Racism isn't just a difference of opinion.


We just need a safe space for Luciom to argue that “Jews will not replace us” isn’t dangerous rhetoric


Well, when you prescribe to replacement theory it isn't dangerous

Racism isn't just a difference of opinion.

I think it is just a difference of opinion. Just like people who prefer vanilla ice cream over chocolate ice cream. They have their reasons for it. Does it make them a necessarily bad person? Maybe they are more closed minded than they should be. I personally judge people on an individual basis. Some people judge others strictly on the color of their skin. You can't deny that certain races and religions have certain stereotypes. Lumping all people of a certain race into these stereotypes is a very limiting and closed minded. Does it make these people bad though?

Bad is as bad does. If you hurt somebody because the color of their skin that is bad. If you refuse to hire someone just because of their race that's bad. If somebody wants to think bad thoughts about certain groups of people let them. I think being overly concerned about "racism" is a waste of time. People are gonna do what they do and think what they think.

You are wrong, and I frankly don't care what you think.

When I saw the tiki torch guy's chanting this I thought they looked like idiots. I don't get the same vibe from Luciom.


Luciom is much more dangeorus. I concur.

No kidding. I'm thankful for posts like that actually because they serve as a good reminder that we really do have the high ground.

What did I get wrong in my post?

Who's we and who put you on this "high ground"? Do you not like to speak the truth? Do you enjoy having to go along with what the other "we" people are thinking or be cancelled?

Also, what exactly is wrong with my post?


by mongidig

Who's we

Anyone on the opposite side from you.

and who put you on this "high ground"?

You did by being a horrific person.

What exactly makes me "horrific"?

I'd rather put out a campfire with my gasoline doused face than talk to you anymore.

That's weird! I'd rather talk to you than put out a campfire with my gasoline doused face.

Absolutely nothing, love. Be who you are.



I was wondering who on earth "liked" this post, but the identity of the mystery poster was soon revealed. Mong, do you also enjoy taking in the fragrant aroma of your own farts?

I don’t take differences of opinion on food to be the same as differences of opinion on morality, but even if I did I still don’t see the strength of the argument. Obviously someone’s difference of opinion on food isn’t the same effect as disliking certain races, at least that seems obvious to me absent a defeater. With food they can just appeal to certain factors out of their control, like upbringing or food sensitivities.

With racism, their appeal can be similar but it fails because there are actual arguments that can be made over whatever racist belief that you have. Meanwhile I can’t present any real argument that you should stop eating chocolate ice cream or something.

What I wrote at the time was that it was far less dangerous to american jews to have a few ******s chanting that, which isn't dangerous if those chanting have 0 political power and are 0.01% of the population ,than to have millions of pro Hamas supporters in America with allies at the top of important institutions like colleges, and you banned me for that saying that was antisemitism.

You can bring the post up so others can judge who is reporting the incident correctly between the two of us.

Idiots with different opinions? Or did you see racists?

You've officially had your 'bro' privileges revoked.

You don't understand how anti semitism affects others.

You're very lucky coordi is mod.

you can disagree on the risk assessment but what the hell do you mean here? I understand different groups of antisemites as all other forms of racism can have different impact and present different levels of danger.

you can disagree that a more numerous group of antisemites with more institutional power is more dangerous, but you should explain why, instead of attacking me


Browser,

Report please hopefully you're ok.

Er, no you didn't. You joined in with the celebrations when one of them killed the protestor.
