Not sure whether this thread has become a jerk circle or a circle jerk, the lines are blurred.

Anyhoo, stay focused boys and all pull together you're nearly there.

What an extraordinary obsession with ninfan on here

Funny man, nazi apologist apologising for nazis and you think we should, well, what exactly? It's like a Salmond shape bone to a THM...

When you said you were left leaning I hadn't thought you meant Strasserite.

He also has trouble with the meaning of consent and believes some people 'let' themselves be sexually assualted.

You sunk so low as to defend a guy commiting a sexual assualt by trying to justify it wasn't assualt as the victim let them do it. You done similar on this thread only with nazis. I don't think there are any depths you wont sink to in order to make a dig at 'lefties' or whatever else you call them.

The strange thing isn't Ninfan's contribution, which is just business as usual- it's Jambalaya contribution. After years of being the self-appointed antisemite-hunter general, railing against lefties for every imagined slight- give him an actual nazi, actually murdering people amidst an actual white supremacist march and he goes "Well, don't be too judgemental"

So it's the last time he ever gets to pretend he actually gives a shit about antisemitism or that it's anything other than a convenient tool he can use to bash people he doesn't like. So that's positive at least, that got [i]pretty boring.[/i]

Though, it's also useful to be reminded of how rapey Ninfan can be

I realise he does not do personal very much but his "views", or scribbles on here, are rather indefensible and largely done to get this sort of reaction [ if not quite the levels of vitriol] which seems to reflect some sort of community view of his "contributions"

IMHO

Careful JY, you're getting into the territory of censoring views you don't like purely because you don't like them. That's dangerous territory IMO.

You may think his views are indefensible but he [i]does[/i] defend them. Unapologetically. Sometimes with decent points, sometimes not.

Better to have that kind of stuff out in the open where it can be talked about I reckon. Driving it underground serves no one and only reinforces the alt-right belief that the left seek to censor and shut down debate.

On a sad but positive note, let us remember and salute Bernard Kenny, the pensioner who fought the man who murdered Jo Cox, and was himself stabbed. According to the BBC he died peacefully today.

I believe that there are many more decent brave men and women like Bernard Kenny than there are empty, hate filled individuals like the one who murdered Jo Cox and like those we have seen in Charlottesville.

I realise it's an anodyne sentiment, but we should devote more time acknowledging, recognising and praising the deeds of people like Bernard Kenny, because they are an important counterweight to the depressingly appalling actions of those in Charlottesville and elsewhere. It helps us to keep in perspective that those extremists and their apologists are only a tiny minority of rather pathetic and inadequate men.

He does not even mean what he says and free speech is fine but he is just making things up and scribbling.

as for a debate with him are you new here? 😯

How many times have you tried
I agree he can be lucid and insightful but more often than not he does this and it leads to this.

So, stories coming out now that his car had been surrounded by antifa protesters attacking him and he was trying to get away. Unverified but seems like a realistic scenario. I assume that if confirmed the usuals will stop calling it murder or terrorism and instead condemn the protesters who attacked him?

Wondering where you found those reports...I'm sure we'd all love to see the source.

This thread has gone down the pan; serious subject hijacked by insults and primary school playground attitudes.

Disappointingly, that's becoming increasingly common on 'serious' STW threads.

I reckon everyone who thinks that people they disagree with or don't like shouldn't have the right to march, protest, speak or publish their views (with the caveat that what they say is not in itself an incitement to violence) is a fascist

I also reckon that anyone who thinks that the answer to people political views they don't like is to resort to violence (be that 'punch a nazi' or 'punch a leftie') is just as reprehensible.

What we have witnessed here, repeatedly, is double standards - constant justification of violence by the political left because 'nazis are bad, m'kay' (along with calling everyone they don't like a nazi) but shock and horror when the direct result of that is retaliation.

the free speech thing is ostensibly a laudable democratic intention but feeling entitled to promote, even celebrate, organisations that have routinely implied or overtly threatened - and repeatedly perpetrated - individual and collective violence against non-white people is pushing your luck just a teeny bit

Similarly, I'm all for the right to demonstrate in support of a cause (with same caveats as above) but it's utterly inappropriate, even in the US, to do so while tooled up for WW3 - that's public intimidation, not demonstration

