Hmm you know what good point. I didn't think about it from that angle. I concede and agree. We should start eradicating nazis right now, before they get too strong again
It's certainly gone far enough in terms of fascist, misogynistic, anti-semitic, hate rhetoric here. Tempting though it is to eradicate this kind of scum completely, I would settle for a post ban, to take away the keyboard warriors' ability to spread their disease.
Adam would not have allowed this, why does Lauda?
Believe me when I say that I don't believe a word of what Roach is saying BUT if we start censoring posts then isn't that (almost) as bad as the BS that is being spread by Roach and his ilk?
Essentially by stifling others from saying what they wish is a form of top down control and is aligned with the same idealism that these guys are advocating.
I think the only person/group that should be censoring posts for me is me. Oh look, there is an ignore button!
Well reasoned, my friend.
It is through taking away the responsibility for information processing from the individual and giving it to the authorities, that we make the individual eventually incapable of such feats. As such they become a helpless tool in the hands of the authorities. Which is is exactly what right and left-wing authoritarians desire. Because the unwashed masses are too stupid to think for themselves, so they, the enlightened despots have to do it for them!
(not realizing that it is precisely their behavior towards the masses which provides incentive for them to remain too stupid to think for themselves)
That said, I do think this discussion would be better served in a more appropriate forum rather than a Bitcoin wall thread!
