  • Let’s talk about this. First of all, they banned me for simply disagreeing with the idea of the policy. That’s egregious and quite fascistic itself; I never even said how I felt about Zionism, but that’s kind of my original point.

    Ok so taking each in turn. This is an online mini forum, not a physical bar. There is no threat of a fake anarchist space turning into a pro genocide mini forum because they already have the power to completely regulate everyone’s speech and behavior. But the main point is that this is just a bad analogy. There is no similarity between the online forum and dealing with physically violent and threatening people. It’s a ridiculous comparison.

    Turning to the paradox of tolerance, that’s not a real thing. It’s not paradoxical to refuse to tolerate intolerance. This has nothing to do with the deep hatred of freedom that is banning “zionists and Zionist apologists”. You’re already moderating people’s behavior. If someone is spamming garbage or being a nuisance, that’s different than someone saying “I think Israel has a right to exist” or something similar.

    Banning people who simply advocate for the existence of the Israeli state is authoritarian lunacy. It’s the right of the fascists who run this instance, no question, but it is objectively fascist right wing behavior. No decent person would even consider it.
