How Fascist does Fox or right-wing Youtube have to get before you go "holy shit, that's Fascist! "? Tucker Carlson talking about replacement theory (when the Charlottesville fuckers were saying "the Jews will not replace us!!") hasn't done it. Sargon Of Akkad laughing at Heather Heyer dying hasn't done done it. Nick Fuentes coming right out and saying Democracy needs to be destroyed so naked authoritarian rule can force liberals into compliance with "our values" hasn't done it. Is it because liberals keep noticing these fuckers, and you can't bring yourself to agree with us? ...cuz....that's retarded. If a Xenomorph were walking up the street chowing on people's faces, and you said "look out!! Xenomorph!" my answer wouldn't be "fucking conservatives see Xenomorphs everywhere! It must be a guy in a suit....that's really killing people...". Anyway, come on, what do you have to see? The armbands? The boots? What? How bad do they have to get? OR!! As I suspect, if/when they do get bad enough, do you just whip your own masks off, and go "haha! We were Fashy too!". Cuz....it's not gonna be a surprise. Hate to ruin that for ya.
jsut googled "list of tucker carlson being racist" everyone from PBS to Rolling Stone seems capable of seeing it, generally leading into the anti democratic ideology he soft peddles with the white supremacy.
The FFs and UAs of the world see themselves as victims, or at least targets, and the lefties and the communists and the SJWs and the pink hairs are the villains, the evil empire, the soulless horde coming to destroy them and take away everything they have. They might not love everything about the shameless fascists or the virulent racists or the toxic misogynists, but they're happy to overlook those concerns since their common enemy (a cute NYC barista with a septum piercing and they/them pronouns earning minimum wage) is so scary and dangerous that nothing else matters right now.
at work there's a couple who from what I can tell are fairly new to being unhoused and living rough. She's still clinging on to that sense of "I work and want to work and am better than those who can't/don't"despite their situation, and is particularly quick to be affronted if her actions are corrected (goes into Karen mode of special pleadings, etc. if reminded of the centre's masking policy) or offended by others' existing. THe latter happened this morning with another client who-let's just say he's short a few pages. He hadn't been doing anything other than watching the TV, but of course she decided he was staring at her... The term "cry-bully" comes to mind. Somehow they're only victimized by those they perceive themselves as better than.
I mean, recently Tucker closed a segment on the horrific dangers of drag queens run amuck and seriously advised his viewers in closing "you need to arm yourselves" This week he hosted a woman who said, in so many words, "they bring this shit on themselves and we'll have to keep killing them until they behave" about the Club Q shooting. He's really been way beyond dog whistles for some years now.
Yeah, but a girl with colored hair I ran into at Wendy's wasn't as humble as a Handmaiden, so both sides.
Speaking of humility, if you point out someone doesn't have empathy, you're bragging that you have empathy. Just like pointing out that Dahmer chowed on people is a brag that you don't. Fucking braggy non-cannibals. So unbecoming.
It's kind of a basic requirement of my job. Not even a specialization. Like the ability to lift 30-50lbs then push a button, any idiot should be capable of it. If you're incapable of that minimum, you might qualify for disability.
Y'know, I don't think the right even has a visceral "holy shit"! " reaction to Fascism. I don't know that they ever had it. Y'know why? Just my theorizing, mind you. No holocaust survivors in their family. Or in their school chum's families. Two guesses as to why. Oh, they have "holy shit! " for Communism. Well, had it. Now Putin is cool now, because reasons.
There's a whole thread that started with "people were shot to death this month because conservatives turned drag queens into the new satanic panic" and morphed into "UA feels victimized by drag queens because of how school assemblies have worked since forever." Then FF turned up so say "it's like a religion to them" in relation to drag queens, because as a libertarian he reserves the right to only discuss what he considers to be the most important issues of the day.
And you're still not specifying who does what. Are you Bob? Is Bob the giver? Is he the receiver? Is he just watching, his breath a-quiver?
The single stupidest right-wing chud claim on the internet is that drag, or being trans, is somehow like a religious cult. A. Saying "leave people alone who are doing you no harm" might indeed sound like what a good religion ought to say, but otherwise it shares literally nothing of the properties generally associated with organized religion B. If - IF we postulated the ludicrous claim, then by their own rhetoric about "religious liberty" they are obliged to piss off and let "the church of drag" exercise it's religious liberty. And they can't pass laws banning trans kids from being accepted in schools as their professed gender because that would be oppressing their religious liberty.
The idea that there is some sort of newness to any of this hate against trans people, or any other group, by the right is short attention span. This fascism has always been here. It is the so called order we must maintain because life was good for the WASP in america and males in the world. Tradition makes it better for lesser men because they get to be the valued class, especially if they are the majority of the culture of their geographical location. Tradition soothes women who have put up with beatings and condescension all their lives. It is amazing how mothers undermine their daughters because their daughters do not want to be useless arm candy and eventually lose their identity to be relegated to their child's mother in the eyes of others. When you have wasted your life sucking shit you tend to get mad at others for expecting more. This is the meaning of existence for republican women, and the motto for Biden Bro women. Trans and gay people undermine these things. Immigrants to culture steal the birthright of the majority. FF and UA are the weakest of the weak. They need fascism in america to force their birthright on the stronger. They are not alone. Tradition has always been a crutch for the weak.
That was my first thought as well, but then I figured since FF and UA do their best to make every thread about themselves anyway, this is just cutting out the middleman.
You are so lame doing things for the attention of others. When you amuse yourself you always have fun. This is the zen of true trolling. Others will always fail to appreciate your true genius, but the voices in your head will always be your best audience. That is what has worked for me for all these years. You think I could have lasted this long kicking other people for the shit in the audience?
I don't see him whining about shit that doesn't concern him or harm those participating, so we can at least presume he has more than some folks? ALso, we've had Diacanu "call outs" back when this place was harder right. THey were as classy as one would presume them to be :/
A pink hair killed my family. ....in a dream. ..okay, a daydream. ...okay, in a feeling without pictures. Okay, I watched Critical Drinker, and it felt like someone died. Okay, it felt like someone should have died. Okay, my media bubble has shrunken to Critical Drinker, and I want to die. So...emotionally, same thing as pink hairs killing my family. Yep. Same thing.
I'm not sure I listen to anyone that qualifies as a "right wing YouTuber. " Unless this is another "with us or against us" theme where it must be "right wing" if it isn't verbatim from the left wing script. In which case, fuck off.
I never mean paranoia scenario. If I had an evil plot, I'd just openly punch you in the face with it.
I'm not a perfect human being, but I know Ben "wet pussies are a disease" Shapiro isn't an intellectual.
