#deplatform

“Hard times are coming, when we’ll be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now, can see through our fear-stricken society and its obsessive technologies to other ways of being, and even imagine real grounds for hope. We’ll need writers who can remember freedom – poets, visionaries – realists of a larger reality.

Right now, we need writers who know the difference between production of a market commodity and the practice of an art.”

I looked through your blog and saw you being a hypocritical cunt like the rest of ’em. I don’t give a fuck how funny you are on the surface, you don’t deserve the publicity.

Deplatform?

As in, stop giving credence to? Reducing the voice and reach of? Taking them off of their pedestal?

Disproving and debunking harmful rhetorics and moving on?

One thing, we all kind of forget after being terminally online so much, is that there is no longterm solution for people who are harmful bigots. Like. We’re not going to kill them?? I mean, especially in left leaning circles, we’re all very anti-prison and anti-death penalty anyway, right?

The best thing we can do is disprove, deplatform and try to educate. But just ignore and allow to them to fade into obscurity, when that doesn’t pan out.

Also, something I think “deplatform” takes account for, that “cancel” doesn’t is: redemption and growth are good things? And you can’t Deplatform someone who ISNT actively saying or doing bad things CURRENTLY.

Everyone makes mistakes, the important thing is to own up to them and learn from them. If the person doesn’t? Deplatform them. But if they do?? Let bygones be bygones?
