Oxford Union is actually beginning to scare me! Katie Hopkins?? Take a look at her Wikipedia page and try to swallow the fact that this is someone that Oxford University sees as a reasonable representative of conservative opinion. I have never in my life been so happy to not be associated in any way with Oxford. If you're going to have Katie Hopkins at Oxford Union debates why not Alex Jones or the current Grand Wizard of Ku Klux Klan, or just cut to the chase and just hold your debates at Broadmoor?

Yep totally agree, I remember when I first saw her on Alan sugars apprentice, she WON the position hands down but Lord sugar asked her did she really need this job as her current job paid her the same salary if not she was already earning a tad more so she did the Nobel thing and pulled out so her colleague who came so close in 2nd place take the role as she was totally cable and the salary would give her and her family a life changing amount of money each month, roughy about 7500k per month after tax and NI taken.

[@enforcer1]

And in August 2024, more than ever!

[@ChuddmasterZero]

Katie’s final point is all that needs to be said. We either want a world where we put others in a position to decide what we are allowed to hear, or we expose ourselves to all opinion and ideas in the search for a broader understanding with our own reason and intelligence as a guide to deciding what to embrace and what to discard. It is nothing less than hubris to claim you can assess and evaluate ideas without a genuine attempt to listen to and understand them.

[@brynleytalbot778]

ChuddmasterZero Sadly this world is dawning. The result depicted in 1984 is effected by the means in Brave New World. Debate is reduced to a mere expletive laden line in the comments section. It's facile to ever think social media gives us a platform. Very few, even here, write after thinking and analysing the issues raised. Intelligence is feared. Ignorance is promoted. I don't like the class ridden depiction of the dinner suited and evening gowned and I'm rather happy to see it disappear in the audience. But that's where we are. Dress an ignorant imbecile in a suit and they're a crowning glory in business. We've put image before any sane interpretation of potential and ability. And that's why free speech collapses. Our narcissism is resplendent in its superior grandiose enforcement of right and wrong because they are, above all else, right. Narcissists don't debate or agree to differ. They are always right. Is that the society we want? Full of weak Influencers? Sadly, it seems we do.

De platforming is a COWARDS WAY of winning an argument, debate is the answer not cowering behind silence.

[@erikthenorviking8251]

No Platforming is, quite simply, the modern-day equivalent of the book-burning that took place in the 30s.

[@kronckew]

Deplatforming does not win a debate, it avoids it by denying the opposing view the same rights you insist on for yourself. Having a debate where only one side is allowed to express themselves is not a debate at all. To make electricity flow, you need at least two opposite poles. magnitism allows for many poles, and is stronger for it. What a boring world where everyone is equal, equally intelligent, equally paid, equally employed equally unimportant, equally alone with nothing to say because everyone already knows everything equally. Equal opportunity rather than uniformity, and the right to disagree are vital.

@John Sinclair we live in an illusion, hollywood is providing the circus entertainment and TV is providing the daily dose of psycho programming. You're bread is provided by debts and credit cards that keep us in slavery.

[@samualcrocket1405]

@@secondamerican9183 Not all but Hollywood as a whole consider themselves to be the elite and looks down on the working class who might think that they are their equal. At the same time they champion the the underclass who worship their star status. They feel that the only way they can maintain their elitism to make sure others are considered less than them. They have formed a socialist/globalist open border alliance who want to overwhelm western civilization with third world victims.

Word. I prefer to speak with a kinder firmness than she, but I respect her defiance.

@@hummingbirdcity Yes, she is a free speech activist defending freedom within a den of Marxist professors and their students. People with a kinder firmness normally do not have the courage to do something like that.

You should platform anyone, imagine if they had Adolf Hitler doing a speech. Everyone would think this bloke is a nutter and this is the point.

[@rhysperegrine5100]

Hitler actually gave quite a few speeches while alive. On the whole his audiences seemed quite keen.

[@baigandinel7956]

Hitler may have been able to captivate an audience, but ultimately he relied on no platforming and subverting the rule of law to consolidate whatever political gains he may have made, not freedom of speech.

Katie Hopkins is undeniably playful and meticulous. I would not want to spar with her in a boxing ring. If the Right, Centre, and the Left were to work together to slay harmful and costly ideas and to lessen the hardships of others, such a moment in time would be wonderful.

[@richf6111]

the deeliciousplum With a comment like that , I think you would be the perfect person to spar with Katie. Peel away that playful , meticulous veneer , ... I think you will find she is a clever puppet. A useful resource for the power brokers who ensure that window dressers attract custom , but end up selling the items in the back room , leaving the best deals for themselves and associates. Mr. Benn was indulged with wonderful adventures, but his entry and exit into the same costume shop was always accompanied by the same shopkeeper... as if by magik.
