Chapter 341: There are no wins and losses in the debate, and there is no result
341
This incident somehow alarmed Ruthberg, and she suggested that Edward fight, for the simple reason that the two sides must face to face and let the other party know that it is powerful, otherwise Dworkin will be even more unscrupulous in the future.
Eventually, he agreed.
The debate was described by newspapers as "a collision between the extreme views of intellectuals".
That's true, Edward doesn't have a good reputation among the folks - except for the LSP group, especially in the mouth of Southern conservatives, he is the Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse - erotic...... Because he opposes all forms of early censorship of film and television publications - although this view is actually implicitly in the spirit of the Constitution, it is too appalling after all, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is extreme.
As for Dworkin...... "small dickers" are enough to prove that she is an extreme anti-man, but strangely, she will sleep with Bolton, so that Edward maliciously speculates whether the mustache has made himself a high-strength military titanium pelvis, otherwise the body of the Puxin man should not be able to withstand this continuous high-intensity up and down reciprocating movement.
Edward also knew that the debate with Dworkin, like the previous one with William Barkley Jr., was not really a winner, but only a matter of each side promoting its own opinions.
The venue was in the Dwight Great Hall, where Dworkin slowly adjusted the large-caliber barreled artillery, accompanied by a series of FXXK, began her venting, and the louder she scolded, the more intense the applause and cheers from the audience...... Many people were fascinated, as if they were in the scene of a rock concert.
When it was Edward's turn to speak, a large number of women began chanting the slogan "Down with the traffickers!" "We don't want to listen to pornographic lawyers" "Horny scoundrels don't deserve to speak"
It is as if they do not know that this is a debate, they cannot distinguish between inner thoughts and social reality, and when they find a difference between the two, they will try to use violent means to change it.
These people want to censor and control not only pornography itself, but even those who defend the First Amendment – yes, the object of their censorship has changed from objects to living people, and all ideas and people that they don't see in their opinion should be examined.
Edward had little to do about it, he knew in advance that Dworkin would be a moth, and he knew that he would probably make trouble in the room, but he still pinned his hopes on the organizers of the debate, the Yale Student Council, who would at least be fair and not biased.
In fact, the conference officials, including the host, were trying to maintain order in the venue, but unexpectedly, more than a dozen men and women suddenly poured in from outside the gate, waving bicycle chains in their hands, and they called themselves "bicycle embankments......
At that moment, Edward was so surprised that he almost fell off the stage and used the bicycle chain as a murder weapon to beat people, which was not what the gangsters in the alley often did?
Why are feminists in the United States thousands of miles away playing this set?
But the breakthrough of this group of guys has brought the dawn of solving the problem......
Due to Edward's concerns, he communicated with the organizers in advance and asked them to strengthen the security measures at the venue.
The staff on the student union side felt very reasonable when they heard it, Dworkin's words and deeds caused a lot of controversy at Yale, she claimed to be a civil rights fighter, but everyone knew that the gap between her and Hansen was too big, although the latter made the lawn a miasma, but it was also a drug and alcohol, no violence, and no threat to passers-by, and Dworkin, hehe......
Usually at this level of debate, there is not even a special security guard, and a few students are hired as volunteers to deal with it.
At this moment, a small door opened next to it, and two dozen sturdy young men poured out, wearing uniform black uniforms, all of whom had poor vision.
What is especially terrifying is that they still have ...... stuck in their waists Belch...... Nunchucks
With Bruce Lee's popularity in the United States, the lethality and portability of nunchucks are also widely known, although they must be strictly trained to use proficiently, but they can't stand this thing looks handsome and deterrent, and for a time even some states listed this thing as a police weapon.
Of course, it was withdrawn not long after, and for the most heinous crimes, it is still the traditional American martial art - rapid fire of standing pistols that is reliable.
Faced with an opponent with superior numbers and superior weapons, the bicycle embankment team began to hesitate.
Bolton, who took the lead, shouted, what are you going to do?
The security captain was also kind: "Do you have a ticket?" ”
Bolton: "We're here to support the feminist movement?" ”
Security Captain: "Do you have a ticket?" ”
Bolton: "Americans with a conscience should stand up for the women's movement!" ”
The captain of the security guard did not speak, and with a wave of his hand, two big men sprang out, threw Bolton to the ground with their hands and feet, and then one carried his hand and the other his foot, and threw him out of the gate in full view of everyone......
Then, like the Boy Scouts, the Bicycle Dam Squad obediently rushed out of the auditorium and spontaneously exited the auditorium.
This made the original noisy environment of the auditorium a little better.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Dworkin immediately roared: "We must realize that as long as the obscure materials of pornography are gone, we will be free, we will destroy all pornography, whoever stands in our way is our enemy, and we will smash their heads at all costs!" ”
"If there is a law, we have to use the law to destroy these filthy people and products, if there is no law, it is even better, let it go! Of course, we have to know that the male power will not allow us to do this, so they will definitely hide behind the law to discipline our behavior, and now I am going to say fuck it, do whatever you want, and destroy this evil! ”
The moderator also warned Dworkin that it was best to abide by the rules of the debate agreed in advance, otherwise he could only cancel the debate and unilaterally determine Edward's victory.
