It’s pointless attempting to speak to them in a venue which participates in brainwashing like Facebook, and Twitter. Remove Facebook and Twitter from the equation and this calculation begins to vary.

Agreed. Across the board, the very best counter to bigotry and prejudice has at all times been private, face-to-face information of people that belong to the group one’s been prejudiced towards.

The actual hazard of social media platforms is that they facilitate and encourage individuals creating filtered areas which, even when they permit interplay with out-group members, are usually structured in order that interplay reinforces moderately than undermines these judgements. The drawback with the fabled “secure area” is that any organism who stays in a single too lengthy turns into unable to outlive exterior it, like orchids in a greenhouse.

check out this ban (which was appealed…and REVERSED!)

With that kind of logic, ANYONE who sits down with a Nazi, is a Nazi.

So I assume each individual that spoke to Hitler was a Nazi.

What. The. Literal. Fuck.

EDIT: Sorry. I noticed this explicit ban was introduced up earlier on this thread. My dangerous. But nonetheless…WTF?

A 7 day ban reversed 6 days into the ban, and no rationalization for why the ban was reversed. The TBP mods need the inmates to not totally perceive what the principles are. It’s a type of terror to maintain individuals afraid, and to maintain individuals inside the cult-minded groupthink.

Really, what was at stake with the “Rommel Apologism” ban is the idea of whether or not or not you’ll be able to view enemies as something aside from enemies. The Rommel fable exists as an antidote to the concept all enemies are irrevocably evil or subhuman, and never that Rommel particularly was a great Nazi. It’s a reminder to view your enemies as human, with a spread of fine and evil traits.

Naturally, RPG.Net avoids this whole line of dialogue. I believe that is an ego-defense reflex. Discussing Rommel as an individual makes it simple to poke holes in his character (you’ll be able to poke holes in anybody’s character). However, if you happen to begin discussing why the Rommel fable exists, RPG.Net’s workers must admit they have not taken the lesson to coronary heart; quite the opposite, they’re accent to a scorched-earth defamation and disinformation marketing campaign towards MAGA, anybody they hearken to or assist, anybody who has breathed the air fifty miles downrange of them, and actually, anybody to the best of the center of the Democrat aisle.

At this level I believe many of the web has misplaced the forest for the timber on the subject of Nazism and Fascism. The Biden Administration is actually sending weapons to the Ukrainian Nazi get together. I’ve an issue with Biden being a Manchurian candidate as a result of he clearly has dementia and in half of his public appearances, the furnishings appears to be like prefer it was supplied by Fisher Price. I’ve an issue with the Biden Administration releasing one thing like 2/3rds of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to fail at shopping for off the 2022 Midterm.

I haven’t got an issue with the Biden Administration giving Javelins to Ukrainian Nazis. In context, that is smart, and for this reason the Rommel was a Good Nazi trope is a vital fable even when it is just a fable.
