Here I sit, trying to make ethical choices under capitalism, knowing full well that I might as well be trying to paddle a canoe upstream with my bare hands.

the best we can hope to do is avoid blatantly exploitative businesses, minimize our carbon footprint, and beat the living shit out of nazis

"beat the living shit out of [people who disagree with anonymous poster № 294" No.

Yes, because clearly this is what is meant by "Nazi." /s

Anonymous · 5mo · No.299

i think it's pretty clear that white supremacists are fairly distinct and are not just "people who disagree with no.294"

Anonymous · 5mo · No.300

and the "nazi = whomever the person who said nazi doesn't like" position screams radical centrist and is a bad look

alright hello friends i think i should make a statement before there is any confusion about where IIch should stand.

downplaying the huge resurgence of nazi beliefs is not great. pretending there is a middle ground is just inviting more bigotry.

this place is lgbtq friendly. black lives matter and trans rights are human rights

Anonymous · 5mo · No.307

@301 Shame. I thought this place was going to be a comfy board without political mouthbreathers. That's why I made my comment on how nice it was that there were no nazis. Oh well.

Anonymous · 5mo · No.308

@297 @299 @300 Even nazis deserve human rights. Political violence is always wrong unless in actual direct self-defense. This position is non-negotiable.

sk!_gaAry-2 · 5mo · No.309

i unambiguously stated that this board should not harbor nazis. centrism permits nazi ideologies and gives them a platform. nazis dehumanize people based on inherent traits that cannot be chosen. nazis have chosen to be prejudiced and antagonistic towards minorities to a devastating extreme. how can you defend this? literally "let's do genocide" versus "let's not do genocide" and here you are saying "political violence is always wrong."

@307 if you can't just appreciate a no nazis environment at face value I don't know how to help you dude

@309 I don't know if anyone told you, but genocide is a form of political violence.

@310 Nazis and antifa can both go to hell

@307 I'm with you. I'd prefer to accept discussion on pretty much anything, even if it's distasteful to me. It's not like Gemini attracts idiots, and there isn't even any problem to address yet.

Anonymous · 5mo · No.315

there are already plenty of places online and on gemini that are open for any topic of discussion. for better or for worse, if you want a community without nazis you're usually going to have to say so explicitly, and maybe piss off a couple centrists along the way

Anonymous · 5mo · No.318

@315 I didn't want heavy moderation. I was just pleasently surprised that the RW idiots had not found the place yet. Now that I know this site is frequented by LW idiots, I don't care any more.

Anonymous · 5mo · No.319

I guess I want a place online where any opinion is allowed but people are polite to each other. Suppose I'm going to have to make it myself.

@314 Intelligence does not protect one against believing bullshit. If anything, believing oneself to be more intelligent than average makes one more susceptible to it.

@399 We were talking about Antifa. They are known to commit violence against, well, pretty much anyone to the right of them. Have you not seen the footage or are you just being obtuse?

Anonymous · 5mo · No.454

@396 You can fuck off with your bullshit too, anon. The correct response to wrong beliefs is debate, not the banhammer or violence. Anything else has no place in a civilised society.

@452 I've seen a lot of bullshit and misleading video from right wing entertainment channels, like Fox News. I think your handlers just like to get you people riled up over imaginary dangers because it makes you easier to milk.

@456 I lost the thread of the conversation due to the heat. I thought we were talking about conspiracy bullshit, not bigoted bullshit. I actually agree that rudeness and bigotry can be banned, so long as it's not biased towards any particular groups.

@458 what do you think of the Proud Boys then?

@300 It usually does mean that though. I have been called a 'fascist' for disagreeing that someone else was a fascist.

a lot of aggro here for what is someone else's idea, one way or another. think your own thoughts and deal with things that actually affect you directly.

Anonymous · 5mo · No.473

@472 I didn't start the aggro.

Also lol @ my comment telling someone to kill themselves being deleted when they were literally saying that violence against some people is more acceptable than violence against others.

Pot, meet kettle.

@473 I wasn't referring to you in particular. The thread generally reads like people yelling someone else's words.

@473 Violence against people advocating for or committing violence (e.g., genocide) is absolutely more acceptable than violence against those who are not.

Anonymous · 5mo · No.476

@473 In other words, it's okay to punch Nazis.

Anonymous · 4mo · No.503

Idk about you. But I've personally never seen someone advocate for or commit genocide due to their conservative beliefs.

Anonymous · 4mo · No.504

@475 So, I guess that means violence against you is okay then?

I'm okay with that.

Anonymous · 4mo · No.505

@504 "The Paradox of Tolerance" is really not a hard concept to grasp. Violence to restrain the violent is justified.

Anonymous · 4mo · No.506

@503 Right? It's quite damning when someone says "Nazis are bad" and a person's response is "hey, you can't talk about conservatives like that!" What, you're really going to claim the folks wearing "6 Million Wasn't Enough" t-shirts as your own? No wonder modern conservatism is such shit.

Anonymous · 3mo · No.583

Your ethical concerns are a bad substitute for a personality. if you actually have concerns go do something other than signaling that you do in fact have concerns

@505 Woah there buddy, that’s some violent speech! I’m going to have to use violence to ‘restrain’ you.
