I'm kinda sad now cuz the first two things I saw on twitter as I rolled out of bed were your tweet on Jay Peeples and another saying that the BBC had invited them on as 'balance' with a climate change denier. Fortunately the student office has lollypops for emotional emergencies

Yeah, I definitely think it's been getting worse ever since the tories threatened to take away their income from tv licenses a few years ago

Absolutely. The idea that the best way to stop proto-fascists is to give them a platform "so everyone can debate their ideas" has been proven wrong so many times now. No matter who "wins" the debate, having it still increases their popularity.

did you ever see Peter Coffin's fishhook theory vid? It basically asserts that the centre's obsession with "fairness" and "both sides" inherently opens them up to propagating far-right ideas simply by insisting that they deserve a platform when they really don't

I don't know if I have seen it explicitly, but I agree with this idea and have thought of it too.

Fair enough :D The flip side, at least, is that the constant whining about how unfair it is when people are deplatformed for their shitty views makes for a good barometer of how effective those tactics are
