    Many of the posts that have seen Belsky and others banned from Facebook have been in reply to direct attacks on them and friends with what many would consider hate speech.

    As if that justifies throwing what's arguably hate speech back. Especially with the tweet linked in the article, where she justifies it because it's "sarcasm". That's super ambiguous irl and especially on the internet; and besides if that's a justification then the Daily Stormer should be fine too, mainly because he randomly flipflops on calling things he's said in the past "ironic" and "sarcastic".

    I guess what I'm saying is that I don't fully understand attacking a group that's wronged someone else, as opposed to attacking the ideas or w/e.

      Not from the Daily Stormer

      Just can't wait for the next Spinoza sitting on a paint can next to his beer to tell us all about what to do.

        I don’t think colored people can be racist, I think racist attitudes come from a position of power

        [...]

        White death will mean liberation for all

        Does he not see that if all white people would be killed off then whoever did the killing would be in power and therefore be racist, according to his own beliefs? Sheesh, I understand the general concept of privilege although I think in a lot of cases where I've seen it used it's a blatant (mis)use of ecological fallacies, but this is taking it even a step further... I just don't understand the mindset where you're accusing a group of people of something, so your solution is to do the same back to them?
