Good. We should not tolerate the intolerant.

Intolerant of the intolerant?

Exactly. I'm glad you finally understand.

Are you suggesting 'tolerant' people should tolerate something like, racism? You are a logical moron if you try to make that argument. You know exactly what you are doing, and it's stupid.

How about we attempt to understand why people are thinking this way. Why are they not interested in thinking your way? What can be done to help both side talk and solve problems together?

we absolutely need to do all of that. but when i talk my parlerish side of the family it usually starts with them saying “if we hadn’t ended segregation we wouldn’t have these problems” and i don’t know what path to take from there

> "They made an attempt to not only kill the app, but to actually destroy the entire company. And it’s not just these three companies. Every vendor from text message services to email providers to our lawyers all ditched us too on the same day." If everybody else is an asshole, maybe you're the asshole.

Said the church to the scientist. Said the mob to the witch.

Be careful about where this goes. This one doesn't affect you and I, but the next one might. It certainly will when it gets to HN or Signal. But then it'll be too late.

First they came for...

And yet they are still online (edit: looks like they'll be online with AWS until 1159 PCT, my mistake) I am pretty sure that coordinated withdrawal of services like this would amount to Tortious Interference wouldn't it? Given Parler/Foxx's pentant for exaggeration and playing the victim I'm a little incredulous to be honest. I don't like censorship or support it. Parler should stay, for all its issues. But that does…

they will be shut off at 11:59 pacific time.

I’d hate to be in his position right now. Business wise, i hope they have backups and hire people for moderation.

When your business is fascism you deserve this. I don’t see this being all that different from having an open marketplace for assassinations or contract killings.

How far should this go? Should banks refuse to service employees? Grocery stores? Gas stations? They are private businesses, they have no reason to tolerate people who are thinking the wrong way.

Yes fascists should be refused by everyone. It’s in everyone’s interests to have more customers so this works itself out through game theory.

Let's take away everything from fascists. Then they have nothing left to lose.

The cartels are all acting in unison.

I thought the free markets could do whatever they want? Funny how this works, isn't it.

I didn't say free markets could do whatever they wanted.

Also, wanted to point out that snarky comments are against the guidelines here.
