You don't solve nazi ideology with reasoned debate. You don't solve it with deplatforming either but I doubt facebook is going to start throwing bricks so I'll take it.
- DoofusOfDeath 8y ago> You don't solve nazi ideology with reasoned debate. How did you reach that conclusion?
- ratling 8y ago1940-1945
- stevenwoo 8y agoThere was reasoned debate from ballpark 1932-1938, when the Nazis have roughly 40% of the vote to go into a coalition government then somehow levered that into total control of the German state but that's more evidence for your argument.
- ratling 8y agoYes, exactly my point. History repeats itself and people on the left want to pretend you solve this problem with the debate club.
- willpiers 8y agoTotal non sequitur, low effort post. The mods are really showing their bias in this thread. People respond with their best arguments when they are confronted with bad ideas. People respond with censorship attempts and violence when they are scared that their own positions are weak.
- ratling 8y agoYou don't debate literal Nazis who want to kill or enslave everyone who isn't like them with ideas. You debate them with the US Military. Deplatforming is just a palatable middle ground. Go back to infowars.
- rangerpolitic 8y agoAre you advocating for violence against "nazis?"
- Fins 8y agoAnd of course as long as you agree with FB's determination of who is a Nazi and who isn't, it's all fine and peachy?
- ratling 8y agoIf they overreach then we circle back, basic iterative process. I see nothing in their statement to indicate that they're going to overreach.
- Fins 8y ago"Move fast and break things" doesn't quite work even in the SV bubble. Letting somebody as demonstrably immoral as Zuck do it in real life does not look like a good idea. Better not let him iterate the overreach in the first place.
- ratling 8y agoNot if 'not iterating' means letting literal Nazis have a soapbox in the tech equivalent of the town square.
- Fins 8y agoEven assuming that this premise were true, FB, Google, or any other tech company deciding who is a "literal Nazi" is a terrible idea. And of all the ways FB is making the world worse, "letting Nazis have a soapbox" is least of their problems.
