      Also, I suspect but could be wrong that this conversation is an example of what I mentioned earlier - there is a hard-to-express distinction between "What you said is bad" and "What you said should not be said". +

      I don't want there to be Nazis. Given that there are, I want to make the costs of being a Nazi very high (without violating the NAP). I want to bring social pressure against being a Nazi. I want to ostracize them. I want them to be penniless. ... for BEING Nazis. +

      > I want them to be penniless. I don't. This is a very slippery slope.

      why do you want someone who has evil / wrong beliefs to be penniless ? srs question do you want them to have cancer? what's the difference?

      I anticipated this very point as soon as I typed it, and began composing a response (to myself). I think my answer is this: I am at war with Nazis; I want to destroy them by any means necessary. BUT. I am cautious in my choice of weapons, lest they be used against me someday. +

      So I promulgate a Geneva Convention, a Schelling point which I believe everyone who fancies themselves part of a liberal society might be able to support, even if they could gain an advantage for their own faction by breaking it. +

      Conceptually, I think there's something about /infrastructure/ - which certainly includes publishing, but maybe also includes things like access to a job market? I.e. take down the enemy but don't poison the waterways, because we all have to drink there. +

      I see two possible reasons to wish these penalties on bad thinkers: - to punish them, because it's fun and good to cause misery to bad people - to set incentives so that people don't a̶d̶o̶p̶t̶ admit these beliefs are there other reasons? which is yours?

      >which is yours Not punishment. A little (a lot?) of setting incentives. Some of erecting barriers to adopting the beliefs. Mostly, I think, to keep the holders of said beliefs far from me, as I don't wish to share a society with them.

      I tend to think that almost zero Nazis in 2020 truly hold Nazi ideology they mostly hold rage and incoherence I'm not sure long time horizon incentives have much effect on such ppl I also worry about creep, because we've ALREADY SEEN Curtis "renowned slavery apologist" Yarvin

          Assume every reference to "Nazi" in all of my tweets is about a hypothetical fictional group of people with truly vile sincerely-held beliefs, who bear no resemblance to any actual persons in the real world, living or dead Probably should have said "Birdwatchers" instead

          there's an interesting thing with punishments where you want to make it hard to defect into badness, but easy to defect back there is a reason dictators fly out of small countries with suitcases of cash and live life in Paris we intentionally make this easier than fighting

          A subtle and underappreciated distinction, as I have noted elsewhere.https://twitter.com/moritheil/status/1145445007379374080 …

          Mori @moritheil
          This trick won't work on people who are precise about their thinking, such as those who know that none of the modern parties are truly "Nazis" or even 1930s Italianate "fascists." But that kind of careful thinker may be estimated at about 2% of the general population, at best.
