What if, instead of either of these, we made it clear as a society that advocating violence against or the elimination of a class of people is unacceptable and we gave no venue for that conversation whatsoever?
- faissaloo 8y agoBut most people believe some people should be eliminated, the only thing that changes is who depending on your political alignment.
- ubernostrum 8y agoI think some people should suffer social consequences for their beliefs, which may include absolutely no-one from "polite" society being willing to associate with them unless/until they show a genuine change. Those people, in turn, tend to believe that people like me should be forcibly rounded up into camps, gassed, and then cremated or dumped into mass graves. Do you really and truly believe, deep in your heart of hearts, that these are exactly perfectly identically equivalent positions? That both of them consist of "eliminating" opponents? Because from where I'm sitting, only one "side" is advocating for actual literal violent mass extermination of the people they don't like.
- canhascodez 8y agoI can see how this might be a convenient belief, but I'm having a hard time imagining a more foul lie.
