Why is the assumption that the nazi movement will dwindle if they are allowed to do whatever they want with no opposition and have peaceful fun rallies where they all get together and do their happy little tiki-torch marches without anyone punching them and listen to inspiring speeches about protecting the future of white children or whatever and make plans to do it again next month because it was such a wonderful weekend

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

You can't discount that there's a hint of irony in the skit. But taken as a whole, it's really sad and shameful.

Yeah my problem is less with Fey or the skit itself and more with the people reacting to it as "the sanest response of all" or "a grassroots movement", like it will accomplish anything or is worthy of particular praise

It's a coping mechanism for bewildered middle-aged white people and should be treated as such

how is that a better idea than forcing them underground because they fear for their own safety

someone explain to me how this cake thing is actually a good strategic move rather than a coping mechanism for bewildered middle-aged white people

the assumption is that racism is essentially dead and the Nazis are just a pathetically tiny group of inferiors and idiots futilely flailing against our society's unstoppable and irresistible march toward progress, and that the Nazis are powerless people who wouldn't ever dare do anything more drastic than trade white supremacist stories and slogans over lunch. additionally, they believe there is near-universal agreement in American society that racism is bad, so they're not worried about the Nazis gathering followers because they're convinced that their speeches will fail in the ~marketplace of ideas~ because nearly all Americans will see the white supremacist rhetoric and immediately reject it

of course, that doesn't exactly hold up given the events of the last few months, but there's plenty of liberals defiantly ignoring all evidence to the contrary and continuing to insist that the white supremacists are a disgusting but ultimately harmless group who will never do anything more than spout vile rhetoric that all listeners will instantly reject and dismiss because racism is bad and Americans are good

in that delusional world they live in, there's absolutely no point in opposing Nazism because the Nazis are so completely helpless and powerless that they'd just fade into effective nothingness if everyone ignored them. also, violence might damage property and might eventually be turned against the ruling classes, both major no-nos in liberal thought!

people are just in denial about the fact that racism is still around and was never really dead like the liberal world pretended

tbh this just highlights that a lot of "comedy" shows that are left-of-center aren't that far from the left-wing equivalent of talk radio. Since when is "... EMAILS" a "joke" of higher caliber than you'd find in a C-SPAM thread?

also sheesh Tina Fey, if you kept up on the news, you'd know you could have your cake and protest too :rolleyes:



im okay with tina eating cake and can understand why the skit was going the way it was, but the execution was just really ill timed especially when Americans are actually on edge because idk, maybe we have a loving nazi sympathizer in the highest office in land lmao

im not okay with her telling people to not do anything when there's a domestic terrorism problem that people need to yell at a bunch of clowns to quash the demagoguery that got them all loving incited in the worst places~
