It is absurd when you got actual history and proof of violence as a pretty drat good deterrent in keeping nazis at bay.

A dearth of street violence against literal Nazis in Weimar Germany was not what was responsible for them rising to power. It's mind boggling to me that a movement styling itself after an anti-Nazi group that failed in stopping the Nazis have somehow managed to spread this historical revisionism around, but here we are.

You can't really compare the two as analogous when what happened in Wedding was not widely publicized across the country and world (because it was 1927), making it basically impossible for the Nazis to twist the events in Chartlottesville in their favor with propaganda tactics. Cville was, in the end, not a success for them, because they exposed themselves.

Your argument that responding to fascist violence with violence only gains them sympathy requires further examination. The majority of citizens of the Weimar Republic believed the anti-fascists to consist of intellectuals, communists, socialists, anarchists and Jews - the same groups they claimed stabbed Germany in the back, causing its defeat in WWI. To which side would they be sympathetic? Also the Nazis kind of exposed themselves thanks to the internet, so uh no antifa is not a nazi tool you tool.

This isn't about the specific incident, it's about this notion that street violence needs to be upped until Nazism is abolished. That's not by far a sensible lesson from the rise of the literal Nazi party, even though it is claimed to be.

No, my argument is that Weimar Germany didn't become Nazi Germany because there weren't enough anti-Nazi street fights, which is the argument used to justify masked vigilantes beating up Nazis (and a week ago, non-Nazi right-wingers).

Hbomb could do a whole series on Crowder alone, he's my favorite american social regressive crazy guy. His highlights include:

-dressing as a woman ala bugs bunny and wandering around going "DO I MAKE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE" to prove bathroom bans are good

-doing sweet prank vids where he picks up day laborers, drives a bit, then shouts "I'M GONNA CALL ICE ON YOU MOTHERFUCKERS NO JOBS" while they run out of his car

-constantly squealing impotently about ~degrading social values~

-bragging about being married

-posing in EVERY PICTURE with the same hands clasped pose that makes sure you see his wedding ring

-hanging out with a dude called "Not Gay Jared" and selling a shirt that literally just says "not gay"

-no seriously peep his rogue's gallery of just the most worthless humans https://www.louderwithcrowder.com/2015-meet-the-louder-with-crowder-team-who-made-it-possible/

-this is also a shirt he sells

-when going on one of his many rants about how he doesn't even WANT to gently caress feminists he self owned in the greatest way

-he's my favorite crazy person, he's just so deeply and genuinely mentally hosed up. I don't even think it's some dumb 'lol closet case' thing I think he has genuine deep seated issues with sexuality and he's working them out in public in the worst ways.

Not sure what that says about the state of things when I pick up on the tone rather than the horribly racist and xenophobic trash coming out of these peoples' mouth. It's quite unfortunate that you become desensitized to this crap. At least you can say that it may be an indicator as to who really believes this crap and who regurgitates it cynically to get a viewer-base.

The big divide is actually polite vs impolite. The Sargons and Chris Ray Guns are racists in the sense that matters: they encourage racism. They simply believe that there are thing so rude or unpopular that they refuse to say them, but they're morally identical to Richard Spencer and the chud who ran people over in Virginia in that they harm others and refuse to help.

My two favorite trivia bits about Crowder are 1) he's a washed up child actor who played a recurring character on the PBS show Arthur (a show that teaches kids how to be decent, non-Steven Crowder type human beings), and 2) fucker's actually Canadian and fled to the US to be be a hatemonger there because we don't put up with his ilk in Canada for very long. Seriously, ask Ezra Levant and Lauren Southern how well The Rebel's been working out since Charlottesville happened.

I think the thing that really drove home how fact-free the rationals are is when I got involved in a debate in youtube comments (yeah, I know) cuz I was in a mood and got tired of them saying there was no evidence for trans stuff. Posted a giant thing with like 10 sources consisting of news articles, scientific papers, meta reviews written for laypeople, and even a couple interviews with the author of couple of the studies that former John Hopkins guy from the American College of Pediatricians quoted in that anti-trans article that hit it big a few years ago saying that people (like said guy) were interpreting the studies to mean things they don't mean at all. I even cited some counter-evidence for transparency! I practically handed them some studies they could cherry pick as being "better" if they wanted even if the majority of evidence goes the other way!

I got this as one of the responses :eng99:



"What are studies? I believe in SCIENCE!"

Though looking at the comments on Hbomb, Shaun, and Contra's vids it seems like there are some people they're actually getting through to, so good job.

Kim Justice just put out an HOUR AND A HALF documentary on Heroes of Wrestling, perhaps the worst Pro Wrestling PPV of all time.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yBOisPxoBk

Even if you don't give a poo poo about wrestling you need to watch it purely due to the sheer amount of effort Kim puts into it. It still blows me away the insane amount of research and work Kim puts into her videos, it's madness.
