The thing that NOBODY seems to understand, or maybe not willing to admit is, you CANNOT group people together.

It's the whole reason racism logically makes no sense. At all.

"Oh, all those dirty (insert race here) are good for nothin! They're all assholes!"

And sure, regardless of what race you inserted there, there's going to be some assholes. There's also going to be some amazing people that you're unfairly judging.

And it's not just races. It's anything. Races, genders, religions, countries, social groups, book clubs, whatever.

If you think all people of one group think the same on everything, you're just factually wrong. And if you use that incorrect fact to judge that group, now you're just an asshole.

I've found that people th]?6ink judging people is bad, and wrong. I don't think so. I think some people are just terrible at judging people, and miss the point of judging people. You're supposed to judge them as an individual. Not as (insert group here).

I think we can safely shit on Nazis as a whole, though.

My critic to what the other guy said, is that you can judge a group of that group is specific enough to judge them on these characteristics.

Are all christians bad? Hell no. Active adult members of the Westboro Baptist Church? Hell yes. They are bad because their website is literally godhatesfags.com.

Now Nazis are fucking Nazis. 11 millions murders should be enough to judge them as a group and those who liked it.

Always found it weird that there are people who believe that the immortal and all powerful creator of the universe is for some reason deeply, deeply concerned with what ~10% of a particular branch of weird hairless apes decides to do with their genitals enough to do things like call down plagues and natural disasters over it. Like that's just....such an extreme level of being a gooner that it's even more absurd than the whole monotheistic God of everything idea to begin with.

Clearly the universe was created by committee - that's how you end up with things like the platypus when the bird team and the mammal team are forced to compromise on a design to get the product shipped on time.
