Nazi rhetoric is so lazy and reddited. And your comment is useless without examples.
With anti-free-speech advocates continually trying to expand the definition of what constitutes "hate speech", we could be talking about totally different things.

- kinnic 4y agoOnly a fraction of the people being referred to as Nazis in contemporary, largely-online discourse are saying anything close to this though. It's a routinely misapplied term.
- the_doctah 4y agoThe examples you're using have always been illegal. Threats, libel, slander will get your speech removed from any platform. I don't know too much about their correlation with Nazism though.
- yunwal 4y agoThreats, libel, and slander must be directed towards a specific person
- 1attice 4y agoWell, what about something like 'The Libs of Tiktok', a Twitter account that routinely posts the home addresses of trans people? They get away with this by posting the address on its own, but against a trans-symbol background. Technically, they haven't threatened anyone, but the threat of stochastic violence is legimately chilling to that 'vigorous open free speech debate' that we supposedly all want, and that is so untroubling to so many freeze-peachers speaks volumes. You can have physical intimidation or free speech, pick any one.
- yunwal 4y agoThe term is irrelevant here. No matter who you are, you don't have the right to have your viewpoints amplified by a private platform unless your viewpoints qualify as protected speech.
