Переглядів 3,3 тис.Місяць тому
Governments, NGOs, and the media say that misinformation and hate speech undermine democracy, but they don’t. What threatens democracy is the war on free speech by governments, NGOs, and the media. The future rests upon our ability to resist rising totalitarianism.

Words are not violence. You will be silenced if we are allowing silencing of others. We all lose.
Wonderful! “Right to be heard “- in constitution? Arguments? Yes, 1A allows for other rights to happen❤️
I'm a huge fan of Prof Fryer. I studied Economics until I was 18, to a pretty basic level by comparison, but nothing like this. I respect anyone who keeps trying despite adversity. He's also right in his analyses.
RFK has the female veterans vote! Hooah 🩷✨🕉️
I've heard a lot of nonsense in my lifetime. But this lecture tops them all.
Good idea--video UATX classes; the students seem committed and balanced.
When she brought up the point about the fact that it’s liberalism not leftism driving this ideology. That’s when I truly became her fan. Because that’s exactly what I am saying. I’ve recently left that ideology and I can absolutely see extreme liberalism at work. It’s the “you can be whatever you want” in spite of logic and evidence. It’s exactly what is driving the fat “liberation” ideology. I’m on the hard left and I will remain so until my end. Because worker’s rights, anti capitalism, women’s rights and LGB rights are more important than the fictitious agenda of the T+.
We are seeing the death of mainstream media. Give it ten years. They'll all be gone. Because we all know they lie.Independent journalism is the future. It is almost here. Schellenberger, Taibbi, Greenwald, Weiss, they're leading the way.
The problem with corporations is that they're cowardly. They cut and run from any controversy that may hurt their quarterly earnings. There is no value system in corporations beyond increasing shareholder value. That's not a bad thing. But when the Blackrocks, StateStreets, and Vanguard threaten them with social engineering goals, they'll jump right in line.
Good, now we can get all the bow-tied nerds and gingham dress pick-me girl Republican culture war freaks out of our campus!
Thank you for sharing it was truly appreciated.
Black women carrying drugs makes sense. It is completely rational for black male drug dealers to have helpers if they know they're more likely to be searched. It makes sense that black male drug dealers choose helpers who they trust.
Garbage in. Garbage out. Its not complicated. African Americans were not legally full citizens until the 1970s. The legal system, economic system, housing, labor, healthcare, etc promoted and protected white Americans and punished Black Americans. Consequently, there are huge disparities in policing, in housing, in education, etc. Most white Americans arent willing to make the sacrifices required to get this thing right.
Niall Ferguson shines a bright light on the dangerous effects of the authoritarian take over by the far left in America. I pray that his meritocratic following stays the course and returns our country to its former greatness.
@amixedgirlinamixedupworld
Interesting to me that he's talking about a social penalty for black kids doing well in school. I grew up, in Canada, very white, and there was 300% a social penalty for doing well in school. All the way from kindergarten to grade 13. It generally earned you teacher's pet status but the kids in class? Hated you and gave you grief. So, all I'm saying is, I'd argue that that social cost was exclusively black kids.
This woman is light
when Tiktok became CCP's platform? it's totally bias and perception from your studpid group who knew nothing about what you were talking about and about China not mentioning the CCP.....
Judged from this lecturing process, Niall became crystalized more as an academic proxy for liberal imperialism or even propaganda than a ideaology neutral economic-political scholar. It's a pity and I won't treat him as esteemed as before. Compared with Prof. John Mearsheimer, he was more like a politician rather than a political scientist and authentic historian. You could have a political stand and ideaology, but your analysis and theory should be developed and conducted more neutrally and unbiasedly.
it's bullshit to say US politicians believed at that time Soviet Union was only a transienti force in the world. It's purely hindsight wisdom. If Gorbachev had not been so naive to surrender CCCP's power to nobody, Soviet Union should have existed and the world would have been different.
America is not a nation state but an empire with multi-national people. China is not a nation state but a nation empire.
Using War to frame the current global order and international relations as well as that in the near future, is actually itself a kind of conpiracy or more tactically decribed a strategic preparation from US to solve its own internal deadlock both ideaologically, monetarily and economically. Niall, one of the famous histrical writer who is also my favorite scholar, unfortunately, either dictated or out of the ambition to be the most influential liberal imperialist, emerged to be a academic proxy of the Anglo-Saxen regime.
Just remember don’t defend bad cops … there will and have always been bad cops
Nial, check out the predictions in the book Academic Gamesmanship published in 1970.
What a badass
Kindly - the nature of knowledge and wisdom traditionally fall under Epistemology in Philosophy. I resonate with Dr. Herlin’s emphasis, but I only see graduate degrees of English on her CV. Will UofAustin have someone with relevant graduate work in Philosophy co-teach the class?
Will UATX value Reason over Faith in Epistemology?
It's really something watching a professor from Hoover complain about the partisanship of professors.
If The University of Austin is serious about race, maybe they should bring the MOST famous black economist on their campus for a lecture. Dr Thomas Sowell
Astounding is another word for "collective facepalm" yes Winston, so true. Once we got used to cancel culture, free speech took a backseat.
She seems so kool!
This was truly an excellent discussion. Thank you for sharing.
Brilliant Discussion - Loved the passion and truth and openness
If I was American, I would vote for RFK Jr. What a knowledgeable, kind, brave and eloquent man, wow! Greetings from Bosnia and Herzegovina ^_^

