This statist is pushing central economic planning that will make us poorer if he succeeds. https://t.co/4S891I3zxD — PolitiTweet.org

@IyengarGiri Yes, imprisonment, not the death penalty. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@IyengarGiri Seems like you've concluded I'm not hateful enough. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@IyengarGiri Yes, I believe in the inherent dignity of all humans. That's why I oppose the death penalty, even for murderers, and oppose torture, even of terrorists. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@originalspin @Alexandraofthe1 Again, my bad, I thought the tweets were directed at me and couldn't imagine how they applied to what I said. Turns out they didn't! — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@originalspin @Alexandraofthe1 My apologies for misunderstanding. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @costareports: When you read news stories about Bannon defying the subpoena, think about why. Think about the scenes we know about and r… — PolitiTweet.org

RT @costareports: Important to remember what prompted the subpoena — scenes in PERIL showing Bannon and Trump speaking about the 6th, think… — PolitiTweet.org

@originalspin @Alexandraofthe1 We are talking about a comedy special by a Black man. I am saying it *shouldn't* be removed. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@originalspin @Alexandraofthe1 You're strawmanning me due to a failure of reading comprehension and discernment. What I've done is ask a question of the subset of people who do want it removed. You're misrepresenting my question, needlessly spreading fear of a thing I haven't done — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@originalspin @Alexandraofthe1 Right, that's saying that it's good that organization isn't getting its way because under that changed standard we'd lose all sorts of art — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@originalspin @Alexandraofthe1 Did someone claim that had happened? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@originalspin @Alexandraofthe1 The National Black Justice Coalition. — PolitiTweet.org

@IyengarGiri You wrote, "you’re a perfect example of someone who will never feel any consequences stemming from your remarkably ignorant and hateful public opinions." & you acknowledge I have put forth no such opinions. You're crying wolf at someone who believes in the dignity of trans people — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@IyengarGiri You haven't named any hateful stances I have. You just say I have them without pointing to any, like someone who accuses another of being a criminal without being able to point to any crime. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@IyengarGiri It seems like you're feeling hate in this conversation. I am not. I'm trying to figure out the nuances of what people believe and why they do, because my job is to do so. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@IyengarGiri I think everyone is entitled to their opinion about what is harmful. I don't know what a "white ass terrier" is. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@IyengarGiri I'd be happy to discuss it, but since you don't yet know what it is I'd first like to know the basis for your claim that I have hateful opinions. Which one? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@IyengarGiri Of course. You characterized some as remarkably hateful! Which ones? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@IyengarGiri Which opinion do you regard as hateful? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@IyengarGiri I don't hold any hateful opinions. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@IyengarGiri A cockroach is a subhuman creature. Hitler and the Nazis used that kind of rhetoric to justify genocide. That's why they're is a taboo against dehumanizing people. No human is trash. No human is vermin. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@IyengarGiri Saying "Conor is an asshole and I hate him with a fiery passion" is bigoted. Saying "Conor is a cockroach and trash vermin like him should be exterminated" is dehumanizing. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@karlitaliliana @jamesrcole So what does "it takes power to do harm" mean if everyone has that power? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@karlitaliliana @jamesrcole If a homeless person murders a billionaire does that cause harm? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@IyengarGiri One can believe that it's objectionable to question the gender with which someone identifies without necessarily believing that doing so questions the humanity of the person involved, which is a distinct and terrible thing that does happen. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@vituperativeerb @NonsenSegue I have considered the consequences of the comedy status quo, and I do not believe it to cause harm. I could be wrong about that, but I keep asking for evidence of the harm, and so far no one has offered any that is persuasive. *13 Reasons* on the other hand... — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@vituperativeerb @NonsenSegue I have not claimed that they're preferable because they map onto the status quo. I have asked others to articulate more about their preferences to better understand the consequences that would flow from applying them. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@fakechuck @jduffyrice @mattpacenza Some of the people have to be talking thoughtfully, like this https://t.co/VsmE6p28aM — PolitiTweet.org
