I ran across that magazine recently and every post is transphobic af. Does that fit within kbin.social's code of conduct?

who gains from making up a new definition of fascism? why do you want people to be ignorant?

know thy enemy.

I'm not nitpicking here, I'm not being pedantic, your article didn't even vaguely touch on what fascism is. Maybe the underlying article did, but I'm having trouble imagining what the point is.

Does it piss you off you spend all this effort flailing about defending fascists and I still tell you (correctly) you're wrong and spend a fraction of the effort?

where the fuck do you see me defednding fascists?

does it piss you off that you don't have any response to anything I've actually said? does it piss you off to discover that this publication you like just published a point it didn't understand at all? does it piss you off to see a person argue that we should attack terfs for being terfs and fascists for being fascists and not just assume that all bad people are the same kind of bad person?

is that why you're afraid to read any of my comments?

Having no time for a jackass in a month old thread dredging up his lack of reading comprehension and pathological need to defend fascists from true accusations of being fascists is very much different than being afraid.

You are correct that I am not reading your replies at this point, nor is anyone else.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

stop saying that I'm defending fascists, asshole.

you didn't read any of my replies, and you kept accusing me of shit I'm not doing, because you are, in fact, not interested in defending your bullshit. Blaming me for that is sad.

also... I just found this thread today, how did that happen?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'll stop saying it when you stop doing it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why are you advocating for the KKK?

show me a place where I implied that Fascists might not be complete pieces of shit. Show me one place.

You admitted to not reading my comments, you're nothing but a troll. This is serious. Go fuck yourself.

You sure are upset about this group of fascists being fascists.

Why are you so cut up about arguing in a thread no one is reading?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I'm upset that you're promoting the Westboro Baptist Church!

I'm upset that decent people are being tricked into a stupid opinion about bad people. Just because fascists are evil and terfs are evil doesn't mean we should be making up confused bullshit about them, we should make coherent arguments and insult them for what they actually are. Making fun of terfs for being fascists is not effective because intelligent people will see that they're not fascists, and then not understand the actual issues with terfs. This is doubly problematic if your argument that terfs are fascists is as superficial and weak as the Them article you posted. You'll alienate people that absolutely want to be on our side.

Are you still typing?

Still caught up on a group of fascists needing you to tell people they aren't fascists, huh?

How's that working out for you?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'll be here for as long as you keep defending Tucker Carlson.

I'm not doing this for the fascists. The fascists love it when people get confused about who they are.

I'm doing this for your benefit, and for the benefit of any other decent people reading. Decent people don't like being lied to, decent people don't benefit when you tell them that cake is a type of potato, decent people don't suddenly get smarter when you tell them that Rush Limbaugh is a Scientologist. Labels have meanings and degrading those meanings is not a progressive act.

That's how you spend your cis-ass time? Defending terfs from descriptions of fascism when they're fascist?

That would seem like a bad things to do for a group who doesn't need defending.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I spend my cis-ass time helping progressives avoid ignorant people like you who are helping terfs and fascists recruit. I spend my cis-ass time attacking terfs and fascists.

the worst thing you can do to a terf is tell the truth. The worst thing you can do to a fascist is tell the truth. They have no defense against the truth. Their ideas are genuinely that bad.

But when you lie, they party in the streets—that's their whole recruitment model. They say "look, libtards call us fascists just because we don't believe (insert some strawman version of the lies terfs tell)," and they laugh about how many "moderate" votes you gained them in their swing states.

I hope my fellow progressives don't think your ignorance is the norm among progressives.

You sure are confident telling marginalized groups you aren't a part of how they should refer to their oppressors.

You are very smart.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why are you using the N word?

I'm not talking to a group, I'm talking to a dumbass.

As a Jew, I feel fairly entitled to talk about fascism, and fairly entitled to be upset when people say insert group of assholes are Fascists without any understanding whatsoever of any definition of Fascism beyond "government." I do, in fact, have a stake in how you lie about my oppressors.

But it's also perfectly reasonable for me to be upset when you lie about your oppressors and try to trick trans people and allies like me into believing your lies. Why are you so strongly opposed to the truth?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You haven't even addressed the Bureau Of Fasism Forensics Analysis report? Until you do that no one has anything to say to you.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Keep trolling trans allies and drawing false equivalencies, that'll stop the terfs.

Why did you shoot JFK?

why are you using cis as a slur? that's so weird

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am using it as a descriptor of an out group member sticking his nose in a oppressed in group's business. It is apt.

You're asking me to provide motivation for others' actions—calling me things—which I cannot do.
