Better than the students supporting violence to stop speech that hurts feelings.Are you an adult? Was that not obvious?

Are you an adult bro?
Their thinking violence is okay to stop speech they don't like makes them inferior.
Why does an adult need to be told this? I'm genuinely curious.

I didn't read it... i just picked up on you posting something to possibly feel superior based on your political bias.

Lol. If getting violent over speech u don't like is okay is it cool for a pro life person to bash in the skull of someone who is pro choice and giving a speech about it?

wars have and will be fought for less. You are looking at things only from your perspective.
Wars generally have rules against attacking non military targets though.
And I mean, how does tearing up where you live change anything? Kind of a pointless gesture, imo. You're supposed to wreck THEIR stuff, not yours.

They're crazy leftists, ffs. You actually expect them to act rationally? 😆

Also various degrees of violent protests have changed things before. The violent labor disputes in industry in the US showed some of that. There were the Stonewall riots.
The american revolution started with violent protests.

The context here though is people supporting using violence to stop speech. We are not talking about something to stop actual injustice.
These are snowflakes on college campuses feeling that if they can't get someone uninvited from speaking that it's okay to resort to violently preventing them from talking, not revolutionaries. Though I'm sure they would call themselves revolutionaries, but if you call a pig a bird that won't make it fly.

The articulation of conflicting world views is often what leads to wars.
Originally posted by SurturI mean first it took brainwashing a public enough to go along with the violence. To pretend the hate speech Hitler used didn't facilitate violence afterwards would be rewriting history.
Lol. Except it wasn't the speeches. Do not rewrite history.Nobody said words do not have power, but no you don't get to violently prevent someone you disagree with from speaking.
Also I went back and looked at the survey that you guys were mentioning. It seems kind of flawed with the way the data is presented. It never actually mentions what types of speech would these students find worthy of violence and too what degree of violence they would resort to.
They never even classify what violence represents in this scenario. Is it tearing down signs. Occupying space to keep people away. Yelling at people. Or shooting people. Burning down property. What exactly constitutes violence here for these individuals.
I'm not surprised generic questions like these would lead to these types of numbers because if it's ambiguous enough you're going to get generic data that isn't as useful.
In the cases of freedom to express yourself. Once again we don't know why the individuals feel they can't express their opinions. Is because of threat of violence or anxiousness of having world views challenged or fear of being proven wrong.
So I would take this survey with a major grain of salt because the data is kind of unclear.
