Comment on Badge of Honor
ACindyDerg@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 weeks agoIf you switch sides on moral issues like that, you are amoral. If 11 people are sitting at a table making pleasant conversation with a nazi, there are 12 nazis at the table. I hope you don’t take it that far, but like… Yeah

You can have conversations with ppl without becoming what they are. Just because there are conflicting views between two people doesn’t mean they cannot just agree to disagree, so your argument that if 11 people are having a pleasant conversation with a Nazi, they are automatically Nazis are false logic. Here’s your logic: if you have a pleasant conversation with a Nazi, then you are a Nazi. Don’t you see the flaw with that logic? I can talk to a Nazi, have a pleasant conversation about baseball and not be a Nazi. Why I am having the conversation after knowing they are a Nazi is beyond the point. I know how to separate people from opinions. Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one but no one wants to know about it. Icare about facts and association isn’t the same as assimilation.

The fact that you are tolerating them being a nazi is the problem. Germans did not stop being nazis after losing WW2, they just were not allowed to express that so their children never got exposed to it. People didn’t just stop being racist, they got shamed out of expressing it, so now we don’t accept their views. Do not tolerate intolerable beliefs. If you are having a pleasant conversation about baseball with them while they are still spewing hateful beliefs, you are failing to punish them, allowing them to keep being a nazi without shame.
