That's not what I said. Do not put words into my digital mouth.
I said, silence -is- complicity with white supremacy. If you, after all of the injustices demonstrated in enormous detail over the last 400 years, are still silent when white supremacists continue to oppress the oppressed, you are complicit in white supremacy.
- MockObject 6y ago> That's not what I said. Do not put words into my digital mouth. So white supremacists should be purged, but those who are complicit with them should not?
- rickbutton 6y agoWe are talking about two different things. I claimed that purging white supremacists from platforms is a good thing. I also claimed that silence is complicity. These are orthogonal. I am not a decision maker for one of these platforms, and don't feel the need to draw a specific line in the sand. Your attempt at a "gotcha" is fruitless, I'm afraid. Let me turn it around, do you think that white supremacists deserve a platform?
- MockObject 6y agoIt wasn't supposed to be a "gotcha" at all. Any reasonable person would have agreed that silence isn't an expression of complicity with white supremacy, or of sexual consent, or a love of progressive metal. However, since you insist upon evading the obvious logical conclusion that your own freely-offered premises suggest, there is no turning anything around. This thread is over.
- rickbutton 6y ago> Any reasonable person would have agreed that silence isn't an expression of complicity with white supremacy I'll repeat. Silence -is- complicity. Now, the thread is over.
- lucaspm98 6y agoDo you mind explaining that statement, as I’m sure you can understand that at face value it sounds pretty extreme. Actions in silence are more impactful than being loud but doing nothing.
- rickbutton 6y ago1. Not extreme. 2. No, do your own research.
