Sure. But the students have managed to make the story "rowdy crowd of woke crybabies heckle a sitting judge" instead of "sitting judge embarrasses himself by giving bad answers to student questions."
That's not good for advancing or protecting LGBT rights.
- visarga 4y agoActivists discourage or disapprove of participating in debateing because they believe it could provide a platform or legitimacy for opposing views. They also think other people are delusional, using wrong concepts or lacking the unique perspective they have, so there is no way they could understand. It's a despicable move, it kills dialogue, separates people into little churches, and encourages dogmatic communication. They are trying to convince society that we have more reasons to fight than to cooperate between groups, which is not true.
- scarmig 4y agoI'm LGBT myself and have done plenty of (actual, on-the-ground) progressive activism and organizing. Not all activists act like this, and they bring disrepute to the cause.
- pxmpxm 4y ago> provide a platform or legitimacy The dumber the stance, the easier it is to demonstrate it as such. The people behind "deplatforming" are merely trying to protect their own dumb stances from intellectual scrutiny. Remember the church and e pur si muove? Same exact thing.
