I certainly am not. I'm saying the far right have no hope of deplatforming, say, Richard Dawkins. But that's been done successfully by the far left. They are censoring in ways the far right could only dream of. I think they might actually be jealous.
- southerntofu 5y agoThey may have no hope to "deplatform" someone from a university (except here in France where they're gaining power), but they certainly have strong success in ruining people's lives without consequences for themselves. See for example GamerGate and the many other harassment campaigns organized by the neo-fascists and masculinists, who had terrible consequences. And you say they have no hope to "deplatform" people, but hey what happened with the crackdowns on Riseup, Indymedia, Unicorn Riot, Wikileaks and other platforms? The fascists, due to having strong ties/networks within the institutions, have a bigger impact when talking about their own hurdles and we barely talk about anti-left censorship.
