As far as I see that instance is a far-right cess pool. Everything I’ve got from that instance were low-quality transphobic “news articles”.

    What you are suggesting is that we, as a society, are incapable of discerning right from wrong and enforcing societal norms at all ever. Because who knows? Who has the power to determine these things?? hand wringing, pearl clutching

    Let me tell you who: Anyone with two brain cells and a heart. Fascism has a clear definition. People who are being called Nazis because they openly hate and advocate for the genocide of trans people are being called Nazis because THEY ARE ACTING LIKE NAZIS.

    We absolutely have no obligation to air their bigoted, make believe grievances in public. We have every right to shut them down and shut them up to protect vulnerable minority populations.

    Stop JAQing off and pretending otherwise.

      Nazis exist, and they are abhorrent. But is it fair to label the entire community of exploding-heads as such? Or, is it that the platform tolerates a broader range of discourse than you are comfortable with? Yes, Nazis may be part of the mix, but so too might be their staunch opponents. Assigning people to preconceived boxes based on assumed beliefs isn’t conducive to understanding. While we concur on opposing Nazis, I refuse to disregard an entire group’s perspectives because I may disagree with some. It’s crucial to engage with opposing views for a balanced discourse, a principle applicable to everyone.

        It is NOT crucial to engage in any kind of discourse with fascists who advocate genocide (aka Nazis)

        And you know what you have if a “normal” person sits down to dinner with 10 Nazis? You have 11 Nazis.

        There is no room for tolerance of Nazis, nor of those who coddle and enable Nazis.

        So yes. It’s fair.

          Therein lies the problem, who says they’re nazis? Just some person on the internet? I’ll decide if someone is a nazi for myself, I don’t need protection.

            Their behavior being exactly consistent with the definition of fascism and their persistent genocidal intent toward minorities says they are Nazis.

            You can’t possibly be this stupid. It’s not that hard to identify fascism… Stop being disingenuous

              No, it’s not that hard, but I don’t think I agree with your criteria for fascism or who “they” are. Like, who are you talking about? Everybody on exploding-heads? Anyone who calls themselves conservative? Literal nazis? Those are all 3 different groups with some overlap for sure, but that doesn’t mean they’re ALL inherently wrong. I don’t agree with hasty generalizations and I think people need to start thinking critically and with nuance. Life just isn’t as simple as you’re trying to make it.
