The argument against a master race is not that some proponents do not meet their own criteria. Because that implies that with a better chin they would have a better claim to being the master race.

Don't worry, I agree. The Preacher panel has never sat right with me.

Also, using any kind of body shaming isn't a great argument against people who are/were infamously into eugenics. "Unt now ve vill pass ze law for aborting ze chinless, ya?"

But how about taking a moment to grasp just why these people are reprehensible, instead of this glee at having a morally acceptable punching bag?

Three words: Phillip K. Shearer. Beaten into a coma on July 3, 1993. Removed from life support July 8, 1993. In 24 days he will have been dead 28 years. Two people were convicted in his death: Matthew Owens and Sean Ono. They had every advantage in life. They went to good schools, were from "good" families and went on to lead comfortable lives because why ruin the futures of some promising young men just because their dalliance with neo-nazi ideology led to an unfortunately fatal oopsie?

Why were they reprehensible? Who loving cares. All I know is that I had to watch as they lowered my friend into his grave.

I’m so sorry for your loss.

I feel a bit uncomfortable using your story of loss in an internet discussion, so I’ll do my best to be respectful.

I think your experience actually falls in line with what I’ve been trying to express.
If you’d meet Matthew Owens and Sean Ono on the street, I don’t think you would try to land a blow on them by pointing out the ways in which they fail to live up to their own standards. I imagine you would rage at these murderers.

Talking about a nazi’s chin not only does injustice to their crimes, it also opens up the debate: aparently jaw size is something that matters.


I get that you would feel that anything goes when it comes to hurting these people. But I’m afraid that we still have more to lose, and we will, if we let nazis become this bogeyman

Every single thing that can be done to make Nazis feel unwelcome should be done. Because they are unwelcome. And they should never - ever - get the feeling like that isn't the case. If that means mocking their stupid face then mock it. If that means slashing their car tyres then slash them.

It’s not about decorum bullshit. It’s about the goals not justifying the means. We should be very critical of the means.

I bet plenty of nazis would not enjoy being made out as a bunch of faggots.
Going by what you have posted here, you would be fine with calling nazis faggots.

Attacking people on the shape of their jaw is not quite the same, but pretty close.

Hello I'm someone who's been on the wrong side of nazis continously in my life because they think I'm a brown, and also had a hard time growing up because I stand all of 5'4" tall today. If the only behaviour that separates us from them is what clothes we choose,

Then what is the loving point?

Look, insulting them isn't pointless I see that but its much less effective at making them cry than hitting them. And hitting them in the name of equality doesn't make all your ugly friends sad.

First: yes it is pretty lovely towards those people.

Second: the ‘validation’ comes from engaging the argument by saying they don’t live up to it themselves, instead of discrediting the argument as bullshit.

Your dwarfism doesn’t give you a pass to denigrate other people’s height, the same way I don’t get to put down people by calling them a human being.
It has very little to do with how much the subject deserves our scorn, and all to with who else hears what we’re saying.

Insulting people for immutable physical characteristics makes you an rear end in a top hat

Even if the people you are insulting are Nazis, which, yes, is orders of magnitude worse, it still hurts Innocents more than them

That's the entire argument. Don't be an rear end in a top hat.


Edit: it's not that it validates their arguments to them or convinces anyone to be a Nazi, it's that it hurts the same people they're trying to hurt

The issue is which names you’re calling them.

Nobody but you is saying you’re just as bad. I think you and I are firmly on the same side of the fence. What I’m fumbling at communicating is that I think we need to stay mindful of why we oppose fascists; when we think we’re putting down nazis by mocking their ugly gently caress faces we’re actually playing along with their game instead of opposing it
