    Calling for the genocide of whites, men, straight people, certain political ideologies, praising the appropriation of Western European culture to “subvert” it and rewrite it, banning books, etc…

    Edit: oh shit, thought Reddit was the delusional echo chamber, maybe it’s Lemmy, too.

      Who is calling for such things?

      And as for banning books, are you sure it’s the left that’s doing that? Because I can share some links with you…

        Almost every extreme view will likely have someone pushing those ideals through xitter at some point. Whether or not those posts gain any sort of traction or represent a greater movement could still be up for debate.

        Quick note: this isn’t meant to support or oppose any side or position. Just putting information out there addressing the question that was posed.

          I can’t read past the paywall, but it looks like that hashtag was meant to be sarcastic. Denying the Holocaust, praising Hitler, saying racist things… those are not done with sarcasm.

            Would you accept other hate speech provided it’s qualified as “sarcastic”? How should xitter determine sarcastic messages vs serious ones?

            And saying the entirety of that hashtag was used sarcastically is incredibly presumptuous. How would someone prove to you that it was used at least once seriously?

              I would say that entirely depends on how it’s worded. This was a parody of another hashtag that was being used sarcastically. I would not call that hate speech in any way. I’m sorry, but “killallmen” is clearly not meant the way the hate speech being allowed on Twitter is meant now. There’s a world of difference. It’s not even comparable.

                So your original question was “What is left wing hate speech?”

                Regardless of whether it’s comparable or as prevalent as right wing hate speech should be moot. You were provided examples and I showed an instance of it actually occurring.

                Again. Not defending or opposing one side or the other nor commenting or implying some frequency or severity of posts.

      Wow, a whole list of “things that never happened.”

      Please, get help to escape the conspiracy feedback loop you’re obviously in.

        Nowhere. I was nowhere near it, and it made false allegations that I sexually assaulted it. Now my life is ruined over lies and cancel culture. —that guy, probably
