Not everything is part of the antifa vs alt-right conflict (or any political conflict), and cramming peoples' views into those boxes so you can level your pre-existing rhetoric against them is dumb and unhelpful.

T. Bombastus posted:That's not what I'm getting from his post, like, at all. I'll help you by pointing out the relevant bits: Because for decent people (=moral high ground) that's how it works: we can have our guilty pleasure thoughts of revenge or brutal justice but, when it comes right down to it, we'd jump on the KKK member to keep him from being beaten to death by a mob. (=punch a nazi/don't punch a nazi). This post also available on audiobook if you have reading difficulties. Not by me though, I'm not a native speaker.

I mean, personally, I don't want to see a human being beaten to death by a mob regardless. I don't think killing a person in the street is really equitable with punching or not punching a nazi.

Conservative speech is lazy, incredibly salty, and vastly inferior to anything you could come up with on your own, but it's so ubiquitous that some idiot children grow up afraid to try anything else.

Despera posted:Next you'll be telling me they have better teeth Well, if you insist: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-32883893 quote:Statistics suggest that, taken on pure oral health rather than appearance, the UK does better than the US. According to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's (OECD) figures, the average number of missing or filled teeth for a 12-year-old in the UK in 2008 (the latest figures available) was 0.7. This was the joint best rating that year. The last figure reported by the OECD for the US, in 2004, was 1.3 - when the UK also got 0.7. The UK's decay and replacement rates started falling below those of the US during the mid-1990s. Going back to 1963, the UK rate was as high as 5.6.

Personally, I think the only person who has a right to jump on a KKK member to shield them from harm is someone that they have expressed hatred towards. I know the story of Keshia Thomas, but if a white guy had done the same thing, then quite frankly they would have deserved to get their rear end beat alongside the skinhead. Its essentially saying that you have decided that their words and actions are not worth them getting the hit kicked out of them to a group of people who are more directly affected by it.

cant cook creole bream posted:I really like the fact that Zelda is kind of obnoxious as a person. It turns the story from a Mary Sue who is always correct and everyone should listen to, to a slice of life story of a somewhat annoying, but sort of realistic dork. I agree, and it's grown on me quite a bit. I wish it translated better.
