  • If a nazi walks into a bar and everyone else leaves, it becomes a nazi bar.

  • Got it. Unshifting goalposts is shifting the goalposts now.

  • If a nazi walks into a bar and everyone else leaves, it becomes a nazi bar.

  • Is it shifting the goalpost when I'm trying to bring a conversation back to my original point?

    Admittedly, it's hard to keep track of every thread in this discussion, which is why I'm trying to stick to reason I posted.

  • If a nazi walks into a bar and everyone else leaves, it becomes a nazi bar.

  • I agree with that last quote.

    But what I'm noticing is a reducing of the original saying to mean any place with a nazi is a nazi bar, and therefore contaminated. Taking back online and IRL communities from nazis involves sharing space and occasionally having a dialogue.

    If someone has a close relationship with a nazi, to the point where they think they can change their mind, it's their duty to try. Otherwise the nazi is only going to hang out with other nazis and become more of a shit head.

    In the end I think we all agree there should be fewer nazis, but maybe we disagree on how to do that.

  • If a nazi walks into a bar and everyone else leaves, it becomes a nazi bar.

  • My shower thought wasn't that hard to understand either, which was about taking control of spaces rather than treating a nazi like the single drop that spoils the batch.

  • If a nazi walks into a bar and everyone else leaves, it becomes a nazi bar.

  • If you went through covid without anyone you knew going down the crazy hole, you must not know many people.

  • If a nazi walks into a bar and everyone else leaves, it becomes a nazi bar.

  • They did try to promote their beliefs online and were fully into Q Anon and Alex jones.

    I disagree with the complete lack of nuance, we invited them with the understanding that they weren't allowed to bring up any opinions against any group of people, as sort of soft intervention.

    They've since come out as non-binary and seem to have dropped the bullshit. We're not close anymore, though.

    In the end, I saw the opportunity to help get rid of a nazi. It's not a contagious disease anymore than not being a nazi.

  • If a nazi walks into a bar and everyone else leaves, it becomes a nazi bar.

  • What does that have to do with what I said? That the people who exist in the same place as a nazi are nazis by default?

  • If a nazi walks into a bar and everyone else leaves, it becomes a nazi bar.

  • Is every place that accepts socialists a socialist place? Every place with queer folk a gay place?

    I had a formerly liberal friend go down a dark path, so I invited them over for dinner with my queer, socialist pals to try to show them a sense of community and opinions that were lacking in their online echo chamber. Did my place become a nazi house?

  • That's true, you discover a lot of rules that have already been written, but remember them better because you understand why they're there.

    I post a lost of my stuff through my other account, wren@lemmy.today. Oh, and on my !Art_Alchemist_Guild@lemmy.today

    I'll cross post my next binding attempt here. I'm working on a little burnt-edge notebook for a friend, I just didn't like the hard spine I made, so I'm waiting on a leather order to come in.

  • Felted paintbrush cases

  • Thanks for saying so. I really enjoy working different textures into it.

  • Felted paintbrush cases

  • Thanks! Yes, I'm very medieval-fairy-chic. The brush-roll-up is a classic way to keep your tips in ship-shape and your handles from snapping during transport. Lots of folks use canvas or leather, I just happen to do a lot of felting — It's a fairly forgiving, low-barrier art form if you want to try it out.

  • I made a journal

  • I -just- bought some bookbinding supplies to start learning. My first two tries look no where as nice as this, then I remembered online tutorials are a thing.
