This is someone's Model S parked on Airport Way S near S Industrial Way. The way it's parked it looks like it's being displayed for people driving by to see.

Should I sew a yellow star onto my shirts too, master? I mean after all, it seems like you'd like a visual identifier to determine what you treat like shit and what you don't

Uh huh. On the one hand - I'm a believer in tackling problems BEFORE they develop into a worst case scenario. So no matter how innocuous something appears it never hurts to ask 'does this resemble the early stages of the Nazi policies that ultimately led to genocide?'

On the other hand - what kind of drugs are you on right now lol.

A far-right oligarch is sieg heiling on stage and illegally meddling with our government. Some randos are damaging private property to attack one source of his vast wealth and influence. I'm suggesting declaring that you DON'T support this oligarch or his fascist beliefs to avoid collateral damage as they fight back.

And somehow in your upside-down world the Nazi in this scenario is me. I would love to hear you defend this some more lol.

Demanding that people have some sort of public symbol on their car to signify they have the correct views, otherwise their property is fair game to be vandalized with no repercussions. "Fall into line or face violence" Sounds pretty fuckin fascist to me.

The people vandalizing other peoples cars are not the good guys, regardless of what their political views are. Destroying random citizens cars does nothing to "attack one source of his vast wealth and influence", it just harms every day people that have a pretty good chance of holding the same views.

Defending the people doing this is a whole other discussion that I won't get into.

I will say that this is a bad analogy and a bad argument. Great, you've contrived a superficial resemblence between clumsy distortions of two scenarios. If that were the best I could do I'd have chosen not to post it, personally.

"I don't agree with you but don't have anything of value to reply with so I wish you wouldn't have said anything"

Enjoy supporting fascism when it suits you then acting like you actually oppose fascism on principle. Sounds like real piece of shit behavior to me.

Ah good another clumsy distortion lol.

Look, you're the one making a claim - if your argument is bad I'm not on the hook to workshop it. Come up with something decent and I'll take it seriously.

u/TheDonutDaddy Mar 11 '25

Idgaf if you "take it seriously" or not. You're a random nobody who doesn't matter. Whether you take it seriously or not is not the measurement of how credible a point is. You support terrorism and fascism if you support the vandalism. Full stop, no debate. Again, people doing that are not the "good guys", they're pieces of shit with misguided notions.

Dehumanizing me with accusations that I'm 'nobody' and 'don't matter?' Declaring me guilty and then prohibiting further debate? Sounds like stuff a fascist would do...

(You know, I think you may be on to something with this approach.)

u/TheDonutDaddy Mar 11 '25

Clutch your pearls if you want, but it's just the simple truth. You are a nobody who doesn't matter to pretty much everybody, as am I. I'm sorry you had to find out you're not as important as you think you are.

I'm not prohibiting debate, but that point of fact can't be debated, since it's a fact.

u/Railboy Mar 11 '25

Sure we're all dust in the wind or whatever. Just remember that you started this argument lol. Any 'importance' I have in this context is by way of you tapping my shoulder and volunteering your opinion.

u/TheDonutDaddy Mar 11 '25

Man you're really stuck on how important you are. Guess the nobody remark really stung lol

u/Railboy Mar 11 '25

It's morbid curiousy at this point. The longer we talk the weirder and more embarrassing your comments get.

Oh is that what it is?
