That’s literally what you wrote. It’s your entire premise:

No, what I actually wrote was

I'm sorry, but there is no need or benefit to be found in tolerance for the intolerant. Nobody has to give them a platform. Nobody should.

I already called you out for being dishonest in your argument, why continue? Address what I actually said instead of the shitty strawman you try and fail to create.

You don’t like the name of the magazine and you want it banned, even though it hasn’t broken any rules. You just don’t like what the name implies.

I'm not in the business in being naive about it, terribly sorry. Show me a community that labels itself as "antiwoke" that isn't a racist cesspool and I'll entertain the argument.

Believe it or not, ne neither!

But this is also not something I have said. This is a strawman argument you created, consciously or not.

What I actually said was that we shouldn't provide a platform to the intolerant. Because they will seek to undermine and destroy our tolerance. There's a bit more nuance in my argument than "ban people just because they disagree with me". You kinda missed that.

I mean, Reddit very much controls who enters. Not so explicitly as to have a survey or something, but they very much have mechanisms against bots and people who try to circumvent bans for example.

I'm sorry, but there is no need or benefit to be found in tolerance for the intolerant. Nobody has to give them a platform. Nobody should. And if you seriously believe a community called "antiwoke" has anything positive or useful to bring to the table, I have a very nice bridge looking to get rid of.

Let's not waste our breath pretending a place called "antiwoke" is anything but a racist right wing cesspool. There's literally no other purpose it could serve.

And of course you have censorship on the internet. You need to censor, literally every platform out there that has existed for a reasonable amount of time on the internet has to censor even if it's just to comply with local laws.

In other words, if you don't censor you open up your doors to hosting child porn, it's that simple. So I hope people can see that censorship is a necessary evil and not some binary choice you can make.

So the question is what you censor, not if you censor. And of course there will be things that people straight up don't want. You don't have to be accepting of everything. In fact it's actively detrimental to be.

I'm not gonna blame anyone if they want to kick out communities like "antiwoke" because it's quite clear what's gonna come out of them.

No, quite the opposite. What I said is correct, which you can verify by looking up inflation figures, but I'll save you the trouble.

US Inflation Rate is at 4.05%, compared to 4.93% last month and 8.58% last year.

Also, it would be great if, in the future, you could put some more thought into your choice of words. We can disagree with each other without such a hostile tone and if I understand correctly, especially beehaw is trying to be a bit of nicer place and you weren't very nice in your comment to me.

They are pausing rate hikes because inflation has slowed down.

Well tbh both his ego and his bank account command him to try to run for president again so I don't see him fleeing.

This is just blatant "fuck your concerns it will blow over anyway".
