Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

You see, in my imagination, the nazis were absolute evils, doing evil thing for the sake of evil, like some saturday morning cartoon villain. I, on the other hand, always present evidence, such as certain groups being overrepresented in crime, and I even make up statistics about race and IQ. The nazis didn't, they just killed Jews and the Roma, so they could be the most evil in history.

I sometimes fear that
people think that fascism arrives in fancy dress
worn by grotesques and monsters
as played out in endless re-runs of the Nazis.

Fascism arrives as your friend.
It will restore your honour,
make you feel proud,
protect your house,
give you a job,
clean up the neighbourhood,
remind you of how great you once were,
clear out the venal and the corrupt,
remove anything you feel is unlike you...

It doesn't walk in saying,
"Our programme means militias, mass imprisonments, transportations, war and persecution."

So magats are like Nazis, but without the good job market. Magats slid into what they are for less than what the Nazis got. Gross.

Less than what the Nazis got, with all the knowledge and history about Nazis at their fingertips, and with their ancestors having fought Nazis. Disgusting, pathetic, losers.

"They're not hurting the right people"

Magats are worse because they are in it for the evil.
