I meant people who hate X people, "acting" on their thoughts. Just because I despise X group of people, why should anyone care about that? It's not a crime until I actually... act on that thought.
Just because I (personally, I'd find it a waste of time for the aforementioned reason in my quoted comment) march with the KKK, doesn't mean I'm doing anything wrong.
Places.
Yes but democracy is also about the free exchange of ideas, ideals and opinions. I know what you mean but I don't think self-destruction is something that should be encouraged in a democracy. Democracy neede defending as it has been defended a multitude of times. It's not a tool with which the demagogues should be allowed to usurp for their own ends.
At what point does the democracy's freedom of expression end so that democracy can be defended though? I mean if people really don't want democracy, they could indeed vote to end it. But if it's a 51% against 49% vote... The majority's oppression isn't something that democracy should be about.
Just curious, do you consider everyone in that picture members of the KKK?
What's actually more interesting to me is how these people can all come out and gawk at a dead body like it's nothing, jesus christ nowadays people get freaked out when someone gets kicked off a plane.
Well, whether it is wrong is very subjective. I think most people would say that marching with the KKK and Nazis is wrong. Of course, that doesn't mean it should be illegal. A person should be free to do such things, but they are not free from the scrutiny of their choices.
At the end of the day, so long as government is staying out of it, and violence is not used, then things are working as I would like them to work. In the case of people being outed and fired, that is exactly how freedom of speech should work. Literally everyone who wanted was allowed to act freely.
That would be great if people actually cared about history.
Slave trade? Whitey's fault. Who cares that the people who sold slaves to Whitey were black and there were black slaver owners and the fact slaves still exist today.
The world war wasn't about right vs left, it was about Hitler wanting to colonise all of Europe. To add to that we had a world war just 20 years or so before about similar things and the only reason we've not had a third one is because of Nuclear weapons.
I can disagree with people, and still interact with them. But, if I march with Nazis, I shouldn't be surprised when someone points it out, and calls me a racist. That guy traveled almost 3000 miles to associate himself with exactly that. he didn't see too upset about being around Nazis and the KKK.
Well, I think we're coming at it from different angles. You make it sound like all these white people are fine with a black person hanging from a tree. I'm coming at it from the people in the picture are fine gawking at a dead body, period.
However, do you think that picture is what the KKK/White Nationalist's want it to become again? Because if that IS what they want, they are even dumber than I thought just at a logic level. It's the same as BLM thinking what they "do" is going to change anything.
Not going to happen, from either group.
You have no idea how many people try and justify things like this and while it sounds ridiculous with the 0 context that you've presented it in, there are logical ways in which people have determined that 9/11 was as a result of US foreign policy and it's not completely dismissable.
