      Possibly, yes. Resistance comes in many flavors. There are benefits to having people inside, whether that is to smuggle information, provide small comforts to those affected, be eyes and ears, etc.

      The point is you (nor I) do not know anything about this guy other than the bits in the article, and there is not enough information to merit a response such as “he is not human and deserves imprisonment or worse”. I’m not defending him specifically (again, insufficient info), but I am condemning you (and anyone else painting the world in such broad strokes) for throwing out assumptions, espousing dehumanizing rhetoric based upon those assumptions, and the hypocritical advocacy of imprisoning people you deem not human.

      TL;DR: You’re advocating the same tactics used by those you so abhor on a platform where the demographic calls each other nazis in the comments like it’s a cheat code to winning an argument. I’ve already explained why this rhetoric is dangerous.

          I’m done. I’m fucking done. You’ve moved the goalposts so far beyond the original that I don’t think we’re even in the same state we started out in.

          Bottom line: You were espousing dangerous rhetoric given how flippantly people around here resort to calling others nazis (the subjects of articles and other users both). You can’t just deem/call someone a nazi and use that as an excuse for “anything goes”. I’ve explained how that is a dangerous cocktail.

          Say what you will. If it’s in violations of the rules, it’ll probably get modded. If the behavior repeats, you may get a ban. That’s not specific to you; it applies to everyone. In no way are mod actions here to be interpreted as anything other than maintaining a civil atmosphere and adherence to the community rules and the LW TOS.

          Don’t like it? Go over to YPTB and whine and spin another tall tale about how mods here are fascist bootlickers because we won’t let people screech for violence. Or you can go find another community that allows that kind of bullshit. Frankly, I don’t give a fuck.,

          I’ve explained the rationale behind the mod actions clearly and more than once. If you don’t get it by now, I’m not going to entertain you any further.

            That’s fine. I’m not going to discuss things with someone who so clearly supports platforming a safe space for nazis, their truck drivers, and, apparently, scabs?

            Dude. Not a good look and not a look befitting this community. You need to revisit your ability to mod.
