Anne Frank memorial in Idaho, defaced with swastika stickers

The funny part is it's just more projection from conservatives, who largely identify as Christian in this country. Jesus was a SJW, and religious people claim to have the answers, aka "woke"

They also depict his as a white dude. Most Christians haven't followed or understood Christ for centuries.

They also depict his as a white dude. Most Christians haven't followed or understood Christ for centuries since Paul strangled the infant Church in the cradle.

Fixed.

Fixed.

Well, I wasn't TECNICALLY wrong either

Indeed you were not

What type of person trolls in a topic like this? Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with these folks?

Likely a person who's never read Anne Frank's diary, same with the asshole who put up the flack on her tribute statuary.

You know, I don't think anyone is denying whites have died trying to help blacks throughout history. 3 Jewish activists were killed in Mississippi while trying to get blacks to register to vote. While everyone knew who killed them (and one of the group, the leader, did in fact confess), not one soul was convicted of murder.

Actually Edgar Ray Killen was convicted of manslaughter of the 3 boys in 2005. The fact that not a single person was charged with murder and the manslaughter conviction came 41 years later is a joke.

These fundamentalist and evangelical churches, and the families communities that surround them are based on a highly authoritarian power structure. They like that kind of structure. They think the country needs “strong leaders” that impose their will on the majority. They think that things like self-esteem and critical thinking are bad.

Now, not every Trump supporter grew up inside that extreme of religious authoritarianism, but it’s a matter of degree. And the fundamentalist and evangelical communities were explicitly for Trump. There is nothing about Trump that gives evangelicals pause, nothing they have to justify. Trump is their perfect leader. So many secularist/critical thinkers don’t get this. They think that Trump’s cruelty, lies, greed and misogyny should cause some sort of cognitive dissonance among the religious. But these people like the cruelty directed towards secularists, liberals, minorities/the others. They think “those people” need to be marginalized and put in their place.

Trump is the leader, the alpha. He’s not held to the same standards as everyone else. That’s why, when Trump calls some random public figure something shitty and that public figure calls him something not quite so shitty back, they can criticize the second person with a straight face. It’s simple to them. Trump is allowed to do that, much like a parent is allowed to spank their child. But the second person wasn’t allowed to do that, it’s like a child spanking the parent.

While most people generally think that a person in authority should hold themselves to a higher behavioral standard, these type of conservatives think the opposite. They think the authority figure gets to say and do what he wants and he doesn’t owe anyone an explanation for his actions. That’s why he gets so nasty when a debate moderator asked him a tough question. They aren’t supposed to be allowed to talk to the President that way.

Imagine walking into a thread about someone defacing a memorial for a 15 year old girl who died of typhus in a concentration camp and thinking, "I should take this opportunity to complain about people knocking down statues of 19th century slave owners".

It's obviously not the method of defacement that matters. It's the fact that someone went out of their way to do that to the memorial of an innocent kid who was tortured and murdered because of her ancestry. Imagine how big of a snowflake you have to be to try and portray yourself and your ideology as the victim when it comes to something like this.

Holy shit did this thread delivery. I guess we can rest assured that it's highly likely both s1 and Taj spend so much time ranting here because they have essentially no influence in the real world and can't find anyone there to take them seriously.

Good post. Here's a handy summary: whatever the exact degree of criminality of each act, the messaging is entirely different. One is pro-Nazi and anti-Semitic, while the other is anti-racist. You'd think this distinction would require no explanation but evidently it does.

This. Also realize that these "people" (I learned quotation marks from brandon) are navigating on another morality/knowledge plane than you and I. It makes little sense to argue with them, you will not reach them.
