LWDT 8: Hitting the Marx

[Torrocca]

I love the tears of the far-right crying about being deplatformed in the morning. So delicious.

I love the smell of irony in the morning.

They're being bad losers, while the gloat gang are being bad winners. Both are falling short of being their best selves and not casting themselves in a great light.

The most hilarious point about this is that this isn't a win for the Far-Left either. It's specifically a win for the center left, which is slowly but steadily gaining the upper ground while the two Fars punch each others' lights out in the streets.

I lost any sympathy I had for fascists a while ago. I'm not going to pretend that I feel sorry for them when I don't.
Sure, some of them are stupid and misled, but this deplatform doesn't hurt them, it hurts the ringleaders, the people organizing the movement in the first place. And it's not like they were going to listen to reason in the first place. I've met enough fascists on NSG to know that they never do.

Fine by me. If the tankies go down, they stop giving a bad name to the rest of us. No big loss there, especially if their fall hurts the fascists even more.

Different experiences here, can't entirely relate. Of the fash gang, only the Hitlerists have struck me as notably more unreasonable in conversation than your average dweller of the "political Internet".

Eh, the ones I'm talking about aren't exactly raving lunatics. They just refuse to accept evidence that disagrees with their narrative, so trying to debate with them is pointless. Which I guess is a trait of all Internet warriors, but fascists tend to take it to an entirely different level even if they're not out-and-out Nazis.

Very few people do accept contrary evidence or change their mind except on those issues they have very little emotional investment in. Those we disagree with us most are of course the most unreasonable for not doing so, despite frequent contact with our surely watertight arguments

I've moved on a few fairly important things but that's mostly because I'm flakier than a testing lab for anti-dandruff shampoo.

It's not a win for the Far-Left, but we've been getting fucked over whenever it comes to speaking publicly since basically forever now, so we might as well relish in the Far-Right getting a taste of its own medicine.

Oh, make no mistake. It's absolutely soothing for the soul to see people be sane enough to deplatform them when the government isn't sane enough to do it for them.

Question from someone outside of the known.

Who are these people?

I haven't claimed to be "an" for more than 2 years. I have never claimed to be a "com". I support censorship of opinions I don't like. I've made a point of pointing it out almost every time an argument about censorship pops up.

That was more in reference to Torra than you, fyi, hence why I quoted both

I realize you were mostly throwing your regularly scheduled jab at Torra, I responded because you quoted me too.

Because it went with the other part of that section of the post.

If they're going to say that corporate censorship (and censorship in general) is good, then it's quite cathartic to see them get censored regardless of whether or not censorship would be a good thing in most other contexts.
'Sides, since when would the right shed any tears over communists being censored?

If it's catharsis it's presented more as legitimate support, which is still bad.

I wouldn't "shed tears" (not literally, anyway) but I'd definitely not agree with the move.
Let the commies self-censor, it's just as effective without any responsibility on the part of the website.

IT'S ALIVE!! But, seriously folks, I'm back. What's happening?

Oh, you’re back!

That I am. This was definitely a mistake.

By capitalist logic corporate censorship is fine. Plus I have zero problem censoring fascists, far-rightists, etc except I would use the government as opposed to corporations.

Government censorship isn't bad lol

Yeah, but you're an ML. That changes a lot, so this is entirely in line with your ideology.

I see you're bringing out your usual uncritical jabs. Perhaps you'd fancy yourself to learn the difference between thinking corporate censorship is good and laughing at the far-right getting a taste of its own medicine? Or how denying somebody a platform isn't censorship?

Seeing as how you're probably not gonna bother thinking about it critically, though, I'm just gonna leave this as my one and only reply to you to save the headache you intend to create.

Also, you can still be an Anarchist and realize that the rough equivalent to denying somebody the ability to use your home to preach some hateful bullshit is hardly censorship. I guess right-wing """Libertarians""" only value freedom of association when it benefits their ideology, though.
