Best possible outcome. No better weapon against racism than education.
I'm not so sure. If that was the case, you'd think that by analogy the best weapon against sexism would be education, and you know what they say about male feminists.
How does this work? The part where tolerating intolerance lets them win?
If you just ignore Nazis (and arrest them if they break laws by assaulting people) then will they really gain any more influence? If anything, open Nazis just make people more left-wing.
I suppose there's a danger that left-wing people will radicalise a bit when they see the Nazis, and right-wing people will radicalise when they see anti-fa. By tolerating extremists, we engender more sympathy for extremists on the other side.
Dont blame popper, he was a negative utilitarian and would definetely change his opinion on the matter if we had empirical prove that there are better ways of dealing with intolerance than being intolerant to the intolerant
That shitty comic does a bad job stating popper's argument.
I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be unwise
I'm really hoping it's as much of a shit show as I'd expect. Can't help but think of the dude in some stupid anthropology class I had to take that would flirt with holocaust denial on a regular basis.
Lol, I went to a Halloween party organised by a friend's SJW fuck buddy one time and the invitation explicitly banned insensitive or offensive costumes. One dude came as the pope (lefties don't seem to care about offending papists) and I had a good amount of fun pretending to be a deeply hurt devout Catholic.
The KKK is not a thing in Australia. There's a small bunch of /pol/ack LARPers who put up a few posters, a couple of "alt right" political parties (one of which is mostly run by brown Christian migrants and just doesn't like Islam, another is run by hard right Jews, and one of which is run by a Seventh-Day-Advent mayo). Historically the main racist organisation would be the Queensland Police.

Gay porn is a genre that cuts across all demographics and the stigma that you have to be gay to enjoy it needs to come to an end right now.

It’s spouted by people that want permission to be fascists against those they don’t agree with.
1 ubuntutakeupthecuntu 2018-07-04
That all on the presumption that by letting something intolerant exist it will inevitable over power tolerant ones which is a big fucking presumption.

Australians are white?

If we call everyone non white the goals of mayocide will never be achieved.

Wouldn't African studies be better? Since when were gasoline chuggers basketball americans?

I'm hoping that they are paying for it too, and they have to repeat the unit if they fail.
1 DarkMatter948 2018-07-04
So they are going to study huffing gasoline, chucking spears, and molesting children? Neat.

So spear chucking, gas huffing, incest, rape, and horrible rituals. Amazing culture /s
1 wisty 2018-07-04
Anything with "studies" in the name is just whinging about social justice and oppression.

1 serial_crusher 2018-07-04
which pope was in office at the time? I hope it was hippie cuck pope they've currently got running things.
Is "in office" the correct phrase to use for a pope?
1 MargarineIsEvil 2018-07-04
I think it was the kraut pope unfortunately.
1 serial_crusher 2018-07-04
Is the KKK a "thing" in Australia? Shouldn't they be forced to study take a Black History course from an American school online or something?
