They’re not addressing anything. They’re telling the person to shut up.
I have no problem with what this person said. I found what they said valuable. I don’t think anyone should be going around telling others they can’t speak because they don’t match some standard the policer thinks should apply to speech.
One important lesson of the Nazi rise to power and the Holocaust is that Nazis characterized their enemies as disgusting rather than scary.
Disgust is a different feeling than fear, and it leads to different responses. Hitler used imagery of infection and disease to describe not only problems in society but eventually groups as well. This talk of filth and infestation laid the emotional groundwork for the “purge” solution.
If we want to avoid another Holocaust, we need to be wary of analogies like rot, cancer, infection for describing people and points of view.
The Nazis are only the yardstick of evil by convention. Their crimes exist in an enormous set of savage acts including genocides and invasions that suffuses history.
The lesson “of the Nazis” needs to be that the Nazis are not unique in history, nor are they the only sort of people who commit such acts.
You don’t speak for me.
I grew up in a culture where people spoke vulgarly and it was fucking fine. Just piss off with your thin skin and let the rest of us talk. Go nuzzle up to whatever sweetness you need from speech on your own, and let the rest of us be.
Also I shouldn’t have to poop
You’re not responsible for their self development. This is a morale thing.
Trust me it’s easier to pick yourself up for the whole team than it is for just yourself.
Maybe next time you ride the bus, imagine that you’re a background character in someone else’s struggle, and how you hold yourself will be absorbed by their subconscious. Maybe just by holding yourself the right way, you can make everyone on the bus just slightly more ready for the day.
Yes but we also avoid problems that other countries with gun bans have, such as massacres of civilians by military and police.
It’s sort of a balancing act you see.
I always point to the fact that women can carry weapons in our society, yet mostly choose not to.
This makes me suspicious that safety is the actual issue.
What is dead may never die
It wasn’t the comment that lacked nuance; just your reading.
All the stuff you added went without saying.
It’s tule 10. Don’t mess with kids when they’re gazing at Goatse
Turns out liquids of unusual viscosity is an excellent heuristic for things you shouldn’t put in your mouth.
And homeless people
Just say 11 months damn
Me tossing leftovers in the trash does not in any way interfere with hungry people getting food.
Like, if there was some other community where I could go and just sing songs with my neighbors, church would lose like 80% of its appeal to me.
Interesting point
Guess we’ll never know unless someone wastes the energy to find out.
