      My uncle is a Republican, always has been. His views have only become truly toxic since Obama was elected and a propaganda/hate machine that had been slowly building momentum dropped a gear and went over the horizon. So for less than a 5th of his life he has been an asshole on Facebook and voted Republican and you think he and everyone like him, in the entire country, needs to be exterminated?

        If when somebody goes “Kill nazis!” and your response is “Oh no, not my uncle!”

        Then yes.

          I am saying that your hyperbole is including people like my uncle you nonce, and it’s dangerous. We need to DeNazify, not exterminate. If you’re lucky enough to feel otherwise, congratulations I guess, either your family is “pure” or you’re lonely as fuck

            People like you tolerate them to the point where they can do their nazi shit out in the open. You’re part of the problem too. “Mah famerly!” fuck off.

                “No u” isn’t as effective as you might imagine. I’m on the side of kill nazis. You can’t muddy that water.

                  What is your plan for all of the otherwise non radical citizens that have been so soaked in propaganda that they believe what Fox tells them? Do you have a plan?

                  And reducing my argument to “No U” is infantilizing and really just a poor insult. It adds nothing to simply accuse someone of a logical fallacy and give no context to the accusation.

                  I am also on the side of “Kill Nazis”

                  The debate is who qualifies, and you are being very extreme.

                  Do we exterminate a third of the country?

                  If that’s what you believe, say “We should exterminate a third of the country”

                    “I’m totally on your side!” Argues against the extermination of nazis

                    Maybe I didn’t say it loud enough. Fuck. Off.

                    “sorry but unless you have a wiki and a 40 point plan, no action can be taken!”

                    “Oh but they just don’t understand that their actions are leading to extermination camps and genocides!”

                    Willful ignorance. And people like you giving them the benefit of the doubt at every turn.

                    FUCK OFF!

                    If a third of the country are acting like nazis, then yes a third of them deserve what they get when the hammer of justice falls.

                    Keep on debating. Super useful. Goddamned apologist.

              You don’t know fuck all about me, and making assumptions like you are is ugly as fuck.
