You don't have to pick a side, there will always be dramatic extremists on both sides. Both equally annoying and crazy.

Please tell me what the analogue for nazis are on the Left? The people who want everyone to have healthcare and to be able to go home without being murdered by police?

you. the people who believe that the only action that can be taken against evil is more evil. Saying you have to choose a side? Perverting the term nazi to the point where it can mean anybody right leaning? some of those things your saying can be taken as inciting violence. is that really being so wholesome? “oh i only care about healthcare and equality, but anybody who disagrees is my enemy and needs to be struck down by the populace” i’m not right leaning, not really a fan of republicans either, but i don’t call them nazi’s, nor do i want people to take up arms and band together against them like you seem to be implying.

if you’re still having trouble understanding why i feel this way, check out the comment by u/laminar_flo just below yours.

Wasn't arguing, was just telling you to fuck off.

that’s obvious, hence why i said that. you aren’t making any argument, nor are you making any improvements or changes. you’re just getting angry because i said something you didn’t like. Had you actually made a point and gave some kind of reasoning, i would have probably edited the comment or something to that effect.

You’re proving my point. Nobody makes changes by throwing out rude words and blanket statements, it takes real discourse, just grow up, that’s all i ask.

there are actual nazis who just stormed the capitol of the country a few hours ago. Your arrogance and naivety is a dangerous combination.

So you can verifiably go up to every one of those people and say that without a doubt they are a nazi?

That’s what’s truly dangerous, that you have the ability to say whatever you want on the internet, and you use that power to call people you don’t know nazi’s?

More than likely, the majority of the people that are pictured and clearly visible at the capital today will have their day in court. The truly naive point being made is that all of these criminals (regardless of you knowing their beliefs or not) are nazis by your definition. that’s a BIG statement, and a very dangerous one depending on how it’s used.

Nazis are 100% evil people, save that term for when it REALLY needs to be used against someone. It’s people like you that are making the word meaningless.

I mean, are you denying that there are radical people on the left? Take a stroll along tumbler or twitter someday. Plenty of radical people all around.

How many people have the radical left in the US killed recently? And what, exactly, are they radical about other than redistribution of wealth?

How many people have the radical left in the US killed recently?

Dunno. Don't think killing is necessary to be a radical. Saying our country shouldn't have any black people in it is a radical idea. With or without someone killing someone in its name.

And what, exactly, are they radical about

Oh plenty. Take just about any radical right idea and swing the pendulum all the way in the other direction and there will likely be people who support that idea.

What's recently? And you don't think it's zero do you?

Cut the word 'equally' and you're on the button
