Fuck you and everyone here. The fact that anyone could defend this decision is ridiculous. I'm tired of people defending censorship in the most brain dead of ways when it has never worked in the past and it most certainly will not work now. Censoring unpopular ideas only allows them to fester in the dark where they can't be brought to light or addressed in the open. This was never about "racism","bigotry" or "ignorance". We are in this boat because of a much deeper set of problems that are currently going to lead to the further regression of society. Those in power, people here and the arrogance of many others have created an entire generation of people who've been banished, shunned or shouted down any time they had a differing opinion on anything. I personally am done dealing with this bullshit and the problems that have been inflicted on society. I'm done being quiet and, personally, I'd rather join the damned than continue this circus. I'm willing to put everything on the table to end this and ensure that this will never happen again. EVERYONE deserves a voice and a platform; you are more than free to not listen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_they_came_ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_they_came_...

Take a deep breath and step away for a minute. You're not alone, and lots of other people right here in this thread are also opposed to censorship. Dying on a hill isn't what we need, and in fact given that you're here, you're probably uniquely qualified to help in the great effort of building the next generation of censorship-resistant technology. Haters gonna hate, but coders gonna code. It'll take time, but we've succeeded before and we'll succeed again.

That Wikipedia article is about the rise of Nazism you idiot. Please try to tell me again we're not talking about bigotry or racism in this thread, or that the "patriots" you stand by aren't some of the lowest pieces of shit fighting for one last gasp of relevance in this brave new world.

  > That Wikipedia article is about the rise of Nazism you idiot. Are you really that dense? > "patriots" you stand by aren't some of the lowest pieces of shit fighting for one last gasp of relevance in this brave new world. I am not defending the thugs or Trump. This came about because of a much deeper problem and what you are doing is a great example of why we are here. This is about the censorship and the arrogance that has lead us to where we are today. I and many others have been censored for having arbitrary opinions that don’t fit the narrative of the majority (mob). Instead of having civil (adult) conversions, it has become more popular to take out the ban hammer or label the speaker when, in reality, the label does not apply. You can continue to water down important historical labels and assert what others believe without talking to them, but things are going to get much worse when we continue down this path.
