It is wrong to criticise people AS NAZIs for holding a view or having a grievance with which you do not agree..... if that standard were applied, the world is overflowing with NAZIs of all stripes...
I don't necessarily agree with SSM (etc) - but I don't run around labeling the gays who support that 'supremacist' or 'NAZI' or (???) 'racist' ..... fair's fair...
Open discussion works better every time.... rather than childish confrontation...
And yet absolutely nobody is doing that.
These terms ''white supremacy" etc just came out of nowhere? None of these 'antifa' personages uttered them? The media isn't daily screeching these terms as if they are real definitions of those involved?
None so blind as they who will not see.
Please verify with links etc... thus far in these 'discussions' of 'white supremacy' etc, I have yet to see one single thing that indicates that those involved were pursing 'white supremacy'..... it seems to me that they were primarily protesting about some very stupid decision of a local council that over-stepped its rights and authorities, in seeking to degrade the value of history and of historical characters......
Is stating that 'white lives matter' any different from stating 'black lives matter'?
I can't see any 'white supremacy' in that.. let alone 'neo-NAZIsm or 'racism' - which are the words being bandied about.
At what point will these self-proclaimed 'freedom fighters' see that permitting a council to do such things will also apply to them and their own values.... I can envisage nothing more stupid than in-fighting while the Sheriff of Nottingham runs off to the bank....
The real enemy of all is overbearing government, which historically has been THE most destructive influence on this planet.
So - in that context - which are the 'freedom fighters' and which the 'oppressors' here?
I know how hard it is to answer simple questions with a little fact and fair reasoning - and how much easier it is to suggest that anyone who disagrees is 'delusional' etc - but do try.
