You know like 99% of the time when I see this "deleted for different opinions" thing it always overlooks a clear rule violation. Without context I have no idea what you're talking about though

Sometimes a discourse literally doesn't exist and the only people trying to have a "conversation" are people trying to convince others or trolling.

Fuck off, the best thing to do about right-wing fascism is to delete it.

Wouldnt this do nothing to prevent fascism from growing?

Like, lurkers and people on the fence will never be convinced not to trust it if the topics refuting the stupid shit never happen, no?

When the topic is, "You need more depth to your criticism of neo-nazis and white supremacists because their MIGHT MAKES RIGHT bullshit is actually pretty deep and you're being mean to them by saying it's cruelty," yeah, that shit needs to be nuked.

There is no depth to the nazis' starvation ghettos and death camps or Abbott's putting bladed buoys in the Rio Grande.

It only gets deplatformed on the platforms you use. Itll be platformed elsewhere.

Its like if your kid asks about lgbt stuff in a conservative house and the parents just say dont talk about that.

Like, bro. Its 2023. People have so many avenues to run into this stuff.

Hes right, and thinking that way is not only stupid, its counterproductive.

If you dont actually understand what is going on and only build strawmen, it makes it hard to have any impact in the real world.

If you want to do more than yell on the internet, people are going to need a better grasp of the situation to make any real change.

Fuck that guy.

I dont think that was the point. I was gonna post this:

TC, emphasize is the wrong word.

Comprehend is better. And the benefit is that one can better argue against harmful rhetoric if you actually understand why someone is doing something.

If you are arguing against the pro-lifers, for example. If you cant comprehend that they believe you are killing a baby, and instead, focus on you just want to control women.

Then the engagement in general is pointless. Just to give an example.

I think that was the point, but the TC was stupid and went off the rails.

There's a way these issues can be discussed here and it not be deleted. TC wasn't interested in that. He was going for a "won't somebody think of the poor bigots? You're persecuting them!" angle.

It's not the worst idea. Empathy isn't sympathy, or agreement. It's just better understanding.

If you need "help" trying to understand why nazis are bad then you never actually cared about the subject in the first place, so it's still perfectly fine to disregard your opinions.

This is almost always the case though. Because whenever a law or discussion comes up to help mothers and children, most "pro life" people are against it. They're only pro life in the case of abortion. Once the kid is born, it can die on the street for all they care

woosh

the point is, if you want to understand why conservative movements gain popularity and how to combat them it helps to have some knowledge.

Hell, for instance here I dont even know if you mean nazi like those assholes we see marching, or are referring to ~half the country that leans conservative.
