Imagine if a Muslim leader called for violence?

Or rebel against tyrrany?

Active threats should be illegal, being an asshole shouldn't be

And even then there's self-defensive threats. E.g. if someone was trying to touch my girlfriend up, I'd tell them to back away or I'd defend myself and her

But bring an asshole doesn't guarantee a job

@methdragon wtf does that have to do with the topic

Being an asshole means people won't like you, as it should be

I was responding to chiper's comment

I agree with that but giving Nazis a platform is not good

Okay, but that's a separate issue.

Also isn't it in the TOS of the platforms who ban?

Nazis have the same platform rights non-Nazis have.

Free market determined that right?

this is going all over the place lol

If you deplatform Nazis you can't debate their points and you can't say they're wrong. It's like pretending you don't have cancer and refusing treatment

@methdragon you're really getting disjointed here

I feel yeah, what shin said.

If your ideology calls for violence then you shouldn't have a platforms

you can debate them in private

nobody owes nazis a platform

we're not talking about platforms, my dude

Ban Antifa?

Then ? @xmrsmoothx

<:dadrock:332397884463120384>

I was talking in the context of the GAB situation

There should be a place to talk about controversial issues and Gab fills that role, though. And yes, ban antifa, and yes, this is getting disjointed

can't keep up, imma go have a nap

be nice, stay safe yall

in the context of the gab situation, legality is irrelevant

If you don't have ANYWHERE to address the issues of Nazism, they fester and grow

@Vigil a good place to address the issues of nazism is the battlefield

they tend to respond well to weaponry

You can talk about why Nazism is bad but not that I identity as Nazi

You can have a discussion about Nazism and that should be done

Context matters I agree with that

The issue is that it's not a case of "this is a platform that supports nazis", that's more a smear. I hate nazis too, they're fucking appalling. But if we attack and oppress them they'll twist to think they're right, that there's a Jew-run far-left establishment wanting to hunt them down, and they'll get more secure in their views

When I meant Nazi I meant identifying as one

@Vigil that's a load of crap, oppressing nazis works

It's more an issue of "Should a business be responsible for its users' actions" and "Should we ban freedom of speech and override a private entity's rights to self-govern"

Oppressing *anyone* doesn't work, any oppressed group wants to rebel

We can detain them and give them a second chance
