Yeah, I remember during World War II, the Fascists were really giving the Nazis hell. Just classic fascism.

I mean, that's a pretty common narrative. "They were being ATTACKED for being racist so they became MORE RACIST." And? There's this black guy. They did this documentary on him a while back. He went and befriended KKK…
I mean, if banning Nazi'ism is considered 'state censorship' then yes, I wholeheartedly support state censorship. If that's 'imposing someone's truth on everyone else', so be it.
Name three podcasts since there are 'a lot of black supremacists'.
Honestly, I would prefer that over the ambiguity. I'd much rather live in a state in America where being a Nazi is illegal with the side effect of knowing, unequivocally, that I need to leave another state because my…

I think that's really easy to believe in - when you're not at risk in any kind of way. I mean, if you're a white guy, what do you give a fuck about someone turning America into a white ethnostate? Sure, theoretically,…

"Different people have different risk tolerances and people with lower risk tolerances disgust me." Okay, gotcha.
It's not so much 'people who left California are Republicans" but more, 'people who post on social media about how they're leaving California -are- Republicans".
I would have agreed with you... up until the pandemic. If we didn't live in a car dependent country, way more people I know would have died. You -could- make the argument that we'd probably be healthier and thus,…

This is a really arrogant attitude that reeks of the 'pull yourself up by your bootstrap' bullshit.
"Wokeness" is the just this century's "politically correct", except almost no one has ever seriously talked about respecting being 'woke' in the context you're talking about.
Alright, engineers, let's reference that seminal work: 3 Little Pigs.
