It's a tricky prospect, trying to balance hate speech and distinguishing it from someone simply expressing bad thoughts.
I guess I'm someone who came with a lot of poor, preconceived notions, and it took some time, patience, and radicalizing to arrive where I am today.
I've had some pretty awful takes over the years and said insensitive things, but it's other comrades who turned me on to better ideas.
you mean here? I think mods should be way way less ban heavy. Hell I got banned twice on the old CTH for shit the mods misinterpreted and then wanted to fight about instead of hearing my reasons or thoughts. hell once I was talking about a human nature kinda thing and the mod banned me for every and went on and on about jordan peterson. IDK who the fuck jordan peterson even was at the time, had to look the douche up to see what the mod was even talking about. Finally another mod lowered it to a week, but yeah leftists can be emotional assholes to other leftists. It's like the main thing that leftists do, attack other leftists. If we have to put up with the dengists and stalinists then people can put up with some democratic socialists without throwing a hissy fit
edit: after reading the thread it looks like the mods got it well under control
i remember back in the day i got banned for a week for a soros funding joke lmao
