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.
It isn’t a race to the bottom.
You’re not going to win moderate people to your side by labeling them Nazis.
It’s a mistake to find the most extreme opinions in a group and use them to label the entire group. Just because outrage and self-righteousness feels good, doesn’t mean it’s actually accomplishing anything.
The kinds of statements, like in the OP, are just a form of public masturbation. You’re just yelling into the void for the pleasure and mental rush.
If your goal is to defeat right-wing nationalists, you need to convince the undecided people and that isn’t happening if you’re just ranting like a crazy person because your brain is addicted to upvotes and outrage.
the fuck are you talking about, labeling groups? the op is talking about one person.
Hello, welcome to Lemmy.
In Lemmy, posts can contain comments which are organized into hierarchical threads.
If you are ever confused and need to understand the context of a conversation you can scroll up and read the thread from the top.
yeah which is why you should do that
You’re just confused and don’t understand the terminology of the software that you’re using…
The Original Poster made a post about a specific person. In the Comment Section there are many people responding to the OP. Each of these comments form a thread. The thread consists of people replying to the person above them.
The thread is the context of conversation, as all replies in the thread are a reply to a reply, etc to the person making the first comment in the thread.
The first comment, in this thread in which we’re conversing, is:
Notice how it is talking about a group of people and not a single person.
I’m talking about a group of people and not a single person.
In this thread, which followed the comment that I just quoted, we’re talking about a group of people and not a single person.
You seem to be confused and think we’re having a conversation with the OP, who has not commented in this thread.
god, this is embarrassing for you.
op also means original post. and the original post is clearly about a specific person. also the top level comment again talks about a group of people only in the context that it applies to that specific person.
“fuck hannibal lecter, he’s a cannibal and he should get the death penalty, he doesn’t deserve rights”
“yes cannibals are horrible but that doesn’t mean we should support the state murdering citizens”
“no, cannibals should get special treatment”
the second comment is about a group, but as it applies to the person. none of that exchange, including the third, is about labeling a big group of people by the worst among them. it doesn’t call all murderers or criminals cannibals. it doesn’t even call the GOP cannibals because cannibals aren’t that vile.
so you’re the one confused. a little too eager to cover for cannibals I would say.
I guess you know what I said better than I know what I said. 👍
since you clearly don’t know what anyone’s talking about including yourself I would say yes I do
