“They’re afraid of losing friends, being ridiculed in class, getting worse grades and are even afraid of being assaulted and physically hurt.”
good
no, not good. because if we hate them as much as Trump and his supporters hate certain groups, we are no better than they are.
yeah I am
“if you hate these bigots you’re just as bigoted as they are”
This “we’re no better than them” mentality makes the critical mistake that hate itself is the problem.
Hate is not the problem. At all. Hate can be constructive. Hate can be defensive and come from righteous outrage.
The problem is irrational hate towards innocent people.
Hating a racist is COMPLETELY fucking different from hating a race. A whole race didn’t do anything wrong. A racist did. Hating the racist is 100% proportionate, justifiable retaliation.
Fucking. Mic. Drop.
The reason that hate groups like the Klan have been driven so near to extinction is because of this exact thing. It became unfashionable to be publicly racist, and the backlash against those kinds of groups became unbearable for them. It drove them out of the limelight and into the very fringes of society.
This postmodern “hating the hate makes you just as bad” bullshit is what’s allowing them to re-prosper.
Fuck that.
Expose them. Make them lose their friends. Ridicule them in classes. If you can get away with it, beat their asses. Show them what it means that we will not go back to that way of life again. It’s time for the racists to be the ones who live in fear.
Hating bigotry does not a bigot make.
Imma just leave this here
The paradox of tolerance is that you cannot ever tolerate intolerance of any name or nature or tolerance itself will be snuffed out.
Punch your local Nazi. Make them bleed.
People of color, Jewish people, queer and trans people, immigrants, and a whole bunch of people can never truly exercise the full extent of their freedom of speech so long as Nazis are exercising their freedom of speech. You literally cannot let everyone have unlimited freedom when a big group of people wants to use their freedom to, at best, keep other groups of people from being free, and at worst wants to keep other groups of people from being alive. It is 100% impossible to accommodate the viewpoints of every single person at the same time.
So you actually have to choose whose rights you want to preserve. There is nothing to be gained by defending facists’ right to free speech, as doing that inherently attacks the free speech of a bunch of other people. You have to choose, you can’t be wishy washy about this. Not making a choice just means choosing the status quo, and the status quo sucks. Actively fight facists.
If you’re such a “revolutionary,” why won’t you describe to me all of your political activities in explicit detail and share the names of all your known associates 🤔
The only good thing about this article is the cosplayers themselves. The write-up for Lorna is trash. As shown below.
Polaris is yet another classic X-Men character, with mutant abilities
that are almost exactly the same as Magneto’s. This led to a storyline
where Magneto claimed to be her father, although it was later revealed
that this Magneto was just an android.
She may not be an entirely popular choice to cosplay, but Polaris is
probably going to become more popular due to her inclusion in the show The Gifted. We might end up seeing more cosplays like this one, done by CheekerCosplay (photograph by FirstPerson Shooter).
The article writer deliberately omits the fact that she’s been confirmed as Magneto’s daughter.
This shot right here is literally the ONLY thing good to come out of Rob Zombie’s Halloween movies. This one short ten second scene at the very end of the second movie featuring, Laurie, or I should say Angel Myers, locked away in a mental health facility smirking evilly.
Like that smirk kills me dead.
I disagree on the “only thing good” part. I love his Halloween II specifically because it focuses on Laurie’s trauma after the first film, how she tries to deal with everything that happened, how her life changed afterward. I didn’t care for how it ended at all, but before the ending, I liked.
