      There’s no secret conspiracy among tech activists to deplatform violent white supremacists. We’re asking openly to stop supporting people who use the tech we create to foment violence and bigotry.

      I am tired of receiving death threats. I am tired of seeing entire communities arguing that they should be allowed to live.

      The slippery slope isn’t “if you silence Nazis you set a precedent for silencing everyone.” The slippery slope is “if you let this cryptic violent thread to stand you will enable others and *that* will lead to the silencing of the vulnerable.”

          There is nothing principled or brave about defending white supremacy. Bravery is defending and supporting minority communities

          I know this cartoon of Karl Popper's paradox of intolerance has been making a lot of rounds, but I'm going to drop it again anyways. Popper is worth reading.pic.twitter.com/tWn9VAFGqt

          Should a tolerant society tolerate intolerance? No. When we extend tolerance to those who are openly intolerant, the tolerant ones end up being destroyed. And tolerance with them. Any movement that practices intolerance and persecution must be outside the law. As paradoxical as it may seem, defending tolerance requires to not tolerate the intolerant.

          Yep. This is how forums work. You get rid of bigots or people leave because they're sick of all the bigots. There is no way to keep everyone so choose who matters to you and act accordingly.

          Alright, time to speak up. I've run a forum that I created over 15 years ago now. I've seen on the micro level what bigger sites deal with on the macro. And what I have seen is that you contain / get rid of bigots or decent people leave because they're sick of all the bigots.

          The slippery slope argument is such a bad one because the argument is always “where does it stop?” And the answer is obviously somewhere. Everything has to stop somewhere

          No doubt. Violating the TOS and then whining (and lying) to "big brother" about it just makes clear how craven and desperate you are. Wanna participate? No threats. No racist dog whistles.

          NOBODY has to respect or sympathize with the views and actions of neo nazis and related white nationalist and fascist groups. If you wanna be tolerant, respect and humanize every breed of human. Every skin tone, ethnicity, nationality, sexuality, gender/identity, sex, and ability

          Almost nobody does that. Whenever people are complaining about and preaching violence towards nazis, we all mean actual neo nazis and their partners like the alt right and kekistan and neo confederate and the proud boys and KKK. Which are mostly different, but share their views.
