Dear Right-Wing Extremists,

@dale74 I don't care about those details. All I want is a smaller number of right-wing extremists in the streets, and a larger number in the graveyard; so I try to encourage them to stay away from any covid vaccine.

@helenS I don't see how any person with any kind of a moral compassion which they say liberals are could ever wish people to be in a graveyard I think that is hateful and spiteful and I think you should really consider your moral character if that is the way you truly feel I don't care if I just like everything about somebody I'm not going to wish them death just for their political beliefs they would have to have harmed someone in my family for me to do something like that.

@dale74 Right-wing extremism is a [b]crime[/b], not a political belief. If you think I'm wrong, ask some Jewish survivors.

@dale74 the far right refers to Nazis, racists and fascists. The grave is the only place they belong.

@basilfawlty89 Nazis and fascists believe in socialism that's your left not the right. Just because the Democrats have been lying to you for the past 14 years doesn't mean they're right take some time and actually do some research on exactly what the philosophies of Nazis and fashion star and as far as racist they're racist everywhere and there are racist on both political sides there's only one race and it's the human race and anyone that throws out talking about others being racist or normally exaggerating their own beliefs.

@dale74 lolno. Political scientists and historians place Nazis and fascists on the far right, because they stand for extreme nationalism, traditionalism, hierarchy and militarism. Leftists oppose all that. Nazis did not believe in socialism, the term privatisation was coined in reference to Nazi economic policies.

@basilfawlty89 and based on your age you've been brainwashed your entire high school and college career go look it up from independent sources not just what your professors are forcing down your throat.

@dale74 I have, you haven't. The Economist literally coined the term privatisation in reference to the Nazis.

As to the rest, I've actually read Mein Kampf. Are you going to tell me Hitler didn't know his ideology?

[quote]there's only one race and it's the human race[/quote]

Right, except lots of white people, particularly Republicans in the US at the moment, really do not want people of color to have the same rights as them. Goes back to the founding of the country, and we've struggled to right that wrong ever since.

I'm (kind of) with you on not wishing death on anyone, however, I am a firm believer in our interaction with Karma - I try to bank acts of kindness and positivity, so that I reap the same. I see an awful lot of hate towards humanity coming from the right wing these days, so I fear they will reap a bitter harvest at some point.
@dale74

@MildlyInappropriate first of all almost every job I've ever worked at I was actually the minority and trust me there is more reverse racism out there than anybody would believe I have heard things the way other races talk about white folks that would make your skin crawl. But like I've always said there's one race and it's the human race and racist come in all shapes sizes and colors all the racist is is someone that believes that they are superior to another race as in color not human race.

And you've frequently feared for your life at a routine traffic stop, I assume?@dale74

@MildlyInappropriate the statistics do not back up the liar you're spewing look up how many unarmed blacks have been shot in a traffic encounter and how many whites have been shot at a trafficking counter there is vastly no comparison far more white people are shot

It seems that I've hit a sore spot?

All of the words you put in that sentence still didn't answer the question that I posed.

You can call me any name you'd like, but it doesn't change how things are in this country at this point in time. @dale74

@MildlyInappropriate first of all if you get pulled over for a traffic violation and you're fearing for your life you've been raised in the wrong type of mentality you've been taught to fear police all of your life that's where the mistake happened. Having been in law enforcement although it was about 8 years ago I never wrote a child of African descent or even an adult a ticket ever always gave warnings. Because so many people in the community that they grow up in are always telling them watch out for the police they'll take you to jail they don't have a chance but it's not the police that did it it's their own families friends a neighborhoods. It's not the law enforcement officers it's their own family and friends who have created the issue.

I get it, you're white, so you have nothing to fear, and believe that no one else does either.

Other people have a vastly different experience in this country, regardless of whether or not you are willing to acknowledge that.

Also, your conclusion that the communities themselves are to blame for police violence because they are telling their kids to watch out for the police? I may need some additional context to better understand your point there.

In my experience, the talk given to a white kid before he goes out the door on a date, and the same talk given to a black kid doing the same exact activity are VASTLY different. I don't recall getting any warnings that made me (legitimately) fear for my life, but I have heard a version of that speech given to black kids and it has broken my heart.

Again, I get it that in your mind, this isn't how it should be, so for you, it isn't. This isn't a problem. And you're right. Since you don't have to personally deal with it, it isn't a problem for you.

But it is for me, even though I'm white, because it's wrong. And since we know better, we should do better.

Do I know exactly what that looks like? Nope. But I keep trying to put one good step after another until I find myself in a better place.

@dale74

@MildlyInappropriate I think you just want to point fingers at everything except the actual problem

What is the actual problem then? @dale74
