This always reminded me of that George Bush / John Kerry debate picture that shows up here every so often that I can't find atm. You know the one I'm talking about, where GWB looks muscular and square jawed where Kerry is hunched and sinister. Our side is strong and handsome, ergo peepee doo doo, you're wrong and I'm right.

lol at people who still look at the suffragettes with rose coloured glasses. Sure some talked about the rights of women, but many were just violent man-hating criminals.




If you support the suffragettes you support a criminal hate group. If oppressed groups want rights maybe they should be extremely polite and state their case and only pursue legal and non-violent non-disruptive methods?

It's possible to acknowledge the good an organization does or represents, and also to be honest about its dark side. If the truth isn't good enough then neither is what you're lying about.

A dying comedy website does seem like a good place for that.



With all the trans stuff going on I'm surprised nobody is bringing up the trans racial stuff. Like, there was an actual D&D discussion on why being transracial is totally legit and should be just as respected as transgender or whatever.

Well being that race doesn't exist I consider the controversy over her quite funny.

Now for those that like to talk about biological differences and such we must resolve to help them see the error of their ways,. Because maybe their destructive tendencies are only caused by them not seeing that there are of course consequences to their actions. I don't much care for either side in the debate over transgenderism. I am mostly concerned about those who actively seek to subvert democracy, and who want to make arguments for racism.



Also if someone thinks a website is dying one shouldn't give it money. Just an observation.

One fights racism not by dehumanizing the racist.

Humans don't magically stop being humans if they do awful enough things. Humans can do awful things. We have to accept that and understand and change our failings to the victims and the perpetrators.

You're literally using the same language used to justify genocide and racism, and why? It doesn't help stop racism or do any good. I hope you don't honestly believe those less fortunate than you are subhuman.

All of us, even the weakest, saddest, most pathetic of them all, even those we want to hate are humans. To pretend otherwise only lessens ourselves.

So we should just let people get away with diing awful things under the idea that they'll not do it in the future? No harm done? THat really doesn't actually solve the problem also what do you tell the victims? "Oh hey the person who persucuted you for years is sorry, but we're going to forgive him because he said he promises he will not do it again." As Brazil shows that tends to just give those who aspire to hurt others a chance to regroup and find new means to wreck the system.





Also as South Africa shows generally horrible people only give up power when the alternative to them giving up power is something far worse. (That being Zimbabwe). You see when you do not punish what is certainly evil, you invite history to repeat itself.

It's funny that you bring up South Africa. Here's what they did after all the horrible crap that went on.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth_and_Reconciliation_Commission_(South_Africa)

quote:

The mandate of the commission was to bear witness to, record, and in some cases grant amnesty to the perpetrators of crimes relating to human rights violations, as well as reparation and rehabilitation.

Yes and frankly giving amnesty doesn't make sense. To forgive someone for horrible crimes doesn't actually discourage them or potential fallowers in the future. As Brazil shows it actually legitimizes their actions frankly. Also as SOuth frika under Zuma shows the lack of punishments for the Authoritarianism under Apartheid have encouraged a corrupt and Authoritarian system to persist.

The fact you assume you have to treat people as subhuman to punish them is concerning. And/or a lovely attempt at trolling. The reason I posted the Panopticon earlier is I think Fucoult had a lot to say about the flaws of this sort of thinking. There is perniciousness in the very language of "subhuman".

Likewise, forgiveness and compassion isn't weakness. Nor does it prevent a society from using punishment. Saying horrible people are twisted, horrible people but still people only demands we respect their humanity not ties our hand to their will. I pity the racist as a fellow human gone astray, not some subhuman lesser other.

Still doesn't make a slap on the wrist a good idea as truth and reconcilation is. Its far better to make those who see the best way to run a society through the terror of the many and torture of thousands and then act through it like those who committed Apartheid, like the Juntists throughout South America, like the KKK, have to show at the very least what a majority could see as penance for their crimes. Yes it is truly a great thing to forgive but its also rather ridiculous to tell victims to forgive monsters who knowingly wrecked others lives. Also as problems right now with Power mad authority figures in PD's show just stripping them of their badges doesn't make them stop. Making them know they can end up in prison is what makes them stop. Also I might be less despising of racists if I didn't know two who were raised in better settings than I was and actually got to know people who were not white and even interacted with them, but still ended up as alt right slimes. The racist is not the result of economic circumstances, it is the result of people wanting to dominate other humans.
