Even if someone uses it as insult against you. It's still just a word.

2019-09-21 22:27:28 UTC  

When your beliefs lead to attacking other people who are non-violent, which in turn creates violence and then becomes cyclic (I don't care who started it, but someone did), it is a problem.

2019-09-21 22:28:05 UTC  

well yeah one side thinks theyre just protecting their history and heritage, and the other side is just some braindead sjw retards, while the other side sees themselves as crushing the intolerant, racist rightwing assholes and that theyre making the world a better place. it really feels like the two groups are arguing past each other a lot of the time, and theyve both just built giant strawmans of each other

2019-09-21 22:28:12 UTC  

some people think violence is justified though

2019-09-21 22:28:27 UTC  

because they think the people theyre attacking are hurting other people too

2019-09-21 22:28:38 UTC  

also idk can i say the n word here?

2019-09-21 22:28:39 UTC  

Violence is only justified against those who are actively violent.

2019-09-21 22:28:45 UTC  

i just erred on the side of caution cause i wasnt sure

2019-09-21 22:29:02 UTC  

....and only then in the defense of oneself or another.

2019-09-21 22:29:32 UTC  

It's a problem. Especially when one side of the argument thinks they are righteous.

2019-09-21 22:29:51 UTC  

Doing Violence in the name of "righteous-ness" is always risk business.

2019-09-21 22:29:57 UTC  

Correct.

2019-09-21 22:29:58 UTC  

And those are the most dangerous people to deal with

2019-09-21 22:30:16 UTC  

Whether it's religious righteous-ness or political.

2019-09-21 22:30:23 UTC  

It allows you to justify whatever you do.

2019-09-21 22:30:29 UTC  

Extremism and zealotry always lead to it.

2019-09-21 22:31:10 UTC  

Yes but it always swings back. Eventually. Today it's this group. 10 years from now who knows who it will be.

2019-09-21 22:31:29 UTC  

I sometimes feel like people cannot be balanced or neutral as a whole

2019-09-21 22:31:37 UTC  

The moment you stop accepting that someone is allowed to have another opinion outside of your perspective and proceed to become violent then you're absolutely in the wrong.

2019-09-21 22:31:40 UTC  

again, people always think that *they* are in the right. if you think youre doing the right thing, it's awfully easy to convince yourself that the ends justify the means

2019-09-21 22:31:55 UTC  

As the pendulum swings back we get periods of balance in society but it always ends up going too far in some direction.

2019-09-21 22:32:08 UTC  

It's a really curious part of the human condition that I'm not sure how to address.

2019-09-21 22:32:18 UTC  

This is why I put AntiFa, the KKK and BLM all in the same ilk.

2019-09-21 22:32:35 UTC  

They all follow the same criterium.

2019-09-21 22:32:53 UTC  

And all from the dems

2019-09-21 22:32:57 UTC  

Lol

2019-09-21 22:33:32 UTC  

That is absolutely true, Gamer. The mass majority of violent political groups have evolved from the Democrat party.

2019-09-21 22:33:43 UTC  

Is AntiFa, and BLM really that similar to the KKK?

2019-09-21 22:33:53 UTC  

Absolutely.

2019-09-21 22:33:54 UTC  

I have almost zero interactions with the KKK in the modern day

2019-09-21 22:34:00 UTC  

So I have no idea what they are up to

2019-09-21 22:34:13 UTC  

BLM and AntiFa are running rampant. The KKK seems kinda dead to me

2019-09-21 22:34:25 UTC  

Nimble, go to youtube. Find 'Louder with Crowder' and look for his undercover with AntiFa.

2019-09-21 22:34:56 UTC  

I remember the Joe Rogan podcast where he mentioned that

2019-09-21 22:35:09 UTC  

Antifa had weapons prepared

2019-09-21 22:35:12 UTC  

The KKK have been expanding. Many 'Alt Right' ideologies are pretty much KKKesque.

2019-09-21 22:35:54 UTC  

Heather Heyer was the only death at that rally. She died to a MVC.

2019-09-21 22:36:10 UTC  

ethnostate level nationalism would be kkkesque

2019-09-21 22:36:24 UTC  

@Brokkr Watching it now.

2019-09-21 22:36:32 UTC  

But most common racism is from the left

2019-09-21 22:36:32 UTC  

I think I've seen some clips of it before
