It's so cool how you solved racism in your head just now.

That's definitely not universal. I personally have heard people say racist, transphobic, etc. stuff without anyone shunning them because they were co-workers, relatives and other groups you can't shun without things getting awkward. Besides, aren't you in fact advocating for not having Nazi and pedo shit around, since the obvious analogy for being shunned IRL would be getting banned online for being a Nazi or pedo?

Yes racism just corrects itself. That’s why there’s famously no racism happening anywhere

and if you kept doing it, would you be asked to leave? would your "free speech" be "violated" by exclusion from decent society? I'm struggling to see the contours of your argument, where exactly you draw the line between "censorship" and "social pressure" and how you imagine that ought to translate to online spaces?

If this was true, racism would be eradicated. It must further be stated that, though many racists are very ignorant, ascribing racism fundamentally to "stupidity" is just as worthless as ascribing it to "evil". It is a moralizing account that cannot be usefully applied as systemic critique because it is all supposedly a matter of personal virtue.

People are racist as a strategy to prosper, first and foremost. It is not until you understand racism as a social strategy that you can fight it.

Nah dude I just said that people should be prevented from spreading Nazi or Pedo shit and you come in here with your contrarian bullshit.

Free speech does not, and frankly should not exist.

You said something horrible in your implicit defense of Nazi and Pedo shit being allowed to be spread. Now you are getting shunned for it. How's that working out for you?

ah yes, the free market will fix it. the "marketplace of ideas."

gtfo

if I were to say something horrifically racist in pretty much any company I can be fairly confident I would be told exactly where to shove it though

What Saturday morning cartoon do you live in bro?
