Atticus Finch Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 11 hours ago, Warrior said: First of all, when did we ever stop teaching about Hitler and other despots? I learned about World War II and the Holocaust in many history classes, and those lessons certainly never painted Hitler or Mussolini as heroes. And as lieutenant governor, Robinson ought to know that education on the Holocaust and genocide is required by state statute, and federal law has provided funding for Holocaust education since 2020. Of course, “Mein Kampf” is probably excluded from most reading lists, and that’s perfectly fine — reading it is unnecessary even when teaching students about the horrors of Hitler. And while Robinson and his peers insist that children these days are being brainwashed by Marxist ideals, I was taught to regard communism in a strictly negative light. In fact, the only thing I actually learned about communism was that it was bad, even if I didn’t understand what it was. That experience isn’t unique to me, but it must not be good enough for Robinson and Republicans in other states. Florida, for example, now has a law designating Nov. 7 as “Victims of Communism Day” and requiring students to receive lessons about the “evils of communism.” The reason Robinson even brought up Hitler was to defend a Moms for Liberty chapter that recently received backlash for quoting Hitler in a newsletter. Robinson claimed it was no different than quoting Hitler in a history book. But history books put the quotes in context, and the newsletter did not — it quoted Hitler talking about “owning” the youth as if it were words of inspiration from Mother Teresa.

Atticus Finch Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 10 hours ago, Warrior said: Here's the context. He was talking about gun control narratives. He was saying gun control and restrictions were enacted by the Weimar Republic long before Hitler. Idiot It's hard to underestimate how stupid Mark Robinson is. But let me give some more context: he has a lot of posts defending Hitler and the Nazis. He's similar to concha in that he's *not* exactly hostile to his regime. Some would say he likes them because they, too, were right-wing. Given every opportunity to retract, rephrase or restate his comments he has refused. Like this. Kill baby Hitler? No, no! "Folks always talk about killing 'baby Hitler' to spare humanity from extreme misery," Robinson wrote in 2017, per Jewish Insider. "But if you really wanna do humanity a favor go back and kill 'baby Friedrich Engels' and 'toddler Karl Marx.'" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atticus Finch Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 10 hours ago, Warrior said: Here's the context. He was talking about gun control narratives. He was saying gun control and restrictions were enacted by the Weimar Republic long before Hitler. Idiot By the way, this is a typically stupid and ahistorical argument. It's interesting that conservatives always use the Nazis as an example against gun control and not, you know, against murdering Jews. This is a short excerpt from a New York Times op-ed by a history professor at the University of Vermont. A concise refutation of such nonsense. The Jews of Germany constituted less than 1 percent of the country's population. It is preposterous to argue that the possession of firearms would have enabled them to mount resistance against a systematic program of persecution implemented by a modern bureaucracy, enforced by a well-armed police state, and either supported or tolerated by the majority of the German population. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I do appreciate getting to see the whole post, it's not exculpatory as you seem to think it is. We have dozens of examples of this guy riffing on the Nazis and the Jews. His positions aren't that muddy. Also, I know that you only have a few canned lines in your talking points but, not, this is no from MSNBC. 👇 17 hours ago, Atticus Finch said: You must be confused again about what reporting is.

Atticus Finch Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 Just now, Warrior said: I can point out that you’re wrong about your opinions while disagreeing. All you have to do is *actually* criticize his comments which, so far, you have not done. You just quickly claimed, in passing, that you disagree and criticize what he said.
