And sometimes the state government

Were those surveys surverying ordinary people?

And the Left wing public.

Students and faculty generally.

There's actually a very nice paper showing that the left will openly discriminate against conservatives.

Just like how conservatives will openly discriminate against liberals and the left

It is true that the left tends to get more censorship and fired more frequently, but when you outnumber the right by factors of 40-1 or more in most departments, that's to be expected.

That's not true.

The same paper showed almost no bias against the left by the right.

@Ace K I can't believe you are even trying to call the Left the victim when it comes of freedom of speech and expression. Even when it's Left getting shut down the vast mijorty of the time it's by other Leftist coz they aren't Left enough.

On a per capita basis, the right is censored, harassed and fired many times over.

@Poppy Rider Ace is the local Antifa, SJW shill. Don't be surprised. He's generally straight Buzzfeed talking points.

Or maybe she. No one knows anyone elses gender around here.

Wow Pratel, talk about NPC talking points.

Yeah. I'm getting that pitchure.

Beep boop.

But They are here to talk, I'll talk.

I can go find that paper if you don't believe me.

I'm just honestly surprised by the blatant hypocrisy, especially since the dangers presented 'from the left' are vastly overstated

Now you're just deflecting.

@Ace K as an non american. My perspective of the american two part system is that the parties does function more like electoral groups. They both span a multitude of what would be considered independent parties in europe. For example i saw a yt vid claiming there are 14 distinct groupings in the US republican party, and I think the same goes for the Democratic party. I find it interesting that “socialist” group in the dems is gaining power and pushing out the classical liberals, embodied by JFK. Of those that leave the majority is going independent/abstaining and a minority of the are going republican.

Dangers from the right is vastly overstated

@4AM_critter 🐉 that's very much how it tends to work actually.

Because there's only 2 parties, people with semi-similar interests tend to group up.

That's also why you hear about "single issue voters"

@Poppy Rider I believe @Ace K

That's mostly because the parties are becoming ideologically homogenous, @4AM_critter 🐉

@Rjfenix With respect to?

@Rjfenix In what

Sorry. Phone is fucked up let me get my laptop

article 1: https://heterodoxacademy.org/the-skeptics-are-wrong-part-2/

Also for those not in the know, Niskanen is a left-of-center think tank.

Campus are charging hundreds of thousands of dollars for ppl to speak in case the Left starts burning shit.

heterodox is a non-partisan organization dedicated to free speech and ideological diversity.

Left-leaning libertarian, Pratel

Whatever.

Here's the other parts. https://heterodoxacademy.org/skeptics-are-wrong-about-campus-speech/

https://heterodoxacademy.org/the-skeptics-are-wrong-part-3-intolerance-levels-are-high/

That Niskansen article was one of a number that showed up in places like Vox almost all at once to try and argue that the mobs going around on campus smashing up right-of-center displays, harrassing right-leaning students and even terrifying left-leaning faculty were "just normal"

It wasn't at all convincing if you'd followed all the dis-invitation attempts and shout-downs.
