It's too bad we're not in a bar. I could talk about this all night, and I've been thinking about it a lot.


Cheers. Come up to Alaska and I'll buy you a drink and take ya fishing while we're at it.

The recent heavy push for greater ideological censorship will end up driving centrists to places that cator to extreme content. This is one aspect of the problem which has led to further increased polarization in modern American politics.

Facebook, YouTube, and Reddit are too censorious and do not fill the role of a modern free speech platform which must exist. The biggest problem is gaining traction while a large portion of early adopters are extremists banned from other platforms.

My only hope is that the censors will piss so many people off that real free speech platforms like https://d.tube/ can reach critical mass.


Who is this 'they' you're referring to, exactly?

And what opinions do you hold that would warrant this 'they' calling you fascist?


I've been called fascist for suggesting that:

Hiring decisions should not be based on skin color.

Hiring decisions should not be based on gender.

The irony is that these were all celebrated by the left previously. Now they are seen as fascist if you aren't discriminating against white men.


Supporting free speech over hate speech legislation for example.

Or the leigons of people who claim Trump or any one supporting him is a fascist. (I did prefer Rand Paul btw)

I also had people in /r/linux calling me a russian bot and a racist because I am against the new code of conduct.


Trump very well may be fascist. He seems to want America to be more like North Korea anyway. And what was the context of your comments? Maybe copy/paste? Genuinely curious.


The left, they refers to left. If you are that clueless.
