Most Conservatives aren’t Nazis.

Oh wait, that’s fucking stupid, and so are you.

I don’t generally start posts like this, but I feel the line above was my invitation:

Hey, dumbass. If you would settle down for one minute and think about the words that you’re looking at before you start flipping out on people, you might realize that

JOINING A NAZI GROUP IS THE ACTION OF AN INDIVIDUAL.

PARTICIPATING IN A NAZI ACTIVITIES ARE THE ACTIONS OF AN INDIVIDUAL.

SUPPORTING OR DONATING TO NAZI GROUPS IS AN ACTION OF AN INDIVIDUAL.

I’m talking about shit like: The Nazis were German, so Germans are Nazis. Israel is committing genocide, so Jews are evil. There was a trans school shooter, so trans people are dangerous.

Go take all your impotent energy and do something useful instead of blowing up on people who are on the same side as you, you stupid ignorant fuck.

I agree, if you mean: We should be able to criticize individuals for their own actions.

Not entire groups of people based on generalizations.

I started in a/s/l? chat rooms, but as social media has evolved, so has the discourse. I think I had to relearn every time I changed platforms.

Cat.

I don’t think it makes them uncomfortable, I think they just don’t get it.

Most of us are told to go to school to get the job you want, and philosopher really hasn’t been a high demand job since ancient Greece.

I don’t know about this “winning” theory.

Generally, people feel like they’ve won when they get the last word in. If you block someone, you don’t see their replies and assuming they do reply to your last comment, they would get the last word.

Personally, I block people when I realize there’s no point in continuing the conversation. I’m not trying to win an argument, I’m just over it and don’t want to interact with their toxicity.
