I'd like someone to make a video of all these racist comments that amount to "white guy bad" and substitute random races. I wonder if that would show them how asinine they are.

How Joe Rogan’s Hugely Popular Podcast Became an Essential Platform for “Freethinkers” Who Hate the Left (Left is turning on Rogan for not supporting censorship, at one point use overtly right phrases etc, attack him for every controversial guest ever, proving 1st line true, which they mocked) by Vigte in whatever

From the blog: (not going to call it an article, it was extremely difficult to keep my head above the high level of bias):

There is a difference between debating something that is a true matter of opinion and entertaining an argument that is palpably false, between a willingness to look stupid in one’s personal quest for wisdom and the choice to actually be stupid by deciding that all theories are equally valid and deserve equal consideration.

I don't understand how the author can assume an argument is palpably false without examining the argument. Of course you can refute a faulty premise, but that does not preclude debate. This is what freedom boils down to: not being told by others what to think. If we can't have discourse and dissenting voices cannot be heard what is there to talk about? What's left?
