Who's bluff are you calling and who is us in let's call their bluff?

People like me who are kind, sensitive, caring, and fully embrace our own identities.

Yes, it's time again to remember the wonderful hate groups that seem to spring up from time to time. Extreme right vs. extreme left. Both sides ignorant, both sides intolerant, and both full of hate, in fact, so full of hate, they almost cancel each other out. So I have realized a wonderful way to capitalize on this, make it a teachable moment, and help a worthy cause.

Since when has a difference of opinion become HATE?

There is always a reverse side to ANY opinion...... since when has that become

HATE?

There are as many differences of opinion as there are religions, and nationalities

What IS missing in the world is respect and tolerance.

Feel free to enhance the idea, as this is just a first draft. Oh, and for all the haters, Hate nicely.

^^^^^^ Respect and tolerance would be a start!! ^^^^^^

It depends upon the costumes the participants will be wearing too

So if you hate Nazis you’re as bad as the Nazis?

Is that the narrative everyone is expected to swallow now?

False equivalency as the way forward?

I don't respect Nazis

I accept that they have the right to express themselves short of violence. I stop tolerating them when they try to make their views a reality

But what if, like, what if most of them nazi's on the right, yeah, like, what if they're not actually nazi's?

I know I know, close your eyes, plug your ears and yell "MoooOOoooM, The Nazi's are saying things again!!!"

Then when you've sufficiently denied any and all cognitive dissonance, you can get back to hating them gosh darned white peo.. I mean nazi'z.

When the opinion is used to justify genocide, wouldn't you say?

a reply to: Sillyolme

Just keep tellin' yourself that.

Evidence indicates otherwise. Not everyone on the left hates, 'tis true, but a goodly number of them do. As with the haters on the right.

Isn't that exactly what you are doing? ...... What is your defination of a Nazi?


Urban Dictionary
An acronym for National Socialist; from the German NAtionale soZIalist.
Refers to members of the National Socialist party, or anything to do with the National Socialist party.

OR

Is it simply someone who has a different opinion than yours?

Your hating on makes you little different from them!!

I must live a very sheltered life ..... I dont know of anyone who justify's genocide.


I can't see how one can HATE because someone holds an opinion that is in

opposition to anothers, INDIFFERENCE I can understand.

so you don't think the alt right white supremacists are bad folks, or ANTIFA are bad folks? Are they just misunderstood? Perhaps their violence is just due to them being persecuted?

Labels get thrown around like confetti .... all adding to pushing a hate agenda.

IF white supremacists exist then surely so must black supremacists? You'll always

find a certain type of person always inches away from a fight.


ANTIFA?? Antifacism......
Fascism is a form of government which is a type of one-party dictatorship.

We have democracy in the west, the nearest to fascism is the EU I dont

like the EU..... does that make me BAD? does that make me a violent

antifa? I'm not violent and who cares what names anyone calls me

the old adage holds good 'sticks and stones' and all that.


As for violence it comes in all shapes and sizes and is not limited to any

particular calling and usually comes from personal lack of self control and

a sense of entitlement.

No. I know the difference between regular people and Nazis. The Nazis aren't shy and are pretty easily identified

I don't respect them. Why is this a problem for you?

Your hating on makes you little different from them!!

Hate is a useless emotion. I never said I hated them, I said I don't respect their views. I also said I stop tolerating them when they try to make their views a reality

Do you know what the Nazis want?

You said I hated them. So - an incorrect assumption on your part. I don't like them. At all

Why do you think I should love the Nazis?
