This is putting your fingers in your ears and hoping they go away. That doesn't work with these fucks.

    If someone walks up to you on the street and stabs you, do you engage them in reasonable conversation or do you run away/have them arrested?

    This is the internet version of that - there are some people you talk to, and some people you walk away from.

    I think most reasonable people would fight back. But I guess that requires some amount of spine that certain people cannot muster.

    Did you ever watch Back to The Future? Because I think you could learn a lot from Part III and the "he's an arsehole" scene at the end. And from the scene with Needles and the rolls-royce.

    You're right, but the opposite extreme has been in effect as well where people on this site (and reddit, what's left of twitter, etc) take the most niche twitter take or some random ass "Influencer" with a couple thou followers and absolutely blow them up by taking screenshots of their garbage and plastering it everywhere for rage based internet points.

    I guess what I'm saying is pick your battles

    Thank you, I am so glad I'm not alone thinking this- I can't help but notice that the people who are most vocal about this blocking/canceling/censoring bullshit are the most obnoxious, self serving, narcissistic, loud mouthed, opinionated fucks of them all. It plays straight into the fascists hands to exclude others from discourse, it literally is what breeds inter-group conflict and stifles constructive dialogue and thought.
