You wrote three paragraphs to demonstrate how thoroughly you missed the point of this extremely blunt comic. Don’t get mad at me for pointing this out, I’m just exposing my own opinion the to purifying effect of public discourse.

Maybe they don’t agree with the comic.

I think you misinterpreted their post as anger.

No, I anticipated an angry response to providing the kind of discourse they portrayed as necessary.

Why would I be angry about what you said? You’re allowed to have a different opinion on how to react to bigots.

Because I’ve put forth no constructive criticism, I’ve not tried to explain why you’re wrong or justify my own position, nor would I accept any arguments that you put forth to try and explain your position. If I could shout over you, I would do that too. I’m arguing in bad faith. I’m not here to debate you. I’m here to make people think you’re stupid by publicly making fun of you with cheap crowd pleasing rhetoric and imply what you said is wrong because of it. This is the tactic I will use to take control of this country and you seem to think I have a right to use it.

This is the kind of discourse someone attempts when they don’t feel they can declare their fucked up beliefs overtly.

I’d rather make them feel like they can declare their fucked up beliefs without hedging or room for doubt, then inform their employer, the businesses that deal with their employer, their family, their neighbors, etc with the receipts.

Oh good, you shouted down a nazi on a street corner ranting about the inferior this and the inferior that. They’ll now temper their message, keep their job, and slowly convert the new office runner with terms like “urban” and “not real Americans.” congratulations, you’ve now got a stealth Nazi staying low insidiously making more. Thanks a ton.

What you guys aren’t understanding in this frictionless hypothetical sphere of argument is that a single Nazi, by itself, is not a threat. The problem comes when this Nazi connects with other Nazis. If Nazis can’t publicly be Nazis then finding the other ones to gang up with becomes a lot harder.
