Dehumanizing your subject is easy. Republicans do that to people on the left too. Let's just hate each other till we destroy each other. That's gonna get a good society going.

Oh you don't give a shit about personal beliefs? You the kind who thinks a king is better than a democracy? Because democracy is all about personal beliefs, and convincing your fellow citizens of what you think is right.

I didn’t paint them as evil, I just criticised them. Big difference, which you seem unable to draw.

Rebranding Nazism as Republicans is not painting them as evil?

I mean I understand as the discussion goes people often confuse themselves with what we are talking about, but the OP of the post is branding republicans as nazis, and nazis are people we don't need to give any consideration to, these are people we should eliminate from the surface of the earth.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with me saying “I get you have ideological views, but supporting a party that hurts people to win culture wars is not something I am not cool with”.

Hey you want to get things done you have to start somewhere. If you think your republican friends are better off getting a new party started, I guess you can start the conversation there.

But have a conversation, don't just call them nazis.

You look at this thread, and you ask "where's all the voices". You don't find that ironic?

Silence could mean acceptance, it doesn't mean agreement. Just like being on the left if I say "let's keep the discussion going" all you fuckers are gonna downvote me to oblivion and accuse me of less intelligent and make anyone who have a different idea an outcast, it is the same thing for republicans. Someone who don't go with the flow is made an outcast, so if you don't agree, tough luck.

Yeh, if the left treat its different opinions like this, what the fuck you think a republican having a different opinion is treated like? So if you are strongly for the core policies of your affiliated party, would you raise your voice? Or if you did, you think those voices get heard and get reported?

If you are not in the republican circle, how do you even know how they perceive the policies?

You support a platform for many different reasons. For example you really want small government, so what choice do you have? And how do you know that a republican definitely is a pro-lifer? And if he is a prolifer, how do you know he believes government should control woman? You can't just paint them all as evil as you imagined. What you imagined is not your neighbor.

That's the spirit.

To be honest, a lot of Republicans are still very respectable. The republican platform is fucked up, but if you are talking to your neighbor, don't make his party affliation equal to his personal belief. A Democrat doesn't believe in everything in the Democrat's platform either.

In that sense, insulting a party is not generally helpful for public discourse.

I didn't know the direction either, and went with it for about 50 hours.

How they murdered one of my favorite game. They chose to just ignore those of us who liked the OG game, and used the brand to attract an entire different group of audience. Hoping for division 3.

Yeh exactly. Different companies will do different things. I will choose to ignore unfun cash grabs but there will always be reasons for people to give up cash for simple pleasure. I can only wish the developers I like choose me as their customer.
