Back to the Nazi's again. Every time you think Nazis is a good argument, look in the mirror. They persecute whole groups of people simply for being part of that group.

You have it arse about backwards with this Nazi example. Its an embarrassing argument for you.

I'm no fan of any of those people who went in for that shit, but I'm no fan because they persecuted whole groups of people simply for being a part of that group.... exactly what you do with Islamic people, and sounds like other groups as well. Hence why I call you on this.

Quote a book all you want, I hear the Nazi's liked to refer to a certain 'story' as well. Doesn't take away from the exact same moral failure you demonstrate every single time you judge billions of people to be detestable because, sOme worDs in a bOoK.

Judge people by their moral fibre and character, not by whatever books or other paraphernalia is in their orbit or faith. By judging others by not seeing them as our fellow humans is about as Nazi as it gets, whether the brown shirt is there or not.

You well know enough to know it wasn't 'who' the Nazi's persecuted. Any group butchered, tortured, demeaned and murdered will be as bad, no matter who does it to who. It wasn't an especially bad act because they were Jewish or Roma, or Gay. It was the 'what, how and why' that was the outrageous act. It was the camps, the rounding up of whole and innocent peoples, the murder, torture and slavery of their captives. Its not who, its what, how and why.

Think about the people in Auschwitz, what was the common characteristic, Bread Thieves? Soldiers? Loiterers? Bus Drivers? No. Jews, Roma, any group as varied as they were many (my line) that the Nazi's decided were "detestable"...(your line).

    Think about the people in Auschwitz, what was the common characteristic, Bread Thieves? Soldiers? Loiterers? Bus Drivers? No. Jews, Roma, any group as varied as they were many (my line) that the Nazi’s decided were “detestable”…(your line).

    This is going to deep into Nazism and is moving away from it being a metaphor, the Nazi detestables was built upon lies and random tests of purity, what I'm saying is based upon the literal book they advocate for and for a significant amount of them the beliefs they share.

    But since we're getting too far away from what I'm saying and too much into ww2 history tell me which evil organisation you want to replace the Nazi's with?

    Here are some random examples that you won't notice a pattern with: 😜

    • ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria / ISIL / Daesh)
    • Al-Qaeda
    • Taliban
    • Boko Haram
    • Al-Shabaab
    • Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT)
    • Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM)
    • Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS)
    • Abu Sayyaf Group
    • Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP)

    :D

    I am also not advocating for any sort of punishment or death, I'm simply saying we should not be importing people from the 90% into a country that believes the opposite 90%, it's a fundamental incompatibility that most Australians seem to be able to grasp that you can't for some reason.

  • There you go with the book again. Now you've said you've problems with all religions, so, like me, I'm guessing you're atheist, if I'm wrong, cool, it doesn't matter for the point. I've got God is Not Great, C.Hitchens on my bookshelf, I've also got a little Dawkins. Interesting the pair of 'em, but I would not like to be judged by what they say, even though I share their same disbelief. Point is, a book can only ever be an approximation of the individual in front of you.


    You conveniently missed the IDF in that little list, what about the RSF? Don't get a mention? I don't have to choose some scary group to replace the Nazi's. There always seems to be someone else stepping up to that particular base to merrily bat away others lives.

    But you'll only recognise that if you understand the problem with the Nazi's was 'what, how, and why', not 'who'. As I said in the last comment.


    going to deep into Nazism

    Surely you're joking. This isn't deep at all. Its surface level.

    Nazis bad. Why? Because they discriminated against people simply because of the groups they came from. Once they had those people captive they did a lot more than discrimination. Its not complicated.

    The discrimination part is what you've done with Muslims. Of course, I know that you're not advocating anything else, but others do, and the general vitriol against a group gives carte blanche to those that would do more. Nazi germany is a great example of this happening in the most horrifying way, but far from the only example. Partition of India is another example, White Australia policy and the Dreyfus Affair are others.


    There'd be "fundamental incompatibilities" with only a white Australia, or Christian, or whatever other segmentation you'd like to choose. Overcoming and moving forward with our fundamental incompatibilities is why we have a democracy (flawed as it is) and a somewhat reliable rule of law, and why people who move here value those two so highly.

    Theres always another person for people to hate on if they're looking for a reason. And theres always a reason to be found. Trick is, learning to not hate on people. The default mental framework is to have an 'other', but its a much more comfortable life to accept todays differences and work for better tomorrow. For example, I have this problem with anti-vaxxers.
