Holy shitballs! And that's the first and last time I went to that sub. LPT: Don't ever go there

Banning / censoring is a thug's weapon - blunt, reckless, applied with prejudice. A thoughtful ruler's weapon will be to listen carefully, to everything and then reshape discussions towards the direction they should be taking. And to identify and reform troublemakers. Often, troublemakers are just after attention or importance. A clever ruler will just make the troublemaker important in society in a fluffy way and thus disable them. Imagine if Hitler was admitted to art school and given a free art gallery. Imagine if our own Hitler was accepted by Bollywood as a rare talent, we would get another Paresh Rawal and would be spared the troubles of this decade. Not listening carefully enough is the real problem. Banning is just a small step towards total destruction. But it seems to work because everything is already broken.
