Let's just murder anyone who doesn't agree with us. This will surely lead to an orderly, civilized society.
No, let's just murder anyone whose skin colour I personally hate.
The difference is, your scenario is made up, and the scenario I described happened a lot
You don't think anyone has been murdered for having the wrong ideas?
To be true, both scenarios happened alot of times already.
Have you ever heard of the Cambodian genocide?
Go to Russia or North Korea and start saying things the government doesn't agree with. I'm sure you'll be fine.
Oh, I have just escaped Russia, not going back there any time soon, thank you. Still, you are getting jailed and killed there for openly expressing very particular sort of ideas, which is very different from jailing and killing everyone from different ethnicity indiscriminately
It's more a criticism of the rampant idea I see floating around on Lemmy that people that hold harmful political views should be executed. What does "intolerance" look like?
That's what Nazis do and why everyone else is trying to ban them.
Walking the fine line is hard. But here's a real life example: demomstrators armed with rifles and guarding outside Drag events have reduced the level of vitriol nearby and led fascists to whine about it on Twitter and question their pro 2A belief system.
noo but as long as they agree with MY views they are fine (my views are objectively correct) /s
Ideas don't threaten anyone. Actions do.
Where do you live that everyone around you hated you for your race? While racists do exist, your average person does not care.
Also, you don't have a right to have people around you like you.
I can't help but feel you are exaggerating. What if people didn't like you because they don't like you, rather than race.
And yes, you have ZERO right to make people around you like you. Don't live around shitty people. 95%+ of the USA is not racist. I'm sorry you didn't fit in when you were a kid but don't try to do away with free speech because your feelings were hurt.
Now I understand where you're coming from. You freaked out at me because I and a couple other folks didn't have the brain power to work out your point in another thread on this post. Your freakout was bugging me, so I finally thought to look at your other posts. My only issue is that you jump right to an attack like people are supposed to know your background by either completely reading every single thread on a post so they see your comments, or having read your comment history to inform their understanding of where you're coming from. I couldn't tell if you were a white power nutzo or an ally. Jesus Christ on a stick, you were fighting with me and I FUCKING AGREE WITH YOU, just not your ATT%TACK ATTTACK ATCKCKCOAKI
I didn't know you were black until I saw your comment where you discussed it. All I saw originally was a confusing comment about tolerance that I couldn't parse. You assumed that I asked you to clarify BECAUSE YOU ARE BLACK, like I can tell you are black by your fucking text. Rage on, friend. Rage on.
I asked for clarification because I wanted to understand your point. But fine, I'm a racist nazi liar who should kill myself in a bunker. You act like people asking for clarification and having no knowledge of your skin color is the same as someone saying to a black person, "oh, you're so well spoken." You're right, asking for clarification is RACIST, and you are going to save the world by raging at people instead of being understood.
Actually, when I took the time to look at other comments you made in the ~~thread~~ post, I found your biographical comment absolutely enlightening, and not at all confusing. Unlike your tolerance comment, where I couldn't tell where you were coming from, but wanted to understand. I wasn't sure if you were making an alt-right argument or a leftist comment or whatever. You went straight to throwing insults at people assuming they wanted to argue with you rather than understand what point you were trying to make - that is what prompted me to make my Les Miserables comment. I probably should not have played the same rage game you are playing, but I can only be called a nazi and told to kill myself so many times before I start serving back.
I have zero interest in doxxing you, I am sorry that it happened to you before. I also don't find your insults to be jokes. "People like me" - you don't know me at all.
It's clear you have a couple screws loose. Hope you get the help you need.
go to therapy I think it would help you
You should get a job first
You guys need to learn what the word projection means
bet you felt smart writing that
youre wrong. if a minority is treated poorly, there is no possible reason other than racism. /s
