Comment on YouTube relaxes moderation rules to allow more controversial content
regul@lemm.ee 3 days agoMy ideological opponents are already silencing speech. I gain nothing by ceding that tool solely to them.
As long as fascists exist they must be silenced. When they seize power, they will not do you the courtesy of allowing you to speak just because you let them. It’s naive to think otherwise.

Uh huh. I can fire up Social Media and find endless content openly discussing the entire spectrum of Political,Cultural, and Economic beliefs. You aren’t being silenced.
Define “fascist”.
Which is precisely what you yourself are proposing. Congratulations, you are rubbing elbows with the very people you claim to despise.
If you do not tolerate dissent then you are ethically and morally inferior. Full Stop.

Ah yes, the classic “lOOk aT tHE TOlEraNt LEfT” argument.
Or is it maybe this one?
Image showing a stick figure saying they want to destroy a group of people, another saying they want to stop the first by any means, and a third claiming they’re exactly the same.
This exact argument has taken so many forms in the past decade, and they’re always founded on the same fallacy. It’s a false equivalency.

The person I was replying too didn’t mention Left or Right and neither did I.
Silencing your ideological opponents is ethically and morally inferior and I don’t care what your supposed motivation is.

Question: are you really this dense, or just acting in bad faith?
“I want to eliminate all of insert racial or religious slur.”
“That’s bad.”
“I want to stop that person from saying and doing that.”
"That’s exactly as bad.*
