Your worldview is oriented around what you think is good; people who disagree will necessarily then be working for things you think are more harmful. "What you want is more harmful than what I want" is a basic function of disagreement and isn't an excuse to end discussion.

You think it is harmful if you are deplatformed and the person deplatforming you think it is helpful. This is just another moral disagreement, albeit it has more serious consequences.

"It's isn't an excuse to end the discussion." <-Assumes moral authority, but is really just another point of moral disagreement.

Right but treating all topics with such acceptance could be uplifting bad bad things. Are there certain people, not topics worth entirely ignoring? I.E. don't go to beer hall in 1930 to hear Adolf speak? An idea around bad faith arguers?

I don't ignore people just because they are harmful (unless I'm actively trying to protect myself from them directly hurting me, like with stalkers) if I could have tried to have a discussion with hitler and maybe changed his mind, I would have.

plus, trying to silence someone instead of providing genuine criticism is very lazy

Rather than see it as harmful, I would rather discuss and try to find the reasoning behind the view rather than just automatically right it off as harmful. Many times I'll see a post by you that is a multi-post and the first post has me like WTF, but reading further, I'll get it.

I also think when a person just writes someone's view off as harmful or wrong, it also causes that person to also ignore any validity of the other person's view.

gotta love asymmetric tactics applied to symmetric disagreements!

Probably true for zero-sum games or conflict games; otoh positive-sum games or mistake games generally admit that there are multiple routes to the same endpoint and harm is a matter of cost or uneven benefits I believe reframes are a good starting point for further negotiation
