    Watashitachi wa Moto Joshi desu - Vol. 2 Ch. 10

    Yeah yeah paint yourself as the victim here while showcasing the suicide rates of marginalized people, and for what exactly? Your personal views on restriction? Just because you think you covered yourself by saying "I didn't actually compare them" doesn't make you immune lmao. That's like a kid...

    God you're insufferable. Concern-trolling about trans people to spout garbage that, by your own evidence, doesn't support your point of view, and responding with condecending hostility to actual arguments against your point. Having gender-affirming care is a choice. Comparing it to lobotomies...

    @readingsit My neighbors tried to get me to join Amway. If you don't think there are nuts out there, spend a few months in the South. Also you should at least talk aboutt geothermal if you're talking about alternate energy, it's the most viable and can even be used for smaller scale projects...

    @tamerlane Because disclaimers don’t work as the supplementary material is just reinforcement of taught prejudice The dream of a “politically neutral” education is impossible, as our view of the world is directly tied to politics to varying extents, including the belief that education is...

    @tamerlane you have a VERY specific definition of preservation that isn't exactly in line with what is conventionally considered "preservation" not every historically significant work is constantly in print, and certainly while profit plays a part, I disagree with you sentiment that putting a...

    @Mr_Detective Because of the work culture in Japan compounded by the previous incidents, it probably was the most practical way to deal with it at this point. Someone has to “take responsibility” to save face in their eyes.

    @tamerlane Well no, you actually used the word “socialist” (and your friend did so as well) to point out that Nazis could be Socialists, and incorrectly stated the poem referenced the Night of Broken Glass. (In reference to in-fighting, instead of the implication that Nazis are an existential...

    @tamerlane "Niemöller's original argument was premised on naming groups he and his audience would instinctively not care about. The omission of Communists in Washington, and of Jews in Germany, distorts that meaning and should be corrected."[1] In 1976, Niemöller gave the following answer in...

    @readingslit Yes they killed socialists, Nazis are fascists and the poem does not directly refer to the Nacht, but also doesn’t change the fact that Nazis aren’t socialists, they’re fascists The English text translated omitted “communists” for “socialists” because well, Cold War. Niemöller...

    @wowfucktron @Stupid_Goo @readingsit No, I don’t think one side is immune, I just know one side is proud of being plague rats, and making this whole shitty situation last longer. The Nazi regime was based on racial purity, and the distinction that all other ideologies were “tainted” by...

    @readingsit bud the poem is about the HOLOCAUST trying to say it isn't about them is absurd "both sides have crazies" yes but one doesn't believe in basic facts because of misinformation, and calls to violence.

    @Tamerlane Bud I tottaly understand the poem, I just think it's completely missing the point to use a poem about systemic opression of minorities, when defending a book that is well, racist. When I talk about good faith, I'm saying the people acting may THINK they're doing the right thing by...

    @Tamerlane Textbooks certainly go out of date for political reasons. They're directly connected, as they cover a variety of subjects with contentious material, and there is certainly political resistance to some things being included/ excluded, which includes examples such as: creationism...

    @Tamerlane And I'm saying it's not censorship to change books for the intent of firring modern society, regardless of your personal connection to said book, why should it stay in curriculum otehr then "I'm against ALL censorship" (even though you eradily admitted it's a roundabout consclusion...
