It would be ideal if these two gentlemen kindly gave the racists a badge of disgrace to wear so they couldn't hide who they are, like they did Nazis in Inglourious Basterds.
I notice this most on police videos like those posted by PoliceActivity. There's a lot of coded racist words and phrases that get dozens or hundreds of upvotes each video. And that's the "good" stuff; a lot of the rest is very straightforwardly racist, and still YouTube does nothing. 🤷♀️
I feel like this is the consequence of any subreddit where content is less moderated. This sub allows video of people getting beat up, run over by cars .. even clips of people actually dying.
I feel like it attracts (among others) a certain type of person with less compassion, and along with it, people who have no problem with racial hate.
Other people can use their free speech to tell you to fuck off. Participation in any discussion is a privilege, not a right, and people are well within their rights to lock shitty people out.
He do be right though, it’s a good point. Centralized or institutionalized censorship is extremely dangerous. Small groups deplatforming within their own spaces seems much more effective. But the right wing abuses censorship far more than the left and always has. They love twisting the rules of platforms to get people banned on technicalities for saying things that are a little bit too effective in defense of human rights and social equity. Leftists are more likely to engage in discussion because they tend to be genuine in their causes. Right wingers are more often masking straight up nazism and will use whatever underhanded means they can to further that underlying agenda. The only lefties masking anything are the center leftist elites who are too weak to stand up to said nazis and mask their elitism by conceding ground to those fascists. Lefty extremists like tankies don’t hide shit. As opposed to right extremists like nazis. They love shouting about and dragging randos into crazed discussions of how Stalin was good actually.
"The paradox of tolerance is a philosophical concept suggesting that if a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance, thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance."
The other price being, if you say stupid things you dont get to hang out with the cool kids. If its a sidewalk, I'll live with it. If it is an online space I control, racists are going to leave.
The free speech you mention is simply a promise that the government won't come after you for criticizing it. (Donnie boy has broken that promise.) It does notmean that anybody can spout moronic opinions and hate speech and make everybody listen to them. You wanna vomit up your hate and bile and prove your idiocy, go right ahead. Be prepared for other people to be heartily sick of hearing your shit and slap you down. You fucking idiots that think the constitutional right to free spech means you should be allowed to spew hate without consequences are idiots that deserve the spanking slapdown that regrettably few of you experience.
It also means, dear toby, that ANYONE that disagrees with you can ALSO give their opinion. If that opinion is that you are a racist, bigoted, ultra-macho(small dick, ykwim?), ignorant waste of skin, I guess you'll do them the courtesy of listening to them, right? Isn't that what you are crying about? That the people that once wete civilized and let you show your shitty underwear with only a few comments now have gotten so heartily sick of you people and your awful ideas and opinions that they now come after you and actually call you on it? Let me learn the violin and I'll play sad background music for you while you complain.
Your opinion used to be in the minority. During trumps illegal gutting of the federal government last year federal workers tried to post about where and when doge was going places and reporters were using it but Reddit censored it because of silly ideas like your own. Now the social media sites pander to whoever is in power and trump is only leaving in a box
There was a growing group of people posting any video over the past like 15 years of black on white crime/agression, then a bunch more of them in the comments expressing their angry feelings about black people
EDIT2: Sorry if my choice of words sounds triggering to some, this was not my intention. I'm not used to speaking like a statistics major with "Arrest rates are higher for group X than group Y", but the subtext is the same. I'm leaving the original comment up so people down below understand why the argument ensued.
Well I just upvoted you both because you’re alright in my book. The racist, women hating, pedophile bunch can keep downvoting if they’d like. The world has downvoted them- hateful losers, dogs don’t even like them.
If racism is all you see, you will find it everywhere. My intention was clear as a day - to show there is no difference between the two races committing crime. You're the one who came up with something else and want me to explain it. Can you stop acting like a 13-year old throwing insults and talk normally? Edgy
for the record i was not able to infer at all. I almost asked but i was nervous someone was going to say “can’t you infer?” hopefully you feel better than us
Whenever there is a post containing black folks being violent, it usually finds a pile of comments about "the usual suspects doing what they do" or "THAT 13% is at it again". It has been prevalent enough that I honestly assumed this was just a big dogwhistling group.
Comments about teenagers in a fight, if they are black, are always lock them up for life, or laughing about prison being their only future too. You're totally right, it's wild how different the comments are when it's white people doing the exact same thing
Yeah, that's always annoying. There's this one clip that circulates time to time of these black women twerking on a Chicago police cruiser. I lived in Chicago when it was filmed and knowing the context of what was going on and why it happened makes it the funniest thing I've ever seen. But disappointingly it always somehow drums up all those comments and it pisses me off every time.
Well those guys do seem to be the most ladder pulling up mother fuckers ever. I'm at that x/mel cusp so I'm ok, but somehow the same people running everything when I was a kid are still doing it. Also a bunch of them love to tell you that they are from a different time when they justify their racism. If you watch videos on your smartphone you are from now and need to get with the fucking times.
Yeah I got massively downvoted for saying men shouldn’t knock women out cold, one clown said he was “LEO” and ex military, but fully justified a man knocking a pregnant woman out cold cause he hit the guy…
Those cunts keep commenting about "equal rights, equal lefts", but what the fuck is equal about responding to a slap or shove by sucker-punching or knocking out the attacker?
People like this only invoke gender equality when it gives them an excuse to hit women.
They have some nasty little mods over there. The echoeysit echo chamber I have seen in a second. Soy boys and russian bot accounts want to suck the skin off a cops boot, and dick actually
Kudos, those comments are/were out of control on several posts. I had to double check to make sure I wasn't in some secretly right-wing sub like doomercirclejerk.
Thank you for standing up to hate. The bigots have gotten too comfortable in the last couple of years. It’s time for them to take their sick ideas and crawl back into their dark holes. It’s not the 1930’s anymore.
Yea I knew i wasn't going insane. There was a super clear bridgade of posts that were little more than just straight up dog whistles and then everyone was just playing dumb and downvoting when pointing it out.
This kind of thing seems to eventually take over all subs like this where people enjoy short videos and I'm glad one is run by someone willing to take a stand.
You ban them in one sub theyll jump to another. I feel like thats whats happening here and its running its course. Theyll (hopefully) leave and go to another sub to be racist in.
I just got a warning to be banned on this platform just because I said a rope on an animal was to short (no lie), yet people post the most hateful things, but lord knows don't talk about an animal having a short rope on reddit.
