Re: The Paradox of Tolerance
Using violence on them gives them the chance to say "look, our race/nation is under attack! join us." If you ignore them or tell them to get lost then their ideas can't be as easily defended. They say that anyway! You are talking about people who would have you believe that if I, a white man, were ...

Re: The Paradox of Tolerance
As for the last, if you don't wear their iconography, use their dogwhistles, or chant their slogans, the chances of being mistaken for a Nazi are very, VERY slim. Really? What did Taylor Lorenz do wrong, then? What are you, 4? I said the chances "very slim." Not "no chance at all." Why do so many p...

Re: For Frell's Sake
Nazi geeks are the weirdest geeks. I mean, what must it be like, to grow up with all these horrible, monstrous, cancerous, beliefs while cheering on heroes like Indiana Jones and Captain America who oppose those very same beliefs to the very core of their being? How you reconcile your love of media ...

ENT Storm Front (Parts 1 & 2)
The reviews proper won't be until next month, but I finally saw the whole thing for the first time last night (I'd tuned out during the Xindi arc, and only came back towards the end of Season 4 because my Dad swore to me that the show was getting a lot better), and, whatever else you can say about i...

Re: The Paradox of Tolerance
This is very vague. What's enough? Who determines when we've had enough? What constitutes 'spreading their nonsense in public?' How do you appeal decisions if you feel you were beaten in error? Credit where credit is due, these actually are fair questions here. In order, the same answer for the fir...

Re: The Paradox of Tolerance
Ok. Let's assume, for the moment, that Charles Murray is, in fact, a racist piece of garbage. He wrote The Bell Curve. A book white supremacists who want to look smart cite to this day. He's absolutely a racist piece of shit. Does he deserve beating? Does every racist deserve a beating? Not every. ...

Re: The Paradox of Tolerance
Just leave it. Arkle doesn't seem to understand nuance or politics. I understand nuance just fine. I also understand that there are times when it's not called for. There aren';t many, but when you';re dealing with self-described white nationalists, that's one of those times. It's one of those thing...

Re: The Paradox of Tolerance
Protecting a racist piece of garbage who gets away with spreading anti-Black pseudoscience with a book that was discredited 20 years ago? Of course, that's just based on the Right Wing op-ed that you shared, written by a man with very little credibility when it comes to accuracy. And also there's th...

Re: The term "Mary Sue" needs to die.
She;s not a Mary Sue beucase she's not a fan fiction character. She's canon.ChiggyvonRichthofen wrote:Like I said, her story isn't finished, so I'm not even putting Rey into the definite "Mary Sue" category yet. She definitely has those tendencies in the first film, though.
The End.
