He didn't say we should just say gas them to death (like they'd do to some of us in a heartbeat), he just pointed out they deserve no right to be aggressive against minorities.

I see no issue there. If they want to be decent citizens there's an easy solution to that; stop being a nazi.

Edit: I otherwise agree with your comment, as they probably need some deprogramming to actually achieve said solution.

"they'd do that to us in a heartbeat" is both wrong (not every person who entertains these ideas actually wants to kill anyone) and also not even a good point. If you want to improve the world noticeably, you have to be BETTER THAN not the same as. Go talk to a nazi, actually understand what they think and feel, and figure out where that disconnect is.

So you're saying for example a woman gets brought up in an environment where she's raised as a nazi you think that it'd be acceptable for someone to rape and beat her?

I don't really think you do, I'm not going to bother listing other examples but you get the point - what you're saying is not only absurd but it's clearly not what you actually believe.

All people are people, it's that simple and there's no more to it.

No, I was saying Nazis have a history of death and destruction, while people leaning towards democracy tend to be a little more gentle with their fellow man.

Nobody deserves to be beaten or raped and I certainly didn't imply that.

You literally said they should have no rights, I get that you hadn't thought about what you were saying but I really think it's important to think about the implications of things we say.

I'd link that clip everyone always uses about the law Vs satan but it's overused, surfice to sau dehumanising humans isn't a thing good people do - and yes I know it's popular to at the moment but when I was a kid everyone thought calling things gay as an insult was a great thing and we as a society grew from that so we can grow from this.

I obviously meant they shouldn't have any rights to practice their nazism or do harmful things to whomever they dislike so much, not that they shouldn't have any human rights.

I feel like this should've been fairly obvious given the context of the conversation. Human rights should always be the first concern no matter who it concerns. Do you think nazis feel the same way?

With all due respect, with just how many people are literally calling for violence in this thread, no, I didn't connect those dots either. If you're actually truthful about not meaning they shouldn't have human rights, I'd strongly consider editing your previous statement. If you leave it, you're feeding into the hate echo chamber that you actually seem pretty opposed to. Words have got to be specific, if you're going to speak in absolutes, or people WILL misunderstand or mischaracterize you.

They might, but from my point of view human rights are a given in every situation. I also feel strongly about every human being holding the same value regardless of their standing in society.

I thought we were discussing what could be done to curb nazism, and again, I didn't mention any sort of violence anywhere. I thought it was clear that I meant that Nazis shouldn't have rights to do harm to others, or do other hateful things. I was in no way advocating removing their human rights.

Understood. Context matters, for both of us.

[–] andxz@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I'm glad we agree, and to be fair you were completely right; my original post wasn't as clear as it could've been.

[–] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

The first sentence you posted is exactly the thread that line of thought leads down. Disenfranchised people need to be talked to, met with empathy from the people they've been told are The Other. That's the only way to destigmatize the two from each other.
