Fox News was on satellite in Britain for more than 15 years.

Also, you have TalkTV and GB News now.

But England literally has a King

I wrote a thing and then thought, you know what? It’s not worth it. We’re strangers that know literally nothing about each other, so what’s the point? I’m an anti fascist and I know that. If that’s the side that you’re also on, then we are on the same side. I don’t know what else to say

It wasn’t a joke?

And the only thing I want people to think about when it comes to Nazis is stopping them.

I genuinely just don’t have the energy to go around and around in the same argument for literally years. So when I see somebody say something like (and I’m paraphrasing here) “If animals can’t do evil then does that mean that dumb Nazis can’t be evil too!?”, it seems like the kind of gotcha moment that is built on a foundation of watching a lot of YouTube videos and then deciding that that’s your whole personality.

Maybe the naturalistic argument your pet peeve, but it doesn’t really change the point.

So in case you haven’t been reading what I’ve been trying to lay out, it’s this: Nazis are human beings. Not all human beings deserve your sympathy. In fact, some of them deserve your hatred. Nazis are amongst that group. If you can’t realize that, then you are missing a HUGE thing about the capacity for great evil (and great good) that human beings have.

It’s like when somebody call a serial killer a “monster”. It’s like, “No, monsters aren’t real. That’s a made up bed time story thing. That serial killer is a human being working within the capacities of a human being”.

An “Internet philosopher” is a particular type of person. If you’re serious about ending fascism, then our petty little back and forth will not matter when it really comes down to it, then right?

Because, historically, dehumanization comes in handy when it comes to elimination, but not so helpful when it comes to the part that comes next. It seems like an excuse to not feel guilty for killing, and that seems like a dark path to go down.

Ugh 🙄 internet “philosophers”. I’ll see you in the front lines, dude. We’ll have a good laugh about how unnecessary this argument was once we’re there

I have no desire to reason with Nazis, I believe the only kind of good Nazi is a dead Nazi, and I genuinely believe it is my moral duty to punch a Nazi on site. But I don’t have to pretend their not human to do that. Evil is a human thing. No other animal does that. You have to recognize it for what it is and root it out. Calling them not human doesn’t help anything.

Nazis are actual real people. It doesn’t do anybody any good to deny that human beings are capable of great evil. It only seeks to further distance ourselves from our shared history of violence and doom us to repeat it. Talk like that is exactly what leads to Nazis in the first place

I like your edit. That’s something that SHOULD be criticized.

We also briefly renamed French Fries to Freedom Fries. Nobody could be bothered to learn that they were invented in BELGIUM

Honestly, that’s just a very responsible thing to do. Good for you

I didn’t say that she deserves a statue. She’s a horrible person. I said that you don’t have to moralize. Her being a woman that “spread her legs”, as you put it, has NOTHING to do with any of this. It’s just a thing you thought would be a low-hanging insult.

Yes, we know…

I would imagine it’s because it hasn’t been reported on in the U.S.

Gross slut shaming vibes. You can criticize someone without moralizing, you know?

If you enter at 6 o’clock and exit again at 6 o’clock, you have travelled 360° which is a full loop.

Making a full loop is called a U-Turn and they are absolutely permitted.

ABSOLUTELY. And that first movie was before the nuclear war, so it’s literally all about an energy crisis. People feel so comfortable in their modern world that they seem to not be able to imagine just how close to losing it all they are

You joke, but if you met anybody that lives in Syria about a decade ago, they would tell you this is exactly what it looks like. It’s what it looked like for people about a year and a half ago in Palestine, and it’s what it looked like to Soviet citizens in 1989. So keep making jokes, don’t believe it, whatever. But it IS happening
