You can only vote on one answer.
Open hate speech, racism, antisemitism, etc is pretty common on this site. Does anyone flag it? It seems to be allowed here. Only a few people seem outraged by it.

It’s hate speech and is not allowed, you’ll find that a lot of people don’t publicly react but will report or flag the post - those posts usually get taken down fairly quickly

@JonLosAngeles66 You’re right, because when they’re not challenged, they’re emboldened and believe they have an audience. Sadly, sometimes they do. But other times, people stay silent because they don’t want any trouble.

@bijouxbroussard Exactly! That is how free speech works. They get to show who and what they are, and you get to point it out.

To report open hate speech, especially with racism, is my "speciality" and I can honestly say that the Admins cared about a lot of my reports and have cancelled a lot of those hate speeches. And at least 100 of those reported users or so have been kicked out of SW.

@Loretta78 Perhaps we can join forces then?

@tindrummer I have reported him many times

@ginnyfromtheblock Someone brought up Protocols of the Elders of Zion and there was a whole butt load of antisemitic twits came crawling out of the woodwork. It was eye opening for sure.
I reported the main post and a sub-post as hate speech, and I got an interesting response. It said something along the lines of "your report has been successful, the user is now blocked." Which I think means I only got a personal block against the hate speaker.

If a personal block is all we get from reporting hate speech, that's not the policy I want to see. In fact, it's kind of the opposite of the correct policy. It means the hate speech gets less opposition and is allowed to grow and spread. This is bass ackwards, @Nuno @Andrew! If I'm wrong about this, then I apologize for tagging you guys!!!
@ElwoodBlues I agree.

That's just how the Nazis used to talk, and look at what happened to them.

The idea that an entire ethnic group, all supporters of a political party, all religious people or all atheists, all men or all women or all people who disagree with you on a topic - are the same - is fundamentally simplistic and wrong. That error is the foundation of lots of hate and anger.
Doesn't seem to stop many people here, though.
@Abstraction though most racists say that that doesn’t include them because they dont think all Jews are parasites just This group and that group, etc.
Free speech and hate speech are not mutually exclusive. The 1st Amendment protects the right. Doesn't mean there won't be consequences.

@JonLosAngeles66 The Trumpists pretend not to understand government censorship from private companies having their own rules.

@BizSuitStacy This post is just about seeing openly racist, homophobic, antisemitic, etc talk on this site frequently and without much consequence. At least that’s my perception. ,
It’s hate speech and it shouldn’t be allowed. When I see that kind of thing I flag it. Immediately.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say if you ban a thought you drive it underground an they may go somewhere where like minded folks hang out..maybe better to have it HERE rather than 4chan..its just a thought
bookerdana · M
@bijouxbroussard By name??? Wow thats a major TOS violation....and so very unwarranted...you're one of the mostt intelligent posters here and one of the nicest
@bookerdana They expressed these things on my posts, so I knew they were targeting me.
bookerdana · M
@bijouxbroussard Never doubted you..thats so ugly and unnecessary..I feel so sorry I commented at all
tindrummer · M
I called the pos (strongbow) out vociferously and got blocked which suits me just fine
Fukfacewillie · 56-60, M
@JonLosAngeles66 I’m conflicted about staying here as SW has made its choice about him. That’s my call so no one to blame but me at this point.
@Fukfacewillie it’s conflicting participating here when they allow freely posting about “Parasitic Jews”. Even after multiple flags from multiple people. Are we complicit?
Fukfacewillie · 56-60, M
@JonLosAngeles66 To some extent, probably. I wonder if the Admins are not free speech advocates about the issue but sympathetic to his views. I don’t think they would permit the same hate speech about other groups.

It’s also depressing how others don’t seem to object.
SW-User
No not at all ...I will use my Jew powers to put a hex on them
@SW-User is that what the horns are for?
SW-User
@JonLosAngeles66 yes ...pretty much

I don’t agree with hate speech on any group of people.
I gave up turning them in. No one does anything about it and they just make new accounts.
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@canusernamebemyusername If we all team up on these asshats, the admins will have to take action.
@LordShadowfire I just wage my own attacks on them. Hopefully I can make them miserable enough to go poison themselves or something.
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@canusernamebemyusername That could work as well. I like to provoke them into saying things that are offensive enough to be reported. Eventually, they catch on and block me.

Just because it is free speech, doesn't mean it isn't in poor taste. Some people are tolerant of differing opinions, and some are not.
There are 13 people here who should be checked out of SW and life... per se
Baremine · 70-79, C
I would be very careful about what you say or do against Jews. They are God's chosen people. Right now they are out of fellowship with God, but God still said that he would bless those who blessed Israel and curse those that cursed Israel. That is still in effect.
tindrummer · M
@Baremine what do you mean by "out of fellowship with God"?
Baremine · 70-79, C
@tindrummer right now the Jewish people as a whole still reject Jesus Christ as Messiah. They are out of fellowship with God because they killed Jesus. But the time will come when they will repent and return to God and again be the apple of his eye.
@Baremine Hail Santa 🎅🏿!!

It is free speech but nothing says it should be respected. I don't have to listen to it, or respect it, I am free to respond to it, even hatefully if I choose, or I can ignore them as the bigots they are. If you muzzle them you muzzle yourself. I would rather have them out in the open. They get to show you what they are and you get to choose how to deal with it.
meanwhile.. if it was toward Chinese or Arabian, people of SW will band together saying it's all about free speech 🤣 all of you is pathetic
No. You can hate and create risks for people,-. Target your political foes for violence with lies! The internet is designed for that.

@MalteseFalconPunch Even within the First Amendment, there are limits.

Bad form for sure. I like Jews, and Jews like me :)

SW freely allows anti-Semitism.

iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
It’s hate speech and I report that anytime I see it
empanadas · 31-35, M
The line between hate speech and free speech is blurred alot of times. I don't think it's truely hate speech until they start talking about hurting and using violence against groups of people. However, just because you are allowed to say something doesn't mean there won't be any consequences. If you get punched in the face or beat up for what you said, that's on you.
empanadas · 31-35, M
@LordShadowfire no just think of the person as not very bright and ignorant. If someone says a derogatory term, I think the offended should have the right to punch the person in the face without facing charges
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@empanadas I like that. I want that to be the law.
@empanadas That’s the thing about "keyboard gangsters", though. They’re cowards who know they can’t be touched. They wouldn’t dare say anything where they might actually be punched in the nose or be otherwise held accountable.
