P'dox taught me its all one Germanic religion so...
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."
I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I'm embarrassed to say it took me a while to figure that out.

It's cool. He's worshipping Wodan rather than Odin.

Why call it Norse then? I am unconvinced.

One can certainly draw a moral equivalence between Fascists and Communists.

FOr it to be relevant though, one would need to actually have both sides show up to the party.

Great protest design



I always preferred albums, but I think that's going too far.

Are you saying that the white supremacists and Nazis who marched in Charlottesville are hard to tell apart from the counter protestors? Or are you speaking of another set of neo-Nazis/KKKers and social justice warriors?

No, I am saying that it is often hard to tell the online white supremacists from the online social justice warriors. Both advocate extreme "fuck those guys, they are pure evil and deserve the worst" positions.

There have been some masked left-wing violent protestors that may be hard to tell from the Neo-Nazis and their ilk, but I've never seen any good-quality images of those guys, so can't say for sure.

they're very relevant in Canada.

Indeed the Reds are in charge, but few Canadians realise, because it's hidden in plain sight:

If we're limiting our moral equivalence discussion to America, I'll probably agree.  Though that's not the point I started out making.

And I will note in passing that Communists didn't historically broadcast all the people they wanted to kill before they got to power.

Look at some point in the past - and maybe in the future - I would be happy to engage in a "Nazis and Communists how equally bad are they (or not)" debate.

Right now I think it's a bit of a distraction given how the far right and Nazis are flourishing and encouraged by your current president. Once (crossing fingers) they're out of the limelight and your country is back on track, we can have those debates. But like I said - I don't think Communists are relevant in the US or Canada so the debate isn't really that interesting to me at this point.

And - and this is aimed at spicy - antifa types aren't Communists anyhow, they're usually anarchists of various stripes. And whatever other failings and shortcomings can be laid at the feet of anarchists, organized mass murder isn't one of them.

Antifa are far left. They're violent extremists. I don't care if they technically are communists or not.

So anyone who violently opposed the Nazis in the 1930s would be an extremist in your book too?
