Then we're done here I have zero interest in your red herring. Have a good day.

Yeah I don't care.

Is irrelevant to the point I am making about ACTUAL neo nazis dude. You're trying to talk about "people on the internet".
Stop trying to change the subject. We're not talking about "people on the internet don't label nazis right". This is about whether certain actions can be declared as "evil" and what that means.

Red herring.
But I'm glad you agree with me:
> In that minority case, fine
So since you have nothing to add to this discussion, I think we're done here.

Well, I was talking about a neo nazi that literally wants to murder someone.
That's a way different idea than "u killed me in fortnite u nazi".
It literally isn't what I'm talking about. I am not talking about random kids on fortnite labeling people as nazis. I'm talking about ACTUAL, SELF-DECLARED neo nazis who want to murder people, like these ones: https://www.npr.org/2018/03/06/590292705/5-killings-3-states-and-1-common-neo-nazi-link
Im talking about these kinds of people and as a POC I am perfectly right to fear these people. Are you trying to tell me I shouldn't fear a neo nazi like the ones here in this article and call these people "evil"?

"People on the internet" is an irrelevant red herring and completely unrelated to my point.

> They are also pernicious because they encourage us to think of ourselves as good and write off our opposition as evil, prompting us to act in a way that is uncharitable and uncaring.
I mean, if someone is a murderous nazi and you're a POC I think it's perfectly OK to write off the nazi as "evil" because he wants to commit horrific actions, like murder against you. That's how we protect ourselves from an evolutionary perspective. We avoid the things and people who hate us and want to hurt us. A cheetah is probably considered evil to a gazelle after all, even if the cheetah doesn't see a problem ending the gazelles life (because he's a cheetah and that's what they do). Similarly, a nazi doesn't see a problem murdering a black person, because that's what nazis do. I think labeling that nazi as "evil" is literally protecting the POCs life and the nazi isn't harmed by the POC thinking they're "evil".
Do you disagree?

If you think this is real you didn't notice the badly drawn demon child in the background.

You're very talented and I hope you continue to make art! I am especially fond of "corrupted" Bible stories like what you present here, so if you were waiting for a sign to make more like this piece this is your sign lol. I'm going to bookmark your site and check on it now and again.

As someone who has read the Bible several times and also enjoys cosmic horror, this is a very good story. It combines the best ideas of both, while being awesomely terrifying to look at. Well done.

A little tip: this is what a red herring is. A discussion is about one thing and you "inject" the red herring into the pile of fish to distract from the other fish. That's why it's red.
