Restating the Obvious: An Open Letter from the Libertarian Movement

[acptulsa]

The Mods changed it, for the reason that this is a libertarian site, not a neo-NAZI site.



Much simpler explanation - the owner of this site is still a libertarian.

The original thread title was also more than four words, and not all that neutral. In fact, it specifically mentioned the 'alt-right'.

Furthermore, I see no sign that any significant number of people here believe the protestors were all stormfronters, or that they had no right to free speech, or even that they'd have had no right to free speech if they were all 'alt-right'.

So I'm at a loss what the screed is all about.

I know exactly who changed the title. The title was neutral, describing an event. It was not the value judgment you placed on it.

I have no doubt you're remembering correctly who changed it. I also have no doubt you're not remembering the original title correctly.

No surprise at all. I have seen many more than one prominent voice of the left over the last year or so, speak out in favor utter elimination of white people.

.

And these people do all of this with a straight face, and spend money from your paycheck to boot. Here's one (link below). It's called the White Privilege Conference. It was held in Kansas City this year.

Yeah, sure; white people are supposed to stand around to be ridiculed and belittled. White people decline to be ridiculed and belittled and that is somehow a problem. Yeah, and white people are the hateful ones.

BLM et al say the same thing. It's a canard...

No one's questioning anyone's right to free speech.

Criticizing the asinine things that NAZIs or bolsheviks say is itself an exercise in free speech, of course.

The purpose of the OP is to clearly distinguish between liberalism/libertarianism and the alt-right/neo-NAZIsm.

...which certain persons ($$$?) are hell bent on equating.

...for very obvious political purposes.

No, it was not more than four words. I was sitting here the exact minute RonPaulMall posted it. It was called Unite the Right Rally.

It might have been changed to something longer and then changed a third time, but that was the original title. RonPaulMall did not change it because you have only one hour to change a thread title, and I was here for one hour after he posted it. It did not change in that one hour.

Oh, OK, thanks for the clarification.

My pleasure...

Best I can tell, option #2 (if with hesitation, because you know it's wrong)

It sounded to me like he didn't want to let them seize the position of opposing the maniac left as theirs so that all "sane" people could be herded into one camp of madmen or the other.

But of course that was exactly the purpose of this event, and it succeeded.

To wit: this thread.

Reds and browns are recruiting tonight; the only loser is liberalism (or "sanity").

I remember "newsletter-gate" just fine myself.

Here's the difference AF; no one at that time was celebrating Ron's (alleged) connections to white nationalists.

No one at that time thought it helpful to the liberty movement to associated with NAZIs.

Now, evidently, some people do. Do you?

I'm amused that no one has voted in the negative.

Perhaps I shouldn't have made it a public poll...
