I'm not ignoring the many problems marginalised groups face, I am simply addressing the current topic of conversation, free speech. Furthermore the ACLU isn't ignoring them, they have many excellent programs devoted to those issues.
Talking about X doesn't imply ignoring Y, and I object to the blatantly hostile and manipulative language.
- wolverine876 5y agoI don't see anything hostile or manipulative, but apologies if it seems that way. > I'm not ignoring the many problems marginalised groups face, I am simply addressing the current topic of conversation, That is an example of my point and (in my understanding) the point of the new 'movement' in the ACLU: Free speech is always the topic, and has been for generations, and the other civil rights of marginalized people are never the topic - or not enough to motivate anyone to solve the problems. A sort of dramatic hypothesis: Free speech affects the people who sit at the table, so that's what they see and what they care about. The marginalized get table scraps. I actually support the ACLU's 'old' stance on free speech, but that's not the topic of conversation IMHO.
