Isn't banning/silencing communities like these the real radicalization?
- ebg13 7y agoThey're not being banned or silenced. They're being told "get off my property".

- cthulha 7y agoYou have an implicit model of how radicalization works which is out of sync with the model others are applying. The counterexample is that, when racist/fascist/white supremacist content became easier to access through online unmoderated forums such as 4chan, the level of online & offline activity and recruitment became higher. Secondly, it's hardly news to these communities that they are disliked by others. Have you met an Edgelord?
