WTH? Free Markets & Free Speech = 'White Supremacist and Fascist Ideas'
2018FEB14 @bmania
Happy Valentines Day fellow spreaders of white supremacy and fascism!
According to this a social justice group of Brown University students have stated that there is an "inextricable connection between...fiscal conservatism and free market ideology- and real, tangible, state violence against marginalized communtities." These arguments "enable white supremacist and fascist ideas to fester and flourish by defending the speech of already empowered people over and above any concern for justice or histories of violence."
For context, the group was protesting conservative author and Fox News commentator Guy Benson's 13FEB2018 speech at the university.
WTH? How do you equate a free market and free speech ideology as fascism or white supremacy. Statements like these are why people don't take social justice advocates seriously. They have no understanding of free market economies, the liberties they want, or the liberties they want to take from others.
