I hate the “don’t punch Nazis” argument. It’s ignorant of what Goals they have for society and whitewashes them as “Free Speech Fanatics” when they aren’t. - eviltoast

A lil context for why I get so worked up about it more than most. My grandma lived in East Poland(current day Belarus) and when Nazis came, my grandma’s family fled east while her father fought. Long story short, the kids(grandma and siblings) were the ones that survived and were split up across the globe. That’s the Super streamlined version. So when Bill Maher says “oh I didn’t like Nazis either but you can’t punch someone who’s not doing anything” I want to punch HIM too. The implicit support is a lesson to learn from. Also why didn’t the US kill the last Nazi collaborator living in Queens,NY instead of deportation? Watch the part where Chuck Schumer explains the deportation if you wanna cringe. https://youtu.be/nW8sC9JA2Is https://youtu.be/KzW8NYeQbo4 These are the 2 vids that inspired this. I think the main reason people should workout is so that when they punch a Nazi, they don’t get back up.TL;DR: My grandma was affected by Nazis, now libs are “tolerant” of them.

    Nah, I don’t fuck with Reddit atheists at all. Not all atheists, I am one, but I don’t make it a personality and I don’t call religious people backwards. They are the type who look down on religious people. They make fun of Islamic, Christian and Jewish beliefs and practices. They loved(not as much these days) posting jokes about Hindu beliefs and calling them stupid for not being enlightened or something. They are hostile especially towards Muslims, the r/atheism sub is full of “take off the hijab” type shit and “look at how these people waste their weekends/waste their life praying”.
