The person who wrote the article we're supposed to be discussing in here is at least 2 degrees away from the nazis. At what point does it become circlejerk?
The Lemmy instance you're on is linking to a substack and is collecting donations, but you seem to be fine with that. So I guess the threshold is 3 degrees?
I have nothing against the author of this article. I do have something against Substack. It really is that simple. If this article is posted somewhere else I'll read it.
If this Lemmy instance had a bunch of Nazi content and the admins said they wanted to keep it up, then I'd block this instance. I wouldn't try to rationalise it by saying "oh well it's not like all the content is Nazi content..."
Again, it really is that simple.
If you're fine with supporting a platform that welcomes Nazis with open arms, fine, you do you. It's a personal choice.
Now you're basically implying that I'm a Nazi-sympathiser. I find that a cheap tactic and highly offensive.
That's my issues with these kind of oversimplifications and guilty-by-association-fallacies. Before you know it, everyone is Hitler. I'm not supporting anyone here. I read an article about Spotify on a blog, nobody gained any measurable financial worth from that.
I don't think we're going to find a common ground here. Have nice day.
I'm not calling you a nazi sympathiser at all. I said it's fine and you should do you.
You sure are bending over backwards in order to defend Nazi publishers and Nazi collaborators. It’s hard to see you as anything other than a Nazi sympathizer yourself. You are the company you keep.
If Olivia Rafferty here (they only one I defended) is a nazi collaborator, then sure, by your logic, I must be too. And thanks to the 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon, you're one too.
Congratulations. At this point the term has lost all meaning, and we're all nazis.
