Who has deplatformed Sam Harris or Richard Dawkins.It certainly doesn’t in the way these new progressive left wing factions of the Labour Party/ALP/Dems etc like to depict it.
Of course there are nuff nuff, street level, rabble organisations led by thugs like Blair Cottrell, and Neil Erikson, but there numbers and real support are minuscule.
But the modern left likes to describe ANYONE who comments on reducing immigration, engages in discussion on issues surrounding Islam etc as being ‘extreme right’. Including the likes of Richard Dawkins, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Sam Harris etc.
You may disagree with there views, but to label them as ‘extreme right’ and try and de-platform them is complete bs.
Same as the wisdom of waging an entire political campaign, on portraying your entire traditional voting base, as dumb, uneducated, racists and bigots.

So BoJo has nothing to do with it? This guy could have Rhinestoned anyone?
A local radio station overreacted and cancelled a sponsored talk.Richard Dawkins event cancelled over his 'abusive speech against Islam'
Berkeley’s KPFA Radio cancels appearance by evolutionary biologist after learning of his ‘hurtful speech’ against the religion – a charge the author contestswww.theguardian.com
That's the first result for Dawkins.
He is exactly what I would describe as hard-right
...as in firmly-correct on most things. That can be very abrasively-accurate.
I know quite a few men who are abrasively confident of their opinions, I grew up with some of them very close.
This is why I smile when some here try and stir me up.
FearWhy would an entity feel the need to react?
Are the right now trying to use athiests to make their point of view? Pity they dont actually listen to what they have to say on religion.Who has deplatformed Sam Harris or Richard Dawkins.
Sorry, I should have used the Sky News After Dark wording: “Heartless leftists, having seized control of a respectable radio station,... “Why would an entity feel the need to react?

It’s isolated incidents like this that make us latte lefties look bad.
Of course this isn’t “the left”, is it?
And it will self-correct.It isn't the left, it's the culture of being so open to worry of offending anybody at all and the persecution of those who might perpetrate the issuing of that offense to them that is. Especially when the offending comes from someone of the unapproved culture, that is someone who comes from traditional western stereotypes.
The rest of the cultures on the planet need middle class white people leaping to their defense.
This isn't patronising or elitist either when they do it.
This is the root of the cancel culture phenomenon.
Given the strongest Labour seats were majority Muslim, religion is a very strong motivator for the left in the UK.Are the right now trying to use athiests to make their point of view? Pity they dont actually listen to what they have to say on religion.
Add all the knife and acid attacks that currently plague London to the above.
What do you mean by "all the", acid attacks are confined to a handful of cases and knife crime existed long before brown people started immigrating in serious numbers. And literally every event you mentioned is the fault of radical Islam, not immigration as a whole. I have not heard of any people of Caribbean ancestry blowing people up at concerts recently.
IMO radical Islam is an excuse and not the genuine underlying reason for an increase in acid attacks/mass stabbings/mass shootings.
The typical terrorist/mass shooter/stabber would fit most if not all of the below characteristics:
- Young
- Male
- Single
- Little to no (ostensible) prospect of getting a girlfriend/wife, much less forming a family
- Underemployed or unemployed
- Exposed to radicalism (whether that be Islamic extremism or alt-right rubbish)
- Nihilistic/fatalistic worldview
IMO more and more people within the West fit this category - and plenty of people already fit into this category in the Middle East/North Africa.
The solution is to stop people from falling within this category to start off with, or failing that, identify them and get them out of this category. I have my ideas for doing this, but I suspect that many of them will be dismissed as too radical.
I agree, but you're missing what I think is the crucial aspect: drug use. Drugs will be most likely used by people with the above qualities. That is what often changes their psyche to make it possible to want to commit widespread violent crime. But they're also looking for purpose, and then an ideology like Islam comes along which gives them the spark to light that pre-prepared fuse.
