Shouts of “he should be shot” could be heard multiple times Thursday night at the Republican midterm convention as Texas Sen. Ted Cruz was criticizing prominent Democratic politicians by name.
Are you like, literally brain damaged? Who allowed you on the internet? Can you put your caretaker on so I can let them know you’re sneaking around their rules?
I’m not making any claims at all about who the victims are. Only pointing out the fact that all sides claim to be victims and then use that claim to justify their violence.
It is interesting that doing so here immediately results in vitriolic accusations of being a Nazi, however. I wonder what I’d get called if I said the same thing on Truth Social.
You keep repeating “both sides” ignoring completely that there’s one side causing violence and another one responding to that violence. That is disingenuous in the best case, and dishonest in the worst.
Do you understand that republican nazis here could stop all the violence calls against them by simply stopping their persecution of minorities and “non white” people? Do you understand that the other side (aka: left-wing people, minorities and, in general, “non white” people) would not need to defend themselves against fascists if those fascists weren’t trying to kill them? “Both sides” is just a way of equalling violence between a victim and a bully and shifting blame to the victim. You are doing that and, if you say that nazis and their victims are equal… it kinda makes you a nazi.
Yeah, Popper’s pretty obscure - I probably haven’t ever heard of him, and his arguments definitely aren’t misquoted and misunderstood on Lemmy on a daily basis.
The rhetoric to justify violence is the same either way, which is the point.

So you don’t believe in self defense?
You’re not even trying to be honest here, aren’t you? Do you really think nazis are the victims here?

Just because the rhetoric might have similarities in some very narrow hypothetical does not make these things equivalent.
I would recommended reading Popper’s paradox on tolerance, too…

But it’s not even remotely the same. You can’t make something true be just repeating it you simpleton.
You’ve been shown multiple times that it is not actually the same tho. You are just refusing to listen.
Nah. You are a proven liar and your comments can be disregarded out of hand.
