      There’s nothing to disagree with

      The problem tolerating intolerance is it only works if the intolerants, in turn, also let you express yourself after they gain power, which they won’t, because they are intolerant. You need to be lucky every time and they only need to be lucky once. And the only thing preventing the disaster is that there isn’t an infinite amount of time ahead of you

      honest to fuck why can’t we have the future where the last panel isn’t someone being dragged away by nazi fascists OR some kinda tankie government

      and im a fuckin commie saying this…

      silence a bigot and he’ll take to the streets. give a bigot an echo chamber and with any luck he’ll do more online circlejerking than IRL marching, at least

        tankies are just red fascist, literally have nothing in common with communist ideology other than a vague esthetic

        Actually studies have found that deplatforming works really well at combating hate speech. Online it can radicalize people. IRL at least they learn very quickly that there is no silent majority at their back.
