It calls for the preservation of an in-group by the extermination of an out-group.

I said this:

Fascists deserve fascism, but they deserve to be the victims of it.

You’re twisting my words and making fallacious arguments. This conversation is over. Feel free to write another novela, but I’m done reading.

That would be relevant if it was a weapon.

Hard disagree. You’re making an invalid slippery slope argument. Eliminating fascists is self-defense. Eliminating other groups is not and therefore not comparable. The problem with fascists isn’t that they kill people; it’s that they systematically target out groups for elimination without regard to whether they are dangerous—and in fact they tend to target the least dangerous people first.

Also now that I think about it, eliminating fascists was your idea. I think that if they were to be eliminated, they would deserve it, but I wasn’t actually advocating it. What they need is to be kept far away from any kind of power or influence.

I’m pretty sure their actual justification is that turning the United States into a dictatorship will really own the libs.

Something something paradox of tolerance.

Christ you’re obnoxious.

Fascists deserve fascism, but they deserve to be the victims of it.

I didn’t care what the fuck other people deserve. I can’t control how other people act, but I’ll have to live with the same outcome as them.

Quit trying to justify the unjustifiable.

And yet you can still buy phones with headphone jacks. Because there is demand for them. The reason you didn’t see many is because the demand is a lot less than what Lemmy users would have you believe.

I found 8 brands of DVD±R discs—none of them Sony—before I stopped counting. If you think one company stopping production is going to stop people from using physical media, or that demand hasn’t been falling for years, YOU are the one who’s badly out of touch.

Let me spell it out for you: as long as there is demand, someone will find a way to make money filling it. No company, no matter how evil it is, can remove a product category from the market just by leaving the market. Suggesting that a company choosing to stop making a commodity product is an attempt to prevent you from having access to said product is nonsense no matter what company and product you’re talking about, because such a plan could never work.

Or… they’re stopping production because there’s very little demand. Nah, that can’t be it.

Damn, that’s some Qanon-level shit.

I think it means something similar to YOLO.

Seems to me it’s mostly complaining about Google.

Given the current Tribunal of Six, overturning Citizens United would likely involve a ruling that only corporations can vote.

Yeah but cops don’t care about the law.

I want the rich to not be rich anymore, not for them to be killed. And I definitely don’t want children of rich people to be abused, because child abuse is bad.

They weren’t elected.

So they can put what drugs they want in their own body?

Is that supposed to be a gotcha?

Ah yes, “both sides”!
