Jumping back here to say that
we need to ALWAYS remember the sheer depravity
otherhuman beings are capable of.Is the only thing I’m saying
- Comment on And nothing of value was lost 2 weeks ago:
Except I’m not. My scope has been very limited to the dehumanization aspect. But otherwise I’m done with you arguing in bad faith
- Comment on And nothing of value was lost 2 weeks ago:
My point is less about what rights they might deserve, and more about staying informed and vigilant of the ideological capacities of human beings, including yourself.
- Comment on And nothing of value was lost 2 weeks ago:
This entire conversation is on a post about the death of a nazi. “the horrible ideology took a loss” sure sounds like “the horrible ideology” of nazism “took a loss” of the death of one of their own.
To go back to the point I was making in that comment, where did I say anything about celebration?
- Comment on And nothing of value was lost 2 weeks ago:
Same
- Comment on And nothing of value was lost 2 weeks ago:
You need to work on your reading comprehension. I have said absolutely nothing about whether or not to celebrate the death of a nazi, neither does the paradox of tolerance.
- Comment on And nothing of value was lost 2 weeks ago:
I’m not trying to defend them. I’m trying to point out that you’re not defending yourself from that idea. In a world where all the nazis have been genocided, that is a world that accepts genocide as a reasonable solution. That world will commit another genocide and sooner than you might think. Especially when you consider that it didn’t start with nazism. There were confederates before them and there are zionists after them. If you accept one genocide then any other just has to find the right justifications. Recognizing human susceptibility to that idea is the first step in protecting yourself from it. If we fail to do so, the cycle will never end.

You’re arguing against things I did not say nor imply. I have made no argument here against self defense nor for civility.
I am abiding the paradox of tolerance by not tolerating dehumanizing rhetoric. Because I believe that rhetoric enables fascism.
- Comment on And nothing of value was lost 2 weeks ago:
The ability to strip away the title of “human being” is exactly what they are arguing for. You just have different criteria.
- Comment on And nothing of value was lost 2 weeks ago:
I’m not saying you have to treat them with kindness. I am saying you have to reckon with the fact that they are still human. Or you will be doomed to follow the same path.
- Comment on And nothing of value was lost 2 weeks ago:
I believe I called them fuckheads so I don’t seem to have a problem with ridicule. My point of contention is in the reply tweet of “no human being was harmed”. I’m not trying to defend the thoughts or actions of these people, I’m just saying we have to recognize that they are people. I propose building a better world, proving those ideas wrong, and defending ourselves when necessary.

controversial opinion
These nazi racist fuckheads are still human beings. As unfortunate as it may be and as implausible it might seem, any of us are capable of becoming or raising someone to become entrenched in a bad and hateful ideology. Dehumanizing them doesn’t stop their ideas from spreading. In fact, a big part of their ideology is the dehumanization of different groups of people. So please don’t encourage that practice.

I think you’re mixing up Gen x and Gen z. The video states that it was people who were in their 20s in the 90s. That’s mostly gen x

TL;DW Lead makes you lose intelligence and your life more difficult. Gen X got the worst of it. And yes it’s backed up with research and was largely caused by capitalism.
