Nah. I mean I am over forty, but the last time I got a paper paycheck was probably only about 20 years ago. It was a lot more common if you work for smaller businesses up until the mid oughts, bcs direct deposit wasn't as easily or cheaply available as it became once ADP got embedded in QuickBooks.

I mean it's fiction. That part isn't half as unbelievable as the cops and feds being the good guys

Children should be required to get all vaccines as recommended by medical professionals. .

The real takeaway here is that Jeffries will happily compromise with MAGA before even considering a compromise with the left wing of his own party. If your personal politics are to the left of Kissinger, you have no business staying in their right wing party.

Hell following with 'em is just out of frame

Nah, if the Dems win a majority there will be some Republican procedural trick that they will do nothing to try to overcome that will make MFA "impossible". That'll be in between the midterms and "fuck everyone".

Anything but holding the ecocidal narcissists responsible for the mayhem their pollution powered people pressers do, right?

Hey look! One of the couple dozen people the status quo is working for has a Lemmy!

Wait, I've seen this one before...

If people wanna talk about his underage girlfriends from forty years ago have at it. Acting like this is at all the same thing is infantilizing the adult woman he's dating, and it just shows how utterly broken some people's minds are when the subject of sex comes up.

Then talk about that, not him currently dating an adult woman.

They just don't know how to argue with someone who doesn't simply accept popular narratives without evidence and won't let them cite "it is known" as a source.

Failing to understand how they can call it racist when the article even mentions you can substitute almost any descriptor (including "someone from Virginia Beach") and get the same general advice about what to do if you feel threatened or intimidated.

Is it incredibly stupid? Yes. Is it racist? Doesn't seem to be.

Now i know you're arguing in bad faith.

For the second or third time in this thread: The other nine Nazis aren't Nazis bcs of their proximity to a Nazi, but because of their willingness to socialize with a Nazi.

You're deliberately misrepresenting anti-Nazi arguments to try to defend people who are happily supporting Nazism. If you're not a Nazi you'll do til someone actually starts goose stepping and throwing out Roman salutes.

What I say, and you deny is that not every person who voted republican support a militarized ethostate.

Given that the candidate they voted for was pretty open about his intentions to push for a militarized ethnostate, what you say suitable for fertilizing crops. At a bare minimum, every Republican Voter considers Nazism to be at least not a deal-breaker. And that brings us back to that table with 10 Nazis.

The point you keep missing is that there is bad beyond nazism.

No, I'm not missing that, it's just not relevant to your original argument (people who call out Nazis call everyone they disagree with a Nazi). Let's stay on topic here. Saying "people call everyone they disagree with a Nazi" and then giving two examples that are both totally valid callouts of Nazism is carrying Nazis' water. If you're making the same arguments against people calling out Nazis that Nazis make, then you're doing Nazis' work, regardless of what your intentions may have been.

Nobody says "everyone I don't like is a Nazi". But a lot of Nazis, who are rightly disliked by most people for being Nazis seem the see things that way.

Never heard "they call anyone with a different opinion a Nazi!" where the opinion in question didn't turn out to be some real Nazi shit.

True. However given that they're the largest "lifestyle" contributor to climate change (as opposed to things in the agricultural sector), vandalizing one in response to it simply existing seems like a slight under reaction, if anything.

republican or other type of nazi

The Republican party is currently openly supporting the idea of masked secret police disappearing people off the streets and sending them to concentration camps based on their race.

Yes, Republicans are Nazis. Yes, that includes the ones you're friendly with.

I have beef with both parties, so if that's what I were doing, I'd be saying it about a lot more than the third of the country that's openly decided to support Nazism. As far as everyone else, your argument still fails to persuade, because the statement "Republicans are a subtype of Nazi" is factually correct by any reasonable analysis. So no, even at that scale it isn't "everyone who doesn't think like me" it's "everyone supporting this plainly Nazi shit we're seeing daily in real time".

I've also seen a lot of the time the argument "if you have a table of 10 people sitting with 1 nazi, you have 10 nazis"

That's the crux of the paradox of tolerance. People who are tolerant of Nazis have the same net effect on society as Nazis themselves. Making no distinction between someone who openly supports throwing people into camps based only on their race and people who don't actually support it but are fine enough with it to have a friendly dinner with someone who does is again, the objectively correct position.

It sounds to me like you're either the Republican variety of Nazi or the "apolitical go-along-with-it" style of Nazi and you're looking for validation that you aren't a Nazi. You won't find that here. It's not because I disagree with you, it's because you're openly arguing for tolerance of Nazis.

Yeah, I apparently did miss that part. Somehow I missed all the text in between two of the images, including that. That's pretty terrible.

Using your example, that means the Democrats are also Nazis; they've also used ICE (with masks) to deport millions of people at gunpoint for concentration camps and/or deportment.

No argument here, but that wasn't the point under discussion.
