pandarilla Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 I have an old hospital friend who I have a lot of respect for. He's a retired philosophy lecturer and is politically left wing. His take on cancel culture backed up mie, and he shared the following article with me. I don't profess to be particularly intellectual but I think I'm pretty good at getting to the heart of issues. Can anyone deconstruct the arguments put forward here? https://www.spiked-online.com/2020/07/10/why-i-signed-the-harpers-cancel-culture-letter/ -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried despite the platform, but when the first sentence calls those who want people to have to be accountable for their words as ‘unhinged,’ I don’t think you’ll get much back. I've had a few pints but it's just typical "unhinged lefties hate free speech" and airing out her beefs with people who've taken their name off the letter. I'm really not sure what's meant to be particularly revelatory apart from this person apparently being a big lefty (that writes for British Breitbart). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The person who linked to it is on The Loony Left, not the writer. This shows how open the retired philosopher is to high level important ideas. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And supposedly this party isn't just about Brexit. His speech today attacked career politicians, and the connections between big city interests and the government. Those are some pretty big truths. Utterly stunning you were able to work that out without looking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The alternative is you end up in a circle jerk with nodding dogs (kind of mixing my metaphors there but what the hell). -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There aren't any arguments in the article. It's the usual whining BS about free speech being impinged upon because people are disagreeing with right wingers on Twitter. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theroadlesstravelled Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 I read a bit of it. It was mostly waffle. I’m for free speech as I’d guess most people are but there’s a huge difference between real free speech and people wanting to put unregulated shite on social media platforms. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
