Most people are tired of censors who propagate their moral rulesets self righteously. In the 70s/80s/90s it was the Christian right against music and video games. Now it's the progressive left against everyone else, calling them nazis, fascists, and alt right. This ostracizes the center so good luck with that...

>Now it's the progressive left against everyone else, calling them nazis, fascists, and alt right. This ostracizes the center so good luck with that... "So much for the tolerant left!" is probably wat you were going to say next. I do not call people Nazis and fascists, I wish to remove actual Nazis and fascists from the discourse. Same goes for 'alt-right', a movement composed mainly of toxic "rationalists", anti-feminists, neo-Nazis and the redpill community. I only intend to refer to these, not others. I have no support for bourgeois progressivism.

  > I only intend to refer to these, not others. I have no support for bourgeois progressivism. Well then I can only beg you to ponder about the consequences of ostracizing a large proportion of people to this "alt-right". Defenders of free speech, and enemies of censors, in todays political climate, will gain popularity versus opposing ideologies which the political elite espouse or pretend to espouse like globalization (relevant as Zuckerberg mentioned this). I'm curious how you see this turning out in the US especially, being that Trump is president and they have the 1st amendment. And it seems the main target of fake news is alternative media and conservative media, which are rallying around each other due to being attacked. The newer target is Trump calling MSM fake news, trying to turn the whole smear campaign against them. I'm curious what a self professed communist thinks where this will end up? Did you know PewDiePie was a Nazi?
