Why is Equality an ideology? Isn't it basic human decency?
Lots of people disagree on the exact type of equality humanity should be aiming for.
Specifically the NAZIS.

Why are your morals the ones that deserve free speech?
Because wanting to own other humans, killing people because of their race, gender or sexual orientation are not morals.
moral: adjective - Concerned with the principles of right and wrong behavior and the goodness or badness of human character.
noun - a person's standards of behavior or beliefs concerning what is and is not acceptable for them to do.
Actually, those are morals.
There are cultures and religions around the world that live life differently from you. They believe there should be strong gender norms, have strict codes of conduct for how to live their lives, and expect and enforce those standards on everyone in the community. Do you think they should be silenced?

#254And yet this is still online: https://www.reddit.com/r/sjwhate/comments/73h7mx/i_fuck_sjws...
While shitty and mean, they aren't advocating for violence in that post.
Do you think mean posts should be outlawed?

No, they're still there, and no, everyone who disagrees with you isn't a Nazi. > we will take action against any content that encourages, glorifies, incites, or calls for violence or physical harm against an individual or a group of people This also means that people who encourage you to "punch a Nazi" or that there's nothing wrong with punching a Nazi/racist should also be banned.
r/the_donald is not just about "disagreeing" it's literally the worst kind of ecochamber of conspiracy theories, veiled (and sometimes not-so-veiled) racism and constant calls to action against "the left". They are such an ecochamber that 90% of the time they speak on memes that nobody else understands (or cares to understand.)
r/neoliberal is a globalist echo chamber, r/blackfellas is a black racist echo chamber, r/latestagecapitalism is an anticapitalist echo chamber, and r/sandersforpresident is a Bernie Sanders echo chamber.
Reddit's voting system is designed to form echo chambers around a single topic. Why would Donald Trump's subreddit _not_ be an echo chamber?

Antifa is prejudiced against fascists, and for good reason.
Yeah, that's the travel brochure. From observing them where I live in San Francisco they seem to be violent against anybody right of center and free speech advocates (who may not be right of center). They are also prejudiced against whites in the same way anti-semites are prejudiced against Jews, just swap Jews for white people in their narrative.

So a bloody bolsheviks style revolution is ok as long as they do it inclusively?
Please point me to posts on those subreddits calling for a bloody revolution and the killing of the bourgeoisie? There's been this new meme circulating on right-wing circles that if you are not a card-carrying alt-righter then you must be - by necessity - Che Guevara's second coming. It's pretty disingenuous, and quite silly to be honest.
No, there's a meme among normal people that if you violently riot and attack people and property when you don't get your way politically, you're a nuisance to democratic society and have more in common with the Red Guard than soldiers who stormed the beaches in WWII.

No, they want to cleanse the bourgeoisie, they're very multi-ethnic in their genocides. And not all of the far left is colorblind, we generally consider people who want to ethnically cleanse white people as far left.
Please point to where you think they're advocating bloody revolution, genocide or ethnic cleansing of white people. I'll be waiting patiently.
Since we've already shattered Godwin's law, I might as well reply. Hitler didn't call for the genocide of Jews originally, he just talked and wrote about how much he thought Jewish Supremacy was a problem. Swap Jews for white people and you have Antifa.

I haven't seen any sympathy for Antifa on HN.
"But but but Antifa are the real facists/racists" Give me a break.
Antifa and Neo-nazis are both a scourge on our body politic. But since pretty much everyone I know agrees about the neo-nazis and their ilk, I feel a much greater urgency to call out Antifa and its ilk.

re: measures of humanity; I meant humanity as in the species, not as a quality. >The root question is do the ends justify the means? I do not believe the ends will ever justify the means, but that is just my opinion on the matter. >Do you want Equality of outcome so much that you are willing to adopt Fascism to achieve those aims? I'm personally satisfied with equality of chance such that everyone has an equal chance…
I would say equality vote is very important it was missing in this country not long ago. I would say that demonstrates an unyielding vein in this country that seems to be against equality. However, equality was achieved without violence. Why is violence required for your argument?
>I would say equality vote is very important it was missing in this country not long ago.
If you mean equality of vote; it's just another version of equality of chance. Everyone gets a chance to vote and be voted for, the outcome may not be equality.
The other option is equality of outcome, which is antithetical to equality of vote.
>Why is violence required for your argument?
It's not. I recognize that sometimes violence is an inevitable outcome but everyone should be looking for non-violent means that make the least amount of people unhappy.
I don't think I ever made violence necessary for my argument tbh...
