Adding that to the list of reasons I dislike crypto and its fanboys (as if I needed another).
No reason to hate neo nazis in your opinion? Very interesting
No. Fuck Nazis.
If a Nazi is at a table of 4 and no one speaks up. That table has 4 Nazis.
Nah, Nazis always want to talk about how Nazis are human.
No, there's good reasons to recognize people like Nazis as human.
Despicable, unforgivable, utterly detestable humans. But still humans.
It's an important distinction, because when you say to yourself "Monstrous people aren't human" the unspoken corollary to that is "And I'm human, therefore I cannot be a monstrous person."
Dehumanizing Nazis is how Nazis get away with being Nazis. Because when they're cartoon monsters on TV, everyone recognizes them as Nazis. But when it's someone's cousin or uncle, they figure "I know that guy. Yeah, he's got some shitty opinions, but he's not a monster. He loves his kids. He helps out at the church bake sale. So there's no way he could actually be a Nazi, because only monsters can be Nazis."
It's incredibly important to admit to ourselves that evil can live anywhere. That it can be in anyone. It would be easier to live in a world where we could draw these clean lines between monsters and humans, but reality just isn't like that.
Nazis are human beings, and that is by far the worst and most horrifying thing about them.
Yes, this is true and a more nuanced argument than the person I was responding to deserved. We're all susceptible to propaganda and it can absolutely happen here. However fascists leverage good will to normalize hate and fear.
The only thing that we cannot tolerate is intolerance.
Nazis sure do love to threaten violence and normalize fear.
That's a mighty specific rifle you mentioned there. You like to collect curios there bud?
Your account is an hour old and your only comment history is defending Nazis, with a username that refers to Hunter Biden. What were your other usernames?
Seems like you know absolutely nothing about either Project 2025 or what Trump has just come right out and said he's going to do.
Either that or you know absolutely nothing about Nazis.
Then your comment makes no sense. They aren't seeing Nazis around every corner, they're seeing the people you like as Nazis. That's a big difference.
Or do you have examples of them calling someone else Nazis that you feel doesn't deserve the label?
Again, do you have any other examples of them doing this with any other group of people? Otherwise your suggestion that they see Nazis around every corner still makes no sense.
No, fuck this. You are not entitled to make insinuations about people's mental state just because they don't agree with your gaslighting bullshit. You need to be banned.
Edit: brand new account; probably evading some other ban. Get this trash out of here.
Only took 20 minutes
“…list of reasons…”
“…no reason…”
?
There are a lot of people who take the approach of "If I make absolutely no sense until the other person gets frustrated, that means I win".
Checkmate, you stupid round earth idiots
