fallenturtle posted:He could switch to Hatreon: https://hatreon.us/featured-creators/ He could, but isn't that site incredibly vulnerable to getting hosed with by their service or credit charging system? I mean, does Visa or Paypal want to go on record as openly supporting a site that openly racist, to say nothing of the DNS service or the web server. We're sort of at a turning point, where advertisers and companies realize that the people with money to spend (esp. young urban professionals) don't like these things and don't want to be around them. That's why there's a bunch of "fake woke" stuff and companies actually are caring instead of just saying free speech and shutting up. Hatreon also has the issue that it doesn't have nearly as wide a base to build from, and thus will receive worse terms up the chain. And again, the people who jump there are going to be the worst of the worst, which makes it hard to build up enough business to make things work in the long term. Dan Olsen discussed something similar with Youtube replacements in the past, and I have to think it also applies to payment systems. Again, people not tolerating regressive poo poo and pushing it to the edges of society is normally called progress, not something to wring hands over.

Ytlaya posted:I'm not saying the government should tolerate racism. I'm just saying that the justification shouldn't be "because privately owned platforms have the right to limit the speech people use on them"; it seems like ideally you'd just have the government directly regulate ubiquitous platforms like Facebook, Youtube, etc. I agree I'd like that as the best option. But it's not happening, so just having private institutions crush these guys is fine too. quote:(While this has its own problems, there's no solution that doesn't have its share of issues. Allowing complete freedom of speech carries its own harm, as does giving powerful private entities the freedom to control the speech used on their platforms.) Yup. I'm against internet wild west poo poo because it's very obviously a direct threat to my well being. Giving homophobes a place to congregate instead of just economically and socially disenfranchising them is just asking for a roll back of rights. I like being able to have a job and go to a store, so I always side with screwing over the racists and homophobes/misogynists as hard and often as possible.

I mean I do think property damage is bad when it is community property, something that is owned or primarily used by the people who live there. As damaging that sort of property is rarely an effective attack against anyone who is actually your enemy and mostly harms people you're supposed to be helping. But smashing up a rich university that you go to because it decided to invite milo yananapopolis to talk about how he wants to gently caress kids or whatever he talks about now is 100% cool and good.

OwlFancier posted:Indeed, if there's one thing we know from history, it's that letting them do what they want for a while before acting is the best strategy. In the US I think we can allow freedom of speech and assembly and still have time to stop them if they start breaking the law. While I think their freedom of speech should be protected, I don't think it means they're hate speech should go unmonitored. While kicking their asses may be cathartic, it doesn't really achieve anything on a larger scale and in fact can back fire as they can use the fact that we threw the first punch to try to gain sympathy and more supporters (as they are already doing).

I don't think people become fascists because fascists get punched, I think people become fascists because they're pieces of poo poo who like fascism. It's about as compelling as "I can't be a leftist because they're mean so I'm going to be a massive racist instead!"

Antifa defenders have failed to consider the cost of their crusade. Just think of the orphans and bereaved families of the broken windows. Milo outs trans students and has a long history of bullying minorities. Keeping him out of your university is an act of self-defense. Same applies to nazis.

He's naturally appealing to his potential audience as long as he's pretty and able to articulate his message. If the interviewer expresses contempt for him, that empowers him because he's scoring a point against liberal democracy, which he wishes to overthrow. The things he says only sound nutty if you believe in democracy and universal human rights.

It's true that the best way to deal with thoughtcrime is before the point that violence becomes a practical response to it, you really shouldn't be waiting to react to it, be proactive in your opposition to it.

You don't respond to words with violence. Violence against opposing political ideas is a hallmark of authoritarian regimes such as fascism. That makes everyone who punches a "Nazi" a Nazi (or a fascist) themselves making him deserving of getting punched. I haven't read through all the threads on this antifa/alt-right conflict. Sorry if I'm repeating a thing already covered.

Sorry if I'm repeating a thing already covered. Except for the fact that nazism (and fascism in general, to be honest) is an inherently violent ideology. It, by its very nature, targets a group of people as 'undesirable' and seeks to remove them from the general population of the nation. A violent response to this is, probably, the most correct response, regardless of what you think about political discourse. Beyond that, allowing these people to have a platform allows them to gain legitimacy when they speak - purely by being calm and collected about how 'those people' need to be 'peacefully removed' from society.