Ninfan, I can think of only one thing to call a bunch of guys carrying swastika flags and giving Nazi salutes. Nazis. I think you might guess what I call people who sympathise with them?
I applaud anyone who fights Nazis, as they are a group who lost their right to freedom of speech and association by their historic actions (though as previously discussed, other violent groups on the left deserve the same treatment).
You have as much right as anyone to talk shit on an internet forum, and some of it is pretty despicable, so don't cry when people point out that you're defending some pretty reprehensible shit. Perhaps you might think a little deeper about some of the reactions to your posts, as most are not borne of a desire to censor you by lefty snowflakes, they are mostly pretty human reactions to some quite disturbing opinions and statements.
My aim is not to offend or censor you, or even to try to convince you that my worldview is better, but you don't seriously think that some of the shit you come out with should go unchallenged, just as the public assembly of those actual real life Nazis you're defending must always be challenged, for fear of letting our grandparents down if nothing else.

Armed because the far right might do something like drive a car into them Ninfan.

Have yet to see any lefties engaging in terrorism in the US - it's always right wingers. McVeigh etc etc - in fact there's been 150 right wing terrorist attacks or attempted attacks since 1993. There have been no incidents from the left since the end of the cold war - in the United States.

That is pretty ****ing damning of the right and makes you're own hysterical position, utterly baseless as usual Ninfan. In fact, I've come to the conclusion that whenever you offer an opinion - the right one is automatically the one opposed to yours.

that particular protest, ninfan? (Seattle?) I dont think so

Can't deny that the BP (in the late 1960s - 50yrs ago) was a movement of significance that formed as a response to perceived (and hugely likely to be correctly so) violent, racist policing but that particular event (resulting in zero harm or arrests), nah. trifling

Ninfan won't be pleased were back to comparing him to Hitler again, were supposed to be past that phase and just calling him a dick or something.

I called him a **** but it got removed....

A group fighting for the same rights as other citizens in their society or a group wanting to subjugate/oppress a group within their society.... Yeah, fair comparison. 🙄

The pictures may appear to be similar, but the story is not.

Suppose you think Mandela was a bad man, too.

Again, free speech for the people you agree with, but not the others - you really don't get it do you?

No double standards here. You said "Many feel that this protest was one of the most important events in the campaign for civil rights" so I was disagreeing with "the many". I stand by that - that event was a non-event

On the point of being tooled up, yeah, I don't like it but as I said, it's the intimidatory nature that I specifically dislike (and I'd be far, far happier as a white man to have had to stand anywhere near those BP geezers than the white KKK'n'chums last week).

Great point Ninfan, you really succeeded in defending your position. Now, where are all these left wing terror cells and militia?

It's just another example of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True-believer_syndrome

You get these cases in all walks of life - I had to disocciate myself from a friend of over a decade because she Brexshitted, turned out to be an anti-vaxxer and claimed the confederate flag wasn't a symbol of hate because she read it in the Telegraph.

You can't reason with crazy.

"Unless you're Native American, you came from someplace else."

Hmm, sounds awfully like Bernard Manning doesn't it?

Not to me.
Sounds like an extremely concise way of pointing out one of the rank hypocrisies of the nazis in Charlottesville.
No idea what it sounds like to a nazi apologist, you tell me.

"They actually think they're English because they're born here. That means if a dog's born in a stable, it's a horse."

That's exactly what Obama didn't say in his speech. 😕

This doesn't make sense.
The murderer who drove his car into a crowd of people was also a nazi.
You're saying the nazi is just as bad as a nazi.
You're getting confused.

Cite the violence committed against the murdering nazi or stop lying.
Your choice.
Calling people nazis who identify as nazis, hold similar views to nazis and carry the flag of nazis, et cetera is not unreasonable.

Nazis are actually bad, m'kay?

ninfan - Member

So this is the occasion where it's now OK to burden an entire community with collective responsibility for the 'lone wolf' actions of an individual and expect community leaders to condemn the actions and apologise on the communities behalf?

The community is nazis. They hold nazi beliefs. They're not a group who collectively like flower arranging. They want to eradicate people that are different to them and hold different beliefs. One of them achieved that.

If you're struggling to understand that then I have a great analogy though I fear it could beckon the 'hammer.

