  • Alright fair enough. I agree it’s not complicated and anything to suggest otherwise appears to be Nazi apologia. But hear me out: Its unfortunately not so obvious to a lot of people. My own father falls for conservative extremist propaganda because pumping someone with hate makes them forget to think critically. How easy is it to convince someone to hate a group of people whom they have had no interaction with? Apparently very easy if you are a billionaire controlling the media.

    Unfortunately we can’t stop genocide without convincing people its happening. And we can’t convince people out of the mindspace they put themselves in.



  • Then you’re a fool who doesn’t know what it takes to win other people over. Simply label people and move on. Then later ask “why is everywhere turning conservative/fascist?”. That’s your mode of operation.

    Because you have to actually put effort into listening and discern other people’s intentions.

    Your attempt to create a safer space is pointless as you seem to give up at the slightest sign of resistance. You don’t even slow down before you start accusing people of being Nazis. Easy shortcut to avoid spending mental energy. But not conducive to winning over people.


  • I am of the opinion genocide is bad. And I acknowledge In defense of you, the parent comment looks like detracting from the conversation of the evils Israel is committing.

    So I agree that you should call out people trying to detract from the conversation. Although I should warn you that you should be precise in this instead of just calling people facists as: 1. You may come to realize people don’t default to introspection when you shout at them… only dig their heels deeper. 2 A lot of people are unfortunately too selfish to consider the wellbeing of others. This can come out as indifference or fascist apologia.
