allowing doxxing in some circumstances is like removing free speech.

you don't want the nazis having the power to say what is and isn't acceptable.

The biggest problem, jokes aside, it's that it's impossible to know if a screenshot is accurate or just made up. There's a significant chance of spreading complete lies about innocent people.

While this is not contrary to your other point, they literally do, at least in the U.S. and on social media platforms.

How are we defining "Nazi" for the purposes of this statement though? Because I'm pretty sure nazis aren't in charge of any social media platform.

Nazi, with an uppercase N means people who literally march around shouting Seig Heil and Juden Raus, carry swastika's and other sybols.

With a lower case n, nazi is for those who agree with Nazis on everything, but don't wear the merch.

So, really, there's no difference, to the gallows with both of them.

Here's something in similar vein, some italians in a wine cellar with a walter white -looking dude screaming his rear end off. Firmly in the not-actually-aug-and-extremely-cool territory.

That's not a case of "released a single demo in the 1980s" though, the band has had an actual decades-long career with a real discography and a certain amount of fame among prog-metal snobs and stuff. Saw them live some years ago and they were good.

Well, the idea was there is no difference between the two. They like to pretend there is, but enabling nazis is supporting nazis and it makes you one of them.

No, it doesn't. Believing that a platform should tolerate all views doesn't make you a supporter of those views. I know that a lot of posters are ridiculously lefty, in a constant contest of oneupmanship to see who has to hottest take about how capitalism is bad and Marxism "WILL TOTALLY WORK THIS TIME YOU GUYS", but you're on the deep end when you're calling a Jewish person like Zucc a "Nazi."

I don't particularly like Facebook or their policies, but I do like the idea of platforms accepting all views.

Far be it from me to defend a war criminal like Netanyahu, but the article says

quote:

On Thursday, Netanyahu acknowledged that he is negotiating with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán for an acceptable “consensus narrative” in which the Hungarian state’s part in the Nazi crimes that wiped out half a million Hungarian Jews during World War II will be minimized, if not erased, in a new revisionist Holocaust museum to be opened in Budapest.

The headline is deceiving, since it says "Netanyahu’s Negotiating With Neo-Fascists for a ‘Consensus View’ of the Holocaust", whereas it should actually say "Netanyahu is negotiating with Hungarian leader regarding role of Hungary in Holocaust, to be featured in Holocaust museum in Hungary"

Are you now calling Netanyahu a nazi sympathizer though?

If you aren't actively trying to shut down nazi rhetoric, you're at best allowing them to do what they want, which is in their favor, making you complicit in anything they get away with, making you a sympathizer.

Views such as white superiority and calls for genocide? If you let them spout that poo poo, it validates them and gives them power. They find each other, organize, rally, get elected. The reason the fascists are taking over is because we're letting them. We are complicit when we don't tell them to shut the gently caress up. How is "immigrants are all diseased rapist criminals" deserving of an equal platform as "queer people deserve rights too" or "I baked a cake today and it was delicious". There are some "views" that should be shunned. Like explicitly harmful fascist ones.

It depends on where. I think Facebook and Twitter have the right to set the behavior rules for their platform, and they have, after all, banned the likes of Milo and other similar imbeciles.

In the public forum, however, I sincerely believe that all ideas deserve the same amount of protection. I don't think any authority should have the power to determine what ideas are acceptable or not.

If you sincerely want to discuss the topic, om happy to make a discord and shoot the poo poo about politics with you or whoever. I'm sure it can be interesting and informative. Shoot me a PM, since it's better not to derail this further. I sincerely didn't think that saying Zucc isn't a Nazi would prove to be so controversial.
