Schindler's List and the mind of Drumpf
#21
RE: Schindler's List and the mind of Drumpf
We should take all these borderline fascists on their own merit without dragging Hitler in kicking an screaming. To draw historical comparisons is just clouding the judgment. Yes, they are bad but they're bad for their own reasons. To make myself perfectly clear, Hitler was just another populous politician. Drawing from the prejudices and resentments of his time. That's the only similarity. And of course that everyone should take populists at their word. They will do what they set out to do. If they get half a chance.

To want to marginalize your post, I would first have to give a shit about its content. I was just trying to give you a ribbing over this crusader persona you jump into every once a while. Stop with the persecution complex. I really don't care what you have to say.

Sorry you get butthurt so easily. Do you need a safe space?

How often do you even come around here? How many posts of mine have you actually read?

Regardless, I'd need some specifics before I could even comment.

Your story matches a lot peoples stories I've heard. He will be a bully to the rest of the world, but we do have two countries that will bully him back. China or Japan will not be bullied by anyone. If he trys to give China a wet willy, China will grab him from behind, pull his pants down, yank that underwear up so high, then for good measure they will slap that fat stomach of his many times over till he cries like a little girl.

Sure, sure...not going to give me any specifics so I can try and figure what it is you're even talking about?

I feel a lot of folks have been super on edge around here lately. My guess is it's due to the election.

Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Not sure why he lumped me in there, though, but he has avoided explaining it. I guess he's just content to make snide accusations about someone and run away.

I can see what he means in regards to your posts in this thread, but don't recall any others outside of that. 

I think most of the tension on AF is usually due to atheist vs theist debates. But since the election happened, I feel there's been more atheist vs atheist tension than usual, especially among people who normally get along just fine. We're not used to seeing that, so it's just making people come off as grumpier and more argumentative than usual. 

That's my theory, anyway.

No, the tension is just the same. If it's about theists, it's about rightwing theists. The ones justifying slavery, rape and child abuse, just to name a few of the halmarks being obvious in various threads.

It's actually pretty much the same with atheists. The only common denominator between atheists is disbelief. Other than that they can swing in any direction. And they are challenged accordingly. That's not new, it just happens more frequently due to recent events.
