@Zeusdelight [quote]How on Earth do you know what his behaviour was? There is not enough in the video to say what has happened.

The OP should have posted the entire video if it was available. Maybe it wasn't. What I see is a guy getting attacked while backing up in a non-threatening way by a larger guy. That is a deliberate assault by the larger guy.

@BohemianBoo Does that also apply to the Black Panther party???
@thedarkside As much as I dislike the Black Panthers, they're not authoritarian.
@BohemianBoo Yeah, but it wouldn't be SW without some whataboutism.
And so it goes! The left is powerless.

Oh boy, you got us there...but there's an explanation why you speak Nazi fluently.

@Roundandroundwego
@Vin53 just quoting Vonnegut, wasn't aware he was one.

@SW-User And the Repugs go wait, hold my beer! 😖
At this point, I kind of feel like we should do what Germany did, and make it illegal to promote Nazism or anything resembling it.

@LordShadowfire [quote]Nobody is incapable of explaining the ideas that Nazism promotes. I just never thought I'd meet somebody so fucking stupid they didn't know.[/quote]

I know that you are capable of expressing complex ideas. I asked you a legitimate question about a serious topic. You seem to have some knowledge about the topic so I asked you to make some relevant comments about it.

If I have over-estimated your knowledge simply say so.
@Diotrephes I very much doubt it was an honest question, which is why I didn't answer. It felt more like a gotcha question.

Maybe you have read and thought about my opinions on this topic. I try to be objective and state verifiable facts.

If people have a problem with that they can offer their own rational opinion to present another view. That's how we learn.

In the event you do offer a comprehensive opinion on the topic I will read it and may see an opportunity or two to refute what you wrote. You should do the same to my comments.

We are supposed to be reasonably intelligent adults. We all have different life experiences but we had no part in those earlier events. We base our opinions upon what others have written and on our own biases. In such instances one of us could be right, we could both be right, or we could both be wrong.

So, don't be reluctant to engage in an open and frank discussion about any topic. While I have lots of opinions I certainly don't know everything and I'm not embarrassed to admit that. But, the good point is that in such cases it gives me direction to explore new things that I have been ignorant about.

The Nazis got everything they knew about being Nazis from the Americans. So, you want to ban the American Way?

@Vin53 [quote]I did post that video.[/quote]

That led to the subsequent discussion. So, if you see no value in discussing the issue maybe you shouldn't have posted the video clip.

What's to discuss? See a Nazi, punch a Nazi.

Full stop.

Given your strong feelings, maybe you can list some characteristics or actions of Nazis that you find so disagreeable. Are they the only group that you find so offensive?

How is the bible any more or less plausible than Tolkien or Star Wars?
