Nazi lives don’t matter
Please look up the Paradox of Tolerance, also known as the Contract of Tolerance.
Why are you defending the intolerant so hard?
You need to understand, this isn't "adopting their tactics." This is "if you do not tolerate others, you no longer are protected by the social contract."
You can opt out if you wish, but that has to cut both ways, or your contract of tolerance is worthless.
Nothingburgers like concentration camps and denying people human rights because they're brown? Fuck all the way off with your slippery slope horeshit.
THIS YEAR there were folks in DC doing goddamn nazi salutes. And they have built a camp in FL. Are you, and maybe this is a big point.. are you not american?
Are Marxists not Marxist because Marx is dead?
People who work for the nazi run camps are just contractors to you?
scabs. they’re the equivalent of scabs. are scabs at a labor strike ok with you?
i’d like to continue our thread here. i am starting to understand something about your train of thought. see my scab reply and let me know what you think there. or here. either way.
to me, the logistics trucker that puts his humanity at risk by trucking for the nazi camps is … I get it. he’s working class, paycheck to paycheck… but that’s a formula we’ve seen before huh?
a scab in a nursing home or shipping dept or air traffic control is the same formula.
remember, what the first nazi cohorts did was legal when they did it. the camps. the logistics. all of it. (except for that long knives thing)
are we to forgive folks just following orders? just getting by? maybe the trucker is more human than the director of the camp, sure.
i am still going to remind him and others, for the rest of their lives, they supported this “legal” monstrosity of death.
I never said they don’t deserve human rights. I’ve said they are not human. They trade all humanity when they choose to be nazis. Why are you tolerant of nazis enough to not see this point as a repercussion of their own choices?
You cannot dehumanize that which is not human. THEY dehumanize themselves. Look, I am not going to budge from this mindset. They are physically in meatspace human. But their hearts, minds, souls, and intentions are no longer such. They simply cannot be trusted let alone given an inch.
Bottom line look you got a job to do. Calls for violence? Spams? Yadda yadda. Modding aint easy. But for all that is honest - stop pretending it is somehow important to remind people nazis are human too. “dehumanizing” is your thing, I get that. But look at your audiences and the replies you’ve “inspired” by your action.
Yep they are some combination of ignorant, greedy, selfish, and cruel, but they are indeed human.
And despite what this administration wants us to think, Latinos are humans too and most are not criminals.
if I have been shown to toss a salute, support trump, pine for the good old blood and soil days, and or supply logistics to those doing those things, sure.
as in, the persons in the original article.
it is a choice to support them. a choice that makes you one of them.
america is the bad guy on the current era’s world stage.
stop making it difficult to call nazis out for being inhuman pieces of trash.
they can be healed! but not by threads online. direct community action and a sprinkling of leopards eating faces will turn some around back into being human again.
Fuck nazis.
