If they're not willing to be reasonable (like, you don't get to "dialog" about whether or not genocide is appropriate), then the best and most moral course of action could very well be to stop them from recruiting your friends.
In the context of tech, this is the essence of deplatforming. Twitter and Facebook cannot censor, since they are not governments. However, as private entities, they can decide not to let you use their service. That's their private property rights in action.
- jude- 6y agoWow, so many downvotes for saying that debating genocide is never okay. There's truly nothing to debate -- it's always wrong, and we would do well to kick out users who would say otherwise, lest they start organizing. Seriously, wtf is wrong with you?

- saalweachter 6y agoOne of my all-time favorite metaphors on the internet: "I really don’t understand how bipartisanship is ever going to work when one of the parties is insane. Imagine trying to negotiate an agreement on dinner plans with your date, and you suggest Italian and she states her preference would be a meal of tire rims and anthrax. If you can figure out a way to split the difference there and find a meal you will both enjoy, you can probably figure out how bipartisanship is going to work the next few years."
