You realise that beliefs are a shifting scale, right? Not everybody with beliefs right of center are alt-right Nazis. I can't stand those people either.
I used to be similar to you, until I met people with a whole host of opinions. I wish you well.
If 11 people agree to share a table with 1 nazi, you have a dozen Nazis.
How's the Maths education where you are?
That’s a civics lesson. That you think it’s about the math is on you.
Better than yours apparently.
How's your English education?
Oof. You’ve just said that you either have an inability to process a simple aphorism, or, worse, you think it’s fine to ally with Nazis, effectively proving the truth of the aphorism.
Love a good self own, get rekt nazi.
Never said you were, but that doesnt mean the cutoff point has to be all the way "out there" for conservative and problematic in the long run.
Besides, what do you even know about "me" given you say you used to "be like me"? You know, well perhaps not nothing but not much. And i too have met people with lots of different oppinions, yet i didnt leap towards the right, quite the opposite in fact. So... if you "used to be similar to me", well then you're close to falling into the deep end.
Here is some free advice: careful with what you assume you know about someone you never met before.
Yeah, that's a fair point about assumption, was a bit silly of me. I'm responding to a few people of the same stance as you so it all kind of blurs into one. Kbin needs some default profile pic rather than a black square.
We're discussing ideologies of hate, exclusion, and domination. Such ideologies do not tolerate anything less than absolute compliance. So no, there's no shifting scale here; your side won't allow there to be one.
No you don't, and that's the whole problem.
