       @Clipsey @Are0h @Gargron You shouldn't... it's a good, well-moderated instance.  His comment didn't violate any rules.

       @DashEquals @Are0h @Gargron It might not break any rules specifically, it goes very against the spirit of those rules.Though you're just filled with bad faith arguments, so this is all i will say on the matter.

       @Clipsey @Are0h @Gargron Calling my arguments bad-faith is insulting.I think we need to fork joinmastodon into something that isn't so biased.  Quey has been rejected for no good reason, I don't think the instance I'm on has gotten a reply, and now instances are delisted just because someone is annoyed with what one of their users said, even though we all agree that it doesn't break the rules.What happened to "benefit of the doubt"?

       @Are0h Hah, okay then.I'd be happy to talk with you, but I feel the only place where' we'd have productive conversation is a DM.  If you're interested in trying to find out my actual perspective on issues, my DM's are open.  Otherwise, it seems like you're the brick wall here.

       @DashEquals You are making the assumption I believe a conversation with you can be productive. I do not. As you have made your perspective very clear and very public for weeks now, I will decline.If by 'brickwall' you means I am not swayed by biased and juvenile bullet points on why you don't like marginalized people choosing not to engage bigots, ha, then yes I am a brick wall.

       @Are0h OK, then.  You believe that no matter what context, a conversation with me will not be productive, about anything political.I'm not sure what perspective I've made very clear, though.  The thing about GIMP only happened yesterday and today.

       @DashEquals Pick one. All of them are terrible and you're committed to them, regardless of the consequences of continuing the behaviors you support.You don't want debate. You want complicity with your myopic non-sense.And that's just not going to happen. What you believe is harmful to everyone not like you and I'm not going to debate that point because can't accept reality.That is your problem, not mine.

       @DashEquals Your general commentary says otherwise. Ha, just because you want to tap dance in this particular exchange does not change the history of awful ideas and people that you have defended.And you don't get cookies for letting go of an idea that was poor to begin with.You have a history that I am very aware of. Wether you want to acknowledge that context is up to you. However, your inability to do so is why your pleas for DEBATE hold no value.

       @DashEquals That's up to you. Your behavior has not changed. Until that happens, you're just running around in circles.Which seems to be your methodology when trying to "debate". That might work in the circles you travel in, but it is laughable to people that have to deal with the repercussions of the bullshit you constantly defend.And you don't want to hear that part of it. So whatever you have to say is of no interest to me.

       @Are0hMy behavior?  You mean, stating my opinions?Look, I'm sure you've been discriminated against in lots of ways that are unfair.  None of my ideas promote that, though.  I'm against sexism, I'm against racism, I'm against homophobia, transphobia, etc.My views differ from yours on the topic of personal freedom, mainly.  I simply believe that combating fashism by insulting people, threatening them, etc isn't a good way to actually solve problems.

       @Are0hTo quote Michelle Obama: "when they go low, we go high"I know it's appealing to insult and attack people (and much easier), but it doesn't actually work.  If you're interested in stopping fascists, you need to reach out to them.

I don't have to reach out to people who believe in an ideology that views my death as a solution.To suggest so is not only dangerous, but deeply insulting to the millions of people that have to deal with prolonged violence.You're just an apologist for bigots.

       @Are0h I'm not defending their views.  I'm actually interested in ways that we can effectively stop them from having those views.Listen to stories of ex-KKK members.  Usually, it's someone reaching out to them, someone defying the racist stereotype they have in their minds, that gets them to leave.Someone in the KKK has heard insults and attacks all the time they've been in the group. Another person insulting them won't have any effect.  Someone reaching out to them, however, might.

       @DashEquals Many people have had these conversations already. If you're not aware of them, that is on you.No. That is dangerous for people like me.I don't give a fuck how the KKK feel. They have terrorized and violently assaulted and murdered people like me for centuries.Fuck reaching out to them because their feelings are hurt because I'm not nice to them.

       @Are0h I am aware of them.  That's how people end up leaving the KKK.It's not about caring how the KKK feel.  The KKK isn't a monolith, it's filled with people, each of whom have some reason why they're there.  Their racism is a deeply held belief, and as you know, it's hard for people to change those.  If you want *any chance at all*, insulting them is not going to work.

       @Are0h You can either write people off as "will always be KKK/Nazi/fascist", or you can try to get them to see why their views are wrong.  The former is much easier but the latter is the one that will actually succeed.

       @DashEquals Ha, your commentary is clearly shows you are not.I don't agree. And asking us to understand them is complete non-sense when they, just like you, haven't changed their behavior.You're literally "arguing" for us to be nice to people that are still murdering us.You're not anti-racist. You're a racist apologist because we're not nice to people that harm us.Ha, and that's complete and utter bullshit that you refuse to let go of b/c it's not what you want to hear.

       @DashEquals And you're wrong. American history has shown time and time again the most profound periods of change come from standing up and fighting the very people and views you are defending.You just don't know what you're talking about and you don't care about the consequences of what you're advocating.You just don't give a shit. And that's why I know any conversation with you will be unproductive.LOL, just like this entire exchange.

