It is necessary, but it isn't sufficient nor is it the end objective. <br /><br />In fact, it seems to me that through this "alliance" the proper end objective is being made clear to more people than would otherwise be the case.bionic mosquitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002548958078731031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-52923263357682857462019-10-31T05:42:21.736-07:002019-10-31T05:42:21.736-07:00All good points.

Don't call them out for their tactic (shutting down conservative speech), call them out for their end game (hellfare state). I mean, draw attention to the tactics, of course, but keep the focus on the undesirability of where they want to take us.<br /><br />Push the branches aside and hack at the roots.<br /><br />Having said that, I applaud everyone who battles the ideas of the left.A Texas Libertarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02980539931923054404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-52604603038160490532019-10-31T05:07:52.448-07:002019-10-31T05:07:52.448-07:00FYI, I'm still here Bionic, reading all your p...FYI, I'm still here Bionic, reading all your posts with alacrity, but (mostly) without comment.

I agree with them.<br /><br />They are merely pointing out that speech is being manipulated for power. Either fight now for free speech or fight later with bullets and bombs. Or don't and just be enslaved in a Communist dictatorship.<br /><br />This blog talks about the Logos. The importance of logic, reason, and Jesus' physical representation of all of it.<br /><br />Well, to the SJW. There is no logos. Only power. Literally asking a person of color to explain how a white, male, Christian, heterosexual has privilege is itself exploitation and using power over the person of color.<br /><br />Polylogism. There isn't logic there is a viewpoint based on Intersectionality. It is the philosophy animating Antifa.<br /><br />Free speech itself doesn't provide liberty. I agree. That doesn't diminish the need for what this group is unifying for.RMBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13603112499567064214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-45325095140066727352019-10-30T08:41:36.414-07:002019-10-30T08:41:36.414-07:00Well said.Well said.bionic mosquitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002548958078731031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-84514512823557056362019-10-30T06:42:25.916-07:002019-10-30T06:42:25.916-07:00"this is the way to preserve all that is good..."this is the way to preserve all that is good and effective about free liberal societies that tolerate and welcome differences of opinion."<br /><br />Liberals and their tolerance. As G.K. Chesterton said, "tolerance is the virtue of the man without convictions," and it is going to take plenty of conviction to save the West.<br /><br />It's going to take people being ridiculing and dismissive of those championing terrible ideas. It's going to take a dissociation from those who carry opinions that significantly differ from our own. It's going to take standing up for those ideas which are old, true and good and withering attack on those other ideas plaguing our communities. It's going to take political separation and decentralization.<br /><br />It doesn't sound like liberals are equipped for any of these tasks, with so called 'freedom of speech' as their primary conception of freedom, 'diversity of opinion' as their primary means of achieving and maintaining it, and universality as their principle of organization.<br /><br />"And it is on these first principles – and nowhere else – where liberty can be built."<br /><br />Amen. To save themselves (from themselves), liberals will need to sacrifice two of their gods on the altar of truth: democracy and equality. They need to recognize and fully appreciate the dangers of these two ideas and how much damage they've done to the civilization we inherited.A Texas Libertarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02980539931923054404noreply@blogger.com
