True, freedom is important, but I feel like the paradox of tolerance also could apply.
Wouldn’t it then be a better idea for one of us to secretly install a ‘mole’ instance for the far-right? Once a critical mass is reached, all users from there can be banned, and someone loyal to us can make a new mole instance, claiming it’s free from their censorship. And then again, rinse and repeat.
Their places aren’t wealthy.
To me, wealth is being able to live your life in a green environment, healthy, with no pollution, being able to bike anywhere, eat healthily; with corporations having no power; being able to vote freely and fairly, and if it goes wrong, you have the knowledge that you won’t get arrested but will receive help to get back on track; and all that without an extensive surveillance police state.
In short, everything the US isn’t.
But, how would you inconvenience the Nazis then? How would you deter them from the fediverse?
I heard it’s 2,000!
Thanks, another recommendation for my block list then :3
i’m a peaceful leftist and support criticism of fascism. if that makes me toxic then you’re the problem :3
When people are forced into a corner, the only winning move is to eliminate the fascist.
Thanks for letting me know, blocked them. Blåhaj on, comrade!
Barring them from everywhere would be ideal, but if not that, barring them from as many places as possible would be good too. Billionnaires have too much power and they are the powderkeg, in my view, that enabled fascism. So imho, we need to reduce their numbers and wealth, redistributing it to everyone.
I defend barring fascists everywhere, and not compromising the resilence of the fediverse to censorship from fascists.
And as for social and political means… in Germany, the AfD has had fewer votes as a % of turnout, than what the Republicans got in the US. I think the real cure is to combat algorithms by the root, and to seize the power over them back to the left and anyone non-fascist (or not as insane).
You raise good points, but for me the issue is, the Nazis then still have their own bar. And that creates a hub for them to advertise, spread, and sow hatred. And eventually, to try to buy the owners of the media platform. This is the literal “embrace, extend, extinguish” playbook they’re using. Is that not a problem too? How could we combat it best?
I think it’s better if we shut down their bar and bar them from even coming to any bar.
They want to go to a bar? Either don’t be a fascist or shut up.
Except that what I call for is a collective defederation from those fascists.
The ones sectioning themselves off are the fascists by virtue of holding repulsive ideologies.
They lie because they believe they’ll be part of the “in-group”, while in reality, they are going to be censored the moment their higher-up has the ability to turn on them without retribution.
They are fools, but not to be underestimated.
I disagree with them being welcome, if we have more fascists over here eventually we’ll get overrun. Best to shut that door immediately.
They oppose abortion until it’s in a school shooting. It’s all about control.
They fear us because they know what we stand for.
Tbh, I don’t trust the billionnaires to support neutrality. Whenever they ever have an ability to influence, they can and will abuse it to kick people down the fictional ladder.
Because outlawing abortion can and will cause deaths. For example, if you have an ectopic pregnancy, that’s life threatening.
Or what if you don’t want to have the child of a rapist? It feels like you’re being invaded, and you don’t want a child growing up without love. And abortion clinics aren’t present because of stupid reactionaries, so trenchcoat it is.
Or what if you simply cannot afford to raise a child right now, and anticonception fails? Then abortion is necessary.
Anti-choice is murder. Has society not failed when a clump of cells has more rights than a full grown person?
They claim to protect “the vulnerable”, but anti-abortion harassers (I reject calling them activists) don’t support your right to decide what to do with your body. And that makes you vulnerable.
“Radical left” as you propose doesn’t exist. In a truly equal society, billionnaires don’t exist and instead those that would’ve been, would’ve worked the same jobs as anyone else.
turns out it’s actually a russian matrushka all the way down
Maybe us commies and socialists need to do it the same way, work against them.
Or you just parent them properly.
