*please note i deeply value and respect the vegan movement. i am just critical of how humorously it precipitates in online spaces, particularly this one. :)
You're viewing a single thread.
In my own anecdotal experience. An overwhelming majority of Lemmy/Reddit vegans are far left extremist radicals. Also this is me going out of my way to actively speak to these people as well.
And what's wrong with that? Signed a far left vegan activist.
Nothing is wrong with having an opinion. I believe you should be allowed to express your opinions under freedom of speech and expression. But I heavily disagree with far left wing ideologys. What far leftists advocate for. Censoring information and censoring their political opponents. Advocating to get them arrested,fired, and homeless and putting in "hate speech" laws. I think is morally wrong. It's tactics that countries like the USSR used.
I think you have false ideas of what we do and don't believe.
I can see in your comments that you actively went out of your way to get someone's Facebook banned. Creating an fake online persona. Even though I heavily disagree with this person. I believe they shouldn't have been banned. Also on a side note. that's an adorable pug looks like an old feller with the grey hair. I've got a pug and she's a pain.
I get Nazis banned on Facebook who think that black people should be hung. Nazis don't deserve shit.
My pug is ancient but still a PITA.

I believe that everybody is entitled to the same universal rights. That means it Doesn't matter if your white ,green,black or blue, a genderfluid apachi helicopter a staunch conservative or a liberal. These rights should all apply to you. These rights includes freedom of speech, expression, human rights. And castle doctrine. (I could go on but we'll be here all day) that includes people that I might not like. Like Bolsheviks and Nazis. I believe that if these people were to encroach on the rights of others. Such as harming people. That these rights seldom apply and your allowed to defend yourself.

If you don't like Nazis. Then why don't you speak to them. actively debate their ideas and opinions. It's only through speaking to them that you'll change their minds.
These are some of the people whose accounts I got banned.

That's what happens when they have a platform for their ideas. And this is on the milder side. Heather Hayer would agree with deplatforming Nazis, but sadly she was killed by one by being rammed into with a car. And you know what the other Nazis say about her? That she was fat and died of a heart attack.
Getting someone banned from a private platform is in no way infringing upon their rights. People aren't entitled to someone else's megaphone, and a private company or person should absolutely not be required to platform beliefs that they disagree with. That would be an actual infringement on their freedom of speech.
Private companies should be able to do what they want. But this individual is actively going out of their way to get these people banned. If there is one thing that'll make someone more almost certainly more set in there beliefs It's this. I would like for there to be way less political extremists in the world. Doing something like this is just going to make people way more politically extreme.
But this individual is actively going out of their way to get these people banned
Nah, miss me with this take. This individual is actively going out of their way to report bannable behavior. Maybe follow the rules and dont be a sack of shit if you don't want to be banned?
