Nope. I do not. Much like your username, this idea and what I'm saying are orthogonal. My point is, if you'd let Hitler get booed down, why wouldn't you let someone else get booed down? Are you asking the protestors not the express themselves?
- orthoganol 9y agoAnd once again you're contradicting yourself by saying their right to shut speakers down has something to do with their ability to figure out if its actually a Hitler or not.
- notgood 9y agoThe thing is that in any modern nation Hitler would likely have been in jail just after the first human rights violations, so he would have to give his speech from jail or something so your hypothetical example is preposterous? Seriously, your argument just reminds me of the "Anyone who dissagres with me is Hitler" meme and benefits little to the conversation and its an appeal to emotion -even when that wasn't your intention-.
