these people". They seem to paint conservatives as lost causes and dont even welcome discourse and differing opinions in hopes of changing someones mind or winning someone over. Almost like unless you agree you are simply below a dialogue because youre just beyond "saving". Thats why wokeism has gone to far, you have a whole group of people in this country that hold themselves as such a moral superior that they think what they believe and think is above discussing or thinking about, and those who disagree are legitimately dangerous. In terms of policy there isnt much yet, but the social aspect has an effect on policy eventually. Thats how it works. How many times did our parents tell us to do or not do something and when asked why all we got was "because I said so". How much rebellion and resentment did that cause and how many of us grew up with the desire to be different and to explain our thought processes to our kids so they would understand and not hide behind the power and superiority of "well Im the parent". Sometimes you should justify yourself as a means to bring understanding.

[@MidWitPride]

To me it seems like the right wing sees their own beliefs primarily as logically correct, while the left sees their own beliefs as morally correct. This doesn't mean that rightwingers are automatically logical or leftwingers moral, but the right being open to debates means that they believe that if they make a convincing enough argument, people will change their minds. While among the left it is more common to assume the disagreements to stem from the moral failings of the opposition, so convincing them with arguments seem pointless to them, as there is fundamentally something wrong with those who disagree. Like trying to explain to a serial killer that murder is bad.

[@ipmk6313]

@@MidWitPride I can definitely see that. And I do agree that neither is guaranteed to be the very thing they see themselves as. And I do think that rightwingers should not look for dialogue for the sole reason of changing minds, but be willing to change their mind or simply have to discussion for discussions sake. But I will take any willingness to hear each other out over turning noses up and acting like the opposition is below saving or not worth engaging with. All that does is foster more hatred and build more walls. Rightwingers thinking the left isn’t logical and can potentially be reasoned with is a far healthier starting point than the left just labeling conservatives as immoral monsters. I at least see a lot of wanting to meet somewhere in the middle on the right, not so much on the left.

[@brentwalker8596]

The corrupt right wing Supreme Court and the entire white Christian power structure would contradict your assertion. Right wingers want to have discussions because they want to rehash topics that have long been settled. It's no coincidence that neo Nazis, flat earth, creationism, militant Christian nationalism, QAnon are a idea movements that have gained ground over the past decade. The right doesn't want good faith debate. It wants to undermine progress and roll back advances made over the past fifty or more years. Roe is just one of many progressive wins that dark money and organizations such as The Heritage Foundation have destroyed by flooding the social media space with bad faith arguments and BS "debates". Sorry Candace, I don't need to debate the pros and cons of the Nazis to know that they were horrible. No debate needed.

"Why was Andrew Tate banned from all social media platforms at the same time? Conspiracy!?!?" Andrew Tate's content violated the terms of agreement on all social media platforms. Not only that, but almost none of his content failed to violate the terms of agree of each social media platform. Not only that, but all of Tate's content exploded in popularity, was at the forefront of conversation, and was highlighted by the general public making it content that all humans in content mediation positions in had it at the top of their list. Andrew Tate getting banned from the internet isn't a controversial thing. For right wingers just use Tate as an opportunity to say that the leftists are out of control with cancel culture. Braindead agenda pushing. It's weird that Jordan Peterson and Andrew Tate are being used in the same conversation. They are completely different people with completely different viewpoints. Leftists hate Jordan Peterson, and his college campus gave him the boot, but he hasn't been silenced. Twitter banned him because they were a bunch of leftist activists, but that was Twitter, not the internet. Tate was banned because he was a piece of shit and violated terms and conditions with misogyny in almost all of his content.

He made a claim, then he was going to back it up with either data or anecdotes. He didnt have data. So she asked for the anecdote, and after hearing it, was unconvinced.

[@glasshalffull2930]

Precisely why free speech is so necessary. Ideas are presented and can be discussed and their worth determined. I cannot recall his name, but a wacky British candidate was doing really well until he debated and many realized he was nutty and his campaign collapsed.

This actually speaks directly to the second guys point that college kids will not be able to defend their point. And people like you most likely already in agreement with the expert and people that are on fence can be further drawn in by what can be percieved as a win by the expert, when in reality he is shooting fish in a barrel. Where I find destiny missed the mark is that yes these conversations can spark deeper digging by some, but this will forever be like an NBA player coming to a college campus to challenge randoms to 1 on 1. They will never be prepared and even a student group dedicated to one topic will never be ready to face the best voices on a topic in the world. Nor should they be. So in reality this is a farming mission more than an opening of minds because the expert will be racking in recruits with the help of the college opposition signing up to help him.

[@rijjhb9467]

Exactly. To be specific the "slave" guy said it's OK to be angry and use violence against people.who say terrible and hateful stuff about certain demographics. He basically argued that it's OK to use violence against feminists that say terrible stuff against men. Or LGBT activists that say terrible stuff about straight white men. I don't think this is what he'd like to happen.

