Discord is purging alt-right, white nationalist and hateful servers

[JohnBrown1917]

Do you have any evidence to back up such a claim?

Victim complexes don't need to be backed up.

Amazing, another example of free speech being destroyed. These people aren't even Nazis. Real Nazis stopped existing even before the 1960s. It shouldn't be allowed to be going around and silencing those who offer different views just because you disagree with them. For example, It's like the banning of certain words because they're 'offensive.' They are words. Words are just that, words. You cannot harm or kill anyone just because you are insulting them.

Is this not unconstitutional? I do not want to see America becoming like other "first" world countries where you can literally go to prison for someone accusing you of offending them.

[Sinyc]

Thanks SPLC for your service. Time to send in another donation.

Ugh. At least you donate to things you feel are useful. But SPLC? Seriously?

You agree to a TOS when you sign up for Discord.. If you break THEIR rules, then you get banned. Don't like THEIR rules? Make your own app.

"Acting like asshole" is infringing the legally defended rights of the owner. There is no "what they talk in my venue offends me" right.

People in the Discord channels are keeping their discussion which is perfectly legal, and the hoster has no rights to censor it.

Uh, freedom of speech means. Government can't infringe on your right. Never said anything about businesses.

How would it be unconstitutional? It's a private company choosing to not do business with another private entity.

Should a Christian website be forced to advertise porn?

1> No, they're white nationalists and various other hate groups. Not just Nazis.
2> Pretty much every single developed nation, including the USA, agree that words can cause harm. That's why slander is against the law, just by way of example.

Not even a tiny little bit. The First Amendment means the government cannot prevent your speech, within certain limits. It says nothing about private citizens on their own property.

Particularly as nobody was silenced. Discord just told them to get out of Discord's place of business. If you get kicked out of a store because you won't stop shouting "SHITSNACKS" at children, you're free to stand on the street and shout "SHITSNACKS" all you like. You're not silenced. Your speech rights haven't been touched.

Frankly from what i have seen anything that promotes white people or white culture is considered racist while the opposite is considered diversity and good.
That's what racism is considered now in 2018.

Nah, not true. Some maybe. But, quite bit of time. Those who want to promote their own culture do so out of racism. Such as the ones who say confederate statues are white heritage.

Shrug i see liberals telling me all the time by not accepting my race is evil genocidal and murderous that somehow i am responsible for the actions of all white people who have ever lived and because of that should be ashamed of myself and spend my life trying to repay the people my ancestors hurt.
Which I consider to be incredibly racist, I have nothing to do with anyone who ever lived.

I also believe in survival of the fittest, the strongest cultures dominate and sometimes that hurts people who live in the cultures that get dominated, which is a good thing because this kind of activity has gotten rid of most of the worlds cultures that approved of cannibalism and things like that.

It's a bullshit attitude to begin with, because "white" isn't a culture in the first place. And you won't see anyone getting angry at anyone celebrating "Scottish culture" or "Italian culture" or "Danish culture".

And before you come back with "What about black culture?" That's African-American culture, in the way the label is used. It isn't the same as specific cultural groups from Africa.

Where are you finding all these people IRL? I live in a liberal stronghold and I have yet to see a single white person catch shit for just being white.

Speaking as a dude who looks pretty damned white, I have literally never had anyone give me any flak, ever, over my skin color or ethnicity. And this is in super-liberal Canada.

I have had an American tourist come up to me while I was working at a tourist spot, and say "I see you got problems with the niggers up here, too, huh?" while nodding at a couple of my black colleagues.

Edit: Wait, no, there was one time I got racial slurs flung at me, specifically. I was working at a call center and an upset customer called me a "sand nigger". Which wasn't remotely applicable, so ended up just being funny, honestly. Also, yes, she was American.

Maybe you could give some examples.

That's weird, I'm white... and that never happens to me.

[eillas]

Never happened to me either.

You don't get free speech on a private company's services. And they are NEO NAZIS and White Nationalists.

I've seen better thought from petulant 4 year-old children mid-tantrum.

I love how ballsy Discord is about their moderation on these things. This is the kind of attitude we need to see more of.

People are allowed to have shitty opinions, but it's not Discord's responsibility to facilitate these groups just like it wasn't Reddit's. There are still places for radicals to spout their bullshit, in the corners of the web where they can't try to indoctrinate weak-willed people.

Yes, the hoster has such rights. If you disagree, go write to your legislators to change the rights of business and property owners. Until then, it stays as is and is completely legal.

[Milchshake]

Ugh. At least you donate to things you feel are useful. But SPLC? Seriously?

They got the Aryan Nation out of Coeur d'Alene, so thanks again SPLC. But I dont think a cynical person can really understand the concept of appreciation. Sucks for you.

<snipped after due consideration>

Edit: Wait, I actually clicked the link to the uploader's page. He's a straight-up neo-nazi. Posting pro-Hitler stuff and waving swastikas type neo-nazi, not even just a generically racist uploader. You seriously linked neo-nazi propaganda and expected it to not get called out like this.

Second Edit: I've removed the point-by-point breakdown because the mod team removed the initial video post (with good reason). Since I'd rather not contribute even in part to presenting Neo-Nazi propaganda here, even to explain why it's racist garbage, I'm removing my own comments on the specifics. It was exactly the kind of racist garbage you'd expect from a Neo-Nazi, however.

So I'm assuming you had nothing of value to say?

I couldn't care less if you linked me a video and the uploader turns out to be a commie psycho, I'll stick to the arguments at hand.
