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

@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.

@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 · 7mo · 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."
