Time to block my first Lemmy instance, but it won't be the last.

(Stop freaking out, it's some shitty Trump cult thing.)

"But if you silence all the Trumpers, how will we 'engage' with them?"

I dunno, man, maybe go to Twitter? They rule that place.

@oliphant "My question to you would be why are you so eager to engage with Nazis but I need to advise you that having had to ask the question, I don't think there's any way you can try to answer it without me losing respect for you..."

@AnarchoNinaWrites The biggest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing people they need to willingly allow nazis to spread their hate in the name of "free speech."

@oliphant @AnarchoNinaWrites Strongly disagree. They are free to spread their hate amongst themselves just as we are free to mock and ignore and challenge their hateful views. Attempting to stifle that freedom just drives them underground, making them harder to track and refute, and opens the door to them taking power and using those same restrictions against pro-freedom speech, deepening the spiral into fascism.

Free speech protects us from the Nazis far more than it enables them.
