All this childish feelings based barbage has got to stop.
No, really. People have different opinions, and are allowed to have them, even if they hurt your feelings or you disagree. Since when did this thought crime bullshit take over? Orwell would never have thought that self policing, not Big Brother and his armed henchmen, were what would do in individual thought.
- TabAtkins 11y agoSaying "People have different opinions" about nazi bullshit is kindergarten-level analysis. Nazis are bad. Racists are bad. Claiming these "opinions" are equivalent to any other is childish and immature. Grow up and realize you live in a society with other people, and the positions you advocate for (and encourage others to advocate for) have real consequences.
- adnzzzzZ 11y agoGrow up and argue with people's ideas instead of banning them from conferences unrelated to said ideas. You stop bad ideas from proliferating by showing how they're wrong, not by acting like children and banning what you don't like.
- analognoise 11y agoSomething is "bad" as you've decided, and you're going to actively take it upon yourself to enforce consequences for those who believe in the "bad" thing. Think about that for a minute - then remember that interracial marriages used to be banned, and a person with your operating principles would have actively made it worse for those people to enforce the norm. But this is different! You say - missing entirely the point.
