scabs. they’re the equivalent of scabs. are scabs at a labor strike ok with you?
i’d like to continue our thread here. i am starting to understand something about your train of thought. see my scab reply and let me know what you think there. or here. either way.
to me, the logistics trucker that puts his humanity at risk by trucking for the nazi camps is … I get it. he’s working class, paycheck to paycheck… but that’s a formula we’ve seen before huh?
a scab in a nursing home or shipping dept or air traffic control is the same formula.
remember, what the first nazi cohorts did was legal when they did it. the camps. the logistics. all of it. (except for that long knives thing)
are we to forgive folks just following orders? just getting by? maybe the trucker is more human than the director of the camp, sure.
i am still going to remind him and others, for the rest of their lives, they supported this “legal” monstrosity of death.
I'm done. I'm fucking done. You've moved the goalposts so far beyond the original that I don't think we're even in the same state we started out in.
Bottom line: You were espousing dangerous rhetoric given how flippantly people around here resort to calling others nazis (the subjects of articles and other users both). You can't just deem/call someone a nazi and use that as an excuse for "anything goes". I've explained how that is a dangerous cocktail.
Say what you will. If it's in violations of the rules, it'll probably get modded. If the behavior repeats, you may get a ban. That's not specific to you; it applies to everyone. In no way are mod actions here to be interpreted as anything other than maintaining a civil atmosphere and adherence to the community rules and the LW TOS.
Don't like it? Go over to YPTB and whine and spin another tall tale about how mods here are fascist bootlickers because we won't let people screech for violence. Or you can go find another community that allows that kind of bullshit. Frankly, I don't give a fuck.,
I've explained the rationale behind the mod actions clearly and more than once. If you don't get it by now, I'm not going to entertain you any further.
