And remember kids: who are the fascists?
Whoever we say it is!
Nah, fascists are fascists. You can't just water it down with idiotic nonsense. You sort of sound like a fascist, to be honest.
Useful idiots to be disposed of later.
Wow. No human beings should be "disposed of". I don't know if you meant me or the person I was responding to but you are a gigantic piece of shit either way.
My apologies, I assumed it made sense in the context, but I guess not.
I was basically trying to answer your question. You called the guy a fascist, and I was just saying that more likely, people like that aren't actually fascists, just useful idiots for the fascists that will end up being disposed of once they're no longer useful.
Because fascists aren't human beings.
I'm a piece of shit, apparently. What are you for insulting someone over a misunderstanding and not even bothering to acknowledge it?
Your account is two hours old. I don’t trust you at all.
You don't have to trust me, but you can trust my words, surely? I recycle accounts every couple weeks.
Please, DM me your last account, as this is feeling ban evasion. If it isn't I apologize, but your writing style seems familiar.
I can’t think of any prosocial reason to recycle accounts every two weeks?
I kind of sound like a fascist eh?
Did you mean to prove my point?
Nah, you already did that yourself.
Yeah so basically the word “fascist” here is being used as an opening to allow violence. What Arcade is doing is threatening me with violence, by showing me that he can get others to agree that I’m a fascist.
It does actually prove my point quite nicely, because Arcade‘s reasoning for why I’m a fascist is … drumroll please … he doesn’t like me and wants me to shut up.
His next comment will double down on this “you’re scum” thing. It’s contempt coding. Demonstrate contempt for me, applying the frame of “gross thing, to be removed”.
This whole thread is bait for my comment of course. The baiting goes like this: Make an open-faced declaration of war against a category vaguely defined as “people we’d like to hurt but need a label for in order to justify it”. Then, when someone objects, on the grounds that “hey don’t you guys tend to just use that label as a dog whistle to mean people opposing you?”, you can threaten them with the label itself.
“Remember buddy, this is a room where we’re smashing fascists. We wouldn’t want to put your name on that list now would we?”
This whole sequence of moves is being played out again and again. Always the same message: get in our way, speak up in opposition or question, and we turn the violence on you.
Tactic as old as time. Arcade is playing an ancient role here.
Parent was pointing to what you wrote because Nazis literally say "everyone one I don't like is a Nazi" when people call them such. Seems like you're trying to disarm people who are crying wolf. That doesn't make you a wolf, just a tool.
Yes. Given I am not a wolf, I am opposed to being called a wolf.
Glad you can comprehend that. Not sure why you think it makes me a tool.
reasoning for why I’m a fascist is … drumroll please … he doesn’t like me and wants me to shut up
i don't like you and i want you to shut up, so i don't see what the problem is.
remember folks, the winner is whoever wins. put your enemies in the fascist bashing room before they put you in it.
Why don't you list a few people who you think this comic refers to who are not, in fact, fascists?
They're assholes who want to serve a dictator
Lol triggered? Do you feel called out or targeted?
Good.