I think Ninfan should get himself a VPN and go for a wander through some UK and US far right websites and chat rooms.

If he can do that without the need to shower, then try some European and Russian ones.

Wow. Are you suggesting that being a Muslim is inherently bad, in the same way that being a Nazi is inherently bad? If so you need to learn the difference between 'a Muslim' and 'a Muslin terrorist extremist killer'. There is a big difference :roll:.

There is a relationship between American postal service workers and mad killing sprees (the phrase 'going postal'), but it would be pretty stupid to think all American post office workers are potential insane mass murders, don't you think?

I'm saying that once you begin to treat people differently on the basis of whom you perceive to be "inherently bad" or allow government to censor views, opinions, free speech or protest because you don't like what people are saying, or because it might upset somebody, then we're all ****ed

Nazis have as much right to speak, march and protest, as communists (or any other group) do, even though I profoundly disagree with both of them. Both should be able to do so without fear of being physically attacked by their opponents - it's not a difficult concept.

So you don't think the UK "incitement to racial hatred" law is a good thing when applied to Nazism?

Both should be able to do so without fear of being physically attacked by their opponents - it's not a difficult concept.

Sure, resorting to violence is not a good solution in any way, but ignoring Nazi's is even worse. Surely the only way to improve the situation (without violence or imprisonment) is to try and teach Nazis why their beliefs are inherently wrong. That won't happen by ignoring them.

To clarify, do YOU 'perceive' Muslims to be inherently bad in the same way that Nazi's are perceived to be inherently bad?

Which is worse, the Daleks or the Cybermen?

I perceive Muslims to be [b]as[/b] inherently bad as christians, Hindus, Jews and any other sky-fairy following religion.

In just the same way as I perceive Nazis to be as [i]inherently[/i] bad as Communists

So you don't think the UK "incitement to racial hatred" law is a good thing when applied to Nazism

To be honest, I don't support it in the slightest (when applied to any group, not just Nazi's), nor do I support the laws on incitement to religious hatred, in both cases I don't support them due to their chilling effect on free speech - as opposed to the laws prohibiting incitement to violence, which I support 100%

I don't know about you but I wouldn't be going protesting anywhere where there are loads of squirrel eating nutjobs wandering around with assault rifles

'Merica is mental!

Mind you, I suppose you could consider it a nod to multiculturalism that the killer then chose to use his car to kill people, which is a bit... you know... ISISy, instead of the more time honoured 'Merican tradition of going postal with a massive bag of guns

Or maybe he was being ironic?

Remind us who was physically attacked by whom in this case.

I "perceive" Nazis to be "inherently bad" on account of the killing 6 million Jews thang. But hey, that's just me - judgemental.

Seems to me that those white supremacist types seem pretty keen on (parts of) the 1st and 2nd amendments, but seek to challenge the 13th (slavery and servitude), 14th (equal protection of the law) and 15th (right to vote regardless race, colour or servitude).

Not to mention the good old Declaration of Independence which says [i]"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness"[/i].

Seems odd that they style themselves as 'patriots' when they are so at odds with the fundamentals of their country.

I'm saying that once you begin to treat people differently on the basis of whom you perceive to be "inherently bad" or allow government to censor views, opinions, free speech or protest because you don't like what people are saying, then we're all ****ed

I actually agree with that ninfan.

But the exception is always that incitement to violence is not permitted. and it's pretty easy to argue that folk flying nazi flags, chanting nazi slogans and making nazi salutes are saying they approve of nazi methods of dealing with opponents. Likewise the KKK guys.

Muslims, Christians, Hindu's, Communists and Mongol Hordes have all done much the same

Yes, the major religions have resulted in a lot of 'bad' things.....but some good too. Have the Nazi's ever done anything 'good'? That's the difference. The religions do not teach hatred (beyond the misinterpretations of extremists/terrorists, who are a tiny minority).

Not really. The Nazis existed for - what - 20 years? And killed 6 million. Quite a hit rate. Plus - it was an essential element of their philosophy - the mob at Charlotteville were shouting anti-Semitic slogans, not "let's build more autobahns". It wasn't a side project like,say, inventing algebra.

I understand the attraction of looking for some sort of simple universal rule, but in this case it leads you to attempting to justify the murder of an innocent young woman. Is that where you want to be?
