Wherein @DavidFutrelle advocates deplatforming incels from online forums, following the ‘success’ of deplatforming the alt-right.
The ‘successful deplatforming’ narrative ignores material conditions predicating radicalisation - which haven’t changed.https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-can-the-radicalization-of-incels-be-stopped/ …

Sure - we can all agree that there is a long term problem that needs to be solved. But the more immediate problem is violent radicalisation on online message boards and that needs to stop.
-
Is it? Because one woman per week dies from intimate partner violence in Australia, I don’t know the stats in Canada but I imagine they’re at least similar. And online censorship won’t do shit to change that...
-
it won't stop DV, no, nor is anyone suggesting it will. It will do quite a bit to stop incels radicalising each other and egging ppl on to commit terrorist acts though
-
You’ve stated an immediate problem, the entitled violence against women problem, and I’m saying that problem exists within and without online incel communities, as evidenced by highest cause of fatalities for women under 50 = intimate violence. Censorship doesn’t change that.
-
No, the immediate problem I've stated is the incels radicalising each other online problem, and deplatforming does help with that. Men feeling entitled to sex is a longer term problem that needs a different approach, as we both agree
-
You haven’t substantiated those claims.
-
I am confident that shutting down violent incel message boards will stop incels from radicalising each other on those online message boards.

Which ones?
