No, of course not. Their killing firepower would probably be too low for your liking.”

A clear historical reference to 19th century weaponry would suggest the post is a joke to all save for those with a certain, controversial mental disorder.

“Chairman Mao and his apparatchiks would be the biggest murderers of the Chinese people since Chinggis Khan and his Mongol hordes.”

With one important difference. Since the 1990s, China has seen the largest decrease in poverty in modern history. Moreover, China’s relations with the US were crucial for the latter in not only winning the Cold War, but also providing its citizens with loads of cheap goods(also vital for that effort). You should thank Mao every time you get up in the morning.

Who knows, maybe when he posted his messages on a forum, he also might have been joking at that point.

“Are you trying to imply that I was literally advocating the use of 19th century weaponry on protesters?”

No, of course not. Their killing firepower would probably be too low for your liking.

“the biggest mass murderer was Mao”

Chairman Mao and his apparatchiks would be the biggest murderers of the Chinese people since Chinggis Khan and his Mongol hordes.

In the course of this obsessive rant, you obviously didn’t notice that THE ARTICLE DIDN’T SAY his “fantasizing” is a felony. Constructing and deploying an explosive device is the felony. His fantasies only tell us about his political motives.

” Especially since we have this Ruslan here who frequently expresses his own murderous fantasies, like “mowing down” with cannon fire the crowds of elderly and middle aged men who hold Confederate flags, devotingly defends Stalin, the NKVD and USSR crimes against humanity with passion, and glees with joy about past historical misfortunes and tragedies that have happened against Europeans.”

You’re a laugh riot. First of all, my statement about “double canister” for the Confederates was clearly a joke, in reference to Pickett’s Charge. Are you trying to imply that I was literally advocating the use of 19th century weaponry on protesters? Really?

And as for your other nonsense, defending actual history vs. rabid anti-Communist hysterical claims cannot be considered “fantasizing” by any stretch of the language. You say I am defending these tragedies? Well then so are you, in a fashion- you speak of these “crimes” as “tragedies that have happened against Europeans.” Yet even the most rabid anti-Communists claim the biggest mass murder was Mao; and in the USSR supposedly millions of non-Europeans died. But you don’t care about them.

If you want to see “misfortune” and “tragedy” happening to Europeans, just look at Eastern Europe today. In the FSU alone, people have experienced the largest increase in poverty in history(not involving a war).

” I was kinda surprised that he didn’t say how much he wishes if only there was GPU and NKVD death squads, to slaughter and annihilate the entire portions of U.S population that don’t follow his Soviet way of thinking, so that there would be no one left to hinder the leftist wet dreams of creating a beige-complexioned Stalinist utopia”

Have you ever managed to actually address someone’s argument, or is it always strawmen? Nevermind, rhetorical question. There’s something about your last line that piques my curiosity. Do you believe me to be “non-white”(in your view of white)? It helps if I understand the depths of your fantasy.

Next time try READING the article you are commenting on rather than obsessing over me. (Or at least come out against me sooner rather than gnashing your teeth and saving up for a pathetic broadside like this).

“Unfortunately most extremists have rendered themselves incapable of thinking,” I agree, but where I live, this kind of thinking has really caught fire, and the teacher that I mentioned earlier is passing along his beliefs to young students; no one else is standing up to him from what I can see. It may be that the best I can hope for is to prevent a few people from adopting this ideology rather than trying to turn those who have already become rigid, but at least that is something.

Don’t get me wrong; it’s not like I’m suggesting that we go running up to people like this and burying them in a hug. I don’t like how they’re behaving any better than you do. It’s just that every time I have confronted an extremist with an angry tone, I just ended up getting into a shouting match (and in one case, I very nearly got into a fight).

I realize that some people are too dangerous and cannot be swayed, and we need to protect ourselves from them. But if I can get even a small number of people to stop and think, I will do so.

I respectfully refuse.

What can we do about this? For starters, I think that it is more important than ever for us to teach youths how to be “smart info shoppers” on the Internet. For example, we can give them a standard list of questions to ask themselves before taking something that they read as fact. Here are some questions that would be on my list: Does the author provide facts to back up his/her opinions? Does the author cite the sources of his/her information? What do other websites and/or non-Internet-based sources have to say about this subject? Do the author’s statements coincide or conflict with your personal experiences?

But we need to talk to adults as well. Here’s a real-life example of how I’m going to approach it: One of the social studies teachers at a high school in my town constantly remarks to his class about how much he dislikes the President and Nancy Pelosi. At one point last semester, he stated that he was going to write the name of the (now former) Speaker of the House on the board; he then wrote “Nancy Witch Pelosi”. Another time, he told his students that if the President were ever to walk into his classroom, he would order him to leave immediately. My first inclination was to lecture him sternly about how it was not appropriate for him to use classroom time to preach intolerance toward politicians, but I realized that he had probably already heard things like that before. Instead, my letter to him will go something like this: “I have heard that you once told your students that if President Obama were to enter the room, you would order him to leave. You certainly have the right to say what you believe, but I am concerned that what your students will take away from this is that it is ok to be openly disrespectful to anyone with whom they disagree. Please elaborate on why you believe your remarks were appropriate in the classroom.” Instead of making an accusation, I intend to simply state a concern and invite the teacher to explain his intentions.

It is up to all of us to confront intolerance, but to be effective, we need to set a good example by treating everyone whom we confront with unconditional civility, no matter how cruel or insensitive they seem to be.

Yeah, like there’s no mafia.

It shows us that the lunatic is suffering from mental illnesses. And possibly off his meds. His mental breakdown, isn’t uncommon. As many WNs suffer from extreme cases of paranioa, fear and other sorted afflictions. His supposed fears wasn’t of the unknown. But fear of the non-White, unity and change.

Everyone else is advancing forward, while his kind is retrograded.

Non Sequitur: I do recommend the novel by Francine Prose, A Changed Man. The title might be, *The* Changed Man.

As someone who grew up under segregation in this country, there were many times I lived in fear, including the very real fear of losing my life and of losing family members due to the hatred others had for us because we did not look like them, but we never thought of attacking them in violent ways. IMO, anyone who endorses the use of violence against others for any reason doesn’t value our Constitution, or the principles on which this country was founded.

Right or wrong, this is what he’s expressing.
What do most people do when they are in this state of mind?

Does your rhetoric represent a shield…….
or a sword.
