Irony: a concentration camp doctor gives advice on ethics.
If you aim at Capitalism your attack is easily evaded, for Capitalism is an ephemera, an ideal that exists only in textbooks. Aim instead at human rights and environmental abuses, corruption, and those who grease the slope.

most Westerners are simply not all that informed about Islam I doubt this incomprehension has a worse effect upon society than say, run-of-the-mill privilege and prejudice. Lao Tsu observed that "religion enthralls generation after generation". I posit ...
Civil war is terrible indeed. I hope the USA can avoid it. The Nazis are vastly outnumbered but would still inflict great losses; they already have.
... it's going to become normal? One case, or even Windrush-scale...
@Gosman You made quite a compelling case against Christians though. No, I didn't. You just think it's good because it's all you've got in yours. It's a shit case: I cherry-picked a single verse (or whatever they're called) as though it is the entire litany...
So it's hateful to say that torturing children is wrong, a crime against humanity. The Police marksman who shoots the would-be murderer does so out of hate. That self-defence and the defence of others is motivated by hate. Your moral compass is broken. Oh,...
@Bewildered. Don't go cap in hand to Trump begging for indulgences: get off your knees and suspend him from a lamp-post by his heels. This isnt some normal petition to a benevolent government. "Oh please Sir, won't you stop torturing children Sir?" We sent...
I wasn't making a case against them. Just emphasising your failure to make a case for discrimination against people based on the books they read.
Kidnapping children en masse is theatre. He's good at it. Amazing what a centrist can blithely wave away.
is the comparison valid, and if so, what actions are justifiable and/or unjustifiable?
Yes, and you haven't made a wet paper bag, let alone a case.
Don't flatter yourself Gosman. You can no more make a case that Muslims are intolerant than you can Christians: But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me. Luke 19:27. Saith the Lord, and ...
Ah, sorry, I just spotted the initial misrepresentation in your argument. The comparison is not between Trump and Hitler, but between Trump's behaviour and policies and nazism. So I'll ask you again: is the comparison valid, and if so, what actions are ...
Some Muslims behave like cake shop owners, therefore we should restrict all cake shop owners. We should also restrict members of ACT, and everybody else too. Asinine much.
Masterpiece Cake Shop is still very much in business. Also, I don't think Matthew said that.
Ouch :lol: That said, as Clive James pointed out in Cultural Amnesia, cartoonists found an easy target in Hitler. And then he murdered them all.
No-one's making the claim that Trump represents a new phenomenon. Quite the opposite.
When those trolls are fed and watered by the Minister of Justice, however, you just got caught making a false equivalence.
What about Alan Titford or Graham Capill?
I'm happy to use David Adler's linked article as a guide. That's why I linked to it. I hope this simple guide to the bleedin' obvious can help you look less like a tool in future.
Gosman, seriously, do you think the teens who've noticed that he's a meme for shitness admire him?
Is civil war a valid response to Nazism?
on that basis it is easy to justify all sorts of action against him, his officials and his supporters In your opinion, is the comparison valid, and if so, what actions are justifiable and/or unjustifiable? Are there perhaps some very fine people on both ...
I was thinking more of conversion "therapists", and -subsequently - that African Americans probably have a stronger claim to be at the front of the line.
Is that the claim I made? No. I said "authoritarian centrist political violence certainly exists here". If you want an example of direct National Party involvement you need look no further than Mr. Simon Pleasants.
Oh right. You’ve essentially redefined the term “authoritarian centrism” to satisfy your own biased view. Congrats on doing that.
Are you saying it isn't political, or it isn't violence, or it isn't a manifestation of authoritarian centrism? I gave you a range of examples (there are more), by the way. That you conflated them into one is revealing.
You live a very privileged life Gosman, if you cannot recall any of the threats made against eg: Golriz Ghahraman or Sue Bradford. Or perhaps you think rape culture isn't political. PS: do your own Google searches you lazy slope-greaser.
The National Party isn't as far down the slope as the GOP. Opportunistic nationalism – check Militaristic – arguable. The rhetoric doesn't quite match the budget commitment Machismo – check Attacks on Intellectuals – check Militias – none that I know of ...