       @Are0h Again, I'm not defending fascism.  If you said that, you'd be being disingenuous.However, I'll assume what you meant to say is that change has come from standing up to and fighting fascism, white supremacy, etc.If you look at change in America's past, this isn't really that true.  The abolition of slavery happened because the south seceded to form the Confederacy, and the Emancipation Proclamation was mainly done to punish them for it.

       @Are0h Also, look at the Civil Rights era.  Most violent protests, such as the Detroit riots, didn't accomplish much, compared to MLK, who was more peaceful, and accomplished serious change.  Again, violent protests and action didn't help much here.

       @denikombucha @Are0h @ArtistMarciaX It's not about standing by what you say, it's about honesty.  People debating publicly have to keep in mind their audience's expectations, so they might not say what the actually believe, due to what their followers would and wouldn't want.  This prevents change and understanding.  Using DM's allows people to honestly express what they think when the only other person who can hear them is the person they're talking with.

       @denikombucha @Are0h I prefaced with "This is going to be really unpopular", because yes, it is an unpopular opinion.  Unpopular doesn't mean wrong, if you went back 250 years saying "slavery should be abolished" would be unpopular.

       @Are0h Little does he know that he *is* the "big bad world out there" that people are trying to survive.

       @plastiCage If he's the "big bad world" we'd be living in a utopia.

       @denikombucha Actually, many African nations sold slaves to Europeans.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_slave_trade#African_participation_in_the_slave_trade(Wikipedia isn't usually reliable, I agree, but it links to better sources if you're not convinced)

       @denikombucha No, of course not, I'm 100% against owning slaves, and slave owners were 100% wrong.  Your claim is that "Slavery was never popular with Black folk", but that's just wrong, it definitely was.

       @denikombucha You just move the goalposts, by like, two continents.  I'd expect everyone to be against themselves being enslaved. That doesn't mean black people were against slavery in general, which is the point I made.

       @DashEquals We're not talking about the global phenomenon of slavery. Slavery under the Romans was NOT equal to the TASL. Yes, Black ppl were against their OWN enslavement. And WHY do you have so many accts? Are you trying to sneak around blocks🤨 ?

       @denikombucha (I try to keep politics off my main account, I realized I should probably move this convo here)  I wasn’t talking about slavery under the Romans, I was talking about the TASL, which Blacks supported.

       @DashEquals So your world view is-You should be able to say the N word-Black people sold other Black People therefore how can White Supremacy exist if some Black ppl have benefited from it?Are you looking to bring BACK the TASL🤨 ? Because I'm sure there'd be one or two PoC who'd agree for the right paycheck.

       @denikombucha (view this post on Pleroma for a better experience)You should be able to say the N wordYes, because society should no longer stigmatize that word.  The current meaning makes it offensive, but that’s only because we view it as such.  I want to neutralize the word so it’s no longer offensive, just like has happened with many other words.Black people sold other Black People therefore how can White Supremacy exist if some Black ppl have benefited from it?No, of course not.  I said that “slavery should be abolished” was an unpopular opinion at one time, you mentioned that slavery was never popular among Black people, and I responded showing how it was popular among Black people.  Of course White Supremacy can exist, this has nothing to do with that.Are you looking to bring BACK the TASL🤨 ? Because I’m sure there’d be one or two PoC who’d agree for the right paycheck.No, slavery is wrong.  My point was simply that some Black people didn’t have a problem with it, and some Black people did benefit from it.  To claim otherwise is to ignore history for your idealized version of it.

       @DashEquals I mean, he is a white dude using brutalist individualism dog whistles in a way that tries to seem like it's reasonable to accept that people bring violence upon themselves, so...

       @DashEquals @plastiCage I'd like to hop in this thread, but Playvicious blocked us, and I would be failing to follow my own recommendation against ever participating in a Playvicious thread.

       @DashEquals @denikombucha >everyone is against themselves being enslaved I would like to disagree. 3 problems. 1) a stubbornness (whether good-hearted or not) to recognize that some people really just don't have what it takes to do more than a little bit of low-thought, low-effort, repetitive physical labor. If you can accept that, then you realize that some people belong higher up in a societal system (if you insist on having one) and some people belong lower down. 2) there is a mistaken idea that, given the choice, everyone would like to be at the top. But what people really want is to find the place where they really belong. Some people feel nothing but anxiety, alienation, and unhappiness being looked to as an example or guide. Some people want to live out of the spotlight and some people would actually be happier with people guiding them through most of their lives. 3) Your favorite part, Dash, is that I disagree with the definition of slavery we throw around. It hinges on whether people are "owned" and "paid" in fiat currency. But there has never historically been "unpaid" slavery. Fiat money is only a couple hundred years old, and Rome and The South paid their workers in barter — housing, food, and towards the end they gave them a monetary allowance for liquor, hookers, or saving up to "buy" themselves. Ownership: everything has kind of reversed. People in the past were "owned" indebted one way or another to a king, liege, family, etc. But everything around us was "free". No one owned herbs, apples, firewood, birds, air, river water. Now it's reversed. People may nominally be "free", but everything on earth belongs to someone else. You have to slave away for some vassal or other to get the fiat money to get the natural thing. I think this is unnatural and is going to reverse with the next big societal upheaval. And I think many people will feel relieved to have their true place again, whether it is low, middle, or high, because it will belong to them.
