I'm not sure what you are trying to express. I just hear you dictating what the proper response to insulting beliefs.
I'm hearing you calling me a pussy for being tolerant. I want to hear what the words of those I disagree with. I want to examine the structures of their belief. Most people claim some level of logic to their values. I wish to examine it, even from my enemies. That is not being a pussy.
Oh yes and you also called me privileged why is that? Because of how I type? My avatar? Because of my decision to listen to hateful words and expose myself to toxic ideology to learn how and why? Perhaps you mean naive. Perhaps you imply that I don't know what racism is really like or something? Or perhaps I'm not around "real" racists? Hrm. Eitherway it is quite amusing! Please elaborate.
So no I don't beat up nazi skinheads when I see them at shows. Someone has to be struck for me to consider it that kind of situation. No I don't hunt for racism like some avenger. No I don't spit on people when they say some racist bullshit to my face. That does not equal standing idly by and letting racism flourish.
I know where the line is. I know what to do when that line is crossed in reality, not some hypothetical horseshit.
There is a big difference between talk and action. Some online flexing is nothing. A bunch of shitty swastika patches does not equal being spit on by me. Wave the confederate flag all you want but if fists start flying it is on. You have your way I have mine. Notice how I'm trying to respect you even though you did not respect me? I’m just a newb/noob who cares right?
