I get your point, I know how annoying these people are, I have relatives like that. But I'm not complaining about any kind of censorship nor freedom of speech. Social media has their rules and users must abide or leave. My point is: maybe we are close to racist, white supremacist, homophobic people, maybe we let them become close to our family, spouse/husband, children and we don't know because they can't say what they think.

That's exactly why I don't like most social media. People lose their connection to the real world. But the way I see, shutting people doesn't make their stupid ideas go away. We need better information and education to solve this problem. Shutting them up gives them another narrative of oppression. It works in the short term though.

You know, I thought exactly the same when I wrote it. It's totally valid argument. But the world today look at the right wing as lunatics, for what I can see. I don't know if it's like this in US but here in Brazil, most people see the supporters of Bolsonaro as crazy people, and they look exactly like that. And we can avoid dealing with them because we know they're like this. My point is: if you know the owner of that nice store is a white supremacist, racist, that kind of shit, would you make business with him? I would look somewhere else. I think most people would do that. They would be naturally silenced. Today we have information traveling faster. Maybe if we had this technology back then Hitler would have become just another crazy dude everyone ignore. It's a big maybe. I think I just believe most people are still sane.

I left Facebook since 2015. No regrets so far. About Trump, I'm not from USA so I'm not very knowledgeable about America's politics, but from what I know it's crazy to think he could win a second time, specially after the Capitol episode. Here in Brazil we had our Trump-like president (who was actually a fan of Donald Trump) and it was awful. And we had something similar to what happened in the Capitol, except nobody died here. It was ridiculous to see.

People should be allowed to speak. That's how we know who they really are. Give them the rope and let them hang themselves.
