From the GBS thread (not importing drama, just representin') re: "How exactly do you reasonably engage with "let's get rid of all the black people, just, y'know, make them go away":Novo posted:The same way you deal with the guy who thinks UFOs are transmitting eggnog recipes into his fillings. So if you're in public, you politely ignore him. If he's at your door with a gun then that's different. I'm preparing some sharp rear end rebuttals for that day, let me tell you

Instead of him talking to the press by himself, he's going to talk to the press with nazi "bodyguards" beside him. What a victory! ______________ And actually read between the lines on that quote. He's trying to generate sympathy from conservative people who only know him from the mainstream media (aka the people reporting he's 'the leader of the alt-right' instead of a neo-nazi genocide advocate) or the video (where he's a well-dressed guy calmly trying to talk about memes around a hostile crowd until he's sucker-punched instead of a neo-nazi preaching nazism) while painting his enemies as crazed maniacs that will attack him anywhere.

deep web creep posted:Here are the appropriate targets: nazis Again, I don't have a lot of problems with punching Richard Spencer, who is obviously, unequivocally, 100% a nazi in the face. If your point is, it's OK to punch people who have literally themselves endorsed the genocide of a race, then sure. My point is that the absolute lack of reflection on when this *is* appropriate is going to lead to a lot of people being defined as "nazis" and punched for tenuous reasons. And yeah, deciding when violence and direct action is an appropriate measure in protest is difficult, and should be. Do you think it's better that people don't give thought and reflection to their actions and just punch whoever they think might be a nazi?

It is weird that this is such a tricky issue for me. On the one hand, as a child I applauded a rather iconic image of a holocaust survivor's daughter smacking a marching nazi in the head with her purse. On the other hand, I completely get why smacking people with awful opinions because they deserve it is super subjective in some cases and having personally known a few former believers who fear retaliation from their old communities for speaking out about abuse or just issues with their faith in general, I get why its a slippery slope. On the other other hand, the remixes are loving hilarious.

They say things like "I am a nazi" and do things like LITERALLY advocate for LITERAL genocide. is this guy who is heiling hitler and yelling kill all jews a nazi???? jeez you guys i don't know there might be a slippery slope here oh nooooo!!!!!

"Hey we're just saying, y'know, what if there were no black people? Wouldn't it be neat if they were just, y'know, gone? The exact means of disposing of them, well, we call it 'peaceful ethnic cleansing' wink wink nudge nudge" https://www.revolvy.com/main/index.php?s=AlternativeRight.com&item_type=topic This is really their foundation of argument, they're not even subtle about it. I'm glad Spencer got punched and I hope he gets punched more.

deep web creep posted:Who needs to think about anything? Why the gently caress are people saying this? You need to think about what exactly constitutes a Nazi. We're all firmly on the side of Richard Spencer belonging in the "actual Nazi" category, but even by your standards: - He doesn't call himself a Nazi. - He hasn't directly advocated for literal genocide (he has hosted an article on his site authored by someone else that calls for literal genocide) Do I think he's a nazi? Absolutely. Do I think he, in particular, needed to be punched? Without question. But even in his case, the most nazi-ish nazi in America it's not *absolutely* black and white. And I think a lot of people are approaching this incident and nazi punching in general from "Nazi punching is good, if I think someone is a Nazi I can punch them", and that's going to result in a lot of supposed "nazis" getting punched or worse.

If he didn't actually mean literally Kill All The Black People, he would not be using words that literally mean Kill All The Black People ("ethnic cleansing", which he personally still advocates)

Yeah, sure, fair enough. Like I said, you won't find an argument from me that he's not a Nazi or worthy of punching. If your argument is "is it OK to punch Richard Spencer", then go hog wild.

Call Me Charlie posted:Instead of him talking to the press by himself, he's going to talk to the press with nazi "bodyguards" beside him. They will do that anyway. People like him have spent the last eight years saying they were being oppressed by Obama for being white to the nodding of "moderate" Republicans everywhere. Crowder edited a video of him starting a fight with a union guy to make it look like he was the victim so they will manufacture this sort of thing even if it doesn't happen which will be picked up by every right wing media outlet. Nazis like him will play the victim card up until they are actively killing people and then say they are still defending themselves and right wingers will believe them all the way. White supremacy was on its way to being normalized already, this rear end getting punched isn't going to make people that weren't already open to ethnically cleansing their fellow citizens suddenly open to ideas they weren't before.

A number of people have said in conversation about this whole nazi thing that it's okay, there's just no way there could ever be a fascist takeover in the US, and that the whole idea of ethnic extermination is so dumb that it could never catch on. I'm absolutely certain most of Germany never imagined poo poo like the Einsatzgruppen and gas chambers and ovens right up until they happened.

Yeah it's like, this poo poo happened quite literally within living memory. "It could never happen here" is naive as gently caress considering Hitler was taken as a joke right up to the point where he seized power. Edit: Not to mention we are watching half of America deny the reality right before their eyes, and "you" somehow think that they'll wake up if fascists seize power. No, they'll blindly follow their fascist Strongman as long as he pisses off liberals. Rhjamiz fucked around with this message at 05:23 on Jan 25, 2017 |
