I'm not being ironic but I assume your confusion is because you're fascist apologist piece of poo poo? And don't worry your "antifa are the real nazis" bullshit is bullshit so you won't get punched just for being one of those, and also because you're probably a political homebody. You do seem really worried that nazis in all but self accepting name might catch a stray swing though, do you, perhaps, believe racial mixing is white genocide?

Oh ok good. But you think antifa can't tell the difference for some reason, and when they're all hopped up on goofballs after-a-bashin' they might start eyeballing random people like yourself. Or maybe you're arguing in bad faith because your immense privilege has blinded you to reality. I don't know. I'm confused too. We're all confused.

ok so lets just pretend that the united states just elected a freeper, racists feel empowered to burn mosques and harass people non stop, and its 10 days in with a loving constitutional crisis, what is the not-dumb way to stop them before they start savaging justice? When they round people up in airports? When they're defying court ordered injunctions? When they have full power over all the apparatus of the most powerful military in the history of the world? Is it better to just mock them as you're led onto the trains and then later struggle when you're pushed through the gates or vice versa?

I also remember when I first read the logical fallacies page on Wikipedia, couldn't wait to copy paste them against my debate opponents to show them how smart I am. I asked my politics professor how can I tell when a slippery slope is an example of a logical fallacy and when is it legitimate, and I remember his answer very well. He said "use your judgement", a very wise suggestion, unlike what I am seeing here in this thread, where people can't wait to jump on you with "You just used this fallacy, your argument is invalid :smuggo:", not realizing that sometimes it is valid reasoning.

Well, "if you punch Nazis next thing you know everyone will be getting punched" is actually a really good example of a slippery slope fallacy, absent some sort of historical precedent.

By the way, I find it really funny how Pittsburgh Lambic is somehow optimistic that people will never become fascist again, but simultaneously believes that society will devolve into uncontrolled violence if some Nazis are punched. Like, it's totally unrealistic that fascism could become popular again (despite there being clear historical precedent), but totally realistic that punching some Nazis will result in everyone violently attacking each other for their political beliefs (despite there not really being any historical precedent for this happening).

PLEASE ASK ABOUT MY 80,000 WORD WALLACE AND GROMIT SLASH FICTION. PLEASE.

The far right (whether meeting the incredibly narrow criteria for nazism or fascism that have currency in this thread or not) have quite a history of radicalising people who go on to murder people on the basis of their ideology. There's even a term they use for the doctrine by which they maintain plausible deniability for inciting these crimes. To continue suggesting such inciting rhetoric is protected speech and that nazis shouldn't be punched because they're pissing into the wind is hilarious, when it would seem by the current circumstances that white supremacists and authoritarian fascists already have some profound influence on national policy. When the likes of Steve Bannon are in charge of organs of the state responsible for monitoring and combating hate groups, the government alone cannot be trusted to combat them.

Besides this, the rightly-punched Richard Spencer in particular is a dude who openly attempted to organise an "armed march against the jews", which is exactly how a loving pogrom starts. How was this march prevented? The local populace manifested to physically oppose it and the nazis, cowards and bullies that they are, shat it and failed to show up.

Mass deportations of ethnic or religious groups constitute Crimes against Humanity at the very least and genocide at worst so when a sitting President(s adviser) begins to enact Executive Orders that have the sole aim of deporting Muslims (but have been dressed up in enough flowery language to dog whistle) and people itt say 'genocide couldn't happen in America' I really don't get it.

the numbers have been bouncing up and down a bit from the looks of things, down in 2014 then up in 2015, number of hate groups during that same period follows a similar trend, though i find myself more curious as to why the dip in 2014 took place

i mean though at least the hate group curve looks like it's been trending downward since the initial wave of gently caress obama? :confused:

In 2013 Richard Spencer et al. re-engineered all of their more overt "seriously, let's kill the black people" content into their new, hip, swag, dope, totally epic message format and tone that is those totally lovable, fun, hilarious guys popularly known as the Alt Right, and oops they may have hit the correct combination because they are very obviously gaining traction. This change in their message tone and packaging was not accidental and was not something they did on a whim. This is when, don't laugh, the Pepe poo poo got rolling.

“We have to look good,” he told Salon.com writer Lauren Fox, because no one is going to want to join a movement that is “crazed or ugly or vicious or just stupid.”

e:

quote:

Real diversity and tolerance apparently only go so far, however. In an address at white supremacist Jared Taylor’s 2013 American Renaissance conference, Spencer called for “peaceful ethnic cleansing.” As an example of how this could be accomplished, he cited the 1919 Paris Peace Conference, where new national boundaries were formed at the end of World War I. “Today, in the public imagination, ‘ethnic cleansing’ has been associated with civil war and mass murder (understandably so),” Spencer said. “But this need not be the case. 1919 is a real example of successful ethnic redistribution—done by fiat, we should remember, but done peacefully.”

one sentence one fallacy ratio going on there. Obviously not every idiot who voted for trump, or frankly, didn't do the loving right thing and vote against trump, is a nazi. But the offices of campaigns are always staffed by the most zealous, and trumps campaign did indeed employ white power fucks as well as benefit directly from that massive growth in hate group identification during the obama admin. He is not a republican from 10 years ago or even loving 4. People are trying to describe the world to you here and you shrug. Just go to bed, dream that there are nazis reading this very thread, delighted that his prey is divided on whether he is a threat.