Fortunately, the host is a woman, Dworkin's attacks are 98% ineffective, and she is quite beautiful.
Edward began to express his opinion amid a wave of boos:
What I support is that people have the freedom to choose about pornography, which is protected by the First Amendment, which means that the freedom to see is as important as the freedom not to see.
The constitution protects both.
It may seem unconscionable, but let's look at the rest of the world.
In many countries in the desert where women are not allowed to show their faces, and before that they banned all pornography, we can see that the two actually go hand in hand.
The precepts of morality will become stricter and stricter, to the point that it is difficult for ordinary people to imagine and accept, so instead of waiting until then, it is better to fully liberalize, the government will no longer assume the role of a discriminator, and this power will be ceded, and social associations and organizations can propagate their ideas and advise the public on whether they need to abandon certain publications without violating the law.
I warn you that the more moral people in their mouths - they are actually trying to cleanse themselves of what they consider to be filth in movies and TV shows.
It sounds great, but they set the standards, so when feminism falls into their standards, it can't escape the fate of being cleaned up.
Larry Parry, the famous Memphis Sweeper and Nail Rake, creatively sued Harry Rems for thinking he was administering justice, and probably you guys...... He is also thought to be presiding over justice.
But what you don't know is that before that, Larry Larry managed to prevent the release of a beautiful and artistically beautiful film about LES.
See?
When pan-moralism is enforced, the stick is raised, and no one is immune.
We should believe in law, not morality.
Yes, law is the lower limit of society, and morality is the upper limit of society.
Of course, we should try to get closer to the upper limit, but have you ever thought that the law is actually the greatest common divisor of this society, everyone in the society obeys the law of approval, and the law is fixed with the endorsement of the government and the state.
On the other hand, morality, different people have different moral values, and it is very convenient to criticize others for being immoral, and the emergence of moral courts has also increased this trend.
However, because there is no normative and accepted definition of moral standards, its connotation and extension can be arbitrarily expanded, and eventually whoever has the highest tone will be moral, which is extremely undesirable from the perspective of social governance, because speech is free, and speech that occupies a moral advantage cannot be refuted, but if someone uses moral superiority to order others to act, it is really extremely terrible.
Think about it, how did Prohibition come about?
If there had been no Prohibition, there would have been no Al Capone, and of course the people and groups who proposed the prohibition could have defended themselves with "I had good intentions."
As everyone knows, the road to hell is usually paved with good intentions.
At the same time, I would also like to say that the last time Ms. Gloria James debated with me, she also acknowledged that "the long history of anti-pornography laws has shown that they are often used against those who are politically or lifestyle-wise." ”
I want to remind you of the reality that if we Americans can't maintain the almost lawless style of behavior that we are now, it will not be the feminists who will prevail at that time, but the so-called conservative moralists in the South.
Frankly, you are here today to make a public statement because this is New Haven, not far from New York, the most enlightened and lawless place in the United States or the most morally depraved place in the mouth of conservatives, and if you are really not satisfied with the moral atmosphere here, then I suggest you go on a trip to the south, and I think life and reality will teach you to cherish and be grateful, rather than endlessly trying to overturn the consensus that people have achieved through countless efforts.
Believe me, once America is mired in moral supremacy, the first thing they want to ban is Ms. Dworkin's book.
You think I'm lying.
Well, if you watched TV three days ago, you should know about my talk show with the famous "moral man" Pastor Tom Mac.
He is known as the leader of the orthodox moral mainstream in New England, and he has been advocating for the government to crack down on pornography and obscenity.
Does that sound like you're looking for?
It was I who asked him on the show if he would be willing to join forces with feminist activists like Boxer to sweep away pornography.
The pastor said that anyone willing to join the war is welcome.
Then I asked him if his organization would choose to ban Ms. Dworkin Boxer's work if his organization had the power.
Without hesitation, he replied, "I will immediately ban this blasphemous book, which is necessary and deserved." ”
Then the pastor may have discovered the trap of the problem - after all, I'm a lawyer, and I do it well, and the pastor began to argue, "You don't have to use pornography or feminist books to outline the dangers of this sin of banning the publication, you just have to read the Bible and understand." ”
I immediately reminded the pastor that the Bible itself is the most censored and banned book in the world, both ancient and modern.
Then, instead of replying to me, the priest groped out the cross and the Bible, and I felt that he was going to perform an exorcism on me, thinking that Salem (where the witch hunt took place) was also in the state, so I sensibly decided to terminate the show.
One of the most dangerous trends of our time is to make truth-telling 'socially unacceptable' and even 'illegal' through the enactment of 'hate speech' laws.
And those who want to empty our pockets and want to harness us, have discovered a magic formula: to encourage us to be jealous of others or to be angry with others, so that we will constantly hand over our money and freedom.
'Civil rights (movement)' means treating all people equally. But now some people are so used to special treatment that equal treatment is seen as discrimination.
……
Edward spoke eloquently, this was what he was best at, or rather the battlefield he was most familiar with.
