No one “deserves” a platform. People should have the right to free speech, but equal volume has never a guarantee. That’s up to your community.

As much as I would probably disagree with their messages and posts, would they not do the same to us if the positions were to be switched?
I personally take a stance closer to “all deserve a connected platform and if you don’t like it, block them” as even if I might disagree with them, they still deserve a platform.

If you’re on board with platforming Nazis, YOU ARE A FUCKING NAZI.
Fuck off, Nazi.

I do not support them nor what they do, but my belief is that every person deserves the freedom to speak their mind even if the message is hateful or I completely disagree with it.
I for one do not support hate messages directed towards anyone besides communists, yet I still believe they should still be able to speak their hate since that is true, uncensored free speech.

Yeah, this is what makes the entire position untenable, dangerous, and shortsighted.

defederation is not censorship

Lol. See US Republicans. Nah, tolerance should not be a mistake we repeat. Let’s go back to the Indiana Jones style of tolerance towards Nazis

The paradox of tolerance disappears when you view tolerance as a social contract rather than a moral absolute.

Maybe you should join them with this shit take, you’d fit right in giving the mic to Nazis and terrorists.
