So did you find any good termites to purchase?

Jumping back here to say that

we need to ALWAYS remember the sheer depravity other human beings are capable of.

Is the only thing I’m saying

Except I’m not. My scope has been very limited to the dehumanization aspect. But otherwise I’m done with you arguing in bad faith

My point is less about what rights they might deserve, and more about staying informed and vigilant of the ideological capacities of human beings, including yourself.

This entire conversation is on a post about the death of a nazi. “the horrible ideology took a loss” sure sounds like “the horrible ideology” of nazism “took a loss” of the death of one of their own.

To go back to the point I was making in that comment, where did I say anything about celebration?

Same

You need to work on your reading comprehension. I have said absolutely nothing about whether or not to celebrate the death of a nazi, neither does the paradox of tolerance.

I’m not trying to defend them. I’m trying to point out that you’re not defending yourself from that idea. In a world where all the nazis have been genocided, that is a world that accepts genocide as a reasonable solution. That world will commit another genocide and sooner than you might think. Especially when you consider that it didn’t start with nazism. There were confederates before them and there are zionists after them. If you accept one genocide then any other just has to find the right justifications. Recognizing human susceptibility to that idea is the first step in protecting yourself from it. If we fail to do so, the cycle will never end.

You’re arguing against things I did not say nor imply. I have made no argument here against self defense nor for civility.

I am abiding the paradox of tolerance by not tolerating dehumanizing rhetoric. Because I believe that rhetoric enables fascism.

The ability to strip away the title of “human being” is exactly what they are arguing for. You just have different criteria.

I’m not saying you have to treat them with kindness. I am saying you have to reckon with the fact that they are still human. Or you will be doomed to follow the same path.

I believe I called them fuckheads so I don’t seem to have a problem with ridicule. My point of contention is in the reply tweet of “no human being was harmed”. I’m not trying to defend the thoughts or actions of these people, I’m just saying we have to recognize that they are people. I propose building a better world, proving those ideas wrong, and defending ourselves when necessary.

I would say this is a stretch but that’s exactly the crowd that loves all *their symbolism bullshit.

Also, that painting accurately depicts the fear of the natives and wildlife at seeing the colonizers.

Yeah people need to do what they’re told, that’ll stop fascism. /s

Why don’t you point that attitude at the DNC (the ones who are actually supposed to do what we say)? Why don’t you ask them to take responsibility for their actions? They could’ve won if they had listened instead of literally plugging their ears when being told they were doing wrong.

You sound like an abusive parent. Probably should seek therapy. You also reminded me of this well worded Tumblr post. Here’s the text

Everyone will not just

If your solution to some problem relies on “If everyone would just…” then you do not have a solution. Everyone is not going to just. At [no] time in the history of the universe has everyone just, and they’re not going to start now.

Again. Stop blaming the many, start blaming the few.

Then make it easier for people to show up. Have locations open for a whole week. Universal mail in ballots. Compulsory voting. Hell, why not digitize it like Estonia did 20 years ago.

Voters aren’t the problem. The problem is voter suppression. Partially by FPTP, partially by our oppressive economy. Stop blaming the many and start blaming the few

“essential oils and clean eating” = arguing online and calling politicians

“Chemotherapy” = actual revolution
