@6chhelipilot some things should be stigmatized. If someone shows an attraction to kids, we stigmatize that and socially ostracize them, even if we don't know that they've actually committed a crime. Because the implications if they were to act on their tendencies are so dire. Socialists should be viewed the same. Socialists are even more dangerous to society than pedos. And, as it turns out, there's quite a bit of overlap between the 2.

 @robertbeisert3315 well of course, what's the point of extracting resources from the people creating them if you're not going to siphon it up to the top for you and your buddies?

@I-Dophler I got sent to the principals office when I was in high school for asking why the Nazis were the worst when the communist killed far more people. Of course they accused me of sympathizing with the Nazis. I can't remember exactly how that ended, this was the early 2000s, but I didn't actually get in any real trouble, because how? It's not like I did anything wrong. I just had the wrong opinion. And I'm sure as hell not a Nazi sympathizer, I hate all forms of authoritarianism and race politics.

@I-Dophler I've always said that Nazis and communists weren't enemies because they're opposites, they're enemies because they have so much in common, and one of the main things they have in common is that they both require complete dominance. It's like 2 tigers fighting over the same territory.

@I-Dophler they're both socialists, they both believe in top down control from the government, both economically and culturally. Nazis believe in supremacy through birth rite, communists believe in supremacy through submitting to the state. And on a long enough timeline, the communist becomes a fascist or a Nazi. Since one of the main differences is communism focuses on progress, whereas fascism and Nazism focus on tradition. If communism were to succeed, eventually progress would become tradition. Now they have even more in common. And communists believe in equity among their people, the same as Nazis. It's just that "our people" to a Nazi is a specific ethnic group, whereas to a communist, "our people" is anyone who submits to communism. Of course they're not the same, it wouldn't even be worth a discussion if they were the same. But they're very similar, to the point that a lot of their "differences" have been overstated by both ideologies wanting to distance themselves from the other, because they're competing for the same followers. The type of person who would fall into communism is the exact same personality type who would fall into Nazism or fascism.

@I-Dophler and like I said, this was a long time ago. There's a good chance a student today saying the same thing I said would be punished, because you're not allowed to question the narrative anymore.

@kim-jong-poon lmao, by today's standards Mr. Sandell would be a "far right conspiracy theorist", like Joe Rogan, Tim Pool, and Russell Brand🤣🤣

 @AiyukIsHim goddamn dude, if you want to be heard, maybe condense your thoughts. That requires actually having your own thoughts though.

@AiyukIsHim if you understand a topic to a great degree, then you can explain it briefly, in a way that a layman can understand. If you have to use someone else's quotes in a page long explanation to flesh out an idea, then you don't really understand that idea.

@AiyukIsHim so why don't you tell us what your main takeaway from all of this is, in your own words.

@AiyukIsHim see? Was that so hard? And I don't disagree with anything you just said, attacking religion does seem to be a core component of the attack against culture itself, and you're absolutely right about us going through these cycles. It's because a lot of people NEED to be ruled over, they can't handle the responsibilities of life without a safety net. And that's fine, if that's part of human nature, we can't stop it. But the USA was supposed to be a nation for people who don't want or need a safety net, that was the explicit purpose for its founding. All the other countries can rule over their subjects, free men could come here to be free.

@kim-jong-poon I had a conversation with a retired history professor once, and he told me he asked his class at the end of every semester to guess his political affiliation. And he was conservative/libertarian, but his career long promise to himself was that if almost the entire class guessed that correctly, he would retire. Because it was his job to teach history, the facts, not his narrative about who the good guys and bad guys were. He was in his 60s when we had this conversation, recently retired. Because he never got any kind of accurate consensus about his affiliation.

Nazis were far left. History decided the left already had too many baddies, and decided to assign a few to the right. Just because communists and Nazis are enemies doesn't mean they're opposites. They have more in common than not.

As long as there are weak people seeking an easy way in life, without having to work for anything, and there are politicians seeking to exploit and weaponize those people to gain power, communism will persist. And it will always be the biggest threat to society.

@AiyukIsHim because it's annoying and pretentious. Just because someone doesn't want to read your long winded nonsense doesn't mean they can't read, or have a short attention span. Get your head out of your own ass and get some fresh air, inhaling your own farts all day can't be good for you.

@AiyukIsHim yea I saw about that assisted sue is cide bill, pretty terrifying stuff. Especially considering the publicly funded healthcare y'all already have. The logical next step is the state denying healthcare based on your political affiliation. They already have all the pieces in place.

@angrynapolean3820 socialists always fail to understand that not everyone wants to "own the means of production", and not everyone is capable of that. Someone opens a restaurant, spends all the money for the lease, the equipment, the legal BS, all the rest of it, and he's supposed to share an equal amount of the revenue with some high school kid who picks his nose and plays on his phone all day? The only job that kid can do is one where someone else has already set everything up, and all he has to do is help. Minimal responsibility, no liability if something goes wrong, a steady wage for doing next to nothing. It's not a bad deal for the kid. And if the restaurant fails, he can get a job at a different restaurant more easily than the owner can start from scratch all over again.

@robertbeisert3315 I've never understand why nationalism is even considered "far right", most people are nationalist to some degree, since the opposite is globalism. Globalism is complete nonsense. You have to secure your own face mask before you help anyone else. Nationalism should be considered a moderate position, because that's what it is. Even if taken to it's extreme, it's still not necessarily a far right position.

@I-Dophler lots of small hat conspiracy theorists in comments to videos like these lately. It stinks of feds if you ask me, not that there aren't people who also genuinely believe that crap, but the fact that they pop up so frequently, and the posters rarely respond to anyone, tells me it's inorganic, probably feds fishing for "hate speech".
