> Nice example of speech that is currently not allowed on Twitter. It is an example of speech that free-speech absolutism would permit. And example of the sort of view that I would not permit on a platform I am running. And yes, Twitter and most platforms ban it for good reason. > An insane slippery slope, from "Non-inclusive Language" straight to genocide! This is laughable... A great example of the way free-speech absolutists don't engage with the consequences of their views. Which is why I'm done here.

> And yes, Twitter and most platforms ban it for good reason. Thanks for pointing out that you are wrong in pretending that Twitter is governed by this "free-speech absolutism" strawman. > A great example of the way free-speech absolutists don't engage with the consequences of their views. Calling normal people nazis doesn't mean normal people are nazis, it just means that you have a serious problem. It might also indicate, depending on how much control you want to exert on said normal people, that you are a totalitarian. > Which is why I'm done here. Cool! This was always allowed. At least, on platforms with freedom of expression.
