CAN'T WAIT
There was already unrest as soon as this was voted on

UC Santa Barbara College Republicans announced Friday that conservative pundit Ben Shapiro will be speaking at Campbell Hall on Feb. 21.
The event, titled “Lies, Prejudice and Division: The Legacy of the #BLM Movement” has sparked controversy on campus since it was first announced that the A.S. Finance and Business Committee granted $5,000 in funding for College Republicans.
There was already unrest as soon as this was voted on
quote:
Dozens of Black Lives Matter supporters mounted a “Senate BLACKout” to sink Shapiro’s event. More than 150 people appeared at the marathon six-hour Associated Students Senate meeting Wednesday, where senators were to vote on final approval of the event’s funding.
quote:
Opponents, who comprised the majority of those who spoke, read a letter that notes the Student Bill of Rights from the Associated Students’ Legal Code prohibits senators from approving “any Bill or Resolution that discriminates against students.”
The letter characterized Shapiro’s proposed appearance, as portrayed in the “very title and description” of the event, as “an attack on the Black community.”

Why do progressives against freedom of expression?

Yes. Book it. Tolerance on display.

It's about to get all kinds of tolerant up in there.

the contorted argument goes typically like this
opposing views = hate speech
allowing a person to have a public forum for hate speech will (1) convince people on the fringe to hate marginalized groups (2) noramlize hate speech and (3) create an unsafe environment for marginalized groups, destroying some bullshite right to safe spaces, essentially
so they believe they have to promote censorship because "hate speech" is just speech that creates violence and violates the "imminent lawless action" test of Brandenberg v. Ohio
it's convoluted as frick

Shapiro is a beast and I'm a huge fan.
He will shred them unmercifully.

Shapiro is a bit too socially conservative and gives far too nerdy of a presentation
he'll be attacked and killed after being much more moderate than Milo
then the lord emperor Dave Rubin will reign

We love our tolerant federally-funded college campuses, don't we folks?

Don't forget that they then riot and commit acts of violence to stop said "hate speech" from happening, but then blame the "hate speech" for provoking them to violence. It's like these people are completely divorced from logic

You can understand some of the outrage over Milo but Shapiro isn't this crazy out of the mainstream Conservative. Liberals will do anything to avoid Shapiro or any young conservative activist from being seen as successful and mainstream. They must stop these ideas they hate so much. I mean Shapiro hates Trump.

I like Shapiro okay. To be honest, he doesn't seem to go more into the ideals like Milo does. Milo has better presentation. But I like Shapiro.
I haven't seen this Dave Rubin guy yet.

oh yeah
at first they came for the gay people, and i said nothing b/c Milo was honest about issues with Islamic societies
and then they came for the jews, and i said nothing b/c Ben Shapiro believes abortion is wrong

Shapiro gets protested a bunch (just not up to the levels of Berkley) and yes, he's nothing like Milo in presentation or association with Trump
after Berkley, i've been waiting for this to go down b/c their insanely irrational, emotional, and illogical arguments almost do not apply to Shapiro in any way like they did with Milo

Rubin's just a younger, homosexual Larry King.

How do these conservative speakers get on these speaking circuits? How do they become pseudo political celebrities? How can you and I get on that circuit?

i just joked with a friend on FB that now that Milo is dead, it's my time to become the "southern Milo"

I'll be your southern Shapiro then. You'll make me look reasonable and well-measured
ETA, how would you like to help me overthrow the state GOP? Villere will
be out inside 2 years, so there is an opportunity for libertarians to infiltrate the GOP committee and get one elected head of the state party.
