Feel how you want, but Spotify has a very clear policy on hateful content. And sure, maybe you won’t listen to it, but do you know who will? Bigoted psychos that will go out and commit a hate crime. Allowing content like this on a popular platform will lead to hate crimes. There is nothing wrong with private platforms choosing to not platform certain kinds of content and it is entirely within their right.

Spotify has the right to deplatfom hateful content and doing so is the ethical thing to do.

Organize with your local anti-fascists. Unfortunately, some people will never be swayed.

I’ll be honest, i really do get that it’s repetitive seeing people reply to every Meloni-related post with basically the same message, but the fact is that it simply needs to be said. People can’t ignore how irresponsible the reporting on fascism in Italy is, because if we do, that just allows them to keep moving the Overton window towards apathy, and apathy is a dangerous thing in this context.

It’s just irresponsible / dishonest for journalists to call her anything other than what she is: a fascist. It is a well-documented fact and something we need to be completely honest about.
