  • It’s not so much values as it is a lack of power in the working class. These things can be done because the greater population has no power or influence. Since their is no organization to resist it the mass of the population falls into two areas of “cope”. The crowd that knows it’s fucked up and has no one to organize against it. And the crowd that knows it’s fucked up but “no one is doing anything” so they find a place to normalize or deny it. It’s not “really” a Nazi salute.

    You may call this “values”. But I’d say it’s more about how well the ruling class has controlled and passified the population.

    Also, when half the country is worried about putting food on the table or paying rent. They really don’t have time to give a fuck. Material conditions really shape what we might perceive as a “lack of values”.

    You realize arguing against your own strawman is not addressing my argument right? I guess you just convinced yourself that I actually said “any type of insult is acceptable”. I never said that. YOU said that. Everything you’ve said since then has been pointless rambling and arguing against something I never said.



  • 10,000 people detained out of how many tourists worldwide going to china? Like, I’m just trying to get some context because (1) a massive amount of people visit China every year and (2) how does this compare to other countries. A person being “detained” could literally just be a traffic stop or any other interaction with a police officer.

    I guess my point is the article is purposely vague. How would this compare per tourist to the US for example?

    Also, what you’re mentioning is not at all what I mentioned originally. Which was about the article and Taiwan. You changed the subject to worldwide in order to make the number larger. Which, obviously it would be.

    Edit: Asking about actual per capita comparison between countries is bad apparently. I guess “China bad” is heavier than getting actual data. Something this article completely fails to provide.




  • Tell me. What is the difference between the swastika or the salute? I’m gonna guess the main difference is you haven’t read 100 reply guys trying to come up with any reason to deny he’s a Nazi. Do you know who does that? Nazis. Nazis know that it’s still not expectable to be a Nazi. So they will always try to get you to “not believe your lying eyes”. While always doing dog whistles to signal to other Nazis. But this salute wasn’t a dog whistle. It was a fucking mega phone.

    Thanks for ignoring everything I said and responding with a straw man. Good job.

    “Nuh uh. You are! And here’s a totally different thing that removes all nuance so I can ignore what you just said!”

    That’s literally how you just replied. I guess you have no interest in actually discussing this because you’ve gone full circle into stupidity now.

    At the end of the day you’re criticizing something that is meant to insult a Nazi. If you can understand the difference between a homophobic person puting a “I suck cock” sticker on a car and (let’s say) a gay man putting a “Nazi Cocksucker” sticker on someone’s car. You can also understand the nuance of any type of person puting the OPs sticker on someone’s car. There is nuance and context that you are trying to remove to (1) criticize a sticker meant to insult a Nazi and (2) the use of cocksucker as an insult.

    You’re removing any of that context to hyper focus on something and pretend that nuance and context doesn’t exist. Which is very very radlib of you.

    The only person that you’re defending in this situation that should actually be offended is a female or gay Nazi. So you’re literally just defending the feelings of a Nazi. Unless you want to remove all context and nuance. Which is what you tried to do.

    I’m calling you a liberal as in a radlib sjw type liberal. I thought that was really obvious because it’s how you’re acting. I’m not calling you a capital L Liberal. Yes, words can more than one meaning and can also be offensive or not offensive given the context. But I guess it’s obvious you don’t understand the meaning of words or any nuance to how they are used. I mean that’s kind of how this whole conversation started.
