Sure. When they’re done there won’t be a need for any more ethnic cleansing.

Sure, if you have total power over the media ecosystem. But we don’t.

So the question has to be asked–are you banning Zionism from the public square or simply exiling anti Zionism into a small echo-chamber where no one will hear it anymore and Zionism will go unchallenged? This is my problem with this approach.

Another user mentioned that feddit.org may have been consistently censoring anti-Zionist voices. If that’s true it would make this a lot more reasonable in my view. However the post doesn’t seem to explicitly make this claim, so I am curious if it’s true. It left me with the impression that they were defederating mainly due to the presence of some Zionist users on the instance, which seems a very excessive response when the ability to ban individual users exists.

Maybe… this is where I guess the instance rules get in the way because I’d like to know what exactly that looks like. Because it’s well known that communists and others tried to violently resist the Nazis in the lead up to the third reich. So you’d have to articulate how your strategy was different from what was tried and failed.

My reading of history is that sporadic violence is a very ineffective anti-fascist tactic.

OK, if that’s true then I what I’m saying here doesn’t apply.

Yeah I would agree with that. However there are a number of ml users who are very deserving of that treatment based on their individual behavior. But insofar as that’s used against other random users on the same instance it’s probably not appropriate.

What worked was the might of a multiple empires waging total war against one another. I don’t think any Lemmings have that power at their disposal.

Of course this only worked after tens of millions of deaths, so it wasn’t exactly the ideal solution even then.

Depends completely on the impacts of that decision. Zionism is the predominant viewpoint in my country, so if I were to refuse to ever be around them, I would be a complete shut in, which would be counter-productive to my larger political goals. Which include defeating Zionism.

But I don’t believe it’s true that this instance is full of zionists/nazis. The accusation seems to be that there are some users on it who are zionists.

Well there are many examples but yes.

Guilt by association is still stupid even if you come up with a different analogy for it.

Well I don’t think that’s very effective either but if we can’t have a discussion then we’ll just have to disagree.

Oh I get it now. Dumdum moment lol

A few miles but less than a block? Was there a fence in the way or what?

So is this a “let them fight” situation or what?

So I own one of these vehicles and I was thinking there’s no way this can be because I can see my fuel consumption and it is very low. But according to the article it varies greatly by model, and mine was mentioned as being on the low end.

For me at least, I can hear when the engine turns on and it does not do so until the battery range is used up, so there should be no fuel usage during short trips. It seems quite strange that some vehicles would work otherwise.

Echo chambers make you stupid.

People love to criticize the marketplace of ideas and sure it’s imperfect… but what’s he alternative? Covering your ears and going lalalalala is even less effective than persuasion.

The five over norm needs to die if road users wish to live. Everyone drives way too fast on American roads and that’s a big reason we’re a world leader in traffic fatalities.

But that’s not really related to what I was talking about.

Is the human mind not just a very very fancy database query?

Oh good. Imprisoning children, this was surely the root of all of Argentina’s problems.

Puritan mind virus is my guess.
