Yes, it was a tangent in response to another tangent from PB, "You are constantly conflating lies, bigotry and incitement of unrest with dissenting opinions."
in other words you don't like the social norms and rules and you don't want them to apply to the people on your end of the political spectrum.
BUT BRET LOVED HIS JOB
Putting something on the internet is as meaningful as saying something out loud on a crowded street. If you want to be heard by a large audience, you have to utilize the major platforms. If you want to drive important social changes you have to have a large audience.
The problem is that the same people who don't like Big Tech also dislike government regulations.
No, I think that punishment should be tied to the actual offense, not the perception of an offense or someones perverse and politically motivated interpretation of it. Which is how these sort of disputes used to be settled before social media.
Bret Weinstein didn't break any university rules, nor did he say anything racist. The fact that you still cannot say what he did wrong to deserve being forced out of his job shows that I am right and that you are full of sh!t. Your continued gaslighting of the events, where he literally had his life threatened and was forced to step down, solidify my point.
I actually don't dislike big tech. Its an amazingly powerful tool that give us access to information and knowledge on a scale never seen before by humanity. And I don't think the EU created GDPR because they dislike big tech. I think they created it because they are a little bit ahead of the US in evolving their institutions in light of the new reality created by big tech.
That's the key.
They obviously ARE the social norms, otherwise there would be no consequences.
I don't care what Bret Weinstein did wrong, University has every right to fire him and people who were unhappy with what he said also have every right to be unhappy.
Again, I have no problem with someone having their feet held to the fire for something that they actually said or did. However if you are going to crucify someone, you should be able to articulate why what that person said or did is wrong or racist. If you can't, then it probably wasn't wrong or racist in the first place. Which nobody has done for BW.
What I said that the people who think that behavior is insane, which is most people, are afraid to call out the nutjobs and the woke police because they fear that they are the next target merely for calling them out.
He wasn't fired, he resigned with a settlement. Of course they have a right to fire him, but they were obviously in the wrong in the way they handled it, otherwise they would not have paid him out.
the EU beats us every time because they put the consumer before business
Ok cool. So if a psychopath decides they don't like someone, or is butthurt for being called out for their own racism like the professor BW initially had the disagreement with, it's 100% acceptable to accuse them of being racist, threaten them, and force them out of their job. Doesn't surprise me that you area okay with that.
So all these people are psychopaths?
So your problem seems not to be that the information isn't available, it's that it's not available on the easy and obvious platform you want it to be? That's not YouTube's job.
In the case of BW yes. Do you not see the potential abuses and power grabs for allowing someone to weaponize accusations of racism, and using that as a way to control a narrative or advance their own status or career? You are basically saying that we should always give the accuser the benefit of the doubt and crucify the accused.
Nice strawman, I never said all of those entities were psycopaths.
LOL, project much?
Of course you don't, because the facts aren't on your side. Still waiting for you to point out what could be considered racist. Since you are such an empath and all who is so in tune with the struggles of everyone, I'm sure you can find somemthing.
A small extremely loud minority using violence to scare someone into resigning = / = removing someone for an actual disciplinary offense. Learn the difference already.
