Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Joining the Nazi party to change it from within still involves joining the Nazi party.

You bring up an interesting point. So do you think Schindler was wrong to act how he did?

[–] Arbiter 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That’s a fair point, but you could also consider his factory still contributed to the war effort.

It absolutely did. Schindler contributed to the deaths of a vague many while saving some specific few.

If he had shuttered (and potentially sabotaged) his factory would more people have been saved or would he simply be replaced by a more cruel person who killed all those vague many and the some specific few.

It's hard to know - and it's why I take umbridge with viewing things through such a stark black and white lens. I legitimately don't know the answer - either in that case or with ICE. But I know, simply due to the scale of people, that some people are genuinely trying to reduce the harm of ICE from within.

One thing to bear in mind is that Schindler is generally hailed for his actions - I don't know if they were correct and optimal... but a lot of people do think they were praiseworthy.
