You’re not dumb, it’s political compass memes AKA the sub where openly calling yourself a fascist is based and where self proclaimed “anarcho communists” talk about how trump is actually a working class hero and that trans people are the problem. If anything deserves to be nuked, it’s that

Well nobody on that sub is actually an anarcho communist. It’s either feds or right wingers posing. They know basics like kropotkin and Bakunin but they don’t really understand it which says to me they’re just bad actors. I’m not even an anarchist and I’ve probably read more anarchist theory than the “anarchists” on that sub

u/Mekrani Literally shaking and crying and shitting and cumming rn 11h ago edited 10h ago
Nah, that never worked and deplatforming has always been the most effective means.
By letting them keep their little shithead corner on a popular website, you allow them a space to proudly proclaim their shitheadedness, and grow by finding more shitheads and converting people already on the platform into shitheads.
Every time you nuke a group like that you scatter them, with only a chunk being able to organize into a new, now smaller group, ones that try to infect normal spaces usually get immediately put in their place by more well adjusted people already there, and some will leave the website altogether and go to more obscure ones where they'll have harder time recruiting.

u/Cyber_Fetus 10h ago
Absolutely not. It provides them an echo chamber to amplify and embolden intolerant views that normal civilized society would shut down, like blatant racism, sexism, homophobia.
Like say a 14-year-old stumbles upon a sub supposedly for gaming memes and it’s just a circlejerk of dudes shitting on women in video games that don’t adhere to their conventional beauty standards. The teen will just see everyone in the sub cheering on the misogyny, and anyone speaking out for women will be shut down, thus promoting intolerance. If the same shit were posted elsewhere it would rightfully be shut down for being wildly misogynistic, and the teen would see that’s not okay.
Thus is the paradox of tolerance.

Uh, has Twitter become less radical or bigoted since the free speech people took over? Humans are not inherently logical or truth-seeking. For bigots and idiots, being openly sexist and racist is fun and cathartic, and the more you allow it socially the worse it’ll get.

u/Aggravating-Role2004 1h ago
If this subreddit is any indication of the response people have to bigotry online then the dialog being had is often not productive. But you're right tho, there's obviously going to be people who just like stirring the pot but we wouldn't have people leaning right en mass without reason. The fact I could talk about the woke=bad game arguments on gaming memes with minimal hostility instantly endeared me to that place. Any conversation here is a shit show.

Is that the number for residents of the US who can’t read English or the one for high school graduates who can’t read in their first language? IIRC the two numbers are almost identical, which is fucking crazy.

They targeted gamers.
Gamers.
We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.
We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun.
We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.
Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.
Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?
These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We're already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren't shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.
Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another boss fight.
