its kinda easy to be labelled neonazi these days
Is it? Hasn't been a problem for me.
That's because you're not in the "basket of deplorables"
That would seem to be a very easy place to avoid.
How? One's political views are largely an expression of innate personality traits. And, as we have seen, the basket of deplorable includes anyone who is not explicitly left wing.
"the basket of deplorable includes anyone who is not explicitly left wing."
Nah. It tends to include neo-nazis, neo-confederates, racists, sexists, white supremacists, kiddy diddlers, and the like. It's not a particularly difficult group to not be a part of.
No. It includes anyone who is opposes left wing ideas and is effective.
Nah. It includes some of the most disgusting members of society. Curious how you rise so adamantly to their defense.
You're attitude to people is absolutely toxic. Why are you surprised that people side against you?
I'm not surprised. I consider it a badge of honor that neo-nazis, neo-confederates, racists, white supremacists, sexists, kiddy diddlers, et al, side against me.
You might consider being concerned if your ideas and attitudes align with those of the aforementioned deplorables. And yes, that would be the correct term.
Edit: Calling people by the correct descriptive terms is not smearing. I'm sorry you are confused.
This is all in your head guy. You started throwing all these smears around, and now having done so, you congratulate yourself for having such virtue and integrity for despising these people.
It all just boils down to a fig-leaf for your hatred.

It's not really a problem if none cares who you are.
Speaking from personal experience?

Yupp. Be a good leftie and castrate yourself, having a penis is male priviliege! Only TERFs downvote this.
Unfortunately, I can't state my opinion of this comment for fear of being flagged. I'm sorry people don't let you into their living room to yell at them, too.

As far as consequences for voicing one's opinion go, having a post on the Hacker News forum flagged is pretty much down at the bottom.
We've banned this account for using HN primarily for ideological battle. That's not allowed here, regardless of which flavor your favor.

There are a lot of neonazis around these days...

And yet, somehow, I have avoided it. Curious.

Yeah, you don't have to be an actual neonazi, just be friends with and support them and their views.
being labelled neonazi is about as easy as being labelled "libtard". The very left oriented people often have a strong sense of moral superiority, and will directly accuse anyone who does not agree of being a neonazi. in general i would say though, when you are pointing with one finger, 4 are pointing back at yourself (and by this I dont mean you, its an expression)
Except that when you're marching with swastikas, and displaying nazi signs and slogans, it's kind of difficult to claim you're not a nazi. But you keep right on assuming you have a moral position.
I was accused of white-supremacism for questioning the mask.
I think that illustrates the way these things work pretty clearly.
That's because the Overton Window have shifted to the right so much.
I haven't opened Gab in a while so I just loaded the front page, and I can see why Mastodon moderators don't want to deal with them either. The content is not as blatantly illegal as many other blacklisted sites, but the front page is incredibly toxic and hateful. I would block most of those posts if they woulf ever hit my personal instance.
Feel free to join (or set up) an instance that doesn't employ blacklists, though. The default Mastodon configuration comes with an empty blacklist so I'm sure there are servers out there that will let you access Gab and other blacklisted servers if you wish.
However, other servers are allowed to block you or your server at their digression if you're boosting or posting content they don't care for. After all, freedom of speech does not imply any obligation to be heard.
