What points? I freely admit that I do not value the lives of nazis. We are enemies. I value your life exactly as little as you value mine. You're so used to people being afraid to fight back that you have no idea what to do or say except pointing and getting upset when your victims stand up to you. You demand explanations, but never earn them.
Do you really think a modern civil war will involve battle lines and trenches? The modern civil war is door to door. Neighbor to neighbor. As your side oppresses the public with nazi billionaire backers and media mind control, your victims are learning how to resist you on an interpersonal level. We aren't just disowning you en mass. We understand how your little evil minds work now. We know what scares you and what motivates you. We know what you are and are coming to our own conclusions on how to deal with the problem. It scares you. You are scared we will do to you what you do to your victims.
Do not mistake our ability to experience empathy for weakness. We are able to turn it off when dealing with our enemy, sparing it only for legitimate human interactions. Conservatives are biologically unable to experience empathy and it scares you. You are all confused why your relationships are so shallow and why family can so easily disown you. So, you become as purely evil and toxic as you can because it makes you feel powerful. Who needs the deep personal connections others have when you can feel powerful instead?
Not only can conservatives not experience empathy, but conservatives also choose to harm and oppress everyone around them. That choice is what turns a disability into genuine evil. These are the symptoms of conservatism. I would tell you to seek help, but all you would hear is "sieg heil".
What in the fuck are you even on about??
The only thing I've said this entire time, is that you, calling for the extermination of conservatives, is no different than the nazis calling for the extermination of the jews.
Everything else has been 100% you. You're the only one posting nazi slogans. You're the only one acting like a nazi. And you try SO HARD to convince yourself otherwise.
You're the one talking about civil wars. You're the one strawmanning my comments. You're the one who keeps ignoring the fact that calling for the extermination of a group of people makes you just like the nazis.
And youll ignore this too. Because you are seemingly not capable of admitting that calling for a genocide is nazi shit, regardless of how justified you think it is.
And your only argument is "victims fighting back against nazis with equal violence makes them nazis" as if both sides are the same. They fucking aren't.
Again youre making things up. I never said anything about fighting back, or that both sides are the same. You have to make up comments to keep justifying your beliefs to yourself.
Idk how many more comments you can make to keep dodging this lol. You can just admit "yeah its the same thinking as nazis but I think my reasoning justifies it."
Wild how disingenuous you are but im not suprised.
You are completely unhinged in your constant defense of nazism/conservatism. We are enemies, yet you expect me to "admit" to your made up nonsense. Is that what your victims normally do? Why on earth would you expect to be able to gaslight the victims of conservatives into calling themselves conservatives? Your entitlement is beyond arrogance.
