  I already don’t use Twitter, and encourage my friends not to, either. But I did that years ago. There’s not really a whole lot else I can do? Start a Fight Club, squat in an old condemned house, and blow up their building at the end? I have bills to pay and family that depends on those bills being paid.

    the most important thing you can do is organize on any anticapitalist or antifascist organization.

  What should they do? Outlaw free speech & things that other people don’t like? Guess I’ll be going to jail since I’m an atheist & will gladly call most Christians mentally ill. Since Trump is in power prob will be one of the first things he outlaws. You should research legal cases regarding free speech. Many Jews have even represented & defended Nazis rights to march & speak their opinions in public without violence or censorship. There are many good arguments & thought that has went into that case law. Just cause it bothers you doesn’t mean that it hasn’t been considered before.

    Paradox of tolerance comes to mind. If you just put up with people who want to do bad things, they’ll probably do bad things!

    And it was considered before. There was a Holocaust. It was decided, via violence and other means, that naziism is not okay.

    Also, Twitter is a private platform and is largely free to decide what goes on its platform.

    You’re approaching fractally wrong, here.

      Over 50 years of case law on the subject shows I’m right, but go on and tell me how you’re degree in emotions proves me wrong.

        There are numerous cases showing that free speech is not absolute.

        Law is also not necessarily correct.

        And that doesn’t address that we’re talking about a private platform.

        You’re still wrong, and you’re still wrong in a way that supports the absolute worst of humanity.
