Completely brain-melted terf

i honestly don't know other activist transphobes than the completely brain-melted kind. The main difference is if they're ex-feminist-turned-fascist, clericofascist, or techbro fascist, but all of them are rotten, vile, totally unhinged monomaniacs.

I've seen Umberto Eco's checklist simultaneously be rejected and accepted by the left. Some will say that it's non-Marxist and prefer not to use it, but if anybody here says "the enemy is both strong and weak," nobody (that I've seen) rejects that rhetoric device.

Ur-fascism should be understood and used as what it is, an essay on the semiotics of fascism. It works as a critique of ideology, and it works very well in that regard. What it does not achieve at all, because that lies outside of the scope of that essay, is explaining the historic and material roots of fascism, which is where the usual Marxist explanations come into play, such as the essay you're quoting, or the definition by Dimitroff that expanded upon Stalin's theory of social fascism, Trotzkis counterpoints to that (that put more emphasis on the role of the petit bourgeoisie), the (debatable and in my opinion subcomplex) "agent theory" used in the DDR or later post-colonial variations like the concept of Foucault's Boomerang or Fanon's writings. When used correctly, Eco isn't contradictory to these, but complementary.

Usually better opinions on current events than people my age

I'd even say that young people today have better opinions on current events than people my age had when they were their age. Most late Gen Xers were always awful about politics, just pure end of history garbage. We're the generation that grew up with AES being replaced by Pizza Hut and shock therapy, and the kids these days grow up with the planet being set on fire by capitalism, so this shouldn't surprise anybody.

• robust: gutting all social safety systems and public education

• sustainable: making sure there's a solid trickle-up of wealth that used to belong to the public

• inclusive: in one way or the other, this will fuck over anybody who isn't at least a US$ millionaire

the antithesis to "what 0 theory does to a mfer"

i think i'd projectile vomit at the mere sight

Yeah, it absolutely is absurd, but a ton of libs out there don't even clear that bar and will fold to transphobes as soon as they face backlash like that.

"lol" said the scorpion, "lmao"

I've been wondering if the stuff will go in the plastics or the residual waste bin ever since they found microplastics in balls.

lmao, your egg's about to get cracked, James

I would've thought the actual reason the Tories have made themselves hated enough to lose against Keir fucking Starmer of all people is that they're the exact same kind of floundering, rabbitholed bellend as the person who's written that article, but i guess when you're an anglofascist nosferatu writing for the Economist, being honest with yourself isn't a skill you usually possess.

it's been on 4chan about as long as pepe, ofc it's super fucking racist

Freedom for all political prisoners, even the innocent ones!

nonbinary antifa cat & possum marxists

i don't know who made this, but i want to hug them already

This is bait, Germans are annoyingly obsessed with baked goods (or i guess boiled in that case) and ofc you can get bagles here.

this is wild lmao

Every comment on chapo has to include a reference to a podcast or it gets deleted.

It gets better: The nazis in question (there are several other charges against antifascists from all over Europe) got owned during the March of Honor, a yearly nazi rally in Budapest where these losers celebrate a failed attempt to breach the siege of the city by the Red Army. Imagine getting decked while commemorating a historic nazi L.

It was a bank robbery with a hostage situation where the pigs didn't want to compromise on anything with the robbers and were directly endangering the lives of the hostages.

I would have been hatecrimed all the time for being trans if i already would have come out in the 2000s, i honestly don't think i would have survived being trans in public 20 years ago. Not to mention that i would probably have been gatekept permanently from transitioning for being lesbian, or that it was impossible in my country back then to get a name change without either bottom surgery or forced sterilization (using cryoconservated sperm to sire a child also meant that your name change was retroactively voided and you were declared a man again back in those days. Oh, and we had forced divorces for married trans people, too). In the US, trans panic defenses were still a thing in these days. You could get away with murdering us when you stated that finding out about our transness after sex freaked you out. But yeah i guess time is being selective for targets and my opression just started happening 5 years ago and nobody bothered us before then. jfc.
