You did NOT just say this. Be nice to racists and nazis?? Girl, do you want to tell us something about yourself? Cause it kinda looks like you sympathize with racists and nazis lol 

Don’t bother. They jumped ship as soon as I asked if they were defending nazis.

I think you misunderstood him and perhaps he did not express himself well as he is from the middle east. Did you say "i'm not surprised that user thinks that way" Im not sure if it was a typo bcs he gets misunderstood bcs of where he comes from and that's not fair to him, we're not always a reflection to the country we live in

I said that because I've seen him make comments like that before, that allude to some sort of 'threat' that is disguised by progressives - I'm always skeptical of people who do that repeatedly... Even if he misspoke, the insinuation in his statement is that feminism being appropriated by people for political gain is somehow on feminism, and that is just not the case...

I'm 56 years old and born and living in Europe, and all my life I voted for leftists political parties (not centrist left), but I think in America all is being taken to the extremes, and this only causes more hate hate hate

Well...

Look up what ICE has been up to. Locking up kids, separating families, forced hysterectomies, it's all pretty damn close. Not to mention fanning the flames of prejudice towards hispanic, black, and Muslim people and propping up anti-semitic Qanon theories.

The comparisons to Hitler are pretty apt, actually. Give him four more years and see how all this unfolds further.

I sympathize for those children locked up and of course the families who suffer from that but again, I stand by my words that we can not compare that to the holocaust. As someone who has far off relatives who are Jewish and have heard stories of the holocaust from their grandparents, I think its not a fair comparison at all. 

Is what Trump is doing bad? Yes. Is it comparable to the Holocaust? No.

Yes the US is a melting pot, it's a fully colonized land just like Australia, there is no "legitimate" "real" american because the real americans are what they call the native americans.

So if a white person tells you to "go back to your country" you should tell them the same. Go back to Germany, UK, Ireland, it's where you're from too, you're an immigrant, your ancestors were immigrants. Trump's ancestors are german immigrants who moved to New York 

Yeah I know, the level of absurdity and hypocrisy is really high, and we are all immigrants at a certain level, so this bullshit have to stop. They should accept and confess they are just little things totally uneducated and/or are affraid to loose their priviliege, and THEN, we'll be able to talk to them in real conditions

No, a lot of people on the left hate Obama and Hilary - leftists pretty much unanimously hate both... They still vote for democratic candidates because its their only option... or what would you rather they did? Not vote at all?

Who are those many people who accused you of being sexist for it? Where are those many people in mainstream media? I literally don't see it ever in progressive circles anymore...

Also don't pretend like no sexist comments were made about Hilary when she was running - there was PLENTY...

I always make a difference between a Trump / Hilary supporter, and a Trump / Hilary voter. So im not against people who voted for Hilary / Trump, but im against their supporters.

I love Progressives and the left, they are not the ones im criticizing.

I also did not pretend sexism did not happen against Hilary, but alot of people were accused of sexism like Bernie Bros and people who hated her policies.

My main point is the system in America is fascistic, the issue is not only Trump and Republicans, everyone in this thread has voted or will be voting for the lesser of two fascists right?

Killing nazis doesn’t cause more hate. It creates less nazis. 

[brizoda 3,937]

People here think that only Trump supporters are racist, there is a lot of Democrats supporters that are racist too (but they keep the mouth shut in public)

[ARTPOP 3,096]

It is funny how some users would rationalize racist actions but they draw the line when it comes to comparing them to “Nazis”

The bar is pretty low

To an extent, sure... but why bring in feminism then? As I mentioned in one of my replies, feminism being appropriated is not on feminism... There was no reason for you to bring it into the conversation in which it very much looks like you're equating the two... If you want to make arguments about how certain leaders in the US can perform fascism, just do that...

Maybe! I’m just talking in general about them.

there's no excuse for acting as devil's advocate for ku klux kids when you go carpet bombing the protest threads with "yeah they are protesting wrong tho"

if that's not complicity idk what is

So there are hate laws, but no just racism laws. Like telling a black person that they don’t matter doesn’t count as hate speech, by law. Somehow. 

Ok.. So there isn't aggravated sentence if there is racism and racism isn't considered as a particular case of hate speech, so the only alternatives are associations or violence

It doesn't require someone locking up people in gas chambers to adequately compare something to the Holocaust. 

The Holocaust was at the end of the 1930s and beginning of 1940s. This is a light version of it in many ways, just in a modern setting.
