To be fair, they'd probably think twice about armed protest if they knew the folks they were protesting would be armed as well.

There is a certain pattern to that, you know. The farther you go the left the more scientific and the more theoretical will the ideologies get. Marxism is a science, rather than a doctrine and so are most other, more obscure leftist theories. However, the farther you go to the right, the more will you drift into spritiualism, occultism, religion and other form of superstition and the less connection will these ideologies have to factual, material reality. Even past Hitler and Mussolini, the two grandfathers of the modern far right, rightist philosopher like Evola, or, for a modern and rather influential example, Aleksandr Dugin (Look him up, he's had great influence on neofascist propaganda mouthpiece Lauren Southern) promote a worldview that religious much more than political, an apocalyptic totalitarian dogma hiding behing notions of national and ethnic identity.

And as much as I get that they want a war, well Ghandi suggested that if Nazis come up to you, you should just let them kill you. Ghandi was full of shit. I have never been the type of person who goes looking for a fight. But if someone kicks my door in with intent to do harm, well, I'm not going to die for the sake of holding the moral high ground. And I mentioned that I was going to be buying a safe, that's because whenever I am not using it, it's going to be locked up in a place that only I know.
Trust me, I'll be doing a lot of talking to people when my loans are paid off and I'm actually going to start taking steps towards the purchase. Which, again, is going to be a couple of years. And don't worry, I've been very critical of those who treat guns like toys instead of tools of death. I'm not a hypocrite.

I'm aware of the opioid crisis; but this is the first time I hear blaming opium directly. Mainly because the main offenders are the synthetic ones.TheIronRuler said:.CaitSeith said:This is first time I ever heard about opium being brought up to be an issue here. What is this?

The opioid epidemic is a name for the rampant consumption of drugs - prescribed or obtained via the black market - which are produced from the poppy plant. Opium is one of the first iterations of the drug. Modern drugs are distilled differently (you can produce heroin and codein from poppy, for example) and their compounds can differ from Opium (there are similar synthetics, for example Pethidine and Fentanyl), but it's essentially the same damn thing... it's highly addictive.
This drug brought down a hundreds year old massive Empire which dominated east Asia. It can punch way above its weight.
It really isn't. Most celebrations of WW2 are nationalistic circle-jerks, but then, most celebrations of the military are never for the soldiers involved.Gethsemani said:Generally, any celebration related to WW2 is a celebration of the war ending or coming closer to ending. Operation Overlord was integral in allowing the Western Allies to conduct operations to directly bring an end to the war in Europe and thus liberating the occupied and oppressed people. That's what we are celebrating.Saelune said:We just celebrated D-Day. A celebration about violently attacking Nazis. That's what celebrating D-Day is about, it is about attacking Nazis. Do you think D-Day was bad?
There's absolutely nothing glorious or righteous about thousands upon thousands of young men being maimed or dying in agony, no matter which side of the conflict those men were on. Hitler and the rest of the Nazis will always be the people responsible for 50 million people dying in Europe because of WW2, and while I am thankful that the Allies and USSR stepped up to stop them, I think we should be really careful about canonizing the people who fought them. We should honor them for their sacrifice, but that's not the same as saying that attacking a Nazi is always a good thing. Because violence begets violence and by extolling the virtue of exercising violence on our opponents, we are also falling into the same kind of rhetoric that the Nazis used. From there, we are really close to being just as bad as anyone else that thinks violence against their enemies, real or imaginary, is alright.

The man, named in US media as 38-year-old Aftabjit Singh, allegedly waved a BB gun, which fires small metal ball projectiles, in the capital Washington on Saturday.
A number of people reported hearing gunshots before the crowd fled.
However, officials maintain there is no evidence that shots were fired.
A police report - cited by the Associated Press news agency - said the man took the weapon out after noticing someone "hitting his significant other"."

You misunderstand. Firstly, I am very much aware of the history of Europe during that time. I've been hit by the head with it since I was at primary school. Secondly, as I've said before, you conflate 'nazis' with other nationalist and populist groups which only serves to drive them towards the nazi cause. Open dialogue, understand their difficulties, and reconcile them. They turn to that extreme ideology out of desperation and anger. Trump won because he harassed that helplessness (and because he was a great campaigner). You risk alienating these communities, and you actively do, when you run around foaming at the mouth about Trump, the right wing and 'nazis'. Don't make the ideology illegal - confront it with force, as I've suggest above already twice and you seem to have misunderstood me twice. Black Panthers were a movement to defend the black community in the US, since in many places the police refused to do so. Gun laws are in place for a reason - and you too could have a trained militia, dedicated to patrolling the streets of your neighborhood and keeping you safe. Do not allow the government to exert force on these groups, because the permissions they will receive from the public will not be revoked, and they could be used at the discretion of any US government against groups it wants to put down. It was how the NSA and surveillance on citizens were approved following the 9/11 terror attacks. Siding with the government can have you give away your rights for perceived protection from these 'nazis'.
I know what happened when 'we' opened dialogue with the Nazis. They were allowed to annex the Saarland, and re-militarize the Rhineland without much protest. By the time of Ribbentrop-Molotov and the invasion of Poland Germany was not someone you could have a dialogue with. The strange last attempt of any dialogue was Rudolf Hess flying over to the UK and getting his ass landed in prison.
You are wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, and your wrongness only divides your country further, pushing people ever closer to extremes.

You're victim blaming. You're NOT blaming the bad guys. You're telling the victims to bend over for their abusers, and that is beyond unfair of you. THEY made the division, not us. THEY said 'Kill all Jews/Blacks/LGBT people' not us. You are blaming the wrong people, and that is not ok.
If they want to beg for forgiveness, they can come to us and beg for it. Crazy thing is, I will give it to them, I am very willing to forgive people who ask for it. Most of them arent willing to do it, and that is not my fault.
It is your line of thinking that is the problem, it is the reason Nazis are still a problem after 70 years still.
