After a decade of cryptofascism and failed political activism, our dear friend jart is realizing that they don't really have much of a positive legacy. If only there was something they could have done about that.

Side sneer here for the Lobsters admin in this thread. They "hadn't recognized" jart from her domain and flatly refuse to acknowledge any of the dangerous political positions she holds. Typical. Also the sock thinks that we should debate fascists rather than banning and silencing them.

“Sufficiently polite nazis–which you cannot tell apart from normal users–will help a community, but uncivil people–even if good!– will harm it.”

This is literally how you get a Nazi bar.

Having flashbacks to the rationalwiki discord server

[-] blakestacey@awful.systems 9 points 2 months ago

I was today years old when I learned that there was a rationalwiki discord server.

[-] maol@awful.systems 8 points 2 months ago

Rationalwiki users later voted to disaffiliate from the discord server for reasons largely unrelated to what I'm having flashbacks about.

I've had his number since way back.

Non-Nazis, shockingly, are capable of recognizing "sure, they're following the rules right now; but they're still Nazis" and deciding not to associate with them. The people who are willing to associate with Nazis... well, you know.
