    . LGBT/African Americans have all been discriminated against for centuries. They had laws against them. Name one law against a white person that also doesn't apply to a black person.

    Are there any laws against a black person that doesn't also apply to a white person?

    Just that historical injustice has been recognised in modern laws by demanding that everybody gets equal treatment.

    I find those modern laws very easy to follow. I think they're great. For that reason I think people that attack others based on the race or political views should be prevented and prosecuted.

    we wish to make it great by making sure everyone is on equal footing

    Then why are you defending the suggestion that some animals are treated as being more equal than others?

    Sounds like illegal discrimination to me, and fuck all to do with actual equality.

    I can't mod you because I'm replying to you instead.

    Terrorists shot people in Paris.
    They then shot people again in Paris.
    They shot people in Holland when I was living in Germany
    They shot people in Northern Ireland.

    According to you, that makes anybody that shoots someone a terrorist.

    The incident in Charlottesville does not look like a pre-planned and intentional attempt to kill multiple people with a large vehicle. Shitty choice of vehicle, no follow-up, very different behaviour from the driver to the other incidents you've quoted.

    It's possible for people to commit crimes without it being terrorism. The police certainly think so, they've charged him with murder and not terror related charges - and that's the police that fucking chose not to prevent illegal demonstrators turning up with weapons and assaulting a legal demonstration.

    If they don't think it's terrorism then this is not pretty obviously terrorism. Call it what it is: Suspected murder or manslaughter. Those are serious crimes and will be prosecuted using actual laws with very severe punishments. Why the fuck isn't that good enough for you?

    On the Reddit website there's a discussion forum titled StormfrontorSJW in which I believe people post comments such as the one to which you replied, and invite people to guess whether it was written by a neo-nazi or someone that could be described as a social justice warrior.

    I don't frequent it, but the times on which I've seen it referenced it does turn out to be bloody scarily impossible to tell.

    Which is one reason it's interesting to see so many technology companies shutting down only one side of the extremist dialogue.

    Hitler didn't want to exterminate the Jews.

    I hate to point at the available evidence, but whether he wanted to or not, he and his regime sure as fuck put a lot of effort into it.

    the Balfour Declaration which was a pact between Zionists and Great Brittan to establish Israel by using the war machine on Palestine. Which was one of the many reasons WWII was instigated.

    You have any evidence on this? Just that it sounds like complete and total bullshit to me. I think you're regurgitating a conspiracy theory.

    It had nothing to do with genocide of Jews, but the average person has only believed propaganda

    I don't think I know anybody - including the entire Jewish community of Manchester - that thinks that the start of World War II was anything to do with the genocide of Jews.

    Clearly you must have seen some propaganda that hasn't been shared in the UK. The story - as written by the victors here - is that the German National Socialists had supporters in the UK and the war began when the Germans ignored British and French warnings not to invade Poland, triggering treaty obligations that were well known at the time.

    However, fuck you and your imgur link. Maybe it'll work on future generations but my grandfather liberated Bergen Belsen, don't fucking try and swing that holocaust denial shit past me. I trust his first-hand account significantly more than your bollocks.

  9. the actual stated views of idiots

    Yeah, the BBC article on GoDaddy's actions said (before it was updated to include the news from Google) that it wasn't going to repeat the heinous slurs.

    So I decided not to let the media tell me what's acceptable and what's not, and went hunting.

    This vicious disparagement may well have upset the woman's family but I just looked at it and thought, "How fucking childish?!"

    It was a counter-conquest war

    No. Japan was being imperialistic, Italy was seeking to expand its African empire and Germany were being aggressive cunts - Poland was hardly guilty of global conquest.

    If it was a counter-conquest war though, you could argue that Japan and Germany won. The British and French empires didn't survive the war and its immediate aftermath, and Germany and Japan are now industrial powerhouses with massive economic influence on the global stage.

    These charts improve on the left/right divide by adding an additional axis. But a chart really can't summarize more than two orthogonal aspects of a political position

    This though is my problem with them. Use of these charts may be valid and helpful at a population but too many idiots use those population characteristics to assign identities to individuals, then act on those identities.

    As an example, "Punch a nazi" became farcical the moment it became a meme because everybody's now a nazi. Display a single trait associated with particular defunct German political movement and you're labelled with everything that's bad about them and treated accordingly.
