So is this place, by banning them, but this post blaming X in a more straightforward/intuitive way is at the top of my homepage right now.
The modern internet's echo chambering scheme is so insidious, it's almost clever.
The President right now would be more like Zohran than Donald, if reddit stayed behind the leadership of Aaron Swartz - instead of selling out, taking money to interrupt what was being done with humanity's communication infrastructure.
Now, Zuck/Elon/spez/etc have fully constructed their machine, and yet, so many people still somehow can't even see the shape of it.
"Actually banning Nazis is the same as boosting Nazi views". You are not a serious person worth discussing why you are wrong lmao.
My point was more that being a Nazi is the same as being a Nazi, whether you do it quiet or loud.
Non-Nazis don't censor political discussion, whether it's censoring "don't kill Jews" to directly boost "kill Jews" messaging, or censoring "kill Jews" to indirectly boost "kill Jews" messaging. Non-Nazis are smart enough to avoid going along with fascism or helping justify ethnic cleansing.
Anyway, "not a serious person" doesn't sound like the wording of a very intelligent person, but I was serious and correct.
You've decided to gaslight me about it, so if you'd rather not waste my time with a gish gallop, that's good.
Awwww you learned some big words today kiddo.
And no its not being a Nazi to not allow Nazis into your bar. Go interact with real people instead of debate bros and you might see why.
Nope, I just woke up.
Why are you wasting my time with your low intelligence?
Would it make you feel better if I tell you I'm probably smarter than you in measures that you would care about but I don't? Also I'm wasting your time because I enjoy knowing that you're not bothering other people with your drivel when responding to me.
You're too dumb to know I can just give you short responses?
And yet it's still time you're not talking to the general public.
So you're embarrassing yourself for my entertainment for personal reasons?
