Following this banned content and this discussion: provide that “fascism-communism equivalence” and “horse-shoe theory” serve only to legitimize fascists, would you (@all) find clearer adding to the policy that this kind of content is not welcome on this instance?
Anyone has own on-line and off-line experiences. Analogies btw. on-line and off-line are hard to draw too.
Selective political illiteracy is an observation, not a slur. Yes, I agree with you about avoiding the use since it is counter-productive.
Yet, writing comes with responsibility. I do not blame people being ignorant, I blame people when they expose the community to harmful content and community hijacking. When ones insist and they are in good faith, I am quite confident that laziness is the main reason.
If we add “no horse-shoe theory” on the CoC does not mean instant ban, as it holds for other contents.
I agree with everything except that “laziness is the main reason”. There’s just a lot of things to learn and do in life and it’s difficult to prioritize.
Anyway, I’m glad that we constructively made our points clear. :)
After insisting on the same concept? What could be instead? Fear of contradiction? I disagree. :)
