Well... Up to a point. Still have to follow public service guidelines etc. as it should be but...
There is a push to save a chunk of money so always looking for opportunities in that space.
There was a comment somewhere about zoom pricing increasing so is a local BBB server an option for schools/Kura?
Maybe, but each school is a separate business so how do we identify the spend to put a case together?
It can take some time...

It is exactly the point...
You believe one thing based on research and theory.
I believe another based on historical fact.
And at the end of the day no one is stopping them from masturbating, we're just suggesting they don't do it in public.
And like any other income based corporation, Substack will fold when the money stops coming in.

The Government is not censoring them.
We're not censoring them.
We're just telling them to fuck off and do it somewhere else so that the rest of us don't have to put up with their shit.

Now that I will agree to! :-)
And please keep up the good work. I personally won't be reading you on Substack for "reasons" but that doesn't negate the value.

@npub1trd…ussx
Correct. So knowing what the risks are lets you determine a mitigation strategy.
And mine is, as you have observed, to limit my criticism of your support of substack to:
1) the fallacy of them claiming a "Free Speech" defence when they are not legally obligated to honour that.
2) specifically platforming Nazis for which there is a) ample evidence that they just don't give a shit and cannot be reasoned with and b) lost a war in which the rest of the world said NO to their ideas.

You've made a statement and decided to support a private enterprise in their endeavours to maximise their monetary intake so good on you.
I've assessed your actions based on my personal beliefs and I think you are being hypocritical and very selective in your conclusions, which is surprising given the research you actually seem to invest in all this...
I still stand by my assertion that Nazis and their ilk can fuck off and moan in their own little rat holes.

And you accuse me of dogma :-)
You can cling tightly to your one or two sources of your truth as much as you like however there are and will always be people who disagree with you for their own reasons but you clearly cannot let that go... You've done your research and good on you but who died and made you god?
Who are you to dictate to me what is right and wrong in this world?
How about you put some actions into place rather than regurgitating other peoples ideas?

It's the private sector we're talking about... Your precious "Free Speech Uber Alles" argument does not apply to the private sector...
Now if the Government were trying that on, THEN you would have a valid argument...
But they aren't, so you don't.

History is a wonderful thing and thanks for telling me what I already know...
My point, which you and your mate continue to refuse to acknowledge, is that in spite of all that carnage, sacrifice and suffering by people who you will have met in your lifetime, you are still prepared to support the promotion of Nazis for some bullshit "Free Speech" ideals that don't actually have any legal basis in the private sector, thereby setting a stage for it to happen again.

@npub1trd…ussx
Again, you can cherry pick any philosopher to support your argument and I can do the same... But the fact is that there was a literal war over this with the result that Nazi's DO NOT GET the protection of the "Free Speech" argument.
And why is that? Because there was six years of appeasement, let's discuss this rationally, "but Free Speech!" that preceded that war that FAILED when the bullets started flying.
So how about we don't repeat that and continue to tell Nazis to fuck off.

@npub1trd…ussx
That is the whole point... You are ignoring a devastating event that gives us a definitive answer to the specific question "Should Nazis be given the right to discuss their views under the umbrella of 'Free Speech'" and the answer is "No. They can fuck right off"
Am I trying to convince you otherwise?
No, because you are clearly in the "Free Speech Uber Alles" camp but pure philosophical arguments do not trump the reality of 85 million deaths to ensure you have the right to say that.

Stop sealioning this.
There was a 6 year long WAR over this less than a lifetime ago where the question of "Should we put up with Nazi rhetoric/ideology/philosophy in everyday life?" and the answer was then, and still is, NO.
There is nothing more to discuss.
Can we stop them from talking about it? No. But we can make it difficult for commercial entities like substack to mainstream their repulsive ideas.
Force them to run their own sites without contaminating the wider feed

99% of the time I would agree with you but not on the specific question of supporting or promoting Nazi ideology...
That question was decided by our parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and any other family and friends you can think of way back in 1945 after 6 years of appeasement and negotiation and another 6 years of all our war in which 85 MILLION people died...
And the answer was, Nazis and their ideology can fuck right off and we do NOT need to discuss it again!

Not going to make you feel any better but I spent 10 mins on Twitter earlier today (no, it hasn't improved any) and the second item was someone responding to Nikki Haley's call for security around schools to be increased to the level of Courts and Airports...
So the plan is to make *daily life* a frikken nightmare for every family in the USA rather than address the root cause.
Gotcha.

I keep being told by otherwise sane and rational people about needing to hold a conversation with today's Nazi's to convince them of the error of their ways...
My response is always an emphatic NO. We've already had a rational conversation between 1933 and1939 that resolved nothing so we then had a deadly argument for the next 6 years and the result of THAT was that Nazi's and their ideology can feck right off and die.
We do NOT need to discuss this again.

Just as many Metal bands cite Black Sabbath as their inspiration, in the Electronica world Devo rates a high mention... and one of the defining moments of Devo came during the Kent State massacre in 1970 (Gerry Casale was at the protest when the National Guard opened fire). And to mix it up even more, here is Devo performing the CSNY classic about the events that day.

The DIA site isn't particularly well organised so you end up having to monitor https://www.dia.govt.nz/Publications-and-Reports and keep an eye on the 'Public Consultations' section...

#[0] Anyone can say anything *after* the event... That is called rewriting history...
She said *NOTHING* during the event and has even used Nazi regalia in her online profiles so with all due respect she can fuck right off!
