I'm just saying that being racist or a murderer is totally unrelated to political views. Those can happen in both the left and right. Guys, you're smarter than this. For real. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 0 points 3 years ago (1 child) The conversation is about nazis. You keep trying to talk about communists. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] pazukaza@lemmy.ml 0 points 3 years ago (1 child) I said it doesn't matter if the Nazis were right wing or left wing, what matters is that they were criminals. Then that person said that mass murder and racism is only aligned with the right, so I showed him/her that that is wrong, murder and racism can also happen on the left. The point being that just because in the past there were rotten apples in the left/right, it doesn't mean that being in the left/right makes you a rotten apple. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] BaumGeist@lemmy.ml 1 point 3 years ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] pazukaza@lemmy.ml 0 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) (1 child) Ok, so if it is important to keep awareness, why did people get triggered here when I pointed out that there have also been murderers, racists and dictators in the left? Is it fine to keep awareness only for the opposition? Keeping an eye on this is exactly the type of fear that the Republicans use to suppress the left. "A leftist president? Have you seen North Korea?" It's just flawed logic. The only logic that has created the perfect conditions for racists in power is exactly this type of discrimination based on past examples. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] bloodfart@lemmy.ml 0 points 3 years ago (1 child) No one is triggered by you. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] pazukaza@lemmy.ml 0 points 3 years ago (1 child) Oh wow, you're so cool man. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] bloodfart@lemmy.ml 1 point 3 years ago Thank you!
