Like others have pointed out, checked mark accounts are usually more carefully protected by the Twitter admins, but now tolling those accounts will be largely done with impunity, plus the lack of verified status means that troll accounts can be made to discredit these asshats because officially verified accounts o longer exist for them.
I feel like you did in as many words but whatever, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and I suppose we're getting besides the point:
In this hypothetical situation, those people would be banned. However, this assumes there would be Nazis to harass, which - in the same hypothetical situation - wouldn't be possible. The problem as much as anything is that Twitter isn't applying its existing ToS as a blanket - it's giving organisers of hate special dispensation.
Islam doesn't even make up a whole 1% in Poland I don't think. It's pretty much just racism
A slippery slope argument would imply some theoretical issue in the future, I'm more interested on clarity on what the issue is right now. Nazis aren't the only group spreading hate on Twitter. But I can't fault your proposal's consistency - I'm just not sure whether I agree with it or not.
The harassers of nazis on the platform you agree shouldn't have nazis on it at all? Real circular logic we have going on here.
I wasn't passing judgment on nazi harassers, I was trying to determine if Mr. Sam's proposed rules were well thought-out. And he convinced me they are. I don't really know where I stand on this, that's why I'm having this conversation. The main thing I'm trying to determine is whether we want to rid Twitter of specifically nazis, or hate speech generally. And if the latter, how we should do that.
Hahahaha, I edited it out but you still got the notification!! Sorry hahaha
then good? neither nazis nor their shitty, spiteful "ideology" should be tolerated online or in real life
Didn't know Islam was a race.
And in Poland Catholics make up 91% of the population, and Islam is still less than 1% so use whatever excuse you gotta to to justify it all, at the end of the day it's all bullshit. Just a bunch of folks scared of a hilariously small brown group of people practicing their faith in peace under the idea of "they're all violent"...as they perpetuate violence against these folks.
uhh,, he was in the EDL? Do you not know what the word 'timeline' means? Or are you purposely being ignorant about the EDL and their intentions?
Color me unconvinced. Poland is overwhelming Catholic and religiously conservative. Their ideology is not exactly that far removed from conservative Islam, which makes up a ridiculously tiny minority in the country. Being concerned about Islam in Poland, but not the staunch, conservative Catholicism that plague the country doesn't make an ounce of sense... unless, of course, you are a racist who only worries about regressive ideologies coming mostly from non-whites.
Funny you don't know what dog whistles are since you just used one: "Islamic Supremacy".
It's the practice of saying terms that, to the uninformed, sound innocent but are quietly understood by others to have a second (usually discriminatory) context:
To be fair, that one actually is Jewish unlike most of these idiots. That's generally one reason there's a distinction between alt-right and alt-light and she's the latter. Still an idiot and a terrible person of course.
So stating facts is dog whistling?
I must have missed all the verses in the New Testament calling for the subjugation and killing of non christians.
You are the one calling them "brown people". As a Hispanic, do I count as "brown people"?
But you did read the verses in the Koran that call for subjegation and killing of non-islam, then? Which verses are that again?
The EU wants to take in refugees in from disaster zones and war-torn countries, yes. What's your point? Are refugees inherently bad?
Islam is no more violent then Christianity. People who radicalize will do radical things in the name of their faith. Islam happens to be the biggest religion on Earth, and there are many many more peaceful Muslims then there are radicalized ones.
For example:
The EU has been trying to find accomodation and help for refugees coming from war zones. Wouldn't you like to be helped if you were running away from a war?
Given the rest of the shit he has been spouting it doesn't really surprise me.
Pls inform yourself before particitpating in discussions in the internet. Its about refugees, not forcing muslim migrants to countrys.
I don't believe you're as ignorant as you try to portray yourself. You know full well what dog whistles are you know what using that phrase means/what it's used as a cover for.
It’s also an example of what I call “copycat racism”. Where White Europeans from lesser economically developed countries want to copy the trends of the more economically developed White majority countries. And that’s where the Muslim hate comes in to make them feel like “We are White and superior too, just like America and UK”.
I know you're banned and all but those are specifically about idolators and polytheists. Both of which are groups that the bible isn't so tolerant of either. The "people of the book" is how the Quran refers to Jews and Christians and the tone is mostly tolerant.
So did you fail to read the post I was responding to, or are you just looking for things to argue with and to hell with context? Stop this nonsense.
I really don't see how even routing out hate groups would be any issue, let alone not giving them any "verified" status. For the longest time, Twitter as done absolutely nothing on these issues. Now that they are facing the declined use of their platform, relative to other social media sites, they are finally incentivized to do something.
OK, I generally agree with all that. Who are you arguing with? What does any of that have to do with either of my posts that you quoted?
That I don't see why Twitter should care if nazis are "harrassed" for being nazis, at all.
I know what you were saying. So let me clarify what I was saying.
The rapid switch from faux-tough guy to the wimpy "I NEED MIIIILK" is killing me.
