Some Nazis were raised. They believe what they believe because their parents were Nazis.

Some of them do leave that way of thinking, but it is not easy.

Do not treat people like things, just because you think they are irredeemable.

That is what Nazis do.

Nazi lives don't matter. The paradox of tolerance goes both ways. Do not tolerate the intolerant.

It's not even a paradox. Being tolerant means allowing things you disagree with, but only up to a point.

It is fallacy to think that if we are intolerant to intolerance, we then become intolerant, thus defeating our own tolerance.

A fallacy mostly promoted by right-wingers.

The problem I have is that, although we shouldn't tolerate Nazis, treating their deaths in car accidents as a non-event at best, or a national holiday at worst, does feel like moving toward the same dehumanising treatment that Nazis give to those they hate.

I don't like it.

Concern trolling is trying to hijack other people's empathy for their own goals. It may look like empathy, but it really isn't.

Toxic positivity, on the other hand, really is positivity, but ramped up to eleven, to the point where it becomes harmful.

Scammers take advantage of our empathy. If the response to the scam is empathy, that doesn't make it toxic, it makes the attempt to take advantage of it toxic, and that isn't empathy, but a lack of it.

Now I want this.

Etsy, get on it!

Exactly.

Going from that premise, it may be concluded that God didn't want genders, otherwise he would have created them.

Which I don't subscribe to, but is definitely something used against LGBTQ people by bigots.

Probably, if RFK jr. gets his way with his health farms.

Yeah, but it had its own awfulness, like the Iron Giant used completely inappropriately.

I travel by train. That book does not remain unopened.

In this case, kill would have been less specific, more sanitized.

I think being specific was better.

Without capitalism, maybe they wouldn't have continued when they found out there wasn't enough DNA for complete dinosaurs.

Or maybe they would have had enough time to think things through, and use safer/more appropriate replacement DNA.

Just spit balling.
