If I had to bet, most people who talk about Gab, never had a Gab account, and got his info from your average political commentator threads in Twitter and your average media pieces.
Right-wing people has the right to exist, and should have a place to discuss their stuff. If you want to close every platform they have because you find they host people with extremist views, then close all the social media all together.
If anyone here presumes that the conditions that allowed Donald Trump in office will disappear because you can deplatform such people, then good luck.
- salawat 6y agoAmen. Just wait until someone who just doesn't care runs something out of a basement. (Like the Chans were for a while). Then what? Throw law enforcement at them? This is what causes radicalization to escalate. The stakes get higher and higher, and people's worldviews further and further apart, guaranteeing contradiction and misunderstanding. Call me a discordian malcontent, but good lord, these events were painted on the wall years ago. You'd have to be dead to have not felt it.
- iagovar 6y agoThe material conditions on which Trump was allowed in office still exists. Unless the Democratic party has some quick solution to prevent large swaths of the american population to decapitalize, lose their standard of life and become poor, the only thing that's happening is that they removed a venue where this anger and resentment can transform itself into political action. So, let's wait for what's gonna happen, because this people will not just sit quiet and wait for their families and their means of life to be destroyed. If anyone thinks this is a top-down phenomena then I invite him to review it, because that's a very narrow view.
