This is so tiring. I'm a Swedish man. Last time I visited the US was several years ago. I'm not particularly sympathetic towards Donald Trump or Parler. I'm definitely not here to defend nazism. Not sure if it's intended, but if you intend to get sympathy and support for your cause (whatever that is) by calling me a nazi or implying my interest in internet infrastructure has anything to do with supporting nazism, the…

Well they may not exist in some very literal sense because they lost the war and their gov no longer exists, but it’s very easy to find sympathizers who have plenty of their memorabilia, fly their flags, use their salute, and take the ideas into modern times with things like a “Camp Auschwitz - Staff” sweater…

What's your point?

@judge2020 I'm aware Parler is a subpar platform (compared to Gab for example). But this de-platforming BS needs to stop. It's pathetic.

So someone with ARPANET in their handle is ok with abuse of NICs and IP space?

Not quite. > DDoS-Guard CEO Evgeniy Marchenko maintains the company has done nothing wrong, and that DDoS-Guard does indeed have a presence in Belize. So they acted without any investigation because "uh oh, here comes the mob".

Where's that quote from? The article points out they make no mention of any Belize presence, and LACNIC spent several months investigating the tip, which happened in November. That hardly seems reactionary.

sorry to be an ant-fucker, but reactionary basically means conservative

If fascism is defined as the merger of corporation and state, does a dominant political party allying with major corporations to suppress a political opponent not ring alarm bells for fascism?

> If fascism is defined as the merger of corporation and state It's not. And it would be silly if it were, since corporations are exercises of state power ab initio ; there is nothing separate to merge.

Benito Mussolini, the inventor of fascism, described his ideology as the merger of corporate and state power. He occasionally referred to it as "corporatism."

Dangerous speech isn't free.

I'm well aware of what speech is and is not legal under US law. Parler's TOS are inline with US law.

Being lawful doesn't magically make it not-dangerous. And being lawful doesn't mean a private entity can't revoke service.

These groups are already generating social conflict. De-platforming ISIS from Twitter and YouTube worked to stop their massive growth of new members through propaganda. There is no reason to believe it won’t also work on American right-wing terrorist and Christian terrorists. “Capitol Hill Attack Video Shows Rioters Pray With Lifted Hands After Violating Senate Chamber” https://faithfullymagazine.com/capitol-hill-att…

The American right-wing(republicans) is equivalent to a terrorist organization that beheads people amongst other war c…

You did read it wrong. “American right-wing” was an adjective on the noun “terrorist.” You interpreted “American right-wing” as a noun. I updated the language.

Benito Mussolini, the inventor of fascism, described his ideology as the merger of corporate and state power. He occasionally referred to it as "corporatism."

Corporatism as a political ideal, and the sense of “corporate power” relevant to it, is a concept much older than fascism (and broader; most historical supporters of corporatism weren't anything like fascists) and not related to corporations except that the words descend from the latin word for body.

Before I take you up on your offer, what qualifies as a nazi to you? Someone who is an official member of the National Socialist German Workers' Party? Someone who simply hates jews/minorities, thinks hitler did nothing wrong, and has a swastika hanging in his bedroom?

See the second definition. Also note the comment you first replied to (made by bjeds) was using "nazi" with lower case.

I'm waiting for you to show me all these nazis. I can show you plenty of communists, within the new US administration.
