> Now that the censors are coming for you there's no one left to speak.

Interesting how you are using words that remind of a famous poem about persecution.

> First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a socialist.

> Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a trade unionist.

> Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew.

> Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

But here’s the thing. The poem above is about the the silence of people in Germany following the Nazis' rise to power and subsequent incremental purging of their chosen targets, group after group.

The nazis are not the victims. The nazis are the aggressors and persecutors.

Hate and intolerance is not about free speech nor any other kind of freedom. Banning nazis and other people who do not respect the human rights of others is not a wrong, it’s how we protect everyone else from those who have no respect for others.

I disagree with nazism, but if someone wants to preach nazism I will defend his right to say it.


It’s ironic that you mention porn given the extent to which Reddit has so many subreddits devoted to porn topics that would be considered horrible racism and/or sexism if they weren’t hiding under the banner of porn.

> and leaks it as a torrent either. Yet Aaron did just that.

He didn't, that never happened. He was accused of intending to leak it, not of actually leaking it.

Does that mean you can't be an idiot?
