"you're not going to eradicate it by dehumanizing those who adhere to it and advocating for violence against them. The only way to achieve that is to get them to understand that they're wrong"
I think you need to read a history book on WW2, because that is definitely not what happened to get rid of Nazism.
- deadbeeves 3y agoYet there are still Nazis.
- mbg721 3y agoIn any meaningful sense?? Yeah, there are some edgy attention-seekers, but no, there are no longer real threatening Nazis.
- deadbeeves 3y agoIf they're not threatening then there's no point in punching them, beyond perhaps satisfying one's own violent urges.
- jonhendry18 3y agoNo? Not the guy who shot up a mall in May? "Texas mall shooting: gunman expressed interest in neo-Nazi views – report" Or the guy who shot up a dollar store Or "Neo-Nazi Marine Plotted Mass Murder, Rape Campaigns with Group, Feds Say While tasked with protecting the nation, Matthew Belanger was plotting a killing spree against minorities and to rape “white women to increase the production of white children,” according to federal prosecutors" Weird that you apparently feel compelled to downplay the threat.
- mbg721 3y agoUm, yeah, okay, there is a crazy dude who was engaged in violent asshole behavior. I don't see how it's helpful to get all outraged and apply Nazi labels.
- mynameishere 3y agoYet there are still Nazis ...in brigade-level strength, that liberals have been rooting for for almost two years now. Shrug. Don't waste time explaining this to them.
