I used 'Nazi' in reference to the series of tweets about a polite Nazi. (Forgive the Reddit link) https://www.reddit.com/r/TalesFromYourServer/comments/hsiisw...

Take it to mean a literal straight out of 1942 National Socialist if you like, it doesn't change what I was trying to convey.

If you want a historical comparison to BLM, how about the suffragettes. I can guarantee that there were grifters looking to make money off the movement, which would be a subset of it, but I think it's quite fair to say the suffragettes were objectively not grifters.

I would also say that Christianity is objectively not a grift, despite the fact that there are many grifters within the faith. If the core ideas of a movement are spread by people that truly believe in them, and are not controlled by any individual, then how exactly could it qualify as a grift?

Legitimately, I don't understand how a decentralised set of ideas could be a grift. Do you have any examples?

"Diversity only within their own strictly defined boundaries" is exactly right, but you don't seem to understand that those boundaries are what let's diversity thrive. Without rules against bigotry, LGBTQ+ people are far less able to express themselves due to the increased scrutiny from people that refuse to accept them.

When there are people in a community that denegrate others for being themselves it creates a toxic environment where being different makes you a target, so everyone either falls in line or leaves.
