The truth is that information does not radicalize people - censorship does. That's why the channers are as radicalized as they are - they've been censored everywhere else. Censor their last remaining outlets and you will increase violence by orders of magnitude.

I'm not sure how one arrives at that conclusion. I don't think either of these things is what radicalizes people.
How is that true? You'd expect radicalization to decrease on 8chan since that was clearly not censoring them..

I'd be fascinated by an attempt to elaborate on this frankly incredible statement.

Please give me one example of true information that would radicalize a person.
Um no. The reason these people hate and want to kill immigrants is not because they've been censored. Grow up.
