    I’m upset that you’re promoting the Westboro Baptist Church!

    I’m upset that decent people are being tricked into a stupid opinion about bad people. Just because fascists are evil and terfs are evil doesn’t mean we should be making up confused bullshit about them, we should make coherent arguments and insult them for what they actually are. Making fun of terfs for being fascists is not effective because intelligent people will see that they’re not fascists, and then not understand the actual issues with terfs. This is doubly problematic if your argument that terfs are fascists is as superficial and weak as the Them article you posted. You’ll alienate people that absolutely want to be on our side.

    Why are you so cut up about arguing in a thread you’re not reading?

      Are you still typing?

      Still caught up on a group of fascists needing you to tell people they aren’t fascists, huh?

      How’s that working out for you?

        I’ll be here for as long as you keep defending Tucker Carlson.

        I’m not doing this for the fascists. The fascists love it when people get confused about who they are.

        I’m doing this for your benefit, and for the benefit of any other decent people reading. Decent people don’t like being lied to, decent people don’t benefit when you tell them that cake is a type of potato, decent people don’t suddenly get smarter when you tell them that Rush Limbaugh is a Scientologist. Labels have meanings and degrading those meanings is not a progressive act.

          That’s how you spend your cis-ass time? Defending terfs from descriptions of fascism when they’re fascist?

          That would seem like a bad things to do for a group who doesn’t need defending.

            I spend my cis-ass time helping progressives avoid ignorant people like you who are helping terfs and fascists recruit. I spend my cis-ass time attacking terfs and fascists.

            the worst thing you can do to a terf is tell the truth. The worst thing you can do to a fascist is tell the truth. They have no defense against the truth. Their ideas are genuinely that bad.

            But when you lie, they party in the streets—that’s their whole recruitment model. They say “look, libtards call us fascists just because we don’t believe (insert some strawman version of the lies terfs tell),” and they laugh about how many “moderate” votes you gained them in their swing states.

            I hope my fellow progressives don’t think your ignorance is the norm among progressives.

              You sure are confident telling marginalized groups you aren’t a part of how they should refer to their oppressors.

              You are very smart.

                Why are you using the N word?

                I’m not talking to a group, I’m talking to a dumbass.

                As a Jew, I feel fairly entitled to talk about fascism, and fairly entitled to be upset when people say insert group of assholes are Fascists without any understanding whatsoever of any definition of Fascism beyond “government.” I do, in fact, have a stake in how you lie about my oppressors.

                But it’s also perfectly reasonable for me to be upset when you lie about your oppressors and try to trick trans people and allies like me into believing your lies. Why are you so strongly opposed to the truth?

                  You haven’t even addressed the Bureau Of Fasism Forensics Analysis report? Until you do that no one has anything to say to you.

                    Keep trolling trans allies and drawing false equivalencies, that’ll stop the terfs.

                    Why did you shoot JFK?
