"It's wrong when they do it, it's okay if we do it."
Keeping a list of people openly putting out fascist paraphernalia is a good thing because people like this hide as soon as the wind turns against them. Don't let them fade into the background.
So...I'm with you. Fascists are bad, and we need to make sure that Fascists can't hide their fascism when and if we get this country sorted and back on its feet. But I have questions!
How do we ensure that we only catch Fascists? Your Magatmap seems to require an image, but no description.
What stops me from cooking up an AI image of somebody I don't like with Trump flags and swastika arm bands and getting them submitted to your system?
What happens if this guy was a Trumpet in 2016, but is apologetic about it now and swears he's no longer a trumpet?
How do you ensure that innocent people not get caught up in your MAGAt Map?
What are we supposed to do with the map afterwards?
Liberals have a good reason for questioning your methods here. We don't want to become what we hate because when you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares into you. We've seen it happen time and time again. And those of us who look at your suggestion wonder if we will become Nazis trying to fight Nazis your way.
Its not my map
MAGAt Map is like Family Watchdog. It provides locations to avoid for safety.
The Ohio Sheriff is advocating lists for retribution and mob violence using a position of power.
I hope you can see the difference.
Read the other comments here, that map will be used for mob violence, too
Nah, I can't think of anything negative happening based on a list of people, their beliefs, and addresses especially not in the 1930s
Do you actually know what you're talking about? Do you have anything other than opinion and unsupported questions to offer?
I didn't ask a question, so there's that. Just a suggestion: maybe you should ask yourself how you will make sure that your map is not used for mob violence and how you can make sure that unvetted and outdated information doesn't hurt innocent people. Shitty ideas don't get better by good intentions.
You're right, my bad. I thought you had asked a question and when I reread I was wrong.
Those are good questions. I still don't think this is a shitty idea with good intentions. It might just be a shit idea. Voting hasn't helped. Working with police hasn't help. Advocacy and protests haven't helped. Community hasn't helped. This is just another try.
Adding property records allows for a way to keep outdated information pruned. If the property sells, it can be removed.
Also, nothing on the website advocates violence or retaliation. Do you feel Family Watchdog should be taken down?
I'm sure the sheriff hasn't "advocated" for violence and retaliation either.
Reading the article, it's easy to see he has. Looking into his racist rhetoric, it's easy to see he has. Looking at his history... you guessed it!
What sounds more like a threat of violence:
We’ll already have the addresses of the their New families...who supported their arrival!
Or
You feel safe with [group]? Say, whats your address?
?
Oh, you're actually a full-on apologist. I thought you were trying for moral high ground.
Have a nice day and good luck on your future endeavors!
Sheriff suggests keeping a list of people who disagree with him politically.
Most people: "that's horrifying!"
You: furiously takes notes
Pointing out the obvious hypocrisy doesn't mean I'm defending anyone. Both of you are terrible people that no one should listen to.
Green wrote his guide to services and places relatively friendly to African Americans
Green founded and published the Green Book to avoid such problems, compiling resources "to give the Negro traveler information that will keep him from running into difficulties, embarrassments and to make his trip more enjoyable"
You've completely twisted the reality of what that book is. This was a guide on safe places, not your dystopian private citizen political tracker you're trying to promote.
You feel safe with fascists? Say, whats your address?
Does anyone here believe that these are equivalent, and that both of your statements are true?
it's a war. we're the good guys. glad you're catching on.
it's a war. we're the good guys.
Said by everyone who has ever participated in a way.
sure, but only one side can win. which side do you want that to be?
The side that's not making a map of everyone who disagrees with them so that they can punish them as soon as they have the power to do so.
maybe you should leave the country then. i'm here to win because i care about what this planet looks like after i'm gone. there is no place for cowards any more.
I don't live in your third world country where the only way to beat fascism is with your own list of "undesirables" to purge as soon as you have the power to do so.
i care about what this planet looks like after i'm gone
It's starting to look pretty faschy to me either way.
there is no place for cowards any more.
But to be clear: you're not calling for violence right?
for the record, i care about what happens to the planet. sometimes i say i don't for the sake of my own ego.
we've spoken before. i think you are a weak person with no solutions, content to allow the continual slide of our western society into dystopia. there is probably no reason for us to continue speaking as our values don't align.
i think you are a weak person
You sure, you're against MAGA? You sound exactly like them
no i just realize that you have to fight back. in a war, both sides use weapons. are you going to throw water balloons because you don't want to be like your opponent? wise up.
Fight back ≠ maintain a list of everyone who expresses something I disagree with so I can punish them in the future.
says who?
It's not exactly "fighting back" when they're not fighting you now, and won't be fighting you in the future when you make use of your list.
for the record, i care about what happens to the planet. sometimes i say i don't for the sake of my own ego.
No one said otherwise, did you reply to the wrong comment? Or did you not bother reading the previous comment before replying to it?
You've made it very clear that you want the planet to not have anyone on it who disagrees with you, and that's okay as long as you believe you are the "good guys." That's a talking point straight out of Israel.
we've spoken before.
I have no idea who you are so I guess your arguments weren't very compelling then either.
i think you are a weak person
Ad hominem does not discredit my points that your arguments sound the same as a fascist. If my argument is so "weak" it should be trivial to provide a counter argument.
there is probably no reason for us to continue speaking as our values don't align.
If you're only interested in communicating in an echo chamber of people who agree with you maybe this isn't the right place for you.
You don't fucking "win" in any context of what your talking about. For every person who you "eradicate" of conservative thinking just makes the pendulum of thinking swing harder to resist what your attempting to do. You sound like a child or autistic. I haven't decided which yet.
i think people would cheer to see swaths of conservatives cease to exist.
That's....weird to say about your fellow countrymen. Like treasonous almost.

Was https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Negro_Motorist_Green_Book used for violence? I'd say the benefit of providing safety is greater than the risk of bad actors.
