@TheodoreThe4th @DollieHitsujida It looks like these changes are occurring predominantly across age-related boundaries. Once again, this does not invalidate what I’m saying remotely. This is a silly rabbit hole to go down, refer to my other tweets if you want to continue this convo.
@Diddly_Doodler If all the clips are out of context then it’s even more important for you to post the clips WITH context
Or maybe you just… can’t do that in a way that’d make her look good and this is just a copout…
naaaah couldn’t be
@NyrIena The vanilla vulchers are gonna post racist shit on this tweet and be like “waaaait Kirsche isn’t racist thooo it’s just that all of her fans are”
@TheodoreThe4th @DollieHitsujida —as I previously stated, my example comes from DECADES of analysis over the nature of discourse. It’s not IMPOSSIBLE to breach ideological grounds but it is BORDERLINE impossible, even when sharing compelling arguments. People will almost always opt for their ontological security
@TheodoreThe4th @DollieHitsujida You deciding to switch ideological beliefs doesn’t invalidate my example. The amount of people that make that change is minuscule and most people will choose to retain their world view rather than accept when it has been challenged, AND beyond that—
@TheodoreThe4th @DollieHitsujida tldr it’d be like arguing with a Christian about the validity of God. No ground will be breached on either side because the fundamental concepts of their world view are different. The reality they both inhabit is different. White supremacy/racism are similarly unbreachable ground
@TheodoreThe4th @DollieHitsujida Your very concept that “good ideas can be displayed to people with bad ideas which will quell the bad ideas” is fundamentally flawed and isn’t how dialogue has really worked in any era of the U.S.
Once again, forcefully removing/silencing harmful rhetoric IS a valid strategy.
@TheodoreThe4th @DollieHitsujida First statement is horseshit but the second part is interesting. Yeah, you can’t kill the ideas BUT driving them underground still does good. It becomes more difficult for harmful ideas to spread when they aren’t normalized. You just described the benefit to deplatforming someone
@DollieHitsujida Saying “you’re just jealous” when people are trying to combat potentially dangerous ideologies is — and I’ll put this in the nicest way possible — the stupidest fucking thing I’ve ever heard and a massive deflect from the reason people attempt to get others deplatformed.
@DollieHitsujida Normalizing/ignoring harmful ideals allows those harmful ideals to spread. Someone can be the most charismatic and entertaining person ever but if they have a consistent history with spreading hateful speech, their platform poses a threat to younger, more impressionable people.
@KirscheVerstahl Being held accountable for your widely publicized actions by having brands not want to fuck with you is NOT cancel culture. You use that term like a buzzword and pray people are stupid enough to sympathize with you.
Fuck off
@DeadBurnerr@Crimson_King_9@DelusionPosting Exactly. Notice how Santa Decides has that blue check mark and “based Santa Decides” or whatever doesn’t? The monetization of Twitter incentivizes right wing ideologies because they breed conversation and negativity, which results in more clicks and more cash. This app sucks.
