if you're threatening to go full nazi, you have already gone full nazi

[solarbird]

If you're saying "vanish forever or we'll go full Nazi and genocide you," then you have already gone full Nazi. You're just looking for the right strategy to get what you want.

I mean, if you're actually afraid of this, if you're actually against that happening, and you're in his position, there are things you can do.

Things he's not doing.

He could dismiss some of the lies, dispute them, separate them off from any core complaints they might have.

He's not. He's spreading them further.

He could grant LGBT people status as people, rather than calling us "degeneracy."

He's not. He's heightening the hate rhetoric.

He could do many things that would actually calm the situation, to lower the heat.

But he does not. And he will not, because he does not want to.

And that's why this - all of this - is not a warning, but a threat.

They'll make every one of us illegal again if they can. They'll take every step they can towards that, as they can. And what they want, is us gone.

For a start, anyway.

I agree. This is one of the Threats That Must Never Be Tolerated.

[solarbird]

Yeah, really is.

====Yep. Utterly true.

===Tolerance of difference is a sin to these people….they make that VERY clear, even those who say they “just do not want to see it…you can be that way out of sight”.

"if you're threatening to go full nazi, you have already gone full nazi"

This is so true. If you're at the point where you think the argument made by this guy is in ANY WAY acceptable, then you're already there? Like, seeing Nazi behavior as a reasonable response to ANYTHING suggests you're just generally okay with Nazi behavior? Disgusting that this will probably only boost his career rather than end it.

"...willing to accept *anything* to make [social degeneracy / people conducting their private lives in ways you don't approve of / people having fun without you] stop" is classic deal-with-the-devil territory. And deals with the devil are *never* a good idea.
