>>10947136>their views are so unpopular that people will instantly mass convert to national socialists upon contact and national socialists will take power in the country, so we need to ban anything resembling the normal public views of people in the 1990s to protect against imminent genocide by national socialists with the full support of the population, who all hate "Nazis">>10947126They obviously are obligated to since they all do it and none of them used to. How and why they're obligated to, and how to get around it, are the questions.
>>10947001You know, if they were just banning people advocating for particular political positions, that would still be ghey. What they're doing is walling off an ever larger amount of reality, of interpretations, and of questions. If you want to be an ignorant (quasi-) religious freak, ok, but don't foist your choice onto others. I don't know if you get this, but speaking for myself, I'm interested in the work of every type of thinker. I started as an anarcho-communist. Now I consider myself apolitical, not "cryptofash" or "hur dur enlightened centrist". For people like myself, it actually is that we want to know, and having generally neutral questions overstretchingly interpreted as Holocaust denial, or discussing biology at all being interpreted as an attempt at genocide, is just intellectually stifling. And I could totally put up with it if your people didn't have the institutional power to severely restrict my job opportunities and get me kicked out of institutions of higher learning while making me socially radioactive. I'm a very patient, non-resentful person overall. I let my temper cool down before doing things. What are you doing?
