The pure lack of critical thinking of people like him on the Right is just embarrassing, and scary as hell.

They’re just as bad as people on the right. “Vote blue no matter who” is their philosophy, not vote for the best candidate.

It's not about who uses the term, it's about who uses it correctly. Fascism has clear tenets and a pattern they use to rise to power. They attack media, intellectuals, and schools, erode trust in government and democratic elections, all mixed up in nationalist rhetoric like "make [nation-state] great again" and identify "other" groups to blame for that nations problems, usually queer communities and minority ethnic groups.

Do you see the pattern yet?

> Labeling someone a nazi when they don't self-identify as a nazi is simply political idiocracy.

....what? No. Is the Democratic People's Republic of Korea democratic? How people "self-identify" in politics is irrelevant, what matters is what they DO.

They certainly don't by any means. But it seems the Right wants to actively move us backwards

I love that this is the best Republican response. As if being a dick to trans people is the virtuous move.

There have been gay and trans brown black and white people for as long as people have been loosely defined as people.

Your hate speech just makes you look dumb and lazy to everyone. I don't expect self reflection but my God, this isn't the strongest "argument" from the anti 'basic human fucking rights" crowd I've heard to date lol

rudedudelivingcrude t1_iu46xmi wrote

Yes gay people have been around for centuries, yes there have been people who believed they were born with the wrong body parts. But the percentile of people in today's age is within the 1%. Right now, it is a social contagion. The left and progressives, without conversation, will insult, defame without any proof. You are lazy and ignorant. Combat with speech, not insults, child.

MrFittsworth t1_iu47cnf wrote

Social contagion lol

Take a fucking sociology class. This is the same rhetoric that came around when homosexuality wasn't as stigmatized. 'they're everywhere! The rates are exploding!' no. They were always here, they just aren't forced to hide anymore. Trans and non binary people have always been here, they just aren't being shamed out of existence anymore.

"prohibition doesn't work, why should we ban (x) people will just get them illegally". It is the same argument, except these are people. You absolute trash bag.

You're a bigot. There is no other words to use. I feel so bad for you.

Uh ya dumby, do some research on crimes stats, and amount of people who commit them who are legal owners vs. Those who are illegal owners. The answers to your dumb comment are in the research.

Fast-Connection9063 t1_iu5pio7 wrote

What dumb comment? I just compared this person's comment to a statement I thought of. I didn't even say my political opinion. Frankly both Republicans and Democrats have downsides so I don't generally talk about politics.

But now that we are at it, Maine actually has very few violent crimes. That may be partially due to the fact that we don't have many gun free zones so criminals know they'll get a hole in them if they do indeed commit a crime. And it may be partially due to the fact that we have more trees than people lol.

You and every upvoter I feel bad for. This progressive experimental eutopia you've been promised does not end well for man kind and society, so careful what you wish for...

Are you a time traveler now? You know how this all goes? You've seen anything REMOTELY comparable to this in history? Elaborate, in detail, please.

How wise of you, to predict that hate and vitriol is the secret to utopia. Not checks notes freedom of self and being regardless of the person you choose to love or identify as.

Sure thing champ, what a stupid way to exist lol

You've offered no reasonable discourse, you've spewed hate and partisan parrot talking points, claimed to know the future, and only displayed how much of a bigot you are.

Your upbrininging failed you. Be better.

I've offered no reasonable discourse? Here's a tip, when someone disputes your take don't fire back with insults. That's not called discourse. That's called being a dick because I have nothing else to add, reddit or not, that's a lame response to anyone offering up discourse.

They are at least making an effort to come up with answers to problems, not just pretending nothing can or should be done.
