uh

that

look I don't mean to overstep here because I'm like a million miles away but that sounds incredibly naive of you

protests spawn naturally. berkeley acted admnistratively, someone asked for an auditorium or something, they gave it - I assume, after a fee. it wasn't organized by the university so there's no sense in asking for some sort of sponsorship or governing body making it official... they didn't "do" anything other than provide the platform. milo's speech was cancelled by the police. the police said that it was too dangerous. berkeley was like whatever

my point was a little more forward in the sense that I think that universities shouldn't just sell their spaces to whatever. but I hold this conservative view that allowing something within your "space" is tacitly endorsing it. or at least, endorsing its existence. I don't think that the likes of Milo belong in universities. heck, I know that ellen degeneres gives college speeches, and I'm reticent about that too. university should have standards of speech (not political necessarily) and Milo clearly doesn't check any standards in existence

i agree w most of this but u gotta remember we're some of the only leftists here lol

but im not sure i fully agree. i think universities should have the ability to no platform people like milo who are outright reactionary and have plans to (and actually did in the past) harm marginalized students, no question. but i mean harmless stuff like ellen idrc. she's not calling for genocide in her politics or her speeches, even if she's woefully liberal
