- stcredzero 7y agoExactly. If we start censoring now, where's the Schelling Fence [0] between this and censoring mainstream political opinions? I already see active attempts to re-define and re-label bog-standard Republican positions as "Far Right" and "Fascist." I've already encountered many people who want to throw the fact that such positions were mainstream, "down the memory hole." What logic used to censor things here won't be used to censor more things later? The effort to censor more things has already been ongoing.
