No need to get so agressive, can't we talk like adults?
I don't think it's unlike the other because I've not been talking about the justification for wanting to supress/remove them instead the morality of doing so.
However abhorrent we find someone else's views doesn't enable us to silence them. Isn't it relevant to point out that there were people (majorities, in fact) who had the same kind of reaction to things we find acceptible today as we do to these nasty racists? They too felt they were justifified.
- eropple 10y agoWhen I'm being aggressive, I will be sure to let you know. I will underline it, if you'd like. I would consider standing by while others threaten to harm people based on their ethnicity to be as immature, as un-adult, a thing as can be done. Giving the playground bullies--and their adult counterparts in the ranks of the literal-not-figurative fascists--room to instill fear and to threaten the oppressed into silence is not what adults do. But it's interesting that you focus on adult rather than decent or just. Edifying, even.
