- mikkergp 4y agoI don't really see what your point has to do with mine. OP seems mad that an article might talk about active violence vs potential violence. The article can't cover everything and to my original point we are still able to have those discussions. I wouldn't object to a different article discussing issues here and how they may result in violence in the future, there are hundreds of those and I would happily read and debate them -- but I also don't object to an article that talks about active organized violence against the media around the world, and how that is a different issue.
- shadowgovt 4y agoGood thing forum moderation can help nip such antisemitism in the bud by deplatforming those trying to normalize it in the 21st century.

- shadowgovt 4y agoDon't need to tell me twice, because I watch them say it. And when forum moderators catch savvy to the new lingo, they get banned. Hate mutates and the tools we use to combat it mutate too. Like any fight against malicious users, it's measure-countermeasure. And yes, people absolutely lose the freedom to express that other people aren't people using someone else's tools. That shouldn't be a debate because it's not up for debate; we already danced this tango nearly a hundred years ago and after that as well. Dehumanizing people is not tolerable, as axiom.
