(13,251 posts)anonymous speech. It's a pretty good video. He made some good points about business and politicians who would control the anonymous speech and prevent people from criticising them.
He ends by saying if you stop anonymous speech, those trolls addicted to stirring up shit and SCREAMING IN ALL CAPS would then be forced to get their fix by going out into public and we really don't want them to do that.

(115,096 posts)It's so nice to see people who understand the difference between "dirty words" and bigotry.
Kinda bummed that he left women/sexism/misogyny out, but it still applies even if it's not stated so whatever.
seabeyond
(110,159 posts)and homophobia. glad he covered those two.

DonCoquixote
(13,615 posts)covers that a lot, I will see what rants I can find of hers.
seabeyond
(110,159 posts)they are covering the whole. that works for me. i appreciate it, don. if you cant find anything, your explanation works for me.
my 14 yr old son was in here when i was playing it. so an extra thanks. it is good he hears it from others. my husband says the same. he has kick one 28 yr old man out for this. his group is tired of it/dont like it either.

(8,040 posts)There is a time to bring up that shit, but now is not the time. Fucking exactly.
seabeyond
(110,159 posts)but ya, there is misandry stuff. did he have a video on that? will have to see. maybe some time have an Op on that. i would enjoy to see exactly what the issues are, how much i agree, what i learn and see how open minded i could be. would be interesting.

(115,096 posts)Recently I was involved in a discussion of 'thin shaming' (eat a sandwich, I like 'real women', etc...) and someone barged in to point out that fat people are bullied too/worse. Arguably so, but that's not the time to talk about those issues.
