I seem to remember the Nazis mass murdering a bunch of undesirables before the war kicked off, so that’s still not really a good point.

Perhaps, but so did a bunch of other authoritarian regimes. It's the sheer scale of their deliberate mass murder that distinguishes the hitlerists as one of history's great villains and is why they cast such a long historical shadow. Regardless, it's not the point she was making, so she doesn't get any benefit of the doubt in terms of not being either a big dumb dumb or a bit of a shit.

A friend of mind considers himself a "nonsectarian socialist" and I'm trying to figure out if that means anything other than "larper."
The details of the above post are subject to leftist infighting.

I officially endorse Fivey Fox for president of the United States.

Candace Owens will always be a black girl no matter how much she tries to be white. Tell her to go sit in the nincompoop corner with my ex girlfriend, Sammy Sosa, and everyone else who tries to hard to be white when they're not.

It's a shame really. She's fairly attractive but she's also fairly dumb so it cancels her appearance out in my eyes. I can't date a dumb woman, I find being a dickhead to be a major turnoff.

The leftists and the right wingers just have very different, economic, political, social and cultural views, it does not mean the right wingers are bad and evil and the leftists are good. It does not mean the leftists are bad and evil and the right wingers are good. We have very different ways of thinking.

I once tried to K Me. Posted It and Reported. Locked by Mods. I am Autistic accounts for Repetitive Nature. I am Very Civil and Respectful to all on NS and off NS. My Opinions Are Not Bad Opinions No Ones Opinions Are Bad Opinons. We are on NS, to share, discuss, argue, disagree, on Trump, elections, Republicans, Democrats, Socialists, Libertarians and whatevers, with respect. This Respect Is Given It Is Not Earned, This Respect Is Called Freedom of Expression and Democracy. This Man Always Says What He Means, I Am The Real Thing. I Make Ted Cruz look like a Leftist. I have been on NS For over 10 Years with a Perfect Record of No Baiting, Trolling, Flaming, or Using Foul Language. I Am Very Proud of It and Wish To Keep My Record Clean. But I Am Not The Only One On NS. GMS. I'm Based.

If we didn't believe some views and systems to be morally better than others we'd all be apolitical rather than wasting our time on political forums. While some systems may be better than others, it is true that many individuals on the "other side" of an issue may have good intentions and be the victims of bad ideology keeping their thought within a particular cage. Some people on either side are also just jerks or very bad at debating.

Entire sides aren't "evil", but neither are everyone's opinions worth exactly the same to the extent we can just go "just different" and leave it at that.
