I don't think a naked bike ride is gonna kill them.

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Probably do more to stop them than making friends with them would.

Greetings! You have been linked here because at some point, you gave a really shitty take on Daryl Davis by suggesting something along the lines of the idea that pacifism and dialogue are more effective tools in fighting racism than direct action, and using Davis as proof. This thread exists to explain why your take is so shitty.

To be clear, nobody thinks Daryl Davis has bad intents. But he does more harm than good. Let's look at a number of reasons why...

Ah yes, the guy who single-handedly peacefully ended WW2 by befriending all of the nazis and convincing them to stop their war/genocide.

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca -2 points 2 weeks ago

Why are you discrediting a person that I am very confident has had more of a positive effect than you have? Why are you issuing purity tests?

Also, link us your Wikipedia page

My uncle is a Republican, always has been. His views have only become truly toxic since Obama was elected and a propaganda/hate machine that had been slowly building momentum dropped a gear and went over the horizon. So for less than a 5th of his life he has been an asshole on Facebook and voted Republican and you think he and everyone like him, in the entire country, needs to be exterminated?

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If when somebody goes "Kill nazis!" and your response is "Oh no, not my uncle!"

Then yes.

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca -4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I am saying that your hyperbole is including people like my uncle you nonce, and it's dangerous. We need to DeNazify, not exterminate. If you're lucky enough to feel otherwise, congratulations I guess, either your family is "pure" or you're lonely as fuck

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

You know what the standard way of de-nazification is, don't you?

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca -4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

You're all so desperate for violence

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

Just ask your uncle who he's okay with removing.

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca -4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Why? Why not try to avoid violence as much as possible?

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 4 points 2 weeks ago

Why won't everybody just leave the bully alone! He's only perpetrating violence on a massive scale! Why would you want to defend yourself, your families, your fellow citizens! Lay down and take it! Pwease!?

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

People like you tolerate them to the point where they can do their nazi shit out in the open. You're part of the problem too. "Mah famerly!" fuck off.

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca -4 points 2 weeks ago

You don't know fuck all about me, and making assumptions like you are is ugly as fuck.

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca -5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

"people like you" is Nazi talk brother

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 4 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

"No u" isn't as effective as you might imagine. I'm on the side of kill nazis. You can't muddy that water.

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca -3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I am also on the side of "Kill Nazis"

The debate is who qualifies, and you are being very extreme.

Do we exterminate a third of the country?

If that's what you believe, say "We should exterminate a third of the country"

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

"I'm totally on your side!" Argues against the extermination of nazis

Maybe I didn't say it loud enough. Fuck. Off.

"sorry but unless you have a wiki and a 40 point plan, no action can be taken!"

"Oh but they just don't understand that their actions are leading to extermination camps and genocides!"

Willful ignorance. And people like you giving them the benefit of the doubt at every turn.

FUCK OFF!

If a third of the country are acting like nazis, then yes a third of them deserve what they get when the hammer of justice falls.

Keep on debating. Super useful. Goddamned apologist.

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca -4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

WHAT. IS. YOUR. PLAN.

Say your willing to line up 30% of your countrymen to die.

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 3 points 2 weeks ago

I don't owe you shit apologist.

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca -4 points 2 weeks ago

What is your plan for all of the otherwise non radical citizens that have been so soaked in propaganda that they believe what Fox tells them? Do you have a plan?

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca -4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

And reducing my argument to "No U" is infantilizing and really just a poor insult. It adds nothing to simply accuse someone of a logical fallacy and give no context to the accusation.
