Re: Washington Post again

[diet_poison]

Ok, I mean, that's a whole nother discussion. I'm personally not a communist, but I know a lot of people who are, and they aren't authoritarians. (Some of them are but not the ones I'm friends with. We don't like authcoms lol.)

But the point is, firing back to "found the neo-Nazi" with "found the communist" is really really stupid because those two things aren't even close to morally equivalent or equivalent in terms of insults, and it kinda makes you look like a far-right-winger to even take that approach (a la "those damn commies!!").

Well, and that was kind of my point when I fired that back. Calling someone a Neo-Nazi just because they take the principle "I do not agree with the stupid, stupid shit you say, but I will defend to the death your right to be an ass in front of God and everyone" seriously is remarkably dumb on the face of it.

Also, yeah, Communism is horrible. It's lovely in theory, but it completely ignores human nature, always always always turns into authoritarianism, and ends up with millions of people dead and in Gulags.

Being sympathetic to neo-Nazis tends to make other people side-eye you, and it's not a total non-sequitur - on the other hand calling the person who said that a communist is totally out of left field and not at all equivalent. You're arguing about the end results of large-scale communism and I don't disagree, but 1. being a communist doesn't mean you support authoritarianism, it just means you believe in a different economic model; being a neo-Nazi literally means you support genocide, so the comparison is completely fucking asinine and 2. not all communists support implementing it on a large scale, and as such I think your analysis of it misses a lot.

Oh, for fuck's sake. I am not "sympathetic" to Neo-Nazis just because I think that, in America, they have the right to spout their stupid, stupid bullshit so the rest of us can point and laugh at them.

Maybe I should have said "Found the Stalinist" instead. Duly noted.

Re: Washington Post again

that still wouldn't make sense, but at least it's an insult.

nobody has threatened neo-Nazis' first amendment rights, so being really ardent about said rights as if they're under attack makes me roll my eyes at best. *shrug*
