I promise you: conservative academics have no issue being around libs. It’s all they’ve known from grad school. It’s the libs who are uncomfortable. Appiah is projecting.

Some groups are supposed to toughen up and some are coddled. You can guess how this shakes out politically.

A full explanation of what happened to me in Paris when I tried to give a talk.

[Jared Taylor @RealJarTaylor]

Last days in Paris, not all smiles.

On Tuesday, I was signing copies of French translation of If We Do Nothing.

On Wednesday, I was about to give a talk to "Les Natifs" when police told me l I might say things that threaten public order, and forbade me to speak.

We all have seen Henry's Hand.
But millions who are not on X will never see it.

Unless we will make them see it.

In his final moments, Henry Nowak told police officers nine times “I can’t breathe” and four times that he had been stabbed.

In response police officer dragged him across the gravel, handcuffed and read him his rights.

It was the last thing Henry heard before he died.

Unlike George Floyd’s death, Henry Nowak’s plainly does reveal an institutional bias in the police. So why the demented protests about the first and the near silence about the second?

These two paragraphs of my verdict are crucial for everyone to read and understand.

"Even if all of the statements made by Van Langenhove are based on scientific evidence and statistics, it makes no difference to the criminal intent. Van Langenhove is not charged with spreading false information. He is charged with presenting facts in a way that incites hatred against persons on the grounds of one or more of the protected criteria in the Anti-Racism Law.” 1⃣

"For Van Langenhove to have committed a crime, it is not necessary for him to have incited concrete acts of hate or violence. It suffices that others are incited to take on a general attitude of intolerance or disapproval regarding a group protected under the criteria of the Anti-Racism Law." 2⃣

This means you can go to jail for "inciting hatred" even if your statements were 100% factual (see 1⃣) and even if you did NOT incite concrete acts of hate (see 2⃣).

The benchmark of "inciting hatred" , a crime punishable by prison, is thus "saying something that has the potential of inciting someone to have a general attitude of disapproval regarding a protected group". This means literally any criticism of mass migration is now a punishable offence. If you cite a statistic, and someone could potentially think less of a protected group (like migrants) because of it, you can be jailed.

The craziest part is that there is no defence possible against this. I brought the scientific studies that I cited to court, but the judge didn't care 1⃣. I also proved that the hundreds of students present at the lecture included students of all different political affiliations, and everyone was able to voice their opinion or ask questions. The lecture went very calmly, so obviously nobody was incited to hatred. But this too did not matter 2⃣, because if the judge says he believes there is the possibility that someone COULD be incited to "a general attitude of disapproval", this is enough for the judge to send me to jail, even without any evidence.

I'm telling you this to warn you that by the time these hate speech laws have come into place, it's already too late. You will NEVER be able to beat these laws in court. You have to stop them before they are implemented. Let my fate be your warning.

@PhRoose @JDVance Did he say anything false? Maybe arrogant, but not embarrassing.

[Nathan Cofnas @nathancofnas]

Just gave a talk on wokism to the Catholic Flemish Student Union at UGent.

Afterward, some woke anti-Semites responded with the only counterargument they have, i.e., violence. I was assaulted twice with a bottle of something hurled at my face. Then they ran away on a motorcycle.

In 100 years, this era will be seen the way we used to see the era of Galileo: The consequence of weird ideas becoming a legally-enforced signals of system loyalty with life-destroying results until overthrown.

For Rome, the incorrect but mandatory beliefs were the earth being the centre of the universe and all that flowed from that.

For us, it is the blank slate: The belief that people are fungible: identical and equal in all but the most superficial ways, and all that flows from that.

Arguably the most toxic meme in history.

The Supreme Court has just affirmed my prison sentence for hatespeech (memes in a private groupchat 8 years ago). Haven't got any details yet. Will meet with lawyers soon.
