Are you saying those Nazi events didn't happen?

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was making fun of you for citing the news as a source. Do you consider soundbites facts as well?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

I was citing the news to show events that happened yes. No claims about that news was made. Are you saying those Nazi events didn't happen?

You are ignoring my questions because you know the answer. It's why your talking about the validity of the source instead of the content of what I'm saying.

For shits this is the equivalent of me saying: here go to this site. OMG BRO ARE YOU SAYING NAZI's EXISTED? WTF. You're not even paying attention to the content bro!~ (Ignoring that I own and have an agenda for the site of course, the same way you're conveniently ignoring any agendas or the people spending money behind the spectacle you're pointing at.)

The only effort you put into the conversation was the bit about a Nazi morning. The rest was just you trying to put words in my mouth and then attacking my responses to that. So yeah, it's been a pleasure.

K. Obviously not true. But k.

Obviously not true

Are you trying to imply Nazis aren’t bigots and dangerous/toxic to society, and if not - why did you even ask this? What is the purpose of that question if not to imply that?

No, I was asking what the difference is between labels I see thrown around so much that they lack much meaning these days.

Obviously not true

What is the purpose of that question if not to imply that?

what is the purpose of saying I'm implying something?

Obviously not true

This was news, big news at the time. Pretending like you didn’t see it isn’t an excuse now, because you’ve now been shown it.

Again, I was able to guess you're linking to a billionaire sponsored propaganda machine and the only reason I later clicked it wasn't to look at the content it was to confirm you prefer to consume their regurgitated spectacle. There was no need to pretend not to see it or to even look at the content.

Obviously not true

Are you saying those Nazi events didn’t happen?

No I wasn't. I was saying you're referencing garbage and trying to make a point. Re: I even spun up just as bullshit of a website to make my point =>here

Obviously not true

You are ignoring my questions because you know the answer.

Obviously not true

It’s why your talking about the validity of the source instead of the content of what I’m saying.

Clearly you're an omnipotent omniscient being that knows what anonymous users on the internet know, think, and do so well that you can make their points for them and then continue to argue against those points like what your saying matters.

Have a bad one. Hope you get in a car accident.

Same thing I wish for any Nazis apologist.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Keep struggling. Maybe you'll come up with something intellectually appealing before you return to dust.

Edit: reverts back to putting labels on people to dismiss their complete lack of critical thinking and that they just remembered they're only copy/pasting other people's ideas who could have actually argued with me because they're trying to pretend they have any idea of what's going on around them

Again trying to manipulate the context and yet you have yet to address the reason we're even having this discussion: dogmatism. At this point you've quite brazenly displayed the behaviors I was getting at to begin with so I really don't care, but since you seem to intentionally fail to understand most of the things I've said in an attempt to manipulate what the original intention of starting this conversation was about, I'll revert to putting my response into a format more recognizable to you:

I understand where your anger and frustration are coming from. The atrocities committed by the Nazis during the Second World War were horrific, and we must strive to prevent such inhumanity from ever happening again.

However, it's crucial to remember that fear and hatred rarely result in positive change. Instead, they often perpetuate a cycle of misunderstanding and conflict. The goal should not be to frighten people into silence but to educate and foster understanding. This is true even when dealing with individuals or groups whose views we find abhorrent.

By encouraging open dialogue and critical thinking, we can expose harmful ideologies for what they are. Shining a light on these viewpoints, rather than pushing them into the shadows, allows society to address them directly. That being said, we should always stand firm against hate speech and actions that incite violence or discrimination.

Lastly, it's also important to consider the role of media and societal narratives in shaping our perceptions. While it's crucial to stay informed, we should also be mindful of potential bias or sensationalism.

The world isn't always black and white, and the more we can encourage nuanced, empathetic discussions, the better we'll be able to address the issues that face us.

DW bro, Nazi's bad. fnord.

My grandfather who caught in WW2 would agree that we should make Nazis scared.

May he rest in pieces.

And not a single thing you said here means anything because you've already been caught posting AI generated text to troll for and defend fascists. How in the world is this kind of behavior even allowed on the sub? Or the server?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Oh man "You've been caught using a tool to respond to people who would probably stick their thumb up their ass to get a better score on an IQ test." So sad.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm not reading your wall of AI text.

Nice edit again. Why did you even bother to pretend the last time you edited what you said that part of it was an edit and not include the other part you edited in as part of the edit? Lol. Sounds pretty dumb.
