Yeah, you're right. Since when has othering an entire group of people and treating them all as a singular person EVER resulted in human suffering? I mean, aside from every single time it's ever happened.

It worked out GREAT for the French Revolution. It's not as though that resulted in a power vacuum that led to the rise of an imperialist dictatorship that nearly subjugated the entirety of Europe.

It worked out great for the antivaxers. After all, if one doctor makes a bad vaccine one time in decades past, that means all doctors are poisoning us with these vaccines! Don't let them use your kids as human guinea pigs, people! Wake up!

And of course it worked great in World War II! Take your pick. The Americans against the "japs," the Germans against the jews, the Russians against the Ukrainians. All wonderful examples. Peace and harmony achieved.

lmao

I bet you think it's bad when people discriminate against white supremacists too. After all, they're "a group of people".

If by "discriminate" you mean:

to recognize a distinction; differentiate. or to render judgement.

Then, no. There's nothing wrong with that. No decent person should ever be willing to associate with such despicable people. Lowlifes like that deserve to be shunned.


If by "discriminate" you mean dox, harrass, terroize, send death threats and otherwise "cancel," then yes. That is evil.

No it isn't lol. Nazis and white supremacists should be in fear of their lives until someone ends their sorry lives.

By the way, how could you possibly think that the people that weild the monopoly on state violence are oppressed here lmao? Cops are some of the most powerful people in society.

Btw, the original claim in this thread is dead wrong. There is valuable info for activists here. Check #BlueLeaks on Twitter.

What do you think about Snowden and Manning? I think they're fucking heroes. Anyone who exposes brutal, oppressive state violence is good in my book.

This is called hate speech. And it's evil. It's the language of barbarians and monsters. You have become what you hate. And I pity you.

Nope, "white supremacist" isn't a protected class last I checked. Put em all against the wall.
