Comment on Finally an explanation
plyth@feddit.org 5 days agoYes, until your last sentence. It doesn’t matter which words you use but what you mean. If by telling you mean respectful conversations, then that’s the right approach. Then I would like to know why you think that it does not work.

Because you can spend your whole life
tellingsinging kumbaya, hugging, kissing, talking about your feelings and experices, traveling and learning about new cultures with nazis to instill a greater sense of humanity to get 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.There is an extra special version of my comment just for you.

Why? Fascism requires people to give up compassion. If fascists are approached with compassion, not in the kumbaya, hugging, kissing but the kumbaya, hugging, kissing way, how can they remain fascists?

You’d have to talk to a fucking psychologist to figure that one out.
But some people just decide that we need an all white, all Christians ethno-state, and everyone who doesn’t fit in that category can leave, or preferentially, not be allowed to leave and kept as slave labor. I’ve already spent too much of my own life trying to convince those people that such an arrangement harms everyone involved, and recognizing different cultures, backgrounds, traditions, and life experiences makes you a happier and better person.
And yet they still join up with the proudboys and loudly proclaim that white western chauvinists built the modern world while everyone was trying to drag them down and ruin it.
Being a nazi shitfuck is a choice. It’s a choice made in glaring defiance of human experiences that we all have every day. Unless they were literally raised in a nazi cult that forbade going outside the compound, then they’ve had a choice to stop being a nazi shitfuck every day, every hour, every minute, every second… And every time, they gleefully and repeatedly make the wrong choice.

What makes them tick? Why do they long for the ethno-state?
I don’t think that’s possible. People decide based on their experiences. Isn’t that the cause, some different experiences or better, lack of positive experiences?
