notch is a fucking nazi and ought to be strung up like one too.
Notch was (maybe still is?) an ill person, someone dealing with a lot of demons that just wanted to make little java games and turned insta-famous and insta-rich, and that seemed too much to handle.
Like the Harry Potter lady or the Father Ted guy, they couldn't handle their new lives and went bananas.
Nazis are just broken people that want to hurt others to numb their own pain. (Not that I'm justifying their shitiness). Then again, in Behind The Bastards, often there's a guy who has a plain happy childhood and becomes a monster, so WDIK.
nazis aren't people
yeah, you are. not only is it ableism, it's nazi apologia, and bullshit to boot.
Dehumanization is what Nazis do. Don't gaze into the abyss so long that you start thinking like them.
I think it is essential to remind ourselves that Nazis are people, that Naziism is an evil that mankind is capable of. In order to effectively fight Nazis, we must pay attention to how real people get suckered in by Nazi propaganda. The second you start othering them is the second you lose the fight because you willfully stopped paying attention.
I don't think you understand the point I'm making here.
