    You’re… kidding, right? You can’t possibly be this naive.

    If people don’t like something, there are those who will be assholes about it. Legality doesn’t matter at all. People don’t magically stop being assholes just because a law is passed.

    Because marriage is the problem not the solution. The state should have no role in enforcing religious ceremonies and privileging those who participate. The idea of “marriage equality” is complete bullshit since marriage overtly favors religion, hetero-normativity, etc. Fuck the state. Fuck religion. Fuck their marriage.

    Fuck homophobes too ofc, but “marriage equality” is a problem not a solution. Delusional headline.

    Easy. Nationalize social media and turn them into democratic cooperatives with the mandate to enforce strict moderation on hate speech.

        there’s kids on here , they don’t know what the fuck they’re on about and will grab the most extreme thing they can think of to hang their hat on without knowing what it means.

        “I’m an anticapitalist and what’s anticapitalist ? Things being owned by the state! What else? Co-operatives”

      nationalize social media

      Okay buddy, what about the social media that’s literally just servers running in some hobbiest’s basement?

      Transitioning companies into co-ops would be a better solution as it gets rid of the worst of capitalism while leaving as much of the existing infrastructure as humanely possible.

      Basically just send middle management and up packing.

        Yes. Cooperatives = co-ops. Let the workers (and possibly users) elect management and what to invest profits into.

      Oh yes, let’s nationalize the communications platforms and give the government direct control over how people express themselves. Surely the government is 100% trustworthy and will not use that power to suppress criticism or political opponents, or track people who are ‘unpatriotic’, or redefine ‘hate speech’ in a way that benefits the current regime. No such thing has ever happened in the history of ever. What could possibly go wrong.

      What you propose is simple (as in simplistic), but far from easy. Content moderation at scale is extremely difficult, if not impossible. See “Masnick’s Impossibility Theorem.”

      Also, deplatforming bigots is difficult and ineffective:
