Controversial - the community to discuss controversial topics.
Challenge others opinions and be challenged on your own.
This is not a safe space nor an echo-chamber, you come here to discuss in a civilized way, no flaming, no insults!
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, "trust me bro" is not a valid argument.

No taking fringe weirdos seriously from both ends of the spectrum lead to ww2. You know how the NSDAP came to power? Because there was civil unrest instigated by the communists and they promised law and order.
These things happen because society and the main stream start to ignore the facts and look away, they fester and get bad and the next day you wake up in Stalin Russia, Mussolini Italy or Hitlers Germany.
Sorry but ww2 didn't happen because Elon Musk bought twitter or because Hitler made the Volksempfänger-Radio available to everyone, it was a little bit more complicated than that and the process started way earlier.
Also looking away is exactly what Chamberlain decided to do and look how that went.
Oof, bud. I don't have high hopes for this community if your first reply as its creator is going to be to ignore most of a long and thought out response to your controversial opinion to focus on a briefdigression at the end because you thought of a strawman for it. Personally, I'm out. Good luck!
do you want me to respond to it? :3
Pardon? Who pulled Godwin here first? Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, you didn't provide any apart from: Cave canem, the Nazis are coming.
Yep, you're reinforcing what I said pretty well there. My apologies though, I had thought your response was literally the first and now several more have loaded for my very new instance. Unfortunately those have confirmed for me that you have a bad habit of latching onto one or two words of a post and trying to make 'gotcha' arguments that ignore the actual point of the post, and I think that's fundamentally incompatible with trying to moderate a community like this, so I'll be sticking with my choice to not participate.
The downvotes suggest that in fact most of us aren't into your whole hatred towards .... *every domain ending in .social? *
Jesus you have been here 5 days and you're this hateful? Or are you from another server originally?
