Comment on The left are officially full blown nazis now.
jimbolauski@lemm.ee 6 months agoNo true scottsman, I get it. Ambushing police officers and murdering them doesn’t count as hate, ambushing black nantionalists and murdering them doesn’t count as hate, pouring boiling water on a person doesn’t count as hate.

No, all of that definitely counts as hate.
It doesn’t count as black supremacist hate. So, yeah “no true scottsman”, but the entire argument hinges on what a nazi/white supremacist is. It’s not a fallacy in this case. Because there’s a difference between hate generally and a specific kind of hate.

Are you one of those liberals that thinks black people can’t be racists.
Ambushing white police officers certainly sounds racists, black nantionalism was part of the black panthers that’s certainly a racists movement.

You have to have power to be racist. It’s like newspeak. You change the definition of words to hit your agenda.

I’ve always wanted to ask a liberal about that. Would Hitler at the end of the war be racists? He didn’t have any power. Can a skin head in prison be racists? Can white people be racists in South Africa, Mexico?
