The free speech of facsists shouldnt be protected, Im glad there are hackers doing the right thing
1 often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
You mean like... censorship?
Also no not exclusively censorship, there are many parts to that definition.
It's a dangerous game to say "everyone except x group should have human rights".
I'm curious why this isn't common knowledge by now.
Do people no longer believe in or care for the rule of law?
If you allow the people who want everyone not like them to be forcibly marginalized or killed to have the same rights as all others, they will relentlessly try to flip that around until they're the only ones with those rights. We have to stop such behavior at almost any cost. This was made blindingly obvious to the majority of the population during WWII.
It's a damn shame how so many are forgetting those lessons now. It could very well lead to something even worse than that war. This is why what you seem to think should be "common knowledge by now" isn't.
Protecting the legal rights to publish, and personally/morally tolerating the publication of abhorrent things are two entirely different concepts.
No one person or group should ever be permitted to declare themselves the arbiter of truth.
Is there no limit to this? Knowing how horrible human beings can be to each other, is there really no point at which we draw the line and say, no further? Because there very much are numerous examples of where we do so according to the law.
As uncomfortable as it may be, the conversation about who should be silenced must continue. For as long as we face the prospect of fellow humans encouraging their peers to harm other fellow humans for bad reasons, there is no sane alternative. It's probably something we'll have to deal with until/unless the dubious promises of transhumanism become real.
Who said there is to be no limit? I explicitly clarified the limit: violence. Words are fine. Violence is not.
> As uncomfortable as it may be, the conversation about who should be silenced must continue.
Not if you want to continue having those conversations. Silencing people is a violation of their human rights, once those go out the window for a certain segment, it is simply a matter of time before that segment is bent and twisted to include you.
