I believe the current preference is to exile posters instead of nuking them altogether. There may be rare exceptions to this, such as a poster who is extra deplorable.

Exactly.

Why waste a second trying to "convert" this human trash. Marginalize and move on. There's neo-fascists afoot... we got real work to do.

BTW: have you checked out augie_ over in the dying embers of Baja? Great Justice calls once again...

it was one legit crazy (schizo) guy who drove that car

should you bear the repercussions for the loonies on your side of the fence?


I know there was violence, and such should be met with violent resistance, but only as far as the original violence presents itself.

Taking aggressive action into your own hands is all I'm railing against here. "punch a nazi" etc

Stalin was in love with Hitler. It was a lot like Trump/Putin. Hitler of course thought Stalin was a mongrel fit only for slavery.

I do wonder how likely it is, if the statues were to be put into a museum and the context around them explained, that that context would be that the statues were put up as a PR campaign to strengthen Jim Crow, as a reaction to the Civil Rights Movement, and as a continuing reassurance of white dominance.

Somehow I don't think the states would have that kind of fortitude to face the real reason they were put up. Maybe I'm wrong.

Does the left ever get to use this excuse? You guys ran over one of us, now we're radicalized and we're gonna knock some statues down. Guess y'all should have been more polite to liberals.

I think the left is expected to sit quietly while the nation's unhinged animals march around town with torches and weapons and driving over people in their cars.

So, no, that argument never goes both ways.

it is not an excuse

it is a prediction


the nazi's aren't legitimized by being stoked

As I've written, while alt-right street thugs are highly visible manifestations of a deepening madness, MOST of the right are olds out in the hinterlands frothing about Merry Christmas and Kaepnernick just as much as they are upset about Confederate statues.

You need to talk to them in terms they understand. The way to talk to these people imo is to simply imply that Confederate statues were the 1880s versions of participation trophies. Statues of Robert E. Lee in town squares were given to losers to make them feel better about their losing effort. Real winners raise statues of Lincoln, Sherman, and United States Colored Troops brigades. Only millennial snowflakes would want a Participation Statue of Robert E Lee in their town.

We do. Ask a black person or a Muslim. "One legit crazy" is only ever true for white people.


Does this mean we get to at least talk about how we might go about rounding them all up for extermination, as that is meeting what they have presented like for like?

I'm not asking if you do. I'm asking if you should.

I'd rather we talk about how we might go about convincing them that non-whites really aren't so bad.

Noted REASONABLE CONSERVATIVE JD Vance currently ranting about the seriousness of left wing violence on Twitter. Every last one of these *******s. Every. Single. One.

Man, wouldn't it be a good idea if civil society organized to protect ourselves from these animals. Amazingly enough, it turns out that this kinda shiz has happened before. Peeps are way ahead of us here...

what about the nazi's who are celebrating it



and let's not forget the reason the daily stormer is without a home is because they mocked the woman who was killed

do you want to perpetuate the cycle or break it?

you break the cycle when you break the fascists

Dude, seriously, **** off. They knowingly and willingly took up the mantle of Nazi. Killing them on sight probably isn't the morally correct answer, but there isn't a single group of human beings who are more deserving.

You can treat the symptoms or you can treat the disease.

What is causing the animosity? They are humans, like it or not.


The "why now" inquiries I think are great places to start.

when they attempt to diminish the humanity of others our requirements to respect their humanity diminishes

**** them

Man, if only we had some historical examples that could inform us about how to break the cycle of Nazis.

How did the Church lose its grip on society?

Its ideological underpinnings were undermined en masse in the enlightenment era.

It is still around, to be sure, but it has no where near the hegemony it once enjoyed, and even its current influence continues to fade.

if it's still around, did it really break?

We had people thoughtfully engaging with white supremacists over in P7. Show me a convert.

I've learned from Call of Duty that when you shoot Nazis, they just keep coming back.

Since I introduced it, I don't think the answer is give Nazis head pats and endless patience and most of them are in fact privileged, ought to know better, are hopelessly irredeemable and deserve no sympathy.
