And there are ramifications for hate speech

There is no such thing, Asshole.

That's where I stopped listening to the aggressive man who wears his virtual reality headset as a woman's wig while putting on woman's clothes and women's makeup. Truth is, they probably all are wearing makeup for television. Nothing against makeup. All this on a show we would avoid hosted by another such, a television psychiatrist always the most serious of a cluster of knuckleheads. The incident interesting only for its aggression.

This incident is of Ben Shapiro engaging a trans man person who tells Ben he might be going home in an ambulance. So I read some dozen times today but still haven't actually seen. The video is here. I don't care to post it.

The guy dressed as a woman is filled with what we would call testosterone, that chemical bit that makes you want to wring somebody's neck with your own hands for being so obstinate in disagreeing. I guess it would be funny. The guy in a dress and wig knocking the hell out of a journalist who refuses his aggressive assertions and insists he's the hater, the hater deciding on hate crimes.

We saw this quite clearly way back at the beginning when the term hate crime first appeared applied to this arena in the case of Matthew Shepard and the James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, the Matthew Shepard Act. The problem, enter the ever-shifting definition of "hate" and who defines it, the most fierce of activist will use it to close down speech and nothing is achieved in prevention of any so-called hate crimes. And Shepard was only perceived as a hate crime because we all knew he was gay so that must have been the reason, but the real reason was otherwise, simple evil. And now right off, skipping past the t.v. doctor to the Trans/Shaprio interaction part, right off, the very first thing makes the rest unwatchable, "That's okay, he can be whatever he wants to be" That is, Shapiro can be a hater if he wants.

"Yeah, isn't that what this is about?" Declarative-interrogative, the mode of the made for t.v. psychiatrist.

Trans, "And there are ramifications for hate speech." *click*

The ambulance part comes after this, I think. You are predictable as children. Predictable as fierce children who all successfully avoided the required reading of dystopian novels in their public educations. I know two such who admitted conversationally as admitting something shamefully clever to having managed graduating High School while evading reading a book. Not one. Years elapsed and still no book.  Decades. A sense of book-inadequacy set in. One educated in Wyoming the other in Massachusetts. The idea of sitting down and reading a book is ridiculous to both. Finally (on my urging) they tried and were hooked on Vampire Lestat and Harry Potter respectively and being fierce devoured the entire oeuvres. That's the last I heard. Except one reads online, Move On.

No. You do not get to decide first that there is hate speech and second what it is day to day from the point of view of your virtual reality, man wearing a wig and a dress. Shut up and go marry something. And you can tell this to your 65 year old xy male ex-athelete friend  living with a cluster of dragon bitches all similarly falsified. Enjoy your virtual reality. I'll choose not to be dragged onto your holodeck, homosexual person wearing a dress and filled with manly rage who is projecting his own hatred onto everyone resisting his unique trip. Some reason, Ben Shapiro, probably journalism, maybe macabre interest, still reading your postcards from the edge and having your threats. No thank you.

I saw this clip this morning too. I was impressed with how every single panelist except Shapiro was dedicated to denying the truth. He simply stated some obvious facts, and they were all chomping at the bit to show everyone how they did not share his "opinion". Facts are not a goddamned opinion, or hate speech.

The anti-free speech fetish on the left - and it's almost a cultural norm now - is one of the most disappointing developments in my life of watching my culture and nation change. We are just falling apart and losing our way.

Ben is not a big guy, from what I have seen, but it would have been interesting if he'd produced a firearm of significant caliber and said, "When you say that - SMILE!".

If you're labeled a hater it follows that shutting you up is right and proper.

Ergo the promiscuous use of "HATER!" by the totalitarians.

What you are seeing on that panel is a cross section of radical marxist leftism looks like. Their two go-to words, Racist/Hater. That's all they have to say in response to anything anyone says to them in opposition.

"But he is genetically male and therefore..."

Hater.

Not refusing, but just not doing it on enthusiastic command (or something like that) is now considered close to, I don't know, hate?

The non clapping perp was Bret Farv at the ESPYs. His crime? Not seeming enthusiastic enough when Jenner was presented for close up.

Slouching towards 1984 we are... speaking of books.

Sure enough I misspelled the name... Brett Favre

We've seen it before.

Everybody was afraid to be the first to stop clapping when Uncle Joe addressed the Politburo every year.

Eventually, they used a bell to signal it was OK.

"Hate speech" has become as cliche' as "microagression" is becoming. When the listener decides what a speaker means, actually he/she's preparing their answer before the speaker finishes (not really listening), we're on our way out the door, so to speak.

I don't like trannies-I think they are gross. My fag friends are not friends of the tran; kind of like we know blacks hate us.

Bruce's tits look great but that fucking man voice-geez.

Titus said...

Do you know one of the brothers who wrote and directed The Matrix has now become transvaginal.

So said-I loved The Matrix.

tits.

WTF is going on...Blogspot is not accepting comments now?

Aridog said...

Reference above is to the "Atticus Finch" thread. Lem...did you close it down?

Aridog said...

Anyway...we've already quit locking our doors in the day time...too much hassle & a symbol of retreat.

Sorry for the OT burst here.

Aridog said...

Just checked the "Atticus Finch" thread...still blocked. May I ask why? Was it something I said or anyone said, or is it just a Blogspot anomoly?
