Biden says 'order must prevail' during campus protests over the war in Gaza
President Joe Biden has defended the right to free speech but says “order must prevail” on college campuses where pro-Palestinian protests are happening.
You're viewing a single thread.
Fascist fuck is then confused why he can't scrape together enough votes to beat a felon.
This is a 'soft warning' about name-calling. Generally speaking, name-calling isn't nice. Please, be(e) nice when using Beehaw. Thank you.
Is 'fascist' name calling in this context, or 'felon'?
Do presidential candidates really need to be protected from such milquetoast criticism?
There is some irony is the name-calling warning coming in as a reply to the “white moderate/wanting order” comment.
Unsubstantiated name calling. There is no sufficient evidence to support the label you're attributing to the person. It is opinionated and name calling.
Joe Biden is literally funding the murder of thousands of children, while Donald Trump is currently being tried for several felonies.
Also, while protecting these fascists and felons, you seem to mistaken me for OP.
Name-calling is a form of argument in which insulting or demeaning labels are directed at an individual or group.
That's what we, at Beehaw, don't want. It is not nice.
They're not insulting or demeaning labels, they're facts. Donald Trump is a felon. Joe Biden is complicit in authoritarian war crimes and genocide, and is quashing public dissent with state force. You know, like a fascist.
What's disturbing, and definitely not nice, is having staff here defend these people from criticism. Slaughtering children isn't nice. Calling it out is.
These are public figures who directly engage in hurting others as a matter of course.
...staff here defend these people from criticism.
Show me where Beehaw staff have defended anyone from criticism.
The subject at hand is name-calling. It is not nice.
The subject that you keep reiterating is current events and politics.
Do you understand the difference?
To clarify as another Beehaw user, are "fascist" and "felon" in fact being objected to here, or only the use of "fuck" as a noun/name?
I easily understand the latter as name-calling, as it's purely an invective, but the former 2 don't make sense to me as being violations of Bee Nice.
That seems to be veering into the realm of toxic positivity, if we can't call a person doing fascistic things a fascist, or a person doing felonious things a felon.
Name-calling is a form of argument in which insulting or demeaning labels are directed at an individual or group.
Labeling Joe Biden as a 'fascist' is name-calling. Whether or not he is, truly, a fascist is not what is being addressed here.
Beehaw is a space that strives to be(e) nice apart from the thousands of Internet spaces that could care less.
I want to be clear that I am being completely sincere when I ask, does this mean that saying "Joe Biden is acting like a fascist autocrat", is ok, but applying it as a title, as in "Joe Biden the Fascist Autocrat" is not?
If so, I will hew to that distinction, but I want to be perfectly clear about the actual expectations; if the former is also an issue, I would like to know that now.
I understand that the Spirit of the Rules is meant to avoid generally drawing these kind of hard lines, because that allows bad-actors to attack community members and at-risk groups by toeing the line of rules, but Joe Biden is neither a community member nor part of an at-risk group, and being required to Bee Nice to Joe Biden as though he were (going off of a Spirit of the Rules interpretation), feels uncomfortably close to not being allowed to criticize the arguably single most powerful and advantaged person in the world (especially since he is currently being criticized for the harm he's doing to at-risk groups).
You could've made an argument that the "fuck" part of "fascist fuck" was name calling and uncalled for... But your doubling down on the "fascist" part isn't "be(e)-ing nice", it is using a bully pulpit to push your own views and opinions.
I'm going to be frank. Your response to this thread is a huge red flag for me, and it makes me much less comfortable being here.
I'm sorry you feel that way. I did not intend for anyone to be uncomfortable.
what about you do something useful instead of whatever this is
