let us witness a man who went on tv to do a bullshit segment and wound up speaking the truth

In the Greek conception of parrhesia, however, there does not seem to be a problem about the acquisition of the truth since such truth-having is guaranteed by the possession of certain moral qualities:when someone has certain moral qualities, then that is the proof that he has access to truth—and vice-versa. The "parrhesiastic game" presupposes that the parrhesiastes is someone who has the moral qualities which are required, first, to know the truth, and secondly, to convey such truth to others.If there is a kind of "proof" of the sincerity of the parrhesiastes, it is his courage. The fact that a speaker says something dangerous — different from what the majority believes— is a strong indication that he is a parrhesiastes.

To summarize the foregoing, parrhesia is a kind of verbal activity where the speaker has a specific relation to truth through frankness, a certain relationship to his own life through danger, a certain type of relation to himself or other people through criticism (self-criticism or criticism of other people), and a specific relation to moral law through freedom and duty. More precisely, parrhesia is a verbal activity in which a speaker expresses his personal relationship to truth, and risks his life because he recognizes truth-telling as a duty to improve or help other people (as well as himself). In parrhesia, the speaker uses his freedom and chooses frankness instead of persuasion, truth instead of falsehood or silence, the risk of death instead of life and security, criticism instead of flattery, and moral duty instead of self-interest and moral apathy.

It's a sea of anti fascist humanity out on the common . The nazis etc are literally holed up on the bandstand, separated by barricades and cops. You can't hear them at all over the crowd. Not sure they 're even speechifying at this point

classic behavior on display here. KKK leader makes deeply appalling violent racist statements aloud to a reporter, then claims that neither he nor his wife are racist or condone violence
after threatening to "burn" her, he adds Barker denied that he led a hate group. Both he and his wife said they “don’t hate anyone,” were “not racist” and do not condone violence.

I think this World Series incident is worth a crossover from sportsland.
https://www.sbnation.com/2017/10/28/16563112/yuli-gurriel-yu-darvish-racist-gesture-world-series-game-3-response
It's complicated by the fact that Gurriel is Cuban, and acc to many white guys online "doesn't understand our culture." It overlooks the fact that he played in Japan for awhile.
This may blow up further today depending on whether there's a suspension or not.
