Really I found Patton Oswald post to be so vile it tainted all the other posts. Don't ever listen to people outside of your identity group even when they are right and they are helpful, save your kids from drowning because you may form a bond and then one day you realize you are close to someone outside of your identity group. Of course his story had strawman of a Nazi in some impossible scenario.
How truly awful to break out of fake identities and connect to a real person on a human level. On the one hand you have Martin Luther King Jr sacrificing his life just so others can do that and on the other side you have some drunk, almost famous pile of garbage who wants to separate anyone different so he can live in some bubble in some world where the biggest bubble gets to crush everyone elses. He needs to crawl back into the segregated hole he came from.
I didn't expect it from someone so privileged. It's just the worst of humanity.
Parts of bluesky are parts of the fediverse. So are parts of threads and wordpress now.
- unethical_ban 2y agoI don't know what you're talking about. The post o saw was about not allowing nazis into a bar.
- ipaddr 2y agoIt was about not letting anyone not like you in a bar. If they are black and you are white watch out he might be nice but he is going to bring his black friends. You can replace Nazi with any strawman group.
- unethical_ban 2y agoAh, I see. You seem to think that there is a spectrum of benevolence when it comes to people who wear Nazi symbology.
- ipaddr 2y agoOf course a spectrum exists. For example Prince Harry on one side and Hitler on the other. Misses his original point. Exclude those different from you and segrate. That's the one lesson he always remembers. Truly sad individual.
- dragonwriter 2y ago> It was about not letting anyone not like you in a bar. No, it was about Nazis. You’ve chosen one of the infinitely many different arguments that would imply the conclusion argued for but are not implied by it, and chosen to claim that is what is being argued for. If done in good faith, this is just embarrassingly sloppy reasoning. If not...
- ipaddr 2y agoIt was about excluding people different from you. He uses Nazi as straw men because they reference a character that doesn't exist and that would never be in a bar in New York. But this is the one thing he remembers and lives his life by. He has never met or even seen a Nazi. He wants you to exclude those different from you. We need to include.
