Donald Trump continues to kill it in the Anime/Nazi fanboy demographic

@bluecat: Never mind public executions. Google “lynching postcards” and prepare to have any good feeling you had today shattered.

Well, considering being against Hitler is transphobic, I would be careful when using him as a way to put people down. Sex reassignment surgeries began in 1930s Germany and Mendel’s discoveries in medicine were invaluable when it comes to that subject in particular. It’s very possible that without Hitler, we wouldn’t have a decent way to change a person’s sex, so dissing him is transphobic.

@ Nequam

Oh lordie, I know! Not googling them today – I’m having a nice day thanks, apart from thinking about Hitler which is also interesting – but I’ve seen pics of people having a nice day out under the trees where people are hanging.

I worked in a women’s college in a country where capital punishment is enshrined in the law. The college is halfway along a major highway with a prison at one end and a zoo at the other (we were between a prison and a zoo: the men’s college was between the zoo and the sewage works). Executions did happen, but quietly and were never publicised. But about 12 years before I got there, there had been a high profile robbery and murder case, with several victims. One of the perpetrators turned out to be a policeman who abused his position to indentify and murder bank employees carrying money.

He and a couple of others were found guilty, executed and then their bodies displayed on the prison wall. Old-timers at the college remembered the traffic jam solid in all lanes on the highway as people came to see, bringing their children with them.

I know a little bit about the Ainu and Burakumin, but nothing about the other minority groups mentioned. Guy, PoM, do either of you have suggested reading?

How did I miss that deliciously absurd post on the second page? I really hope that it’s a poe of some kind, but poes are only poes because you can imagine that someone is this bad somewhere.

Well, considering being against Hitler is transphobic, I would be careful when using him as a way to put people down.

Irrational and illogical.
This can only be true if people are against Hitler for reasons thematically connected to trans people. So I suppose that you have something like this? I didn’t think so.

Sex reassignment surgeries began in 1930s Germany and Mendel’s discoveries in medicine were invaluable when it comes to that subject in particular.

And if true this is connected to disliking Hitler for xenophobia, bigotry, pogroms and the holocaust how?

It’s very possible that without Hitler, we wouldn’t have a decent way to change a person’s sex, so dissing him is transphobic.

Only if the dissing has something to do with sex reassignment surgery. I think you want to defend Hitler but you can’t actually do so for the reasons that you want so you have to try to shield yourself with something that people here care about like a coward.

Not to mention that you’re also dissing job benefits, cafeterias at your workplace and paid vacations.

More shielding yourself with things people here care about. To avoid being a coward in the future you should actually address the reasons that people actually dislike Hitler for.

So, who in their right mind would be against Hitler?

People that don’t like xenophobic bigotry, pogroms and holocausts.

Sure he killed a bunch of Jews, but if the Jew Netanyahu is to be trusted – which if you don’t what are you a Nazi – is because the Muslims told him.

Because no one could possibly have a reason to distrust Netanyahu beyond the fact that he is a Jew right? And who needs the evidence of what these Muslims might have told him, after all you Hitler loving types are known for your trust of Muslims.
(“fist of god” level sarcasm)

His original plan was to export them back to Israel, but Muslims were like “Oh, hell no. We don’t want them here, you have to kill them, m8. 360 noscope them and throw them in the gas chambers”

Well how awesome for Hitler! That makes it all better! Now that I know that his xenophobic bigotry led him to only want to tear people from their homes and lives and dump them in another country I’m totes fine with him now!
*vomits*

Let some liberal retard now act as if I meant that seriously. Or as if I used liberal as an insult in that sentence.

By now I’m pretty sure that you are utterly incapable of using liberal in any sense other than as an insulting caricature of whatever reality you are trying to describe.

@guy
I see now. Thanks!

guy/wikipedia:

According to census statistics, 98.5% of the population of Japan are Japanese, with the remainder being foreign nationals residing in Japan.[2] However, these statistics measure citizenship, not ethnicity, with all domestic minorities such as the Ainu, Ryukyuans, Burakumin, Hafu, and naturalized immigrants being counted as simply “Japanese.”[3] The Japanese government refuses to collect data on the ethnic identities of its citizens, claiming that there are no issues of race relations among Japanese citizens as they are all of the same race.[4]

Note that “hafu” or “haafu” is just the Japanese pronunciation of the English word “half”, and is used to refer to a mixed-race person with one Japanese parent.

Also, burakumin is not an ethnic group, but rather a holdover from fedual Japan. Japan used to be a caste-ridden society, and the burakumin were at the bottom of the social hierarchy, akin to the untouchables in India. They were often those who did jobs considered “unclean”, which led to them being ostracised. So, in rural areas they tended to concentrate in their own deprived communities: “burakumin” means “hamlet people” (no, nothing to do with dressing up and singing about the YMCA).

The caste system was officially dissolved under the Meiji Restoration, but deprivation and prejudice can’t be solved with the stroke of a pen, and such comminities still exist, though it’s something most Japanese people are reluctant to speak about.

Hello.

Do not also forget that the svastika is a hindu and a buddhist symbol. On the japanese maps, the svastika symbol represents buddhist temples (“tera”). Some persons wear the svastika as an indication of their faith, the same way Christians may wear cross as ornaments/jewelry or Jew may wear the David star, and so on.

No, this picture does not show the path to not-so-secret-nazi-hideout-with-surfer-zombi-nazis-in.

Now, how many of these haters take the meaning of this symbol in japanese arts for the one they prefer ? Sadly a lot, i fear.

Have a nice day.

If you’re covering the Rick Wilson episode, you should probably cover this facet, too: Wilson’s college-aged son administers an elaborate “red pill” subreddit and corresponding website. The Wilsons insist that the content on this site, including sadistic rape fantasies and rampant use of the n-word, constitutes a “harmless joke.”

Trigger warning, this stuff is revolting:

David Furtelle, I agree with you the vast majority of the time but this post was entirely inappropriate. Simply happening to like anime has nothing to do with liking Trump or being an MRA or whatever.

Effectively you are saying a person’s random lifestyle choice (such as liking Anime) automatically guarantees what their political beliefs would be, or that they would be a bigot.

Fighting Misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, racism etc are all perfectly respectable. But by saying “hahaha, they’re all a bunch of anime nerds” you become just as bad as they are.

So what. *some* people who happen to like Anime or video games or whatever also like Trump and misogyny. There are plenty that don’t.

Roosh V, for example talks about how anime and video games are a waste of time and ‘real macho men’ wouldn’t bother with them.

Again, there isn’t a connection one way or the other between liking Anime and being a bigot. The fact that you are attacking the ideological ‘other side’ by attacking lifestyle choices some of them may happen to have makes you a bigot as well, in my eyes.
