I imagine people normally dreamed in color before that too then.

I guess the advent of television and film has just been that influential.

Is that really true?

Why would people dream in black and white in the first place? And why does watching a color television cause a change?

It had absolutely NOTHING to do with "their beliefs and ideologies".


I think at some point people would want to stop genocide, even if the "real" reason was aggression. But also Nazism was kind of based on its spread, so aggression was tied into it from the start. Kinda like ISIS today.

Mortality rates in developed countries are probably only like 1% due to violent causes.

And the technology that can grant us eternal youth can also fix most of the hereditary diseases like cancer.
So population growth is a concern. But I think it puts the cart before the horse because people die of old age every day. While it sounds obvious or silly to be concerned by that, it's really no less "natural" and ok than any other reason to die.

First they came for the nazis, and I did not speak out, because I was not a nazi.

Then they stopped, because all the nazis were gone.


I mean it's funny but really naive. A lot of people would put bullets in people for a lot less than that.

Man, I'm not even saying we should go try to convert all the white supremacists.

I don't think the people are the problem, they're too small in number for that. It's the idea that we need to stop the spread of. To me that sounds easy. Just keep denouncing white supremacy like we have been for years. Go protest their rallies. I'm not sure what else you want me to say or think needs to be done.

Do you think we would have been worse off if the Charlottesville incident had been nonviolent? Do you see nonviolent protests and think "these guys are doing it wrong, they should be ATTACKING them"? Because I'm just kinda confused where you want to take this.

To be clear I think that people coming out to peacefully counter the nazi message (and make it clear that they're a fringe ideology that most people reject, as happened today in Boston) is a very good thing; I'm not saying let them have their gathering uninterrupted.


yeah this is very good

The very idea that "oh, they'll come to their senses and calm down if we just leave them alone" is what happened to Germany in the 30s. And we all know how that went.


I don't even know where to start with this. I think the rise of Nazi Germany is a very long and complicated subject. If you think the reason it happened was too many people preaching some pacifism...well I'm gonna need you to expound a lot more on that.

But I think the most rational society would embrace pacifism, at least within itself.

It is abundantly clear that we do not live in a rational society.


The only way to get there is to start trying now. I don't think not punching those nazis would have led to them becoming more prevalent.

It's taking the logic that as a society justifying violence for any reason could send the message that anyone can use violence if it's "justified enough."



Are you of the belief that war is never justified then?


I guess in self-defense. But I think the most rational society would embrace pacifism, at least within itself.

But then they might want to start punching non-nazis.

This might be the worst slippery slope argument I've ever seen. Showing defiance to domestic terrorists is not going to make someone bloodthirsty unless they already were in the first place.


You're not thinking big scale enough. I'm not accusing an individual who punches a nazi as someone who would become bloodthirsty. I'm talking about when you bend the rules for some, others will bend the rules who shouldn't.

Or in other words

Do you prefer a world where nobody, not even Nazis, are punched? Or one where Nazis and lots of good people are punched too?

You might want to say "only Nazis" but I don't think it's very feasible.

It's not really being sympathetic.

It's taking the logic that as a society justifying violence for any reason could send the message that anyone can use violence if it's "justified enough."

Do I shed tears if a Nazi gets punched? Nah. Would I feel good about? I think it's amusing. But then they might want to start punching non-nazis. And there are definitely bad non-nazis that probably deserve to get punched. But soon "good" people are punching "bad" people and we can't agree on who's good and who's bad and we should have said "nobody should get punched" in the first place.

I wonder if Shokugeki is ending soon.

This chapter felt a little rushed, and with the anime saying it might cover this arc that's not even done yet, maybe they know they'll reach the ending in time.
