Oh you big snowflake, you might not originate from the specific region of Bavaria, but you are a eugenicist, transphobe, technofascist, great replacement theory subscriber, who thinks that Western civilization is in danger because of brown trans people, and use your corporatist power to back an extreme neoliberal government of racists and Christian nationalists, who want to replace the rule of law with institutionalized white supremacy. “Nazi” does not even begin to describe the kind of heinous dumb fuck you are, but fear not: you will have lots of opportunities to catch up on history classes in the re-education camp pal.

Criticizes gatekeeping of science by showcasing it shares the premise of the very laws that were used in 1934 to bar Jewish people from citizenship in Germany. The table used for the adaptation is from Wikipedia, a summary and breakdown of an actual 1930’s poster explaining the new rules to Germans.

People playing fast and loose with the terms “discrimination” and “racism” really grind my gears. We are talking about centuries of fucking crimes against humanity, and some sad little fuckers have the nerve to conflate reparations with the very crimes that were committed.

We aren’t special.

You should dial this statement way up. The population of Lemmy is definitely not a representative demographic. Nor is Reddit’s.

This is the Ratchet effect in action. Democrats did not heed the warnings about extremist right-wing propaganda spreading like wildfire. They now assume the voter basis is inherently fascist, and race to appease them.

Democrats are equally to blame for things, like the modern racist slave trade that is the “corrections” system. This puts them with the camp of critical-race-theory enemies. Many of them are transphobic as-fuck, which also puts them (partly) in the anti-gender camp.

I did not cite genocide and war-crimes in the above paragraph, because so many of you have made clear you are fine with it.

Centrists have made it clear, time and again, that they value middle-of-the-road fallacy above human lives, and they are willing to put those lives on the line to reifytheir trolley problem fetish. The centrist is someone who will literally say to Hitler “I will defend to the death your right to express your hate” and at the same time say to the trans woman “I will have to reduce your freedom of expression, because it is unpopular with my voter base, and we risk devolving into fascism”.

This is how we got here. These mfers come every 4 years begging for leftist and anarchist votes, because the alternative is fascism. But they were themselves fascist the whole time, only with a broader social support. Now they lose that broader social support because 10 years of relentless, ludicrously funded propaganda have shifted the discussion 100 years back, they now bend over backwards to earn that social support again. This in unscrupulous.

In turn, it lends legitimacy to neofascism and shifts the institutional landscape even further. We should not concede one inch to anyone trying to water down human rights for political gain. Human rights are to be taken as a whole, especially at the times that the most illiterate and unnuanced fragile white masculinity reclaims racism, homophobia, transphobia and ableism with renewed confidence, this is not the time to let them score popularity points.

In fact, we need to escalate. The more we trigger the fascist voter base the better. Destroy the common sense, of the equal-opportunity capitalism apologist social democrat.

And there is Shinigami Eyes Fireforx extension for this reason exactly.

Consent of the oppressed

Ecofascists. That is the term.

At this point the ones preaching against trans liberation are the same ones that will take away your union protections. This is the long and short of it.

The premise of this meme is overly simplistic. Effectively equating a social media platform with a website hosting specific beliefs.

Here are, from the top of my head, some ways Big Social is different, regardless of country.

• Hosting a platform with millions or billions of users.
• Exploiting algorithms that mine sensitive data to an invasive degree.
• Control the flow of information, to a very granular degree of precision.
• Experimentally collecting behavioral data in response to said control of information.
• Modeling user’s life expectancy, sexual orientation, political beliefs, consumer patterns, terminal illnesses.
• Selling said data and model outputs to private insurance companies as well as police states.
• Addicting users to withdraw from real life, and get hooked to their screen where they can happily serve the company for data mining.

I hardly think that any of the above should be gauged by the standards of individual rights to free speech. Even corporate entities viewed as individuals with a right to free speech.

This is something else entirely, and whoever owns it, out of whichever country must have their ass regulated off.

Even harder than the EU did.

Operations of this type and size should be eventually dismantled. They are inherently antisocial, corporatist, and totalitarian in their conception and daily function.

Sometime ago I started a discussion about the “Role of Attrition” in the effort to dismantle Big Social enterprises Here it is

It is designed to make a mockery of the establishments. Like going into court and finding out your judge is literally bozo the clown.

So his team farts out another pick. Someone who is an unqualified shitstain. Color me surprised!

This response should be the preamble of the Lemmurist Manifesto.

Trump administration hasn’t even started yet, and we already have public space segregation based on a protected characteristic.

I think I rarely see the so-called disgust reflex in full throttle, as I see it in terfs attacking trans women. They are literally acting like a five-inch cockroach is climbing up their ankle, and they can’t help it. There is no amount of TERFism propaganda that can do that, they just must be the most homophobic people in existence, on par with people who flat out murder trans women. No doubt about it, they dehumanize trans women and would mass murder them with not a shed of remorse. Fuck TERFs, really.

Male janitors walk all the time into women bathrooms. No one gives a shit.

What an absolute piece of shit.

Like every word she speaks is TERF propaganda, which she recognizes: She Twitted “Full TERF”.

She says “He is a biological man. End of. Period.”

She makes a point that she is not willing to discuss or find common ground by any criteria (not even the safety and dignity of trans women themselves).

This is a savage and barbaric, blatant display of bigotry and hatred, a disgusting outlook for any human, and totally unworthy of respect in decent society.

Thoughts out to Sarah Mac Bride that has to face this and still keeps her cool.

To me banning transgender use of public spaces and bathrooms should be listed as a hate crime and be heavily fined.

I hope her motion is rejected, she should be ashamed of her ridiculous self.

Fallacy means sth in the effect of “cognitive illusion” as in “logical fallacy”, not a rhetorical strategy. The difference is the intent of the speaker. A rhetorical strategy can be deceptive, or tactically motivated, a logical fallacy is more like a form of apparent naivete and common paradoxes. When there is intent to deceive and/or win at all costs, there is “prevarication” or “sophistry” instead of “fallacy”.
