Hate speech is not "information".

Hate speech is not "information".
- ErrantX 17y agoCareful. There is an inherent difference between "hate speech" and "holocaust denial". Suggesting all holocaust deniers are anti-semitic and want jews dead is as bad if not worse stereotyping..... (indeed I would classify it as worse: many Holocaust deniers are simply delusional and historically uneducated, or brainwashed. Branding them anti-semitic and hateful is a considered opinion in the face of reasonable evidence. And, well, hateful.....)
- ekanes 17y agoAgreed. I should have explained more, what I was referring to wasn't holocaust denial per se but the hate speech threads/posts within the category (which seem to go hand-in-hand).
- randallsquared 17y agoEverything is information. Holocaust denial is only extremely weak information about the Holocaust, but it's much better information about the speaker. :)
