As a devil's advocate; what if they allowed ECC by default and manufacturers became overly reliant on it to make certain RAM chips binnable that never should have been?

I understand the distinction, and see what you mean.

There's also nowhere to shoot in most red states, except ranges and private land. They sold it all. BLM land is almost non-existent and NSFS that doesn't have wildlife conservation efforts (thus making much shooting illegal) is exceptionally rare to come by. So most of it has to be done at ranges. Gate keeping ranges would exclude people from shooting altogether.

Not with that attitude, they won't.

I mean, I tolerate leftists but not always without discord. If you look at my history -- really, feel free -- you'll see that I go to bat with them all the time. I'm 100% on board with this message:

How about getting pissed off that 7 million leftist can muster the energy to drive miles to stand around for a single day but can’t be bothered to fight the spread of right wing bullshit.

There's no disagreement, here. I call them out all the time. It's.. like what I do.

You seem to be under the impression that I may be part of the tolerant non-auth left. I am not. I am part of the intolerant non-auth left. The right wing is stupid. Fuck 'em and their sympathizers. Also, you're a right-wing apologist if you're actually 'leaning left' as you claim. For your.. uhh.. self-awareness.

I commend you for using yourself as an example. You're right. The bar to participate in politics should be raised above you. Unfortunately.. that's not really democracy, anymore. But good argument. I still stand by your right to vote. Even if it hurts a bit inside.

The quest to find the true bloodninja continues.

Looks like you're not the washed up one, after all.

Have you ever tried to out crazy the crazy and force them to try to take the reasonable stance? It's cathartic.

I guess the message I'm not getting is that they believe WWII didn't solve fascism in the US so that extrapolates to today's issues. Thus, according to them, violence is bad. The reason I never acknowledged this message is because we never fought a war against fascism in the US, and thus fascist elements were largely shielded from the violence and never dealt with, only suppressed. So I found that entire argument too absurd to consider.

I get you and respect your approach. I'm referring primarily to a discussion I've had with them before. I'll roughly quote myself from another thread: Treating fascists like fascists by being fascist doesn't make you fascist. It makes you reasonable. This is what treating intolerance with intolerance is and feels like. He's arguing in favor of horseshoe theory. A common tactic to dissuade people from fighting back against violence. They also believe the United States isn't becoming more fascist. This isn't an oddity, it's part of a dangerous message.

Whether they're cognizant or not isn't important because they simply refuse to debate or accept fair criticism of their approach. Also, if you have time: Could you qualify in what case history has attested to their point of view? I can only think of the rise of communism and the left vs right political violence in Germany-pre WWII that someone might consider that. Europe did not become more fascist after WWII, to my knowledge but I'm at risk of sounding like I'm trying to argue your point with that.

I advocate for intolerance towards intolerance which is a choice that fascists make. Fascists victimize people not for choices, but for circumstances outside an individual's control. That difference is the difference between the just and the unjust.
