Re: VISA/Mastercard blocks payment to Horowitz Center because of SPLC
I believe a good example of what I see when people debate whether or not companies have the right to allow customers free speech or not on their services, is equivalent to how any place that involves service can freely decline said service to an individual.
e.x. My co-worker was a dick to the Tim Hortons (Canadian coffee chain I know) that was in the same building as us. My co-worker is now 100% denied service from Tim Hortons (he can't buy anything from them, and they actively ignore him outside of work) My co-worker, in retaliation, 100% denies service at the gas station for Tim Hortons employees This is legal, and happened for months before Tim Hortons decided to start accepting him again and then immediately began refusing again after a week when he continued being an ass. wheeeeeeeeeeeeee Last edited by gold stinger; 09-25-2018 at 05:48 PM.. |

"As you can see, National Socialism, AKA 'Nazism', is socialism."
"So, the Nazis were socialists?" "Yes." "What do you do to stop Nazis?" "I advocate for their platforming so people can form their own conclusion." "And socialists?" "I want them driven from academia." |

Re: VISA/Mastercard blocks payment to Horowitz Center because of SPLC
sorry i don't have a nationwide statistic sheet to get the empirical data on campus political opinions. i'm sure we could smack down a lot of the claims in this thread with a cute lil request for more data.
However, theres information suggesting at least in the way of educators and professors, conservative professors are outnumbered 12:1. Quote:
Do you think many students feel safe "ruffling feathers" with those in authority with opposing viewpoints? I think most likely they will stifle their true feelings and opinions during class discussions for the sake of their education and maybe even safety and to save them from the embarrassment of being the "odd one out" in lecture hall. Theres also this: Quote:
Quote:
Quote:
though its not hard to look at any of the large "campus activism" movements that have sprung up in the past 8-10 years and imagine why it might be hard, scary, or risky to express these viewpoints when there are swaths of people on the other side who show no qualms in doxxing you or causing trouble with your employer or school ethics board over your opinions. maybe we should stop treating students like customers that pay 10s of thousands of dollars per year for the right to not be offended. maybe we should fix the system where teachers are afraid to teach effectively because of fear of losing their jobs in a "brutal" job market where they can be replaced with someone who won't cause trouble hurting the feelings of the schools cash cows? but thats another thread i guess.. lol

Re: VISA/Mastercard blocks payment to Horowitz Center because of SPLC
people who complain about the lack of conservatives in academia also believe that women self-select into low-paying occupations because of immutable preferences

Re: VISA/Mastercard blocks payment to Horowitz Center because of SPLC
there were plenty of (almost entirely guys) willing to yell out their opinion during class at university of windsor, nobody felt stifled, believe me. Unless things have drastically changed in the past 6-7 years.

Re: VISA/Mastercard blocks payment to Horowitz Center because of SPLC
the plural of anecdote isn't data but neither is the singular. i think these kinds of classroom environments are more likely to be found in a humanities or social studies field, personally. didn't you study the sciences? i'm not trying to disregard your experiences but I think the kinds of discussions being had given the environment and the timeframe may have been different than say, the kinds of topics that might appear in a college level Philosophy class today. The kinds of topics where disagreeing with certain types of people might place you on the end of a doxxing campaign, or have you labelled as something you're not on campus, etc etc. I think thats part of the "Trump Effect". Its had a major impact on psychology and peoples stress levels. I found this good article: https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics...a-13145645.php
As Northwestern University professor Laura Kipnis writes, Quote:
theres really no way to quantify this data outside of anecdotes that I can find, at least for students. I already linked to studies that claim a 12:1 liberal bias in campus educators in America though. I'd be willing to bet its even worse in Canada by virtue of the majority of our country being more economically and politically socialist to begin with.

Re: VISA/Mastercard blocks payment to Horowitz Center because of SPLC
My experience in a pre-Trump college environment is limited to 2 months, and I know that anecdote doesn't trump statistics, but I'm really struggling to imagine an academic scenario where people are literally doxxed for being Trump supporters.
I can 100% believe most college professors identify as left-leaning but that's a far fucking cry from Trumpettes being silenced

of course when its racist dumbasses on facebook it looks good on them. but when its people on tumblr who draw your favourite character "not fat enough" and you start flinging shit at them, hunting them down, and driving them off your platform? these are just two examples i can think of right off the top of my head. of course don't forget our good ole boy Alfred MacDonald who got called in front of his professor/department head and told to simmer down or w/e for raising the point that LGBTQ+ people like himself and his partner at the time get killed/murdered for their sexuality in majority Muslim countries. b rb gotta poop edit: maybe they're not being systematically doxxed off campus but they sure make it hard for them to have republican campus groups and meetings ON CAMPUS - The Isolation of College Libertarians - New York Times Quote:
and theres no shortage of sentiments being shared that some students with conservative opinions have fears of expressing them on campus Quote:

Re: VISA/Mastercard blocks payment to Horowitz Center because of SPLC
1. No. There are still public Trump supporters at probably every college (certainly mine) and I'd like to hear one example of a college that banned a Young Republicans group.
2. You had to use JONTRON as an example? The shot he said was actively racist, of course he fucking got fired!
