SHY NUDIST GRRL: Feb 15, 2011; 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.

The guy who said we should seriously consider whether or not we need the "black race" is scared to leave his home to promote his ideology. Yep, gonna say that's a good thing.

It must sting to see meme magic work against him

Also people should know who Spencer is so they know people like that exist. You can't solve a problem until you recognize it.

i think this might be more productive if we do a thought exercise: what would a modern-day organized uprising of neo-nazis in the united states look like, how would that work/get anywhere

It would look like the election we just had.

Like, you're really full of poo poo here. Boxing is not illegal, and street fighting is legal in many jurisdictions.

Also in others it's not legal to throw punches back if someone attacks you

Nobody should be punched for mere speech, no matter how much you dislike it.

Oh no we think he should be punched whether he says it or not.

I think a fallacy in US society that a lot of people(especially white liberals and conservatives) have bought into is this notion that all acts of violence are equally wrong. This idea is something you often see on TV and in movies.

Punching a person because they're gay and punching a person because they're a nazi are not the same thing. The reasons why you're doing something are just as important as the thing you're doing.

The fallacy is that all opinions are valid. That's what's being argued in the thread. That people are entitled to want to tear down the pillars of our society while hiding behind them.

The whole point of nazism/fascism is that life is eternal conflict and that only a state which exercises systemic violence for its own gain can succeed.

If you don't like violence, you should dislike nazism more. It requires and positively endorses not just isolated bouts of violence, but systematic violence (like Spencer calling for black genocide).

Yeah. These people only respect violence. Fretting over treating them with the civility they seek to destroy is a waste of time.

"If we can't discuss ethnocide as a legitimate political option we are no longer a free country" - people who would never be on the receiving end of it

That's what they think. They're all that priest with the famous quote about not speaking up and then no one spoke up for him

Is a pro-life bomber justified in bombing an abortion clinic because, in their eyes, a baby holocaust is happening?

That one is complicated.

Okay now I can punch nazis
