Tanya Cohen Describes Why It's Hate Speech To Express Your Distaste For People Like Tanya Cohen

Tanya Cohen on another rant to justify her previous rant:

Why Do Americans Reject Human Rights When The Whole World Embraces Them?

"First up, yes, I do strongly believe in freedom of speech, and I’ve worked with many human rights organizations to protest against genuine restrictions on freedom of speech and expression, such as government crackdowns on LGBT activists in Russia. Freedom of speech is the core of all democratic societies, and it’s a freedom that must be upheld in the strongest terms possible. But the people responding to my column with anger do not seem to understand what freedom of speech is. They seem to make no distinction between free speech and hate speech, and they seem to believe that freedom of speech includes the freedom to say anything."

She believes in freedom of speech, but only as she personally defines it for the rest of us. And yes, that is Orwellian, as some critics of her previous rant claimed. She is advocating herself as dictator of speech rights.

It is true that not all speech is protected; but it is not the case that speech which offends me is hate speech, merely because I, or she, is offended. She is a case in point, along with Islamists these days and with ghetto blacks: no one can know what will offend them, and it doesn't matter what offends them anyway, because offensive speech actually is protected. If it were not, then whatever political party controlled congress could imprison the other party for hate speech crimes. And that is exactly where the Messiah class is driving the public sensibilities, as best they can. Disagreement is hate speech which must be made illegal, and the offenders imprisoned for decades or life.

Microaggression is the nuclear bomb in their arsenal at the moment. These fragile, empty eggshell people are offended at microscopic failures to look like them (racist microaggression), to have the same sex organs - no, the same "cis" vaginas as they do (sexist microaggression), to have some sort of sexual deviancy just like they do. Otherwise, if I am not conforming with their concept of being a Victimhood Class, then I am an Oppressor Class offense just by my mere existence. The prejudice is thick with hatred for the white, male, straight person. Just because a person has those genetic traits, it is a microaggression against the unstable and highly breakable racists, sexists, and sexual deviants.

"Anyone with any kind of basic, entry-level knowledge of human rights will tell you that the human right to freedom of speech always has to be balanced against other human rights, such as the human rights to dignity, respect, honor, and non-discrimination. A human rights-based approach to freedom of speech (such as the one found here) emphasizes that speech has to be restricted when it comes into conflict with other human rights. Human rights activists – including the United Nations and human rights groups all over the world – not only believe that hate speech should be outlawed, but that so should cultural appropriation and other forms of speech which violate basic human rights (in the case of cultural appropriation, the right of cultures to retain ownership of their culture and to ensure that their culture is not misused)."

The narrative words are in the proper narrative position, and they don't mean what one might think, either. Dignity, respect, honor and non-discrimination are all unmeasureable criteria which are at best subjective and so are ripe for corruption. And that is the point of any Leftist rant: first and foremost, redefine all the terms so that what the opponents believe to be upstanding pursuits are in fact corrupted to suit the domination needs of the Leftists. Tolerance becomes uni-directional with the Left not tolerating any concept outside the narrative; equality becomes equalized outcomes rather than equal opportunity; reduced spending means slightly less of a massive increase; "you can keep your insurance/doctor and the price will come down"; lies and more lies. Deception is the lubrication that allows Leftist "progress" to slide past the unobservant.

Even the designation of "hate speech" is itself an act of hate lodged against the imaginary Oppressor Class, designed to denigrate the imagined (but necessary) opponents in absence of any actual oppression. Accusations of rape culture in a country with low rape rates, accusations of genocide against blacks when two are killed while resisting arrest, accusations of discrimination against sexual deviants for referring to them as sexual deviants, all these and more are acts and speech which illuminate the hatred of the Leftist Messiahs and their Captive victimhood Classes. The focus is specifically on demeaning and attempting to delegitimized anyone who disagrees with their agendas.

Finally let's acknowledge that Tanya's title and premise is a lie: the "whole world" does NOT embrace her concepts of Human Rights, including the several huge Communist countries which dominate continents, and the multitude of Islamic countries and minor dictatorships. Most of the world does NOT embrace her version of human rights. She is comfortable with making up "facts", so comfortable that she probably believes her own lies. People like that (Obama is another) are dangerous.
