And we all need to have the basic understanding that words do not condone violence. Which is why speech is legal and violence is not. There are certain rules we follow that we all understand benefit us all.

We don't all have to agree. And we're not all going to agree. That makes life hard, but it also makes life beautiful

yep, absolutely

these were very like Tree's words to me a few days ago

I don't care who disagrees with me; I do care that things I think or say aren't mocked and called uneducated or unreasonable; one is debate, the other is bullying

You’re worried about being bullied while defending Will Smith going out of his way to smack the shit out of another man for making a joke he didn’t like. Wow.

Chris Rock is a bully, so yeah

if you'd call them both bullies, that's reasonable, but just Will? nah

Rock bullied, Will reacted

I have one story in my life of getting back at a bully; it's a good story lol

So jokes a standup comic makes about another person is bullying?

yes, countless shitty comedians are bullies; I watch very little comedy anymore because so much of it is based on cruelty

It informs one to conclude that the person speaking was not wrong, but the person being violent was.

a Nazi is speaking hate at a Nazi rally

he gets punched and he's no longer able to chat his shit

the Nazi was violent, the person punching him did a cool thing

my original position was "Chris deserved it"

it remains the same

I can't imagine how low the bar is. You probably think more people deserve violence than don't.

If it is hate speech and was inciting violence, then I can see this becoming more debatable. The motives are clearer in that scenario. When it comes to a comedian like Chris Rock, in this instance, it's just incomparable.

Your position is not "communist-adjacent" and this is a MLG joke that was not meant for you.

But you don't know it was ableism. She felt offended for such reasons, yes? But do you really believe Chris Rock was actively trying to hurt her feelings? You said before that it doesn't matter what his intentions were. Therefore, her feelings trump all, yes?
