I'm confused what's gone on, the only badness I'm aware of is that one time one of the editors was a bit of a weenie and some people took it bad.

Did something actually serious happen or is someone just upset over a miscommunication handled badly? I got real grumpy about one of those so I know it can be easy to get madangry.

people are mad that beer writes for them bc beer has a pretty notorious reputation for being a dumbass itt and making bad mod decisions, he has/had a job doing some lovely defense stuff, in retaliation for his being dumb/probing their friends a bunch of cspam/tgrs people started dragging him about that job across the forums, and in the end he was demodded and some of the people doing it got perma'd for doxxing him

It's shocking how many people think something can only be fascist if it calls for the extermination of the Jews specifically. Which reminds me...

I'm not sure if anyone will remember this but I once posted in this thread asking if a guy wearing a "Deutchland Uber Alles" t shirt with a reichsadle on it was a real sign of someone being a Nazi. My Jewish wife refused to help this guy at her place of work and her co-workers gave her endless poo poo for it. One of her co-workers is a "proud" American born German, who said this guy is also probably just a "Proud" German and that calling him a Nazi is racist.

Well the same guy keeps coming in and he started saying things like "I'm not anti-semetic I'm just saying I think there are too many Jews in the world." completely unprovoked. Like two of her coworkers admitted they were wrong and the rest just shut up about it. The "Proud" German co-worker didn't say anything about it and refuses to talk about it.

She's getting a new job soon because gently caress those people lol.

This was post was a little while back, but I just wanted to say that I remember this story, and you were right. We all loving knew. Good on you for not taking the path of least resistance.

I think there’s an ethical grey area in a lot of careers (working for a company that has major DoD contractors as customers, law enforcement, etc) that’s ultimately up to individual moral compasses to determine if they’re acceptable or not. For some careers though (weapons designer, some law careers, ICE/border patrol, lobbyist for fraught clients) I think the moral judgment is more straightforward.

I definitely think it’s a complicated, nuanced discussion that this thread is not exactly in the right state to discuss though.

I do want to note: Stephen Miller is a white nationalist and white supremacist.

He's still Jewish, he's just absolutely awful.

I bring this up because I'm Jewish and there's a thing that's been going around twitter declaring rear end in a top hat Christians to be "fake" Christians because they don't actually follow the tenets of their religion. And the thing is: they're still Christians! Real Christians!

They're just bad Christians.

And basically, this is one of my hot button issues, if y'all are Christian don't disown the assholes, deal with them. No one else gets to disown theirs, after all.

e: except the assholes' family, who can LITERALLY disown them, I mean, as in this case. basically disclaiming them as coreligionists is disclaiming responsibility for dealing with them.

I still only vaguely know what we're talking about, though, so mission accomplished, mod team, on preventing people from talking about the thread topic. You've successfully intimidated people into not posting clearly and permabanned and edited out the one post that I assume had some plain explanation in it.