Brazil is a really bad example of what censorship is. Free speech ends when you yell fire in a crowded theater. Free speech ends when someone who has already staged one coup is actively trying to stage another It's my understanding that Bolsinaro illegally came into power by his party falsely accusing Lula da Silva of corruption and then having him thrown into prison in a bogus politically motivated trial. This allowed Bolsinaro to take power in Brazil. After several years in prison da Silva was exonerated. Bolsinaro has been actively trying to stage another coup and the X platform has been a launching pad for a lot of it. With that being the case, you would think that Lula should have some leeway to protect himself from more of Bolsinaro's nefarious activities by not allowing Bolsinaro to stage another coup and not using X for his illegal activities.

Diversity of informed thought is what's needed. So much of what Winston misses is that the debates he talks about are full of fear and religiosity that they muddy the goals of freedom of speech on purpose. They are bad faith arguments, which Winston is also guilty of. Kudos for being an advocate for freedom of speech, but he's not on the mark.
The host looks and sounds like she is melting in her seat, she may be flat on the floor by the end of the interview... 🙃 BTW... loved how he got into Nancy Pelosi's mind and under her skin in The Oxford Debate!
49:50 LatinX
33:30 Right-leaning Feminism. Louise Perry, Mary Harrington, Catholic Feminists… Agree with arts about exploitation- emphasize bio-difference, critical of porn, prostitution, capitalism. Different- very critical of 60s sexual revolution.
29:29 two new Feminist ideologies coming out now in response… Biological Emphasis and exploitation of women for sexual subservience. Against commodification of the female body. Critical of Equality. Relies on biology.
28:30 “Choice” Feminism. Gender liberalism copies this.
26:00 The Family as an impediment to personal freedom; breaking down how gender ideology is seen as a corruption of liberal tropes of “freedom”
I think what you might be encountering when university students say that they don’t feel comfortable saying in class what they really believe is that a lot of people really hold racist, sexist, homophobic, or other reprehensible beliefs, and when they voice them in class, it they get called out for their bigotry. Also, you’re kind of giving the game away when you say that excessive liberalism wasn’t the problem discussed in The Treason of The Intellectuals in the 1920s aren’t you?
"Every power you give a government, it will ultimately abuse to its maximum. Every power you give a government it will never give back"
Amazing seminar, I wish my university experience had a session like this. A great example of excellence in education!
As a research scientist in earth science, I can confirm that the UN’s Anthropogenic Global Warming “theory” is not a theory and not supported by the science yet most scientists go along with this fraud. Critical science has been corrupted and brave scientists speaking the truth are defunded and even fired from their jobs. That is why most remain silent in the face of this tyranny that afflicts the entire western world. And so it is with chemtrails or geoengineering that is poisoning the air we breathe and the food we eat. All you have to do is look up and watch a blue sky turned grey while the life-giving sun is blocked by this demonic war on life itself.
Nailed it, hope it hits the mainstream algo.
