BeepMe watching someone on Lemmy getting cooked for having the same opinion as me:
Simulation6Everyone gets to express their opinion. As long as you are honest and polite it’s fine. If others choose to be impolite then fuck em.
What if someone is a nazi. Should we be polite ?
LumidaubFor those who may be confused:
A nazi is an ideology that is used as an identity. The ideology is made up of a group of identical opinions. Some people may share an opinion with the nazi, but if they shade no others then we really should be polite to at least find out if they’re a closeted nazi.
MacN'CheezusA nazi is an ideology that is used as an identity. The ideology is made up of a group of identical opinions.
That is so generic that it applies to every single ideology ever. By this definition, someone who identifies as LGBT is a Nazi.
SamskaraPeople are called Nazis here espousing views that are mainstream in the US Democratic Party.
Herbal GamerAnd that’s the problem of the US Democratic Party.
SchmooI guess it depends on whether they’re referring to elected officials or the electorate, because support for the genocide is only mainstream among elected officials and not the electorate.
But they could also be referring to border policy, which is a little less straightforward, as a lot of the Democratic electorate still has some reactionary views on the border and immigration as a result of candidates and elected officials refusing to offer a counter-narrative to the “border crisis.”
explodicleThe electorate supports genocide by electing these officials.
When most of the AIPAC candidates were elected the electorate was largely ignorant of Israel-Palestine.
Do you think the electorate is still ignorant of it? If not, do you think they’ll vote for anti genocide representatives this year?
They’re not - or at least no one can reasonably claim ignorance now - and they have already voted for anti-genocide representatives in special elections and primaries thus far. It won’t be a wipeout across the board, but AIPAC will lose their stranglehold on US politics this primary season and they know it. They’ve been doing damage control rather than trying to get pro-Israel candidates elected recently.
Not saying you can’t strongly disagree. It is possible to tell someone to go to hell politely.
being a nazi is not being polite
