But honestly, it is silly in my opinion to even base a discussion around the color of someone's skin to begin with.
Morgan Freeman said it the best;
Yeah, I like him as an actor. But the man was completely wrong here.
Racism doesn't magically stop happenning because we stop talking about it. Racism is a systemic domination and exploitation system that create discriminations and domination relationships.
It's not a result of bad behaviors.
Yeah yeah, leftism=sainthood, and conservatism is the devil incarnate. Hypocrite.
Not necessessarily. It's a question of understanding of the world.
You said it and showed it yourself, you don't care about being right, or looking at science.
You will deny anything that challenges your own personnal vision.
Your relationship to the political world is based on your beliefs and your mindset, not on the current understanding of reality
Being legal doesn't equal moral. Before considering legality, one should consider the morality of said law. Evil laws should not be respected or obeyed. Nazi Germany taught us that. I do agree that America goes way too easy on hate speech. Social cohesion is gone. Their society is polarized and getting radicalized.
You should consider looking at ethics instead of moral arguments. You are lost
Do you understand that the opposite team can say the exact same thing to justify anything they want ?
That any far right guy can say it’s fair game to make lefties or wokes (in their mind) cower in fear.
And you continue on that path you can justify almost any act of violence.
Yeah things people say can create violence for other people. Saying things isn’t neutral at all I agree. Saying gay people are a problèm or being an ultra anti abortion create risks and danger for those people, in real life. Yes.
But the opposite team can think the same, that the left speech create real danger for their kids, in real life.
There is violence and real life consequences in speeches.
but if you allow people to use violence to fight the ideas you’re against It’s the end. No more democracy.
Its fucking hard, democracy is a long and exhausting way to walk on and the US system is bullshit in some ways but killing or assaulting people isn’t the right way at all. It won’t make you right and won’t at all make the opposite team cower in fear, they will just radicalize more and use the same violence (if they didn’t use it beforehand too).
Depoliticizing much ?
It's like there are only fascist activist and leftist activist shooting at eachothers and never an entire fascist and capitalist system targeting leftist, their allies and marginalized people.
I don't think you are aware of it. But fascist are already killing us.
Maybe you should take a look at political assassination in France. Or... I don't know.. how the fascist system is repressing people all over the world.
It’s two different subjects
You can be against his views about immigrants and still be against him being killed
him having those ideas doesn’t mean he deserved to be killed
to be fought, to be named and shit but not killed
What about Nazis ?
At what point do you consider that a person deserves or not to be killed ? When they make war crimes ? When they participate in a genocide ?
Stop trying to imply that political violence is just an exception with shootings like this one or protest. The ENTIRE system is politically violent. America was forged on a genocide, there is no such thing as an absence of political violence in this world. I saw kids with their skull open by the IDF with not a shread of outrage from people who - like you - are outraged by this political violence.
Welcome to the real world. This is not a safe place.
