> what is "far-right" that needs to be silenced, and why? I'm not about to explain why I believe YouTube should officially oppose neo-Nazism. [0] > Do you also want the "far-left" silenced? If there are left-leaning life-threatening lies being spread, YouTube should treat them similarly. It's not the left/right spectrum that matters here. I suspect anti-vaxxers tend to lean left, for instance (the natural=good branch of human folly), but it's less clear-cut on the left/right spectrum than Nazism. On a related note, jihadist recruitment videos could be described as 'far right', but that's not normally how we think of them, and it's not especially relevant. YouTube should clearly ban those videos; the left/right question is of little concern. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-Nazism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-Nazism

>I'm not about to explain why I believe YouTube should officially oppose neo-Nazism Why not? How is "things I want banned should be banned without explanation because I say so" a reasonable position? >If there are left-leaning life-threatening lies being spread, But you implied that you want the "far-right" to be silenced period, not only their lies. Why do capitalists need to be silenced even when they tell the truth and are not threatening anyone's life? >but it's less clear-cut on the left/right spectrum than Nazism. "Nazism" is fictional. It has no agenda, as it is an epithet applied to people that you dislike, who are not members sort of group, and have little in common. If you mean national socialism, that was not right wing, and I haven't seen any of these supposed "nazis" support any national socialist policies. When you can show me these supposed "nazis" demanding caps on corporate profits, employee profit sharing, stricter animal welfare laws, the expansion of parks and wildlife preserves, etc then I'll believe they are national socialists. >YouTube should clearly ban those videos Where's the line? Any muslim group recruiting people should be banned if they voice support for any muslim nation?

    Ah yes, "if I can't support my position then you are a troll". The height of intellectual discussion.
