Oh. Those exist?
I don't mind.
I'd never use.
But if that's what some people are into, they should be free to have that.
Helps preserve diversity, by having pockets of various "pure breeds", contrast to all those favouring genetic diversity [in their romantic relations] and "hybrid vigour" [in their offspring]. Good to have both.
Though one has to wonder how over populated with how distasteful of character such most attracts though. Like a friend says, if the colour of your skin is the main thing you've got going on, you've not got much going on. Content of character, innit. Better criteria.
But who are we to decide for others who they're to be attracted to. There are many other sites and services matching people of one criteria with another. Idealistically (perhaps naively), this (like for like) should be no different. If we deny them this, the worst will still seek it out, and curate it, bolstered by terrorised/terrorising poor-me victim narratives spurring on survival reflexes. As seems to have happened.
Not sure such actions are a remedy. Likely to have them double down to worse. :/
Haha Holy shit mate. What in the fuck is a "pure breed". That's such an insane take. Have you ever read a book before? Every human population has genetic diversity. Humans have been on this planet for around 300,000 years.
I sincerely hope that you are a racist troll, otherwise the education system has let you down.
fear quotes, dude.
I sincerely hope that you are a racist troll,
you hope differently from me.
What does your first sentence mean in this reply? That the person you're replying to should be scared of quotes?
Oh, sorry, is the correct term now "scare quotes"? Websearches were stubborn to pull up a definition for "fear quotes". But since you know scare and fear are synonyms... this should be in reach.
I coulda swore "fear quotes" was the idiom. Maybe I've slipped along the 6th dimension again, and/or some vast retcon's afoot. n_n
Anyways, I used scare quotes to denote my distaste for that term, mocking those who are into that kind of thing, highlighting the implausibility of it (being "pure").
Oh I see, I get it. I've never heard of scare quotes or fear quotes. Thanks.
Oh. Those exist?

I don't mind.
It was a Nazi-hub. You should mind.

like I said:

and

if the colour of your skin is the main thing you’ve got going on, you’ve not got much going on
[Edit: and...
if the colour of your skin is the main thing you’ve got going on, you’ve not got much going on
[which with a little extrapolation is also] meaning they're on a doomed trajectory. Like is so often the case, we see those who are into that, are not the "superior genetics" they claim to be. ...

No. Nazis don't get to play in my internet.
No. Nazis don’t get to play in my internet.
I'd rather they not succumb to being nazis, rather than try to out-authoritarian them preventing their access to internet by claiming the internet my own. Daryl Davis has shown us how.
Boggles my mind why that got such a heavy downvote.
... Surely you're not all racists, disliking my critique of the content of character of racists.
Was it because my choice of wording, it confounded my meaning, such that people mistook me as the racist??
Was it because I outed the folly of prohibition, showing how it does not prevent, making it more malignant? Was that missed too? Or wasn't missed, but disagreed with but without cogent counter-argument?
No tolerance for Nazis, just bullets.
How about ex-Nazis who are disgusted at ever having fallen for that indoctrination and ever being so incurious, ignorant, hateful and bigoted, and have now vowed to help end Nazism?
... Like many of those who Daryl Davis spoke to now are.
Just bullets for them too?
Always a better way.
Beware those seeking to preach the one true way, especially of violent power over others, as malicious archons.
More tools in the toolbox than just a hammer helps see people as people, not nails.
Better ways than opposaming, becoming them, and provoking them with the problem that has them react craving their solution of more Nazism.
Y'know? Can't get there from here.
Homie, if Nazis don't want bullets they can stop when they want. We didn't chat it out with Nazi Germany, we exterminated.
Didn't watch any of the Daryl Davis vids I linked there, did you?
How about, we get a few more Daryl Davises around and it wont get to Nazi Germany level again.
One man, over 200 people de-nazi'fied, many (I presume) even turned any of libertarian, anarchist, or (genuinely) socialist. If it were all [Edit: (or even if not, since pretty much anything's more positive than Nazi)], could even say that's an over 400 people shift to the positive.
How many Nazis have you stopped being Nazi by killing them? And how many more Nazis did that make, as they rose up in lockstep vowing to end you and anyone like you all the more, in vindictive retribution?
Or is that the plan? Keep psychologically driving them harder and deeper into Nazism, and more of them, until we do end up in a Nazi Germany level again?
[Edit: PS: Mattias Desmet's book, The Psychology of Totalitarianism is a superb read on the topic too. Save us it can. Don't let them reach their dire tipping points. Keep speaking up. Shatter their illusion of the one true way.]
You're at Nazi Germany already, no ones woken up to it yet. "They thought they were free".
You’re at Nazi Germany already, no ones woken up to it yet. “They thought they were free”.
Yeah. Good point. If the shoe fits? I never saw the shoe come off. Continual fascism.
Nullifies:
We didn’t chat it out with Nazi Germany, we exterminated.
So if that did not even work... maybe time to look to other solutions. Maybe high time we each look around and see who's having a lot of success. Oh look, Daryl Davis has had over 200 Nazis and KKK cease being so. :3 Could be worth looking into. ;)
How about you do the Daryl Davis thing and ill be ready over here when the Nazis start rounding people up. I fucking know who he is you don't need to keep bringing it up.
