That is an incomplete answer. I’m a big why person. See my post above. 

 

For the same reason we argue in favor of free speech. Sunlight is the best disinfectant. Open discourse allows good ideas to push the bad ideas out.

 

If your goal is totalitarianism the greatest threat to your mission is a well informed populace.

It's all based on post-modern theory, intersectional theory, and critical race theory (born out of these former two).  Critical race theory is in a battle with "whiteness" which includes characteristics such as liking individualism, free society, personal responsibility, nuclear family, etc.  They rail against freedom as "whiteness" and if you assert your love for these qualities, you are a white supremacist.  The ideology does not allow for any room for discussion otherwise.

...DEAD ON.....so what do we tell the MILLIONS of African-Americans or other ethnic Americans that have embraced those same alleged "white supremacist (COUGH) ideals" and have basked in the SAME level of successes?.....what derogatory adjectives should we apply to them for "chasing AND realizing their dreams"?......I missed the memo....

Of course not, no one needs to die and I hope it never comes to that. Just free flow of ideas rather than cancel culture.

Sure man, sure. I know you’re being facetious.

 

Of course I am but if, according to you, they have no room for discussion then we just ignore them and hope they go away?  How do we cancel them to prevent their ideals from spreading to the majority.  They have the greatest marketing engines on their side.  Hollywood and the main stream media.

I wouldn't cancel anyone's ideas (unless it was an imminent threat).  It's hard because everyone seems to have been indoctrinated into this viewpoint from the 90s forward and they are reaping the fruit of the culture it has wrought.  I tend to think they will eat their own and their nonsensical and disjointed message will be seen for what it is compared to cooler and rational heads over time.  It's a long game, and we may see some short term pain (hopefully not to the point of the Gulags) for long term gain in the end.  It seems like a difficult time, but I'm also hopeful that there is a majority that is silent.  A majority that has to work and be responsible to themselves and their families.  They can't be out in the streets but can vote for those who are more rational.  We will see, otherwise we are doomed to repeat socialist/communist ideals until it unravels again.  Interesting and dangerous times for sure.

Following Goya CEO Robert Unanue’s praise for President Trump at a White House event, social media was alight with calls to boycott the food maker. Leading the fight was Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Proving that Twitter isn’t real life, the boycott has already proven to be a failure and it took yet another hit today. The United Bodegas of America (UBA) said it will keep stocking Goya products.
