Because once you start laying down the rules for what people are and are not allowed to say about some particular world situation, it’s hard to know when to stop.
So let’s remove all rules. How about allowing all kind of racism, celebrating people death or torture because once you start laying down the rules for what people are and are not allowed to say about some particular world situation, it’s hard to know when to stop. What a dumb logic
Because there’s degrees to this shit? Speech isn’t some black and white clean line. We have to make a judgement call, and being cold hearted can be tolerated whereas racism can’t.
I won’t try to speak for any “objective” standard here, I’m just saying the way I see it. Having a viewpoint about the Gaza flotilla protestors that is, to me, just objectively wrong, is okay. Telling another Lemmy commenter that they, the Lemmy commenter, should kill themselves is not. I can see how there could be debate about the first thing, but the second one is forbidden in practically every place on Lemmy that I know of.

I just used the same logic of you to prove that your argument is so dumb

You can think the idea of those Flotilla is wrong but you can justify their members to be mistreated by Israel. Why are you ok with people blaming the victim? Why are you allowing things that civilized people and international laws don’t accept?

Fair enough, I guess. My point was that personally I don’t feel comfortable saying that people can only say viewpoints about world events that I’m comfortable with or that I think are right.
It’s fine to reply to the wrong person and say “WTF, that is victim blaming, you are wrong.” To me, the evils that arise when a moderator steps in and says “That is victim blaming, not permitted,” and deletes the comment, far outweigh the harm of just having to pick through some wrong comments every now and then while you are reading your comments sections.

You need to direct these questions at the person that made the comment, not at me.
If you think that any comment I “oppose” is going to be one I remove, you’re in the wrong community. There are plenty that do operate that way, I will kindly recommend that you go try them instead, if that’s the Lemmy experience you are looking for. There are a lot. Trying to browbeat me into deleting the bad opinions from this community is not going to work, though, although I’m happy to spend at least a little time explaining to you why I operate that way (up to a point I guess).
Yes, parent comment is shitty, but no you can’t tell people on Lemmy to kill themselves.
Why are you allowing victim blaming?

Racism is harmful, justifying human right abuses because the victim expected the abuse to happen is also harmful and show how uncivilized you guys are
That’s your opinion, and you’re welcome to it. I know where i stand on support for Palestine, and am not bothered by your opinion there.
Opposing Human right abuses are not a matter of opinions.
Well than, it’s a good thing that the user was not committing human right abuses. I’m gonna go back to posting lefty memes now, cya.

No, i expect a responsible admin to oppose justifying human right abuses and do their job of removing those victim blaming comments
