@Zar:
- Yes, part of it was petty. But you're still missing the point that
That you made a choice, a petty choice, acknowledge it as such. And yet seem to think this is something to be coddled.
when you're silenced to that degree logic can go out the window.
The level of silencing here makes me start wondering what the view point was.
Because lets be honest, some stuff SHOULDN'T be acceptable. The horror of Trump was making a million terrible things normalized.
Part of me felt that if I voted for those idiots it'd send a message that silencing people and ignoring these problems wasn't right, that people were angry,
Using living people as your spite chess piece, by which I mean the refugees, is what makes this just not excusable.
And don't tell me that the only options were whatever these people were and a far right party.
and they risked the well-being
So do you by giving support to fascist lite parties.
(some refugees almost froze to death due to having nowhere to sleep) of the people who came here for refugee.
Inadequate housing seems like an issue that would be really really really hard to bring up and be called racist over. Like how do you do that.
They couldn't even handle the situation properly, what with the 30 year old "children" taking up children's resources, problems with the border and so forth. The government made rash decisions without consulting the affected people and every party except SD refused to be event he least critical of how it was handled.
This sounds like utter hyperbole. And as I mentioned doesn't even make sense.
Thankfully people started opening up once things got bad, but that period was still frustrating. I was also still in my teens if that counts for anything.
To be fair it kinda does. But then again you're still extending that excuse to millions of not teens. And therein is my problem.
And two, we're not talking about racism as a whole, we're talking about groups of people deemed racist because they're republican or voted trump.
The latter is the same exact thing as considering voting the SD party. Whatever reason you have, at best your somehow clueless of the racism of the candidate. Which is inexcusable because…be informed of politics if you vote...and yeah like...
One of my classmates who is black voted for Trump, is he racist?
In my experience black Republicans tend to be quite racist yes, with it taking a heavily classist angle. We had this discussion before, about the internal bigotry in groups when people manage to look down on the rest of their demographic. I brought up my dad recalling his grandfather taking him down to a more lower class Italian part of the city and saying "Let's go see the wops.".
Yes its also bad. And of course he's supporting a guy racist and otherwise bigoted against non-black (or religious) groups too.
