    …Umm…It was advocacy for slavery, not advocacy for violence. The guy even said “Advocacy for enslavement” in the very next sentence.

    Why did you just do that? Why did you just shift the argument incorrectly? Hell there’s other posts within the 30 minutes you’ve been posting where you clearly knew what the topic was.

      Excuse me for getting mixed up when I’m trying to reply to like seven people at once. Either way, I’ve explicitly mentioned violence and slavery in this discussion multiple times, so I’m not sure why you seem to think this is some rhetorical trap you’ve laid.

      I’ve said it multiple times in this thread: advocating for something like slavery or other violence is not, in and of itself, grounds for violent retaliation. When the advocating moves into action, then it becomes self-defense.

        When the advocating moves into action, it’s too damn late

        And the issue at hand is too irrevocable to leave as a wait and see.

        You speak purely like someone who knows they will never be on the brunt end of the discrimination a day in their life. It’s okay to wait and see because you know you won’t be affected either way by it.

          That’s the rub with self-defense; you can’t employ it unless you have something presently threatening to defend against.

            Well, it sounds like the best thing to do is ignore your cries against violence while you sit on your pedestal completely uninvolved in everyone else’s conflicts, to be honest.

            You just aren’t personally involved enough to see the issue.

              If these conflicts become violent attacks, I’ll be the first one to condemn them.

                Oh fuck off. Your condemnation doesn’t mean anything once the deed is done.

                Like I said, you’re just arguing from a pedestal while not actually feeling threatened by the possibility. You’re in no position to argue this.

                I’d say we should just let you condemn people for punching racists. Better that then the other way around.
