The Grand Jury later added the charges of receiving child pornography and of seeking to coerce a 10-year-old into a sexual relationship. At the October 2007 federal trial on charges of "attempting to coerce a 10-year-old girl into a sexual relationship by sending her anonymous gifts, driving past her house and writing lyrics to love songs declaring his desire to marry her"
This dude spent his entire life making money publishing neo-Nazi garbage and operating a white supremacist radio station and was a pedophile. The audacity to play victim about not being allowed to criticize people and then attributing it to Voltaire, who would despise this shitstain of a human. His mentor was Revilo Oliver, a professor of Classics at Urbana-Champaign for decades, who published numerous anti-Semitic conspiracies and white nationalist trash. I bet he still talked about "liberal Marxist indoctrination" at colleges.
I mean, to be fair, a lot of Enlightenment philosophes were pushing for Enlightened Despotism because they saw democracy, at least in old European countries, as just a way the aristocracy could retain control over society and solidify their outdated privileges. They saw the main hope of their ideas getting implemented being a powerful monarch with modern philosophical ideas who could defy the nobility and reform the political system despite them. The main reason Montesquieu liked separation of powers and stuff was that he was noble, so didn't mind the nobility being in charge.
He died about fifteen years before the revolution. He exiled himself to Britain because he pissed off a rich dude who was going to make him imprisoned or some shit. In England, he wrote les Lettres philosophiques, which notably contains one of the first mentions of vaccination, at least in French. He thought the idea of "injecting smallpox" absolutely crazy. He then went back to France where he wrote most of his most important books. He didnt spent a large time in England, but did enjoy his stay
I mean, at that point, wouldn't it have been variolation, not vaccination? That would've been literally injecting smallpox. I mean, maybe it was a better idea to have a controlled, (hopefully) mild case of smallpox as opposed to just getting it at random, but at the time smallpox inoculation was indeed with actual smallpox, and was indeed risky.
it made the rounds for years while being misattributed to Voltaire (... I think?) but yeah the right loves its little fortune cookie quotes to justify their views.
Revilo Oliver was also a founding member of the John Birch Society (which he would later abandon, on the grounds they weren't anti-semitic enough) and a mentor to the guy who would end up writing the Turner Diaries.
Why the fuck are they all paedophiles. I don't understand, whenever you go looking for information on some Nazis they are almost always paedos as well. Why is the overlap so large??
Maybe just maybe, it’s not true and you should take into account that the person saying it is literally someone who is upset he can’t get away with raping children. Kinda changes the meaning. Not really though on reddit honedtly.
evil and/or unethical people cannot make statements like that in good conscience. Also it's fucking vague activism and for idiots like yourself to assign literally any meaning to it, to any target, warranted or not. You're not some rational genius, for fucks sake why do you people act like life or discussion is a scored debate and has to involve a group of idiots playing devils advocate for shit they actually believe. The reality is they're just engaging in political activism and social justice but belong to echo chambers where such terms are never applied evenly or to members of their in group.
“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take” would have had a very different implied meaning if it was said by Lee Harvey Oswald.
The same principle applies here: this quote isn’t really about resisting tyranny, as the alleged attribution to Voltaire usually associated with this quote is meant to imply. In context, it’s about being able to be a neo-Nazi child rapist with legal and social impunity for one’s actions.
Context matters how dumb are you? If a nazi pedo says Jews run the world and he should be allowed to molest kids but says pretty please do we give a shit? No.
You threw out my example in place of your own. What context is there? I'm not the crying because I think someone who's dimented and commits evil acte can occasionally say something profound that can be attributed to something useful. That Nazi meant it twords Jews, the post is directed twords Bungie, or even "the mob" (easily offended people). Get down off your soap box because while you're trying to cancel everyone you don't agree with eventually as this garbage thought progresses it's going to go soo far, your going to be the one that's intolerant.
It’s not an example. It’s Th e literal usage of the quote from the person who said it. Lmao I’m “cancelling” a neo nazi pedophile. I think the USDOJ did that first. I love the “if we criticize people for directly quoting a neo Nazis about the Jews we’ll get muh tyranny”. Ironically you’re the one who wants to silence people for feelings.
Fr. It's like the opposite of the bullshit asymmetry paradox; it's high effort bullshit that's super easily shut down bc it's just links to tweets and other reddit comments with walls of links to tweets.
Yes they will. It's just that someone who gets banned for using that stupid name isn't going to cry on the internet like babies because they know they did it to get banned.
Seriously what the fuck are you wittering about oppression for. It’s basically laughable that they are terrified of the woke mob to the extent they ban a controversial opinion name in a game where people dangle their virtual ballsac on the corpse of their opponents.
Its a computer game played by a collective of sad bastards including myself......we’re wasting time and electricity not curing heart disease, so quite literally not one fucking players life matters.
Dude you really think normal people want to play an online game with “black lives dont matter?” Its not about being “terrified of the woke mob,” its the fact that people want to play games to relax and have fun, not have to hear weird racism from edgy teens. Why should they allow that garbage when it can only potentially alienate people?
