useragent13What can we do to prevent nazism?
BombOmOmVoting, healthy debate, and standard self-defense practices should cover it.
BumpingFugliesHealthy debate is the thing we’ve been missing as a society for the past few years. Everyone (hyperbole) just wants their echo chamber and shouts down anyone who disagrees with them.
I completely understand wanting to purge hateful influences from your personal bubble, but things like morally-driven defederation and banning people for “hate speech” when they’re just in the minority opinion is not healthy for the world, and pushes people like that further into their hateful holes. I know first-hand, as that used to be me. It took incredible circumstances for me to see the error of my ways - circumstances most will never experience.
Also, Hateful Holes. Band name. Calling dibs.
Yeah, forcing people with differing opinions into their own echo-chamber simply reinforces their views. Nobody is there to challenge their thought, nobody is there to provide counter-examples and arguments.

I’m glad for it! Hopefully it was nothing too painful. As often very extreme circumstances need to occur to individuals once they are in an echo-chamber to push them out of it.
