4chan and early Reddit are classic examples of this.
There are people for whom abhorrent content is what they prefer and will defend.
And they want this content on mainstream sites so they can feel like they are normal.
- throwawaylinux 4y agoYes that's true. And there are others who believe governments are the peddlers and enablers of the most abhorrent crimes, from slavery to arms trafficking to war and assassination and "intervention" to human experimentation, and should absolutely be fought at every step of the way in their neverending thirst for more power and control, particularly where private speech is concerned. The former group sadly does make a great strawman for people who are emotionally hysterical and don't care to think very deeply about the issue though.

Which is an (in my opinion) very inmature position to take. Look at the governments of western Europe, particularily Scandinavia
- throwawaylinux 4y agoOh, well I looked at them and in my opinion it is not a very immature position to take. Solid debate.
