ScathingAtheist 206: Schindler's Fist Edition Extended

 

This week, I see if I can finally pop those veins in my forehead whilst recording a diatribe. I can, by the way.

Thanks guys, I work for Dept. of State and am currently posted overseas. There are a lot of LDS who work for DoS and do I truly look forward to and enjoy ALL your podcasts. Things are really stressful these days and hearing your voices helps. Thanks.

How is the trust in the legal system working for you now?

AK

Awful argument. It's a preemptive strike because it precedes any actual crime committed by Spencer (to the best of my knowledge). Even if a preemptive action is justified, it must be taken by duly authorized officers of the law.

Noah you absolutely NAILED IT with this diatribe. Thanks for expressing perfectly what I've been failing to put into words on this subject.

Sakashite Fukasumi

No it's not at all fair to say that Gandhi was pro-Nazi in any way. He was naïve and far from the saint that he is sometimes portrayed as -- he upheld the discriminatory caste system and believed women were inferior to men. But he was definitely NOT pro-Nazi. Really... how could a pacifist ever be pro- any regime that believed in territorial expansion through armed conflict??

Sakashite Fukasumi

Long time listener- Just gotta say Gandi was in a few ways very pro-nazi. He preached the idea that the jews should have committed collective suicide, source: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahatma_Gandhi" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahatma_Gandhi</a>#cite_ref-Wolpert2002_144-0 there are also many other sources available. Also, on the subject of violence- The only way to fight fascism is with violence. Protest within the system of fascism, a system fascism itself upholds makes you nothing except a friend to fascists.

Also, optics are important. It's not the punch itself that weakened Spencer in the eyes of the SJWs and his fans alike, it's that with one single punch he ran halfway down a block.

I disagree with the diatribe in that it was not a preemptive strike. The Norwegian white supermacist terrorist Anders Breivik cited Spencer and inspiration for the mass murder he committed. Also, Spencer was part of the online mob of misogynists that were harassing women and now attack Eli on Twitter because he stands with safe spaces. There is more nuance to my arguments and I sent an email if you care to read it, because dominating a comment section is not my intention.

AK

That was a diatribe I needed to hear. I was dismayed by how many people thought that violence was suddenly acceptable.

"If you're willing to sacrifice your principles because times are bleak and you're scared, you never had principles to begin with." Perfect summation. It could be said to every Trump voter too.
