Are there variations to this one cool trick? Like does (1.1′) calling any group of people Nazis, and (1.2′) telling them to go fuck themselves work the same as (1)? What are the limits to this incredibly faultless procedure? Inquiring minds want to know.
… you’re dancing ah awfully fine like here friend
Fuck Nazis! Anyone who waves a flag with a Swastika (not the Gammadion Cross), uses Aryan symbols and salutes like a fucking Nazi is a fucking Nazi. I'm just waiting for the MAGA asswipes to force the US military to goose step during parades with Jack Boots.
I do think it's important to try to respectfully explain why what somebody is saying is an issue but only when you have the energy.
I know from some people I've spoken with that they have no idea about the consequences of some things they (used to) agree with. If I had just called them Nazis they would have just felt disrespected and probably not thought about why people might call them that.
but only when you have the energy.
Thank you for this, because I don't have more than to post fuck Nazis
There is some merit to this point. People are emotional creatures first, and sometimes exclusively. It often doesn't matter if you're right if the other people feels bad about it.
This is a really immature, unsophisticated, way to engage with the world, but it's the reality for a lot of people. Honestly, it happens to all of us sometimes. Some people seem to rarely rise above the gutfeel level, though.
It does kind of suck that we have to cater to the most simplistic ways of engaging with the world, because if we don't they'll form a far right party and do some genoide.
It's the year 2035 and Johnny returns home from school....
Johnny: Hi mom!
Mom: Get back here and greet your one and only mother properly!
Johnny: fuck nazis mom!
Mom: fuck nazis my handsome boy!
And meanwhile, all over Johnny´s country, people are jailed, murdered and tortured for their ethnical background. But not by nazis, nonono.
