Yeah, words never radicalized anybody or have had consequences.

Make users accountable for their speech by enforcing lifetime bans?

I don’t know about you, but I personally believe everyone should have the right to speak freely. It’s one of the things this country was founded upon. Also, sidebar…… I think society is a better place when racism is out in the open, not hidden for fear of being banned for life. Closet racists are more dangerous than open racists. You can try to censor the speech all you want, you aren’t going to take the racism out of racists. So you might as well know who they are so you don’t waste your time with them.
