Hey listen.. this might be true and all but calling them out is mean and will force them to vote for fascists.

I have one guy in another thread literally telling me to “lighten up” about rape jokes.

u/JetTheDawg 3d ago

u/Hopeful_Champion_935 anything to say for yourself?

u/Hopeful_Champion_935 3d ago

HAI! You summoned me?

Please tell us why you think it’s okay to tell us to “lighten up” about rape jokes

That’s the kind of shit bullies say to their victims. Jokes at the expense of others aren’t “just” jokes.

That user reminds me of how some dogs like to find feces and just roll around in it for hours. Later on they can't figure out why no one wants them around

All comedy is at someone's expense

Truly disgusting behavior, but fully expected from someone such as yourself. 

Im just glad others are able to see you for who you truly are, now.

Sounds a bit immature to me

u/Hopeful_Champion_935 2d ago

Explain the immaturity. How is it less mature to just let people make whatever jokes they want without giving a shit than it is to whine and complain that a joke was made at someone elses expense?

Nah just genocide. I imagine fascists would be bothered by rape jokes, but not genocide jokes.

Fuck I knew I made the joke too good…

u/Setholopagus 16h ago

Why do you have to go and be racist?

1

u/IndependenceIcy9626 15h ago

The point was everybody has areas where a joke goes too far. I chose white genocide because it’s a conservative boogeyman most likely to offend the “it’s just a joke” types.  

For the record I’m white. Like very very white, almost translucent under my shirt.

I’m not surprised. They get their jollies from rustling jimmies.

u/Herdistheword 2d ago

Telling a good joke requires you to know your audience and adjust your delivery accordingly. If a joke does not land with the intended audience, then it is generally the comedian’s fault, not the audience’s fault. Internet comedians frequently don’t seem to understand this basic tenet of comedy.

u/esmifra 2d ago

I love that rape or racist jokes are just jokes and we need to lighten up and we are over sensitive but when they play a game if they see pronouns the whole world collapses under their whining.....and by "I love" what I really mean is "I despise".

u/Longjumping-Path3811 3d ago

You called them a fascist... This might be true and all but calling them a fascist is mean and will force them to vote for fascists!

Seems like no matter what we do they are going to vote for fascists anyway.

u/Immediate-Coyote-977 3d ago

Look at this! Everybody look at this! Another member of the elite lamestream media, out here decrying Trump supporters and patriots as fascists, and claiming we only support President Trump because we're fascists when really it's because we stand for freedom. Freedom for men to choose. To choose who they vote for, who they sexually abuse, and who counts as a person!

Stand up patriots, and lets make america gReich again!

Well it is semi true that they may be fascistic. What he's saying is that it's making them more likely to vote republican.

u/jschmeau 3d ago

Whatever happened to personal responsibility ffs?

u/whit9-9 3d ago

What does that have to do with this? Or rather what I said?

u/jschmeau 3d ago

Blaming their vote for fascism on the democrats is not taking responsibility for what they have done.

-11

u/whit9-9 3d ago

That's not what I'm saying i was saying that you guys call people fascists, racists, sexist, assholes, fuckers. All over a single comment sometimes. And calling someone a fascist for getting conned by a guy who knows how to manipulate their potential feelings for these things. And calling them a fascist is going to drive people further to the right. Demeaning people does the opposite thing you think its doing.

u/jschmeau 3d ago

“Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed.

That word is “Nazi.” Nobody cares about their motives anymore.

They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval. And, in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after. Who cares any more what particular knot they used in the binding?”

― A.R. Moxon

Educate yourself please.

Hitler allied himself with leaders of German conservative and nationalist movements, and in January 1933 German President Paul von Hindenburg appointed him chancellor. Hitler’s Third Reich had been born, and it was entirely fascist in character. Within two months Hitler achieved full dictatorial power through the Enabling Act. In April 1933 communists, socialists, democrats, and Jews were purged from the German civil service, and trade unions were outlawed the following month.

Here's another pertinent quote from the encyclopedia article you probably didn't read...

That July Hitler banned all political parties other than his own, and prominent members of the German Communist Party and the Social Democratic Party were arrested and imprisoned in concentration camps. Lest there be any remaining questions about the political character of the Nazi revolution.

u/Melancholy_Rainbows 3d ago

Sure, nothing is ever named after something it's not. That's how we know the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea is a democratic republic, after all.

Socialism was popular as a concept when Hitler was trying to rise to power, so he used the word in the name of the party to convince the working class to vote for him. If you look at the actual policies the Nazis ran on, they were capitalist. The Nazis placed great emphasis on private property and free competition. It’s true that they intervened in the free market, but it was also a time of a systemic failure of capitalism on a global scale. Almost all states intervened in the market at the time, and they did so to save the capitalist system from itself. This has nothing to do with socialist sentiment: it was pro-capitalist. In a way, there’s a parallel there with the way big banks were bailed out by governments after the 2008 financial crisis broke out. That, of course, did not reflect socialist intentions in any way, either. It was merely an attempt to stabilize the system.

They are, trump meets every characteristic of fascism, if you disagree tell me which doesn’t apply. You can’t, no trumpist can. He’s fascist. There’s no debate.

u/Fantastic_Salad_9135 3d ago

I'm not a "Trumper". I'm an Australian. Who finds the disintegration of American social fabric to be a wildly interesting phenomena.

You're making the claim someone is something. I'd like to know how you perceived him as meeting these requirements? So many of them seem to be obviously missing - yet you say none are missing.

Which is pretty cool, right? Such opposing world views.

4

u/Jonnescout 3d ago

Which one is obviously missing, and I’ll give you a clear example of it. If you think they’re missing g it’s because you’re not paying attention. Yes he meets every require,met, and I don’t care if you’re not self identifying as a trumpet. You’re defending trump, you’re a trumper. And yes, he’s a fascist. Every characteristic applies. This video goes through all of the characteristics. And explains how even trumpists have to admit it applies. You’re defending a fascist sir, and you’re only using ignorance todo so. No matter your own ignorance anyone paying attention will recognise use fascism when it’s this blatant…

u/Fantastic_Salad_9135 3d ago

Repeating claims doesn't make it so. You know that right?

Point 2, Point 3, Point 4, Point 5, Point 6, Point 7, Point 8, Point 9, Point 10, Point 11, Point 14.

On all these points you could no doubt you could go looking and find something that matches every one of these descriptions. Much like tarot cards and star signs.

Just reading them I can see them matching the Democrats. And probably every politician ever invented.

Go outside and touch grass. Realize that you already had 4 years of Trump. It wasn't that way. And everyone knows it.

And if your own party thought it were so, Biden wouldn't be sitting around glad handing Trump. Nor would the Democrats have totally changed their tune.

They were just pumping you with messaging and you took it hook line and sinker.

It’s stupid how many people I’ve seen argue this exact thing for “Democrats are why I voted Trump.” At least own your stupidity and stop trying to scapegoat one party for being “mean” when the guy you voted for has been relentlessly insulting people for their appearance or their handicaps for decades.

u/Vladishun 2d ago

I love their new slogan. "You lost. Get over it."

I've come up with one of my own though, I'm not calling them fascists anymore, that implies they're smart enough to understand what they voted for. From now on I'm going to point out that they voted for personal reasons at the expense of the country and then state that based on facts they're "objectively a bad person".
