You might not take offense to it being used for levity (or whatever) in the context of you and your friend from Germany because you guys find it amusing. That is you.
Holocaust jokes, by definition, are rooted in hate. The Holocaust was a period in time fueled by genocidal hatred. Personally, I would still consider it hate speech. That’s me.
that statment alone is implying that that what is hate speech or not is heavily dependent on personal opinion. so tell me. should i not be allow to make jokes i find amusing becuse you think its or some else think its wrong?
As I said, muting someone for their toxic behavior just cuts off communication. I don’t believe that solves the problem. Reprimanding someone (i.e. a temporary ban) for repeated, recorded toxicity could very well lead to behavioral change. That is the point I was trying to express.
Apologies if that wasn’t obvious.
ok, so in this case i have to ask how far would you be really to go to ensure this behavioral change. have another question then, would you be ok with the government eavesdropping and arresting people for “hate speech”
which can be whatever they define it as such.
would you be willing as to personally use physical force against someone for expressing what you are defining as hate speech. to create that behavioral change?