[@rouninpanda6318]

​@@rijjhb9467 You and I both know what he really means is violence is only ok in one direction. Anyone who is some combo of white, "model Asian", male, straight, non-trans, elderly, conservative, libertarian, liberal, capitalist, or judeo-christian.

I heard about destiny from Tim pool. I thought he would be super woke far left extreme. He actually sounds very reasonable here. I agree with him.

[@catalyst3713]

This shit is so frustrating. These people are always goalpostshifting. First they say it's not happening. Then they say it's happening, but not enough to worry about. Then they say it's happening on a larger scale, but it's actually a good thing.

[@jpa_fasty3997]

Yep, it's a game of finding whichever argument allows them to paint wokeness in a favourable light. They don't argue from first principles, or some set of strong values they hold, they argue from the assumption that what they're doing is good--and with that box ticked, they can argue in favour of just about any draconian tactics. I feel a lot of these people have a low resolution idea of what 'good' is and what it means to be a 'good person', and that is why they espouse the views they do, because they want to be a positive force/a good person, without ever really interrogating the ideals and narratives they are pushing, or what the implications are of the authoritarian methods that progressives are generally gravitating towards. It is very frustrating, but it is instilled dogmatically from a young age and I'm not sure what the antidote is.

[@VeritableSmorgasbord]

@JPA_Fantasy You seem to be describing people on both sides, which is to say human nature

[@jpa_fasty3997]

​@@VeritableSmorgasbord Yep but the place where 'human nature' enters in, isn't the whole part of the argument I'm making. The reason those elements of human nature are so pertinent to my argument is that the side of 'wokeism' is developing an unprecedented ignorance to these fallibilities. Since the culture they are promoting is so much more dogmatic, authoritarian, quasi-religious, rigid etc., it promotes a culture that doesn't allow space to recognise any possibility of being wrong (see: shut down of dissenting opinions, the need to control discourse, cancelling etc). It promotes a feeling that the cause they support is inherently good and therefore measures taken against the apostates are also good and justifiable. (Tying into this is a dehumanization of the other side to justify otherwise amoral ways of treating people.) It completely goes against the underlying humility which lies at the bedrock of democracy and liberalism which both include a tolerance for a diverse set of views and the ability to challenge and be challenged. Once you think in these binaries of good vs evil, without any recognition of the complexity of the human condition or further still how a tolerant/harmonious society functions, then you are on a very bad trajectory. I wouldn't think I was going out on a limb at all to say that much of that which I am describing is happening within in the progressive movement at far higher rates than any other significant political denomination you can think of. In fact, a whole generation is being encouraged and even taught to act in this way.

[@safs3098]

I've experienced this too but with the great replacement theory. There's statistical data proving that it's a demographic certainty with current trends but they still deny it, once I put forward basic numbers they say "oh it's too slow to actually happen" I get into numbers in detail showing how it can happen in just 3 generations and they say "oh well maybe these trends will change" then I get into how it's just gonna get faster and they go "ok, why do you care? Racist" and it's so frustrating.

@@jamesharper5850 No tenured philosopher would agree that /only/ positive claims require substantiation. The fact is that ALL claims (positive or negative) assume the same burden of proof. He claims (X), he has assumed a burden of proof. She claims (not-X), she has assumed a burden of proof. The belief that "only positive claims assume a burden of proof" is remarkable evidence of the lack of basic philosophical grounding among youth today.

[@alejandrofranco3320]

She explained at the beggining that she was not going to make any sort of positive arguments, she then proceeded to dismiss Destiny's examples as "anecdotes" (very funny coming from the side that is all about "lived experience" in academia) and problematize Destiny's questioning as some sort of dangerous thing. She did not provide any opinions of her own, nor will she be able to. She has Critical Consciousness (i.e wokeness)

I really hate when people insist on assuming they know what people "mean" when they say something. It is the highest form of bad faith arguing in my opinion. And my brain instantly shuts off anyone that jumps to the conclusion of the "dog whistle". Because that means, no matter what is said to them, they already have their opinion formed not only for themselves, but also the person they are talking/arguing with.

I appreciate that Destiny is willing to try to draw a distinction between policy and culture when it comes to having a conversation. I get that at the ballot box, they're one and the same, but it's a step above the likes of Vaush, Hasan, and Ethan Klein that he at least RECOGNIZES that there's a gap there.

Destinys is growing on me. From what I understand from the limited videos I’ve watched, Destiny primarily cares for the idea of “do what makes you happy as long as it doesn’t effect others negatively, and truth is key” and Obviously those are good points to stand beside however I drift off a little bit with my opinion because I think health and wellness and primarily more important than “what makes you happy” because in the modern world things that make people happy can ruin the body and promote a dysfunctional society
