Yes, mocking some internet goofball’s long, tedious justification of racism is *exactly* like a cop killing some kid in a park for playing with a toy.

My point is that being convinced that holding views you disagree with is "completely out of their decision space" is an unhelpfully high standard for engaging in reasoned discourse with someone. It's a recipe for building echo chambers, rather than an actual exchange of ideas.

The purpose is to prevent evil ideas from being exchanged The goal, if you call that an "echo chamber", is to build a chamber that fills the world That's what "Never Again" means, it means NEVER

This rhetoric reminds me strongly of the following conversation: "It's not easy to see something that's never been before. A good world." "How do you know? How do you know what will be good?" "Because I know what is good" (1/2)

"What about everyone else? All the other people who think they know what's good." "They don't get to choose." Perhaps you recognize where this conversation is from. (2/2)

That’s from that TV show that decided that the woman who went around freeing slaves was ultimately the villain, right?

Yeah arguing for milquetoast liberal tolerance based on a work of fiction written by milquetoast liberals isn't much of an argument, except for the thesis that Hollywood is filled with milquetoast liberals

It's the same guys who were gonna do a TV show about an alternate universe where chattel slavery never ended and we get to see what a high-tech 21st-century Confederate States of America would look like How exciting, how fun Lots of morally gray dilemmas I'm sure

I like how the Game of Thrones finale was so interested in these difficult themes of slavery and oppression that it gave us a detailed, thoughtful explanation of what the fuck happened to the Unsullied after Daenerys dies

They totally didn't just send them to Naath where the other Black character comes from and completely forget about the thing where the toxic butterflies kill all foreigners I'm sure it all worked out

Of course, I'm just an angry SJW nitpicker, which is why this is a minority opinion and the ending of Game of Thrones was so universally beloved and praised, to my great frustration as a lonely outnumbered critic
