Sure we do, there are lots of things (usually genocides) that are considered crass or hateful to deny or downplay (let's be honest he was downplaying, he certainly wasn't suggesting the numbers were underestimated!)

I guess it comes down to this: If you're an already racist nut job and start questioning the holocaust, then I assume you're acting in bad faith and are racist. Anything else would be supremely naive, sorry, I don't have to be infinitely credulous.

Yes and I accept that they won't respect me. I do not demand that they respect me, it's fine, of course they won't respect me if they find me abhorrent. I don't care.

>The grown up thing is to accept that and still be able to hold meaningful dialogue.

Not really, I don't debate every one and every topic. It's totally valid to just write people off as bastards based on their behaviour and move on with your life.

No thanks, because a person is not a group of ideas + a mind.

"the best advice I would give to white people is to get the hell away from black people; just get the fuck away"

It is true that this is an evil and racist thing to say.

> when it's really just this person disagreed with Scott's political views

white supremacism isn't just a small policy difference.

If you hold hateful beliefs in which you believe certain people are inferior based on superficial traits like skin colour, why should you expect to be treated with respect? I disrespect such people because I don't respect them, I am if nothing else being sincere.

In reality we are their closest and truest friends and yet they’re relentlessly shitting all over us, even threatening to invade now. The only comfort is that the USA will inevitably reap what it is sowing.

>In the end, the investigation will likely show that neither of the two extreme interpretations currently polarizing public opinion is correct.

is just a mad, mad take. It is literal prejudice, either way. Just an opinion based on basically nothing.

Well, it's certainly clear that Trump is a revolutionary force rather than a conservative one ;)

Even going the Trotskyist route of working to export revolution abroad!

Modern day MAGA Americans are not worthy inheritors of the great nation their ancestors built. You've become OK with your own government murdering you, lol.

Lol. And there we have it :)

So easy to not be emotional when your enemies are the ones being killed I guess ;)

> People demonize ICE

ya cos they murder people lol

And since when did Americans become such boot lickers?

What point were you trying to make? You just assumed these work in progress pipelines were really nearly done already? Why didn't you do some research? Why assume they exist?

If the likes of JD Vance are pushing for us to adopt his idea of free speech, you can be sure it's a bad idea.
