When people expound ANYTHING there message will not normalize unless 1. some people find it normal and 2. other people don't explain why it shouldn't be normal
I don't think Jonathan Swift's proposal started normalizing cannibalism in Britain, since Poe's law involves the internet.
Also..... in one sense ALL views should be "normalized": communism, state replacing parents, 'the Purge', genocide of everyone east of the missisippi, slavery for immigrants, imprisoning people where they might get raped, etc
Those views should be "normalized" in the sense that if you hear that view, you should normally be able to explain Why it is a bad idea.
If people's only reason why we shouldn't execute everyone with an IQ between 80 and 120 is "go back to Mexico, commie fundamentalist"... then its going to start happening. (because you don't have an argument against it)
If you hear multiple people talking about it, the idea is Already "normalized" at least in some subculture... so you have to have a reason why that idea is bad.

Only Milo, in what way- the protests or the riots? Because the protests are absolutely happening to more than just Milo- bringing in amplification to blare white noise to drown out speeches or pulling fire alarms to shut down free speech conferences. That's more than Milo. The Berkley riot? Sure that's unique to Milo so far, but as antagonizing as he is, I have heard nothing that warrants or justifies a violent response. That has nothing to do with being apathetic or indifferent. He can be strongly and rigorously opposed without violence and without shutting him out of places to speak.

Your fine line shows no respect for the concept of free speech whatsoever, in all honesty.

And like the before-linked essays show, there's a very tepid response on the topic of causing violence against an invited speaker in this very thread. Good luck finding a moral basis to argue he's directly causing violence if you excuse violence against him. The only difference between Ben Shapiro and Milo should be how much you find yourself agreeing with them, not which one is allowed to have rights and which topics he's allowed to speak on and how passionate and flippant he's allowed to be before your fine line dividing civil rights from permissive censorship is crossed.

If President Trump were to call a meeting of his Cabinet today, he wouldn't need a very big table. Or, he'd have to invite a bunch of Obama administration holdovers serving temporarily in acting roles.
With the Senate's confirmation this week of Betsy DeVos as education secretary and Jeff Sessions as attorney general, Trump now has just six members of his Cabinet confirmed. By this point in 2009, President Obama had 12 Cabinet members in place and President George W. Bush had his entire 14-member Cabinet. Even with the expected confirmation of Health and Human Services nominee Tom Price by Friday, Trump would still be behind.
The Senate confirmation process has been unusually slow. According to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's office, Trump has the fewest Cabinet secretaries confirmed at this point in his presidency than any other president at least since World War II.
"You can't play in the Super Bowl if you don't have your team on the field," said Max Stier, CEO of the Partnership for Public Service, a nonpartisan organization that is tracking the Trump administration's progress in getting staffed up.
"They are in the Super Bowl," Stier said of the Trump administration. "They are running the most important organization on the planet, and they don't have their team on the field. They don't have their critical people in place and that's vital to being able to do their jobs appropriately."
The Trump administration would like to place the blame firmly on Democrats in the Senate.
"It would help if the Democrats weren't working overtime to unnecessarily block our very qualified nominees so that we could put leadership in place at each of the agencies," said White House principal deputy press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders in an email.
But that is only part of the story. Facing pressure from an activated base, Democrats have slow-walked Trump's nominees.

I remember the criticism of Jimmy Fallon having Trump on and joking around ... various speakers condemned it as normalizing Trump. Now he's president.
You're on the side of smearing things you don't politically like as hate. I hope someday you realize the hysteria is counterproductive and there's no wind in the sails of Milo if everyone can hear him if a campus group invites him and is free to, I don't know, reject Milo's message and the way they says it? Puritanism-nouveau, Thy name is Thieving Magpie.

Honestly, if you gave me the option to take a job where I have to be up at 5 in the morning when I'm 70, I'd say fuck that. If I can't sleep in as late as I want when I'm 70, it's time to just off myself cuz my life sucks.

No one is arguing violence is the solution. Just the the natural outcome of not giving a shit about other peoples fears or concerns. People like Bannon, Milo, Richard Spencer, David Duke and others all feeling emboldened and in power scares people. And it has become abundantly clear that no one gives a shit. The election pretty much proved that. It is naive to think that things would get less aggressive and violent after electing Trump.

Trump works incredibly hard and always has. He considers vacation work and work vacation. It's his strongest quality by far outside all of his bullshit. Maybe narcissism drives it, but the result is an admirable work ethic.

At the pace I'm going, I'll be waking up at 5 AM by 70; it really splits both ways as you get older. My guess is that the quality and length of the sleep is the bigger issue, and I'd guess Trump doesn't sleep well. (nor do many Presidents, though Reagan and Clinton may be exceptions)

It's not so much the act of waking up early but bearing the responsibility of a job where you have to. By the time I'm 70, I don't expect to be responsible for anyone else. I'd barely expect to be responsible for myself.

I hope the 9th rules against him just so we get another damaging tweet. Just more evidence to use in his eventual impeachment hearings.

Fair enough; I'll say that unusual attitudes towards late life are fairly prevalent among lawyers, particularly those tilted towards the judiciary. It's not an uncommon opinion among federal judges that the best opinions are only written by those of advanced age, but that tradition seems to be changing given the age of judges appointed during the last few decades. Gorsuch could sit for close to 30 years without breaking a sweat lol, that shit's nuts.

Your wish has been granted. I would also point out the DOJ's request was stupid. They wanted a TRO against a 14 day TRO. You can't stay a stay. They could have just waited until the next hearing, but DT wanted it removed.

That is quite the elitist and arrogant attitude you have there, and it doesn't even justify the reaction on college campuses. Just declare your opponents as arguing in "bad faith" and then shut down debate and resort to violence. Great strategy.

Jackson was the son of a mulatto whore, George Washington was an autocrat divisive disgrace. America survived, and I didn't hear bands of Englishmen cannabalizing the Irish poor. I don't know if we've progressed from that point: they wouldn't have let a gay Jew speak for other reasons than what he might say.
