Darned cockwombles.
(Well, this complaint is certainly not pointless, but this thread has long since morphed into a general 'does my head in' thread, whether pointless or very pointed.)
The number of people I've seen on social media recently, including people I know, who claim that nazis can and should be debated. What do people not get about the difference between, say, a political group with political demands, however radical, and a group of people that simply wants to enact violence against/eradicate another group of human beings (for reasons totally unconnected with that group's actions), which IS their ideology? You can't have fucking truth and reconciliation with nazis, ffs. So many people sounding just like Donald Trump, whilst of course maintaining that they despise Donald Trump and are just standing up for free speech (repeat ad infinitum). "And by the way, how can liberals really criticise the White Power movement pretty much the same as when someone from Black Lives Matter said they'd like to kill police officers?"
Dear god, the insanity of it.
Makes me fear for the very near future (which I already did, obviously).
