No, you see, Display [email protected] is the one true interpreter of the desires of all people. We should just let them pick every government since clearly they know best.

Is your point that you’re an asshole, because that’s the only thing you’ve managed to prove
you’re just insane
Wow, who would have guessed the social darwinism defender was ableist
Had they been forced to, that would simply be slavery.
Having a mutual obligation to care for others in your community is exactly the same as being rounded up at gunpoint, ripped from your homeland, shipped to a field or a mine halfway across the world, and forced to toil all day every day for barely enough to survive on until you inevitably succumb to the horrible conditions inflicted upon you
It is difficult for me to imagine what “personal liberty” is enjoyed by an unemployed person, who goes about hungry, and cannot find employment. Real liberty can exist only where exploitation has been abolished, where there is no oppression of some by others, where there is no unemployment and poverty, where a man is not haunted by the fear of being tomorrow deprived of work, of home and of bread. Only in such a society is real, and not paper, personal and every other liberty possible.
-J. Stalin
If it walks like a liberal and talks like a liberal, it’s a liberal.
Fuck off genocide apologist
That’s about the level of response I’d expect from a lib to inconvenient facts
What if the wheels fell off every single car in the world at the same time?
What if pens got hot?
If you’re fascist and antifascists come for you, you have a choice. You can give it up. You can go renounce what you said. You could just go on with the rest of your life and stop turning up at fascist rallies. Anti fascists probably aren’t going to buy you a pint and be your best friend but they’ll move on. But if you’re a person of color, if you’re trans, or a person with a disability or gay or Jewish, and fascists come for you, there is nothing you can do to make them happy except stop existing. If you’re a political enemy of antifa, you can become a friend. If you’re a political enemy of fascism, either they lose or you die.

I. NO INVESTIGATION, NO RIGHT TO SPEAK
Unless you have investigated a problem, you will be deprived of the right to speak on it. Isn’t that too harsh? Not in the least. When you have not probed into a problem, into the present facts and its past history, and know nothing of its essentials, whatever you say about it will undoubtedly be nonsense. Talking nonsense solves no problems, as everyone knows, so why is it unjust to deprive you of the right to speak? Quite a few comrades always keep their eyes shut and talk nonsense, and for a Communist that is disgraceful. How can a Communist keep his eyes shut and talk nonsense?
It won’ t do!
It won’t do!
You must investigate!
You must not talk nonsense!
Hey, what happened at Standing Rock?
- It’s a paradox because if you suppress other opinions you yourself become intolerant.
So? People should be intolerant of some things. No decent society would tolerate Nazis.
as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be most unwise.
“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.” -Jean-Paul Sartre
As the saying goes, history doesn’t repeat, but it often rhymes.
Nerd culture was always fairly reactionary, all things considered.
Reminder that Dungeons and Dragons creator E. Gary Gygax justified lawful good characters killing the babies of races listed as evil by quoting
an American colonizer giving his reason for pursuing the total extermination of American Indians.
but removing them from an online space doesn’t make that person disappear or make them less racist, if anything it’ll make them hide their racism better. Isn’t that more dangerous?
Bigots are cowards at heart, and largely they will act on their feelings only to the extent that they believe they have social license to do so. Scared bigots are less dangerous than emboldened bigots.
Nazism wasn’t beaten in WW2, it was internationalized
