All they ever do is “No, u…!”
Haven’t had an original thought since 1936.
This is one of my favorite parts of sitting out playing music by my “resist fascism” sign.
Probably hot take, but from the point of view of a conservative the “fascist” OOP just mentioned is a strawman and a very unpleasant one to be associated with at that, so no wonder they would attack the very idea of association after everyone starts spreading it.
You’re right natzi rolls off the tongue better
Even if that was the case, the conservatives’ counter argument never addresses why the association with facism, white supremacy, Nazism would supposedly be false. It’s always a knee-jerk “actually you guys are bad.” Not doing much to counter the association.
You probably wouldn’t feel so triggered if you weren’t aware, deep down on some subliminal level, that you’re acting like a fascist.
Is it really a strawman when a number of people within a party can be equated to fascists without that being an exaggeration?
Strawman arguments are misrepresentations of a position or an insult towards specific people or groups for being devoid of substance.
Saying “down with fascism” is nowhere close to being a strawman. No “man” is even being spoken of, nor is anything being misrepresented.
If you don’t want to be associated with fascism, MAYBE DON’T ACT LIKE A FUCKING NAZI
If you looked inside their mind, that’s probably what you’d see. They’re conditioned to be in this perpetual state of persecution. It’s sad, really, they don’t even get that there’s fascism happening so they think any mentions of it are insults.
But that doesn’t excuse anything, they should know better. They’re bad people helping a bad cause and there’s nothing wrong with being mean to them.
Nice concern trolling
Hell yeah, Scanlan Shorthalt et al!
Yeah this happened once during the 2020 July protests in Serbia. As we walked, we passed a WW2 memorial and the guy leading the group took a moment to stop, comment on it and chant “death to fascism” a few times. Then out of the blue two guys started yelling “death to communism”.
To be fair, “death to fascism, freedom to the people” is a communist slogan known by everyone from ex-Yugoslavia, but getting triggered by someone disavowing fascism right next to a statue that shows how fascists murdered civilians in raids in your own city is… worrying.
Not by accident, Serbia is like the MAGA lovin’ south of Europe, complete with the ignorant meat-heads gargling Putin’s balls.
Weird how every anticommunism turns out to be fascism putting on a performance for libs.
Maybe we should stop listening, and start doing.
For some reason there seems to be this idea that everything must either be fascist or communist or somewhere between. Like they don’t believe in the existence of other political philosophies.
They’re obsessed with the political spectrum being one-dimensional, it isn’t.
Ah yes, the two genders
The next chant should be “death to fascism, death to capitalism”
Fascism is a feature of capitalism, not a bug. We need to go back to the correct timeline. Socialism was the improvable system. Capitalism is social darwinism (read: a lie)
“Politically motivated assassinations”? Should we bring up the comparative list of politically-motivated extremist incidents in the US and see which side is enacting most of the violence?
“politically motivated assassinations?” like the two Democratic politicians who were just murdered yesterday in Minnesota?
No no, that’s like school shootings in the USA, part of their apolitical culture!
I like how it’s “politically motivated assassinations” while graffiti on a Tesla is terrorism.
Including the ones in Minnesota today?
The Minnesota ones are particularly interesting. The Democrats had a one-seat advantage in both chambers of the Minnesota legislature. The assassin specifically targeted one Democratic member of each chamber. The Minnesota House is now tied, and the Senate will be tied until Hoffman is able to work or (or Minnesota allows it, I’m not sure) is about to designate someone to vote for him.
well the FBI said there’s not enough evidence…

“I cast that wish at level 9” I had to check the context to make sure that was a DnD thing and not some bizarre sovcit trend.
It’s also already a ninth level spell, so saying he’ll cast it at level nine is meaningless and a failed attempt to establish nerd cred.
these are so cringe lol. It sounds like it is coming from someone who once read something on the internet and pretend like he has been part of this since colege
It’s referring to a scene involving Sam Riegel in the first Critical Role campaign. He’s basically establishing he’s a ‘fan’, though also being a Nazi is weird af.
Sam’s a real one. The whole group are, but of them all, Sam’s the one I’d least want to go toe to toe with in an argument.
Dude’s sharp as fuck.
Matt would be too nice to tear you to shreds in an argument. Many of the others probably just wouldn’t engage. Sam enjoys conflict and uncomfortable situations.
That’s some kind of weird superpower in my eyes.
Ever say “Fuck Nazis” and some fuck face goes “Of course you would make fun of conservatives you lib!”.
Wonderful feeling.
In my experience they never get it. It is fun to make fun of them. Once they reveal themselves, they become very predictable and even when called out as to how they will respond, they do it anyway like an npc.
