Thread for people saying that I shouldn’t be giving GO’D airtime and that deplatforming works judging by Ben Shapiro and Milo Yiannopoulos.

I have blocked nearly 30000 fascist accounts and agree that they should be left to fester in their own online echo chambers.

There’s a difference between her and Ben and Milo, she is running for election to the Dail, she got 6000 first preference votes in the EU election and over 10000 after transfers.

She’s very clever when canvassing in public, sticks to the whole anti corruption message.
3/6

She keeps her most hateful rhetoric for her online audience.

If she came for my parents house that don’t have social media and listened to her talk about her anti corruption message then I have no doubt that they would vote for her because....

....they wouldn’t have a clue of her racist views.

But I have social media and have seen her racist views and would inform my parents of them and there wouldn’t be a chance that she would get their vote.

The racists will vote for her regardless but a lot of decent people will see this video and inform their parents and relations that may not be online and haven’t a clue about her real views that might have voted for her.

It’s also nice to the the amount of people that can’t stand her or her views. It’s great to see the level of support for minorities in ireland.

It’s not seen too often and sometimes it looks like she has more support than she actual has.
