ā€œFirst they came for the Nazis, and I said nothing, because there are good people on both sidesā€. Octo, itā€™s pretty funny to see the fucking Nazis trying to hide behind the rule of law, when the whole point of, yā€™know, Nazism, is that the rule of law is horseshit, and violence and force are the way the world should work. I mean, suppose youā€™re a real life Nazi, who believes might makes right. So what happened in World War II again? The Nazis lost, their armies were defeated, their country was bombed flat and occupied by their enemies. If you really were a Nazi shouldnā€™t you switch sides at that point and join the liberal enlightenment? ---

So what happened in World War II again? The Nazis lost, their armies were defeated, their country was bombed flat and occupied by their enemies. If you really were a Nazi shouldnā€™t you switch sides at that point and join the liberal enlightenment? Well might does make right. Look, I donā€™t understand why people are Nazis. Just like I donā€™t understand why people and professors are communists. I canā€™t get into their mindset about a global, Jewish conspiracy and all that noise. You ever read the stuff at Stormfront? The writing and logic there is the biggest rebuke to White supremacy. In fact I think identity politics in general are stupid. Thatā€™s why I think people of color is a stupid and divisive phrase. What I really get annoyed by, even more than Nazis, are the intellectually dishonest and stupid people who are willing to not only dishonestly misrepresent an argument but then are willing to ignore their own professed values. These people are more dangerous due to sheer volume. Letā€™s do some badness math. 200 nazis x 300 units of badness. Compare that to at least 1,000,000 intellectually dishonest, politically motivated hypocrites x 3 units of badness. Yeah. Thatā€™s more bad. Canā€™t argue with math. ---

And Iā€™ve been clear about that forever. Now chopping off heads and pushing gays off of buildings and other atrocities means ISIS as an organized faction needs to be dealt with. And there is no need to be a douche, even in The Pit, because of a difference in the acceptance of political violence. ---

> [@QuickSilver](#): > > What about the lynchings and genocide?.. you just want to let bygones be bygones?.. water under the bridge? > > Fineā€¦ how would you deal with ISIS if they staged similar marches in Anytown, USA? Is this ISIS acting illegally? Are we in a declared war with ISIS? Thatā€™s tricky actually. Iā€™m not sure what ISIS can or cannot do legally in the US. Letā€™s assume they can march legally in the US. If so and they are acting peacefully than that is their right. Do I agree with their atrocities no. But if an ISIS supporter can march legally and peacefully Iā€™m not going to advocate violently attacking them. Is this really a hard concept?
