What are your views on this? I actually disagree with it. Obviously the guy is a complete bell end but he should be allowed to air his views and then people can debate with him.
No he shouldnāt

yeah, good idea.
Iām for freedom of speech and then actually debating with these people why I think theyāre wrong.
breaking terms of service on a private website isnāt a freedom of speech issue.
even if it was racists donāt deserve a platform.

Do you not agree with freedom of speech?
Not when its racist bile, no
a) freedom of speech doesnāt involve forcing private companies to give everyone a platform to say whatever they want
b) any reasonable definition of freedom of speech precludes hate speech
c) what do you hope to gain from conversing with fascists if youāre not sympathetic to their cause?

But surely true freedom of speech has to offend sometimes? I certainly donāt agree with anything that man says but let him say it and then hopefully show others that he is a hateful scumbag and why he is.
donāt think so
I find people like him genuinely interesting and find it difficult that he has the views he does.
why let him say it? all he is doing is trying to incite hatred to a group of people without merit
thereās absolutely no reason to give him a platform

Maybe it is but what I mean is that I find the things he talks about interesting not his beliefs
ah come on mate, he literally just spouts hatred to Muslims, there is nothing interesting about it
But I listen to them and disagree with them. What is wrong with that?
do you seriously not see how privileged you are that you can just ālistenā to hate speech and ādisagreeā with it and still feel safe in your continued existence in society?
