    It’s also what Isaac Bashevis Singer, Jewish Holocaust survivor did.

    “What do they know-all these scholars, all these philosophers, all the leaders of the world - about such as you? They have convinced themselves that man, the worst transgressor of all the species, is the crown of creation. All other creatures were created merely to provide him with food, pelts, to be tormented, exterminated. In relation to them, all people are Nazis; for the animals it is an eternal Treblinka.”

    A Holocaust survivor is calling people like you Nazis. Stop and think. Take responsibility. Stop reacting, stop defending, and use your head to tell right from wrong.

      the Holocaust was bad, in part, because it treated people like animals. his opinion isn’t well reasoned moral philosophy.

        I’m really glad I made a PieFed instance, because it means I get to ban people like you who obstinately push realist authoritarian points that were rebutted several messages ago, like you’re on some kind of script for exhausting the enemy. MULTIVERSE’s rule about limited authoritarianism is something I’m really proud of in how it specifically bans these kinds of tactics which are optimised to exhaust and/or intimidate the left wing opposition.

        I mean I know you by reputation, I’ve seen you do this kind of thing before. But I still gave you the benefit of the doubt today, and it’s making this tankie ban feel just so much more satisfying.
