[socjus] Why it’s time for YouTube to ban the alt-right by Paul Mason

Though vloggers like Benjamin repeatedly pose as critical friends to the outright fascist right, their function is provide an echo chamber for, and a gateway to, the most extreme ideas.

Oh my! You're absolutely right. You know that? We should ban liberals off Youtube. After all, liberals who dare to speak to anyone somewhat left are clearly a getaway to the most extreme ideas - like communism.

As the unique product of their own personal journey through hurt, rejection and censorship.

Maybe because that's the case? Why are you denying their lived experiences?

It has already kicked the conspiracy theorist Alex Jones off the platform; it would be very easy to remove not just the open fascists but any of the useful idiot brigade who knowingly platform them and drive customers to their books and lectures.

Lmao.
