    Yeah that’s not a thought experiment that survives very long if you start seriously thinking about it.

    With the Right, it’s always projection.

    There’s a good chance that Musk’s ambitions are to become as powerful as he imagines the Elders of Zion to be.

      No, they axed subs where new accounts made specific targeted death threats at Musk’s team. You cannot make targeted death threats against specific people.

        Which is where this funky thing called moderation comes in, typically starting with a locked thread, deletion of comments, and banning the new users.

        It generally does not come with a community ban or a banwave following that of other communities.

        “Glitch” my ass.

        Goddamnit that’s an entirely reasonable stance…but I want to blindly call reddit poop head because of everything else.

        Edit: down vote all you idiots want but making death threats against specific people is dumb for several reasons especially if those folks deserve them. You don’t want fucking records of saying " this person should get got" online.

      From what I can tell, Neo-Nazi Kevin Alfred Strom, over 200 years after Voltaire’s time

        Yep, it was just 22 years ago. He was not only a white nationalist, neo Nazi, and founder of the National Vanguard, but in his spare time he loved to look at CSAM.

        He pled guilty to having it in 2008, then told the judge how he possessed it unwillingly. Considering how many of those kinds of folks have that material, I don’t believe him.
