Hey look over here everyone!!! I found one!

Hahahaha! No! Not with neo-nazis. Look with racists and bigots I'll agree, try compassion first. I've done that and for most racists and bigots I've confronted it has worked. I didn't change them to be a champion of minorities but usually I can convince someone to behave nicer. Neo-nazis on the other hand are not just regular racists and bigots who say terrible things but don't actually do anything. Neo-nazis are the extreme and if they're an adult regardless of their life experience they know what they're saying is wrong. So no, I have no compassion and will never have compassion for an adult who is a neo-nazi. Period.

I'm glad to see that the strategy of compassion has worked for you in some cases. It's a nuanced topic, but I firmly believe that if we want to be progressive & inclusive we need to adopt a mindset of 'no man left behind'.
Again, it's nuanced and it takes a lot of effort. Perhaps I am oversimplifying things too much, on the other hand, I think that we will not be better off by casting out anyone.

The problem with this quote is that everyone thinks they're the strong men. In other words, it's mostly useless rhetoric that doesn't really identify the problem.

Every life matters
You started from a faulty assumption. Nazi lives don't matter.

RATM supported Sendero Luminoso.
Fuck RATM.
The Shining Path has been widely condemned for its excessive brutality, including violence deployed against peasants, trade union organizers, competing Marxist groups, elected officials and the general public.[2]
...
The Shining Path's retaliation to this was one of the worst attacks in the entire conflict, with a group of guerrilla members entering the town and going house by house, killing dozens of villagers, including babies, with guns, hatchets, and axes. This action has come to be known as the Lucanamarca massacre.[39] Additional massacres of civilians by the Shining Path would occur throughout the conflict.[26][40][41]
...
American rock band Rage Against the Machine released a music video for their 1993 song "Bombtrack" as a response to the arrest of Abimael Guzman the previous year. The video expresses support for Guzman and the Shining Path, featuring various clips of the organization's activities, as well as showing the band in a cage to mimic Guzman's imprisonment.[145]

Go back to /pol/, Nazi.
-
Did Abimael Guzman's life matter?
-
I have to look him up on Wikipedia, so he doesn't really matter to me. He's not a Nazi though, so maybe?
Sorry it's just the way it is with Nazis. Thet only good one is a dead one. Just accept it.
-
Nothing's changed.
Blacks have it as bad today as they did 40 years ago.
-
Guzman has the blood of Peruvian peasants on his hands.
-
Ok but we talking about Nazis, and the principle stands.
-
hahaha, slurs. so funny and so original

I'm Canadian. Do something about your problem, you're fucking up my country too.

You have a big heart, and that's a good thing. I could not disagree with you more. 'No man left behind' is a noble code to live to but I think that following it to an absolute sense defeats it's purpose. 'No man left behind' to me means anybody on my team is never alone. The key is they have to be on my team and in this case everyone who isn't a nazi is on my team. Neo-nazis have made real threats against people who I'm on the same team with and I would be leaving them behind if I didn't oppose neo-nazis. If it comes to it, yeah Nazi lives don't matter.
I'm not saying hunt them down and kill them. I'm saying take the ones who have actually done terrible things, put them in prison. Tell them to either grow up and change, or stay behind bars until they're so insignificant that there's no need to hold them anymore or until they die naturally. Holding neo-nazis accountable shouldn't be controversial. If that requires taking their life I won't shed any tears, but that is absolutely a last resort.

Thanks for your insight. I should have made clearer in my original comment that me saying that all lives matter does not equate to 'Neo-nazi's should walk free'. If the life of you or a person you care about is in immediate danger, then obviously that threat needs to be dealt with accordingly. We actually agree on pretty much everything.
I think for me the difference for now is in the recognition that while we as a civilization seem to be heading towards big trouble, most of us privileged enough to sit and type comments on an online discussion forum are not in actual immediate physical danger. It is therefore useless to me to think about crossing the line of taking lives, either for me or by me.
All I wish for is that when it is all said and done, we can all focus on improving lives, instead of ruining them. There is a lot of work that needs to be done before that though...
-
Pretty sure that is your monarchy-supporting inbred country.
-
Ok, so you're a troll. Thank you for the clarification.
My statement still stands. You need to clean up your own mess, how you and your fellow citizens decide to do that is up to you. You do have the Declaration of Independence, the Second Amendment, and the ability.
-
LOL and you have the inbred queen, well king now.
