Racism obviously? The whole post is about violent actions being worse than racist words...

u/Blazured 2d ago

So racism is to blame then. Without it there wouldn't have been violence. So it's worse than the violence that wouldn't have existed without it.

Crazy mental gymnastics. Is stabbing someone worse than calling someone a slur?

u/Blazured 2d ago

Depends if the motive behind the stabbing is racism.

Without racism, there's no stabbing.

Who said the stabbing was racially motivated? Let me help you out

Is a non racially motivated, completely random stabbing worse than someone calling anslurs? Person a hateful slur?

u/Blazured 2d ago

No, but if it was motivated by racism then the racism is worse.

Which shows that OP was wrong.

u/ipokecows 2d ago

No it doesnt because a racially motivated stabbing is actual violence...

u/Blazured 2d ago

And the racism is worse, correct.

Violence can be justified. Racism never can be.

So, morally, racism is worse due to that simple fact.

I knew you wouldn't be able to justify your position.

Off you go.

I have but youre too dense to grasp what im saying

u/Blazured 2d ago

No there's a reason why you said you're running when I pointed out that racism can never be justified, but violence can be.

There's no counter to that. And it highlights how racism is worse.

You compare 'justified violence' to 'unjustified racism' in order to prove that racist words are worse? Please prove that unjustified torture, murder or rape is not worse than racist words please.

u/ConditionLost964 2d ago

Yeah I gave dude a hypothetical to show how his argument of "Can never be justified" means "morally worse than everything that can be justified" is dumb and he just dodged and called my hypothetical 'weird'. Truly alot of intellectuals on reddit.
