Comment on Finally an explanation
Bytemeister@lemmy.world 5 days agoBecause you can spend your whole life telling nazis to act like decent compassionate people, and you won’t change the mind of a single one. Don’t waste your life, waste them instead.

That’s true for everything. Nobody wants to be told. It takes human interaction to change a mind.

Telling isn’t a human interaction? Are you really going to use a semantics argument to support being nice to nazi shitfucks?

It’s not semantics. People have their own reasons to do things. They know that others reject them and informing them once more that somebody considers them wrong doesn’t change anything.
To change somebody, they need a new insight that makes them reevaluate their preferences.

The semantics part is arguing that “telling” doesn’t mean human interaction…
Extreme example: Human interaction? That could mean a fist-fight, the only difference between a nazi and a carebear is brotherly love!
That’s the gist of your argument; that I didn’t use the right words to describe in detail how try to instill some empathy in nazis.
