As someone who stands up equally for everyone. My experience on reddit has never been a good one. We can discuss multiple issues at the same time. You don’t have to completely dismiss one issue and belittle anyone it affects because another issue exists and is “worse.”
Kang: Boy, I sure do like that Reddit has lots of pointless arguments, but I just wish we could bring that to Lemmy too. I know Lemmy has a certain number already, but I just wish there was some way to instigate them arbitrarily
Kodos: Comin right up! Watch this
It’s a water test. How shit are the people here too?
Can definitely say that Reddit made me hate straight men, but a big part of that was the kind of straight men that Reddit attracts
Maybe if some of them weren’t constantly attacked by hypocritical bigots they’d not be ground down into complete assholes over the years. Most of the horrible ones were banned years ago. Now you have a lot of the other side of that problem that reddit refuses to take care of.
Maybe if men didn’t spend centuries treating women as subhuman…
Right, all those men alive today being blamed for things they didn’t do. Yeah, that’s totally how we “win” The cycle has to break some day and it’s too bad you’d rather continue it instead.
Well, I’m off Reddit now
Equally for everyone
Do you think nazis deserve to have their views heard?
How else do you teach the next generation to not repeat the mistakes of generations prior? I see this place has just as much a problem with people putting words in others’ mouths too. Good job, grow up, kiddo.
You made a statement about your own views. I held those views up to the reality of life. Its up to you to defend or change those views.
As someone who stands up equally for everyone.
You: “I’m gonna make this about da NAZIS!”
Everyone else: “Yes, humans deserve equality regardless of gender, sex, orientation, color, or birth!”
I’ll take the bait.
I am going to go out on a limb here and assume that by “Nazi” you mean people who are not politically left, but I will address it as if you meant actual Nazis.
I think anyone has the right to choose to believe whatever they want, even if that means they believe things that are undoubtedly wrong, such as Nazi beliefs. That of course does not absolve them of the consequences of laws they might violate. Certainly such a person would have the right to tell other people about what they believe, but this would be counterbalanced by other people having the right to just not listen to them. If someone else has the right to speak that doesn’t mean you are required to listen to them, you could choose to just walk away entirely.
If you think about smoking a cigarette, I would imagine you would agree that smoking is very, very bad for your health. However, anyone that wants to has the right to smoke. But if they smoke in an area that is designated a “no smoking area,” then they would be required to leave. Likewise if a person wants to believe Nazi ideals, as much as I personally believe that would be a very bad choice, they have the right to choose to be wrong. However, if they act upon their beliefs which leads to them breaking laws, then they should be held accountable for that. I am not an expert in Nazi beliefs or ideals, but I would imagine that them taking action on their beliefs would very likely break laws in pretty much every country. And rightfully so, people should not be allowed to just say one race is superior or the only one deserving of living and then actually take action on that. I may be wrong but I think it is illegal to have Nazi beliefs in Germany? In which case the law applies and if someone was provably holding such beliefs where it is indeed illegal, then they would absolutely deserve whatever the legal punishment is. To my knowledge, simply believing Nazi beliefs is not illegal in the USA. It might be racist and stupid, but not illegal.
The standard “WhUt AbOuT dA nAzIs” comment didn’t deserve that much thought. The water test failed, the people here as just as shit as reddit. You can’t discuss anything honestly with dishonest people. The comment itself is literally the epitome of bad faith.
I bet money on you feeling right at home in conservative communities
You’ll easily lose. I like my drag and gay friends and my queer family. You can keep your bigotry to yourself.
Regardless of if it was worth it to you or not, they asked a question and I had the right to express my viewpoint on it. They don’t have to listen, of course, its their right not to if they don’t want to.
But personally I don’t think the question was “bad faith” in comparison to other questions I have seen elsewhere on Lemmy or Reddit.
