Even if a weapon is used 99% of the time for evil purposes, does that mean you should never use it?
People will fear that "If I use this powerful weapon I will become evil too!" but that's not how it works.
That weapon will only expose the evil that already exists. You are afraid of how evil you already are, and want to keep that hidden.
If you cannot confront your own desires then you will never be able to control them.

@VaxxersPostingTheirLs @Jackuu Doctors are just mechanics for the human body, and they will try to push whatever they can to get paid.
A shitty mechanic doesn't care if your car breaks later, and a shitty doctor doesn't care if you get better or not. They want it to stay bad, because they get more business anyways.

@Nudhul I want to help the people I like first and foremost. To that end, I will accomplish what I can and need to
@Nudhul Oh is "Jewish tactics" anything that works well? Because I want to use whatever I can. After the gun was invented people only used bows and arrows in warfare for so long before they adapted
I'm not going to ignore the reasons why somebody else is powerful and cripple myself for the sake of feeling righteous and honorable.

@Nudhul I didn't always think this way. I just wanted to be able to live my life, enjoy myself playing games and watching anime. They will never leave you alone. You will never be free until you carve out that freedom yourself.
@Nudhul Do what? Surely you don't want to outlaw guns because bad people use them.
I don't hate the current regime for their tactics, I hate them for their motivations

@Nudhul @Glowberg_Fedstein People use tactics that work. Are you going to stop using the internet because bad people use it too?
Tools can be used for good or for evil. The tools are not good or evil themselves.

@Nudhul If you kill somebody because they wanted to hurt your children, or because you wanted to have fun and see them suffer.
Both cases are murder, but the motivations of the person doing it are very important.
Left and right may use similar tactics, but the reasons they are used are the important distinction.

@Nudhul Then what is it exactly?
When you burn down the books of a sex reassignment surgery clinic in Weimar germany, is that the same as censoring anything that affirms biological differences between the sexes? Because it seems you just call both of them "fascism" despite the very clear differences in motivation

@Nudhul @JSDorn @lewdthewides Yes, you seem to think all authoritarianism is "fascist" no matter what it is used for
@Nudhul @JSDorn @lewdthewides Because you don't seem to understand the difference between equality and hierarchy. Yes the middle east and eastern europe is slightly more right wing, but western europe and america have gone so far left that they have zero conception of what "right" even is. It's easy to think that "fascist" just means authoritarian.
@Nudhul @JSDorn @lewdthewides For the right wing definition? Why do you think so many Africans have been imported into Europe in the past decade, to the point that London is over 50% non-white. Was it due to any of those right wing ideals in the slightest? Of course not.
@JSDorn @lewdthewides @Nudhul Even wikipedia has a decent definition of left and right wing, people just don't want to accept it
@MechaSilvio @borzoi @loghdub Yeah, due to the prevalence of bad actors you need some way to track who is saying what. Full anon works when mostly everybody is there to have fun, not to control.
@loghdub @borzoi Yes their recent strategy has been to make things more boring, and simultaneously to stifle anything that may be fun or exciting. However that just causes people to leave as well, but in a far less controlled manner than a site shutdown does. Now they can't even really trace where people have been going to, which is why places like this federated social media site have been growing recently. They will never win.
I want to learn some kind of martial arts. I feel like judo would be good to learn, does anybody here have thoughts on that?
@loghdub Here is an infographic that was made for directing the discussion on imageboards.
