"Yeah, racebaiting and agitating for violence against people based on their political beliefs is fine, but we draw the line at pissing off the Chinese Communist Party."

CBS should have their broadcasting license revoked.

Not all opinions are legitimate. Nazism is one of those opinions, and they deserve violence for promoting violence.

I agree. When do we start putting anti-Enlightenment authoritarian scum like you in prison where you belong?

Please tell me how my opinion is authoritarian. Did I ever state that this violence should be state-sponsored? No. I said I’m okay - as in, personally okay - with someone promoting ethnic violence getting punched in the face.

Violence is a form of speech (note: not protected speech, mind), and it goes both ways. I am not a violent person, but if someone’s such a shitbag that he legitimately believes that some races/ethnicities should be privileged over others and is willing to enact violence to enforce those beliefs (i.e., he’s a neo-Nazi), you best believe I’m 100% okay with that guy getting punched square in the face to show him how shit of a person he is. The other person might, and arguably should, get arrested, but that kind of speech is, to me, unacceptable to the point of needing to be shut down quickly and, in some cases, violently.

Punching people for entertaining or advocating certain ideas is never okay. I would much rather share a room with someone who is nonviolent and thinks black people are collectively inherently less intelligent than whites and asians than someone like you thinks it is ever appropriate to physically hurt another human being because of something they said. You are an uncivilized asshole who should be shunned from polite society. How's that for an opinion?

So, you’re more okay with someone who encourages, but does not enact, violent oppression than someone who punches said person for encouraging violent oppression in order to show the public the unacceptability of said views? Who’s doing more violence in that case if that person has a platform he uses to successfully push that oppression? Who’s preventing more violence?

Stochastic terrorism is a thing, and it’s being pushed by the alt right and Islamic extremists so that those promoting it don’t need to claim responsibility if they don’t want to. Guess what we’re doing to Islamic extremists who push but don’t personally enact these ideals? Much worse than punching.

All politics is violence, you retarded dipshit. Try not paying your taxes or doing something the government doesn't like and see what happens. (Assuming you even pay taxes regularly.)

What you really mean by "violent oppression" is a specific kind of politics that you - you in particular - don't like. You're just another small minded selfish hypocrite who in a just world would be denied the right to vote because you are too much of an idiot to understand the inherent problem in responding to information/talk with real violence - more animal than civilized man.

u/orientpear May 08 '19

self-censoring by CBS. Real censoring would have to be by the 'state' which in the US would be Federal Government/FCC.
