You are correct, there are centre-right and even far right people in NLUs, even in top ones. I know quite a few of them, and 1-2 are already working with political parties. In terms of numbers, they would be much lesser than the leftist ones, who are usually pretty loud and vocal about their viewpoints, and thus present and more visible [iykyk]. The same is the case with the faculty. It is because of these two - and especially the faculty - that the centre right or the far right is afraid to speak up - the faculty would cut their marks or fail them for their political views [which they are entitled to do so, which the left advocates for, but conveninetly forgets when it comes to the centre-right] and then the students body. On LI, as someone correctly said, the presence of the leftists are more and hence the voices of the category of the people you are speaking of aren't heard. I am not even sure if this comment will be published - as LI has previously censored/marked my comments as trollish. Its so funny that in a country where we can exercise free speech, LI's snowflake mods choose to censor comments as if they are the government. If even a part of this or the entire comment is censored, I must say, I wish the worst for you, you snowflake Mod
1. Calling mods 'snowflake' is not a bona fide attempt to engage in discussion.
2. Please learn constitutional law: the government has a duty to you to protect your right of free speech, internet platforms or people's living rooms have no such duty to you.
3. You are constantly posting spam about law firms being places to do clerical work and only litigation being real law. We get it, you really do believe so and have reasons for it, but it's not what the person has asked and is a trollish attempt to derail a thread.
It means the current LI mods are stalking users by looking at their IPs.
Sure, I'll go learn constitutional law. You please go and continue censoring comments because that's what you love the most.
Has the same spam being posted here? No? I believe you can read, and I don't see any such spam here. There is no reason to mark that comment as trollish then. Other than, perhaps, you having any issues.
If this comment is published without being censored, we'll know that you help engage in meaningful discussion, since all the 3 points you made have no relevance/justification, and I make a genuine attempt to show you that
re OP, this has been discussed before: most RW vs LW vs blabla posts will be automatically marked trollish because they're usually off topic and not relevant or interesting to most readers, and are usually posted to provoke a flame war.
There are several comments made by the same person which have been marked as featured. You wouldn't know that because you have no knowledge of the same. You can keep barking whatever you want to
OP clearly misunderstands that even conservative personalities by "liberal strongholds" are very few and far in between in comparison to their total intake of students. Most importantly, the post clearly misunderstands the fact that there are conservative views held by lawyers and law students in almost every NLU. Just because the views are not widely held does not mean the views are non-existent, it mostly means that the person advocating for such views is not doing a good job in supporting and defending his views thus is not considered good enough to be supported or given limelight, or in some cases even if the "conservative" view on certain situation is really bad thus is not supported.
Second. I think the left censors, it introduces social sanctions for wrong think and wrongspeak. If you have a contrary political view you wont let LORs, you wont get those networks, you dont get to be in some rooms. When was the last time a centrist even got the rhodes scholarship? Thats career sanction.The left stops debates where possible. It deals by not engaging with ones arguments but by simply characterising those arguments as some sort of ism.
