Platforming fascists is shameful, yes. It does require a sneaking in of a profound false equivalency to let that kind of assertion stand and I refuse to do so.

Platforming fascists is shameful, yes. It does require a sneaking in of a profound false equivalency to let that kind of assertion stand and I refuse to do so. It, like the fascists in question, can get right out of a functioning body politic, because if it doesn't it won't be functioning much longer.
- generalizations 5y agoWhat will bring down a functioning body politic is the prohibition of unapproved speech. That's what you're advocating.
- eropple 5y agoThat is a mendacious lie. You can say what you want, even if it pleases you to empower fascists. I can use my freedom of association to have nothing to do with you or your fellow travelers with similar sympathies. That is how a functioning body politic works.
- generalizations 5y ago> you or your fellow travelers with similar sympathies You seem to have this idea that I'm fascist. Could you give some reference where I said anything that supports this?
