Not really “powertripping”. Just pathetic. Consider this a notice to avoid feddit.org… I’ve unsubbed and blocked the instance.

We can’t dehumanize fascists for their choice to dehumanize everyone for things outside their control though, because that would be mean, and hurt their sociopath feefees!

Europe stool idly by throughout the 1930’s “tolerating” fascism, and the Nazi’s killed over 100 million people. Don’t make the same mistake as the radical centrists of history. Fascists will not afford you the same tolerance or courtesy.

    legal […] like the holocaust.

    Funnily, German law did not change during the holocaust, and Germany still convicts people for being accessories to murder in concentration camps under the laws of the 1940s.

        “There is only what is and that’s it. What should be is a dirty lie.” — Lenny Bruce

        There’s no justice inherent in the world. The nature of things is that the ruthless and powerful will prosper. That is why setting up systems of justice and maintaining them is important. They will never be perfect or even close to it, but having them is better.

            I do get what you’re saying. The system is unjust. It is. What I am saying is that the unjust features of the system have nothing to do with the system. It’s just the nature of people. You could have the American system, or the Soviet, or anarchism, or Star Trek, or whatever, but the people with more power assembled to themselves will always be able to dominate the less powerful to some degree. Until you start doing a full Harrison Bergeron power-equalizing system, which of course is enforced by a Harrison Bergeron central all-powerful wait wait wait….

            I do get what you mean, that the American system is corrupt and oligarchic. It is. I just am saying that any theory where you want to do whatever-else instead of the American system needs to take into account where the corruption in the American system comes from, and put up some strong defenses against it in whatever new way we’re doing instead.
