    you can always tell when someone has said something terrible and got called a fascist/nazi for it because they say stuff like this

      It couldn’t be that I watched a talk like this:

      https://youtu.be/QxB3b7fxMEA?si=_HLVoBr0moJg6Mkb

      And liked the ideas, but then see that it’s being used to call the speaker racist and attempts at silencing him. Plus the unwillingness to even have a conversation.

      https://youtu.be/KKZlb-MdzKo?si=bohTJwhwMD9QehI-

      You vilify the idea of “just asking questions” to the point that no one can ask questions. That leaves me standing here, not understanding your position, but unwilling to blindly accept everything I’m told to think.

      Sure, there are people who weaponize “just asking questions”, but is the solution really just to call every person with a contrary opinion a fucking nazi?

      Edit: is anyone willing to tell me how the ideas in the first video are racist and worthy of silencing the person who speaks them?
