- Pfhreak 9y agoYour comment is fairly sparse, but I'm reading that you feel 'safe spaces' are equivalent to Google/GoDaddy/etc. shutting down neo-nazi websites that actively encourage violence against a class of people?
- duncan_bayne 9y agoI'm reading that you feel like constructing and attacking a straw-man version of my position ;) The thrust of the Guardian article was that freedom of speech is no longer valued at Universities in the UK, or at least, to no-where near the level it was value in the past. Specifically, the practices that people are advocating to use against Neo-NAZIs are, right now, being used in Universities in the UK and elsewhere to shut down political dissent. That's what I meant by 'this is already happening'.
