Reddit has shut down several Nazi and white supremacist subreddits after a policy change banning material that “encourages, glorifies, incites, or calls for violence or physical harm against an individual or a group of people.” The news was posted earlier today in Reddit’s moderator news forum, and commenters noted that at least 10 subreddits have been banned since then, including r/NationalSocialism, r/Nazi, and r/DylannRoofInnocent. Reddit is also banning anything that glorifies or encourages abuse of animals, including bestiality-themed subreddits. https://www.theverge.com/2017/10/25/16548958/reddit-ban-nazi-subreddit-violence-policy-change reddit is not a safe space for nazis |

We can't have them espousing the wrong ideologies! Next thing we know, it'll be total anarchy and the downfall of humanity!" Are you seriously suggesting this? Freedom from having some creep tell you what ideas and beliefs you can/can't profess is going to lead to the total collapse of human civilization? Please tell me I'm missing something here. Even if that were a legitimate risk, I far prefer a world where no overlord can tell me "You're not allowed to profess this idea because I/we say so." Forcing others to espouse/not disagree with some portion of your ideology because "Of COURSE my beliefs are the RIGHT ones!" is not only the height of hubris, but also absolutely abominable. It's an unadulterated violation of individuality and free will. On the actual topic, I don't really see any problem with Reddit enforcing their own house rules on their own site, as it's, y'know, their site. If Neo-Nazis want a message board, there are plenty of alternatives. Frankly, I'm surprised Reddit even allowed a Nazi subreddit to begin with (unless it was supposed to be for historical topics and the like.) Edit: This is ASSUMING the people in question are actually guilty of promoting violence and the like, and that Reddit aren't pulling a YouTube and just censoring stuff they disagree with. Also, you're aware that the Wikipedia article you linked doesn't really back up your position, right? It's just a list of theories about what life was like prior to civilization, not a "Life used to be total, horrific, murder-filled chaos!" essay. There are multiple theories in there that posit that humans are naturally social creatures, not naturally inclined to reenact that ludicrous "The Purge" movie. |

Important Note: I no longer - in any way, shape, or form - consider myself a moral nihilist (even in my old, convoluted definition of the term).

I've always striven to walk a path befitting a follower of Christ, and now recognize some of my old comments here as misguided if not outright wrong. If you happen upon them, pray do not let them darken your view of the God I serve. He is kind, even if I, at times, have not been. |

"among monsters and humans, there are only two types. Those who undergo suffering and spread it to others. And those who undergo suffering and avoid giving it to others." -Alice “Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty.” David Hume “Evil is created when someone gives up on someone else. It appears when everyone gives up on someone as a lost cause and removes their path to salvation. Once they are cut off from everyone else, they become evil.” -Othinus |

You're going to have to provide an actual counterargument if you want me to take you seriously a serious argument. Your simple "we need a balance of freedom and restriction to have peace and order" assertion doesn't address anything I said. Also, you hone in on Hobbes' theory while totally ignoring the seven alternate theories listed there. The fact that a famous philosopher like Hobbes thought that "every man for himself" is human nature doesn't make it so. If that were the case, then Hume's theory that "humans are naturally social" and that your savage "state of nature" is a "philosophical fiction" would also be true, resulting in a contradiction. Edit: Bernrika said: DateYutaka said: this is ati free speech If you are pro-free speech doesn't make it sense to ban a movement against the freedom of speech? Not at all. Someone who is truly in favor of free speech would still advocate that people be allowed to speak against free speech. ...They'd just use other means (i.e. reasoned arguments) to ensure the anti-free speech individuals never got their way. Edit 2: WOW I phrased that striked-out part badly. My apologies, isekai: I didn't mean to imply disrespect to you as a person. I only meant that I need something more substantive to argue against if we're going to have an argument. |

So too much Equality is bad, like how too much freedom is bad. ye i get it now whites having equal rights as none whites is too much in your view since it leads to unequal population growth but need sources saying that there is equal rights for migrants and citizens there since i do not think that is the case and also the growing population of none whites there is got to do with them staying poor, like in poor countries the poor families tend to have more children anyway so its the same there with migrants @Phendrus you forgot to mention about social contract that i said earlier Social contract that typically addresses the questions of the origin of society and the legitimacy of the authority of the state over the individual.[1] Social contract arguments typically posit that individuals have consented, either explicitly or tacitly, to surrender some of their freedoms and submit to the authority of the ruler or magistrate (or to the decision of a majority), in exchange for protection of their remaining rights. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_contract that alone implies we need a government to enforce that social contract in order to attain some sort of peace and order or society unlike in the jungle where anything goes (lawless jungle) |

traed said: They should just ban the ones that incite violence or organise mass threats and plan terrorist attacks or just other shitty behaviour. It's a private business so if any of you don't like it stop supporting capitalism. DateYutaka said: this is ati free speech No, it's freedom of expression and freedom of association of the site owner. If you ban me from drawing dicks on your face with a sharpie are you suppressing my free speech? for in this context expression and sppech are the same thing |

Reddit is private company so they can do what they want. I'd never go there to discuss politics in the first place anyway. |

isekai said: the amount of freedom on the internet alone do some real crimes like doxxing, identity theft, fake news, trolling, etc so believe me you do not want more freedom Doxxing, trolling, and fake news are not crimes. spuukiebuugi said: and nothing of value was lost Not yet anyway. But given how much corporations are now controlling the direction of public discourse, any sort of fringe viewpoints are bound to be shut down eventually. |

Nico- said: I don't know about that. MAL allows far more explicit Nazism, white nationalism, Maoism, and (insert other extreme political ideology) than any other forum I've posted on. If this is a Plebbit forum, then what does a non-Plebbit forum look like? Stormfront?I'd say MAL's case is beyond repair regarding the Plebbit virus. I think the far-out content that MAL allows in CE and CD drives away the majority of "normal" people, who don't have radical political opinions and can't be bothered to wade through the shit. The flight of the normal people contributes to a politically charged and "toxic" environment. |

What's the problem here exactly? it's their website, they decide what they're okay with and what they're not. If tomorrow they decide that anyone who writes "carrots" will be banned, and that anyone complaining about that new rule will have his account deleted, they can do it, it's privately owned so there is no such thing as "free speech" to be enforced there. If someone is unhappy about a restriction, all he has to do is move on another website that fits his/her needs/opinions more, and that's it. Nothing to see here, move on. |

r/BookBurningForHarambe Actually come to think of it, there was something like this once upon a time. A politically active group that shut down dissent and called all forms of criticism degenerate and violent. Hmm...what were their names again? https://www.ushmm.org/collections/bibliography/1933-book-burnings |

It didn't take long for a website's moderation policy to be compared to one of the most gruesome examples of government censorship from the Nazi regime. Talk about exaggeration. |
