Niggers.win
Coontown.win
Nazi.win
Nationalsocialism.win complete with swastika icon.
Israel.win
Yahweh.win
And then desantis.win which kind of ties everything together.
All created in the past 48 hours.
Why? And why now, on the heels of the news that the American government is going to be looking for EXACTLY these kinds of communities?
Was there enough outcry to warrant all these subwins being created....simultaneously?
It really doesn't look good.
This happens to any forum that becomes relevant enough. See Voat.
You see why absolute free speech doesn't work in practice. Moral principles aren't formulated with a goal in mind, and they are for all situations and to be followed for their own sake (blind to individual situations). Ideologies have goals on the other hand, and so in a conflict between a goal-oriented ideology (can adapt as needed to reach goal) and goal-less idealism (blind to current situation), which one do you think has an advantage?
IMO .win must choose between absolute free speech and becoming sidelined like VOAT. Many here think wish to bring change to their respective societies (a goal). You can't do that if you can't continue to bring in good people here (which might be repelled by extremist content/conspiracy theories that are too ridiculous to believe like flat earth, regardless of its truth). Without critical mass, nothing will change.
Mods, I guess what I'm saying is: Choose between having a goal vs. having principles.
You sound like the meme:
"Fellow free speech people, if we don't embrace censorship we will not survive."
If free speech and "extremist content" drive people away, why is Gab doing so well? We're in this shit position today because we abandoned hard truth for easy lies. The evil people are in charge and rule by propaganda and lies. They're evil precisely because they've abandoned truth. You don't get out of such a position by more censorship and lies. You get out by searching for, understanding, defending, preaching, and aligning with truth.
We have a right to freely express ourselves about political topics without an opposition political organization adding off-topic content to make us look like violent homophobes, xenophobes, racists, misogynists, bigots, transphobes and antisemites,
Free speech does not boil down to "everywhere is a graffiti wall." Moderated discussions are free of censorship even if they spam, trolling, child porn, pranks and other disruptions. The same is also true for groups of people attempting to undermine the discussion itself, particularly for political gain or to put the participants in legal jeopardy.
Each forum is free to do as it pleases. However, the right prizes itself on prioritizing uncomfortable truths (red pilled) over easy lies (blue pilled), of being able to break from the conditioning we've been brainwashed into since childhood from all manner of corrupted institutions and outlets.
The left calls us "racist" because we quote crime stats and differences in IQ and culture between the races. They left calls us "white supremacists" because we want our own countries, and point to the hypocrisy that open borders, mass immigration, diversity, and multiculturalism is only being pushed on white countries and people. They call us "conspiracy theorists" when we bring up the globalist's plans to replace and exterminate white people in their own countries, and have directly said as much for over 100 years (the Kalergi plan). We're called "antisemites" for showing the inordinate Jewish involvement in the upper echelons of the globalist movement and all of its arms. We're called "homophobes" for pointing to the failings and degeneracy of the LGBTQ movement, which is also being pushed by the globalists. We're called "mysoginists" because we point to the biological, physical, and mental differences between the sexes.
Banning and censoring all of these topics, at the fear of being labeled a name by our enemies, is the height of stupidity. It's an abandonment of constructive debate and discussion, and the central pursuit of both: truth. Different forums are free to discuss different topics, but this site is largely devoted to such topics, and this specific forum is devoted to conspiracies, which coincidentally everything I listed above is about. If you don't know about these topics, then I sincerely question either your experience or your authenticity.
I never said unlimited free speech was correct, or that it shouldn't be organized, or that it shouldn't be constructive (honest, civil, and logical), and I never suggested all censorship is wrong. If you took that from my comment, that's on you. I merely asked pertinent questions to poke holes in the previous commenter's argument.
