I was referring to your obvious bigotry towards trans and queer people, but clearly there are all sorts of problems with christofascist views, thanks for highlighting that for me ;) lol at your mentions of "ideology" while simultaneously repeating old canned talking points from alt right propaganda.
No one owes you a platform. In fact, christofascists and those who break the treaty of tolerance very much deserve to be deplatformed. Your views aren't based on reality or evidence, and only serve to dehumanize.
And FYI, since you brought it up, abortion is a medical procedure that is between a patient and their doctor. A retired "Christian" Navy vet who supports Desantis is the absolute LAST person whose opinions should be respected on that subject.
Don't use the term, "alt right". They started calling themselves the "alt" right because they didn't like the word, "extreme". Call them what they are, right wing extremists, neo-fascists, and/or christofascists.
oh I hear you on that! that's why I never call them nazis either, there's far less semantic wiggle room in the term christofascist and it's a much better descriptor anyways for their chosen flavour of hate. I've never really given consideration to the "alt" descriptor before, food for thought and I appreciate it :)
Yes. It's very important not to leave yourself open to pedantic arguments. Nazis are a specific flavour of fascist but not all fascists are members of the Nazi party. It also opens you to their throwing Godwin's Law in your face as though it should stop you from calling them Nazis. If that happens it's important to be able to quote Mike Godwin himself:
Everybody has a right to their opinions, whether they be Marxist, Conservative or Born Again Christian. We should respect that, regardless if you agree with them or not. Generation Z and others have too many feelings, but not enough life experience. Most of the world is conservative in views, whether we like it or not