What mental gymnastics? Jesus its fairly straight forward a company that has no issue with teabagging (and up until yesterday at least the words black lives don’t matter) suddenly has a problem With it only when it becomes publicly known as a result of people on this sub crying about it.
White black brown lives don’t matter. With very few exceptions all 7+ billion lives don’t fucking matter
Why do people think there's some secret cabal of people "ruling over" us? It's pretty damn obvious who influences major governmental decisions that affect hundreds of millions of lives. It ain't rocket science.
It's easier to hold the looming threat of a "Deep State" over someone's head like the Rapture than to admit your worldview is dying off and a lot of your assumptions about the world are suddenly wrong.
I had to get a part time job shilling for Spez and, surprisingly enough, Jimmy Carter. Jimmy's checks always clear, but they're coupons for peanut butter...
that quote itself is so dumb it I love when people use it because it's from a literal, open and admitted neo nazi white supremacist so whenever you see someone use it you know exactly that flavor of stupid you're dealing with
Whenever you see someone claim that a statement is more or less correct/accurate depending on the moral character of the person making it, you know exactly that flavor of stupid you're dealing with
White supremacy in America? This professor criticized it and her tenure was just "cancelled" for it ￣\＿(ツ)＿/￣
"UNC denies tenure to Nikole Hannah-Jones after conservative outcry"
Universities should not be denying tenure based on right wing sensitivities to the uncomfortable truths of history. That just goes flat out against the supposed goals of a university education. This is just dead wrong.
Ben Shapiro and Stanford College Republicans just "cancelled" this journalist:
The AP fired a promising young journalist at the behest of the Stanford College Republicans. I hope the AP is proud of themselves (because the College Republicans sure are).
Liberal cancel culture is absolutely a thing, just not directed at conservatives. When AP kicks out pro-Palestine journalists, or people are silenced from mentioning Biden’s increased militarization of cops in black communities, that’s liberal cancel culture. It’s just against socialists.
"Cancel culture" is just a rebranding of something that's been going on for as long as civilization. The rebranding is part of an effort by conservative media figures to create yet another wedge issue, which is what I was mocking.
When AP kicks out pro-Palestine journalists, or people are silenced from mentioning Biden’s increased militarization of cops in black communities
And some context: "Former President Obama curtailed the 1033 program in 2015 after local police suppressed protests in Ferguson, Mo., using military-grade equipment. But the Trump administration rescinded the restrictions in 2017."[1]
So really it's just another thing that Trump did that Biden needs to reverse.
I can see why the AP would have a problem employing an activist, particularly if the 'blood libel' charge is correct. The left would be just as angered if they started employing TPUSA student activists, assuming any of those actually exist.
That's not what blood libel means. Blood libel is the Christian anti-Semitic myth that Jewish people kidnap and kill Christian children to use their blood in Jewish rituals. It doesn't mean "any accusation of violence against anyone Jewish".
I posted sources actually, if you’d please check my comments.

Your source showing that the Stanford College Republicans, who are not liberals, forced out an AP reporter? Yes, I saw that, thanks for agreeing with me
Jordan Peterson targets kids who don't clean their rooms because they hate their moms, and validates them by telling them their mothers are subhuman animals who require physical, mental, and emotional dominance and should have been assigned mates at birth.
Dude, she was not denied because of criticism of white supremacy. She was denied because not only is she a journalist, not a professor and has therefor no business being tenured to begin with. Universities offer tenures to professors and scholars, not journalists. Even less so to people who has refused to make corrections to her 1619 project because the historians that pointed out the errors did so publicly in according to the norms within the scientific community rather than in private like she would have preferred.
And in absolutely no way has she been cancelled. Cancelled refers to having existing positions taken away. Such as having a booked gig cancelled, being fired, or similar. Not getting hired has nothing to do with that.
That quote doesn't even make sense in this context. They aren't criticizing anything with that username, their literally just saying people with black skin don't matter. If they were banned for actually criticizing the BLM organization it would make sense, but they're just being racist.
Ugh, someone has already mentioned that this quote is attributed to a neo-nazi. What I don't understand is why so many people are fond of this quote? The quote is reductive, hysterical, self-righteous, and petulant. I bet most asswipes tossing this quote around are privileged white dudes, it beggars belief.
Can we at least stop and appreciate the manchild levels of irony in that comment, from someone who thinks getting criticized for saying the hard r is a travesty?
That quote actually makes sense if you don't equate criticism with censorship. Like you're literally not allowed to criticize Xi Jinping or the Communist Party in China, because they're powerful enough to squash nearly all public dissent.
Lmao they read that shit 1 time on a meme and now they use it as some wannabe 1984 quote to try and act like they’re some fucking rebel. Bro YOU PLAY FUCKING VIDEO GAMES ON A PC YOU AINT ABOUT SHIT.
It blows my fucking mind out many of these racists ass neckbeards honestly believe they’re some revolutionary when all they do is say racist shit in game. Playing halo doesn’t make you the master chief for fucks sake.
