thinks random offtopic mentions of all twitter users being bootlickers are destructive - yes
All I can read is “thinks it’s pointless to remind people that Twitter is a Nazi bar”
You can think it’s destructive all you want, but Twitter IS destructive, and the bootlickers who still frequent it are contributing to the destruction of our culture by fucking Nazis.
thinks it’s also useless virtue signaling and just a giant circlejerk - yes
Yet you’re virtue signalling in the opposite direction, effectively tacitly defending Twitter and it’s Nazi owner.
Pardon me if I shit on anyone with your opinion, because the last thing we need is a pro-twitter circle jerk. There are already enough Nazis in the Internet, we don’t need to accidentally pill more people because we want to cry about shit in the Internet.
I never liked this stupid idea.
If anti-Nazis start to hang out at a bar, does it become an anti-Nazi bar?
What about both Nazis & anti-Nazis: who wins?
It seems you privilege the presence of Nazis in deciding the kind of bar it is with no chance of anyone else showing up to decide the kind of bar they make it with their mere presence.
You privilege Nazis.
I don’t see anyone applying this logic to the wider web where we have Nazi sites: no one calls the web a Nazi bar.
Or the world for that matter.
Is your language a Nazi bar since some Nazis speak it?
Yet some people can regularly use x.com without ever running into Nazis just like the web or the world.
Nazi bar is classic bad company fallacy.
The most pernicious effect of this fallacy is it just surrenders entire platforms to Nazis & pretends retreating to ideological bubbles is morally virtuous.
By immaturely prioritizing comforting & unchallenging environments of social validation & self-righteousness maintained by silencing opposition over environments of unfettered public discourse that challenge us to develop intellectual depth & skill to actually debate serious disagreements, we erode critical thought, limit self-reflection & growth, and allow radicalization to propagate unchecked by exposure to deradicalizing influences & more intelligent perspectives.
We promote backslides into repressive extremism by being cowardly ninnies unwilling to counter words with reason & public opinion.
Have some conviction to stand up for your morality where it matters.
It’s not a nazi bar because there is the occasional nazi in it. It’s a nazi bar because it’s led by a nazi, applies nazi standards and moderation, and therefore attracts nazis.
