I want people to be free to pull in all sorts of directions. There is no exceptions for things I don't like.



But that's your problem, don't try to shove that onto others, that's why we learn History in school.

If you want people to be free to promote Nazism, xenophobia, ethnophobia, racism, etc, and you're good with that because History hasn't taught you anything, that's your problem, not ours.


Heh. No. It is officially now your problem as well. Things magically don't stop existing just because you close your eyes and pretend they are not there. And here is a very practical reasons why you DO want to be able have people openly say whatever. If you can't see it, you don't even know it is a problem that may need to be addressed. At best, it is a very naive viewpoint.


Not really my problem, as there are laws in place where I'm from.

Just because things exist doesn't mean you should have a platform to promote them, this is a very basic concept.

Doesn't look like you understand that allowing the promotion of Nazism will do exactly that, promote Nazism.


<< Doesn't look like you understand that allowing the promotion of Nazism will do exactly that, promote Nazism.

You don't have to promote, but it would help if you did not actively suppress, which ties back my original point about being able to actually track what is going on. That is the problem with some people. They really do think they can control what and how people think. No. Scratch that. They really think they can influence how they will think.

<< Not really my problem, as there are laws in place where I'm from.

There are laws here too, but lately some were rather hellbent on going around them by 'partnering'.


That makes literally no sense.

I never said that there should be an institution to promote Nazism, people will do that. Look at Twitter, look at Elon Musk, that's what's happening on that front.

Now on alternative media, like , Joe Rogan, Tucker Carlson, promoting Russian propaganda stating that Hitler was a victim, and WW2 was Poland's fault, among other absurd takes that only people with low cognitive capacity and deficient education would believe.

This absurdity is reaching people in the US, and you want to protect that - which makes me question your true intentions lmao

If you believe that you can't influence people's behavior and how they think, you have not even a basic understanding on the subject and we will end our engagement here.

If you want to promote Nazism, and protect that, you're on the right track, but don't expect people from nation with proper institutions to follow through. Just deal with that.

Hopefully X will be banned in a lot of countries, the sooner the better.


<< This absurdity is reaching people in the US, and you want to protect that - which makes me question your true intentions lmao

You can and should question it. It is the whole point. I actively encourage that. This is how we grow some basic common sense and critical thinking skills. As for my intentions, at best I can say it is complicated, but it starts with: I get bored sometimes.

<< Now on alternative media, like , Joe Rogan, Tucker Carlson, promoting Russian propaganda stating that Hitler was a victim, and WW2 was Poland's fault, among other absurd takes that only people with low cognitive capacity and deficient education would believe.

If it only affects people with either low cognitive capacity and/or low education, surely it should not be a problem in a country, where nearly all real jobs require higher education. If it does affect them, maybe the factor you selected is not.. as useful as you think.

<< If you want to promote Nazism, and protect that, you're on the right track, but don't expect people from nation with proper institutions to follow through. Just deal with that.

Here you go again. Promote is not the same as allow. I am not sure, what your hangup is, but I am starting to think you are not arguing in good faith.

<< Hopefully X will be banned in a lot of countries, the sooner the better.

You will be surprised to know, I would be perfectly ok with that. I might even cheer.

<< If you believe that you can't influence people's behavior and how they think, you have not even a basic understanding on the subject and we will end our engagement here.

edit: I would encourage you to re-read what I wrote. I don't think I want to post a novel here.

<< I never said that there should be an institution to promote Nazism,

Honestly, I think you are just lost.