Just like the Viet Cong soldiers in the jungles of Indochina, Edward's wisdom and linguistic talents were vividly displayed at this moment, and a good legal education gave him excellent logical thinking skills, and many court appearances also made him accustomed to facing big scenes, and the greater the pressure on the other side, the more excited he became.
The muscles of thought began to swell, and gradually the lower part of the room fell silent, and most of the people here today were Yale students, who were not only stupid but also intellectually good.
As Lincoln said, you can deceive all of you for one time, you can deceive some people for one lifetime, but you can't deceive all of you for one lifetime.
Edward, though not named, spoke sharply and sharply to the heart of Dworkin's problem – she was not fighting for women's rights, but for women's privileges, privileges above the law.
Of course, there is no shortage of privileged classes in the country, but these people swear, at least on the surface, absolutely respect the constitution and act within the framework of law and even morality.
This seems hypocritical, but it is this hypocrisy that promotes the development of the judicial system and civilization in the United States, when everyone hypocrisy begins to pay attention to eating appearance, the cost of running the society will be reduced, of course, the privileged will get more benefits from it, but at this time, because the social system is fully lubricated by law and morality, so that the unarmed people at the bottom can more or less follow behind to drink some soup.
On the other hand, when the privileged class tears off the veil of warmth and begins to be extremely vicious regardless of food, then the first to become food must be the ordinary people at the bottom.
We all know this, but we also know that the existence of privileged classes cannot be avoided – at least not in capitalist society.
This is why there is the affirmative action movement, which itself is to eliminate the phenomenon of different rights in society, and to form a joint force with the lower classes as much as possible, so as to carry out a certain degree of checks and balances on the privileged class.
Of course, the privileged do not want this to happen, but at this moment the national power of the United States is thriving, the people are satisfied, and the elite has not completely degenerated to the point of becoming the watchdog of capital.
There is an extremely huge strategy behind the acquiescence and even promotion of the affirmative action movement.
In the face of the ideological export of the red in the East, the red regime does not recognize privileges, at least at the lowest level of logic, which is more than once higher than the basic logic of capitalism, and also represents a more advanced and civilized thinking direction of mankind.
This natural justice will have a great and fatal attraction for the people of the United States, especially those at the bottom, those who are still oppressed.
The United States, although it is the most powerful country on earth, think about it.
At least 15 per cent of the people in this country are descendants of slaves, whose ancestors were captured and forced to toil under the whip, denied personal freedom for the rest of their lives.
How can you let the descendants of slaves face the descendants of slave owners with peace of mind?
What's more, blacks didn't even have the right to vote at that time.
Similarly, women, who make up half of the country's population, suffer from injustices.
This kind of social contradiction accumulates over time, forming a huge public resentment and resentment, which can be suppressed by the government in normal times, but with the spread of red thought, the cost of government suppression has become more and more expensive, and the mood of the crowd has become more and more unstable.
The elite of the government and rulers are keenly aware of this hidden danger that is enough to destroy the country, and social contradictions and class contradictions cannot be eliminated.
The only solution is to let social contradictions erupt on a small scale in a certain way, and as long as the results are controllable, then even if it causes social fluctuations, it can be regarded as an overall release of pressure, and from the perspective of governance, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
As for the class contradictions, hehe, there is a naked struggle of interests between the exploiting class and the exploited class, and it will not be so easy to unleash.
There is also a solution, that is, the contradiction transformation, using the contradiction of ethnic identity to quietly replace the contradiction between exploitation and exploitation.
It was at this time that the civil rights movement was in full swing.
It provides the perfect platform for resolving the above two contradictions, on which racial equality/gender equality gains a lot of exposure and penetrates into the hearts of people across the country, where the space for people's hearts and minds is limited, so labor and income equality (anti-exploitation) is quietly squeezed out.
When the concept regained its reach in the hearts and minds of the people of the United States, it was not until 2008.
Of course, these are Edward's thoughts, and most people in the audience today can't think that far, although they are Ivy League elites, it is difficult for them to realize this with a basic education.
Rao was so, and Edward's speech was deafening enough.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Dworkin threw off the table with a loud roar and went straight to Edward with his fist raised.
Fortunately, the organizers made complete preparations, and several female security guards who were as strong as Aunt Merserway suppressed the rampaging Dworkin in time.
It also made the scene more uncontrollable.
After that, a reporter from the Boston Globe who was present at the scene published the following report
"There was a lot of anger in the debate today, and frankly, I don't like Edward Young, but I'm actually advocating for a moderate government control of pornography because I'm a woman, and I have two lovely daughters, and I'm worried about them being hurt. But I have to admit that I couldn't stand it and was shocked when I saw a group of people holding bicycle chains and claiming that they were defending women's rights. ”
Edward's speech after that was very inspiring to me, and I still don't agree with him, but I want to admit that I began to respect him, and in my eyes, he is a symbol of the justice system of the United States, which sounds very funny, but if you readers were there, you would have come to the same conclusion. After all, he always had a smile and demeanor, and his mouth was sharp, but only in words, and opposite him was a madman with a hand-held bicycle chain who vowed to do whatever it took to 'defend' women's rights."
