There's an obvious difference between someone having a different political belief and a dangerous political belief. Being radical conservative is a dangerous political belief. Forgive me but I don't want to hang around people who call me slurs or physically threaten me for who I am, or just try to take away my access to live-saving medical care.
Fascism, bigotry, and authoritarianism is not an opinion, in the same way that arsenic isn't a flavor.
When you said you were on truth social I knew exactly the kind of person you are. It's not surprising that you get called a Nazi and a Maga often, you share very similar beliefs with them. Also "You have the right to pretend to be whoever you want to be" fuck you, I'm not pretending, none of us are pretending. This is what I'm talking about when I say thinly veiled transphobia and denial of our identities. We aren't pretending to be women, we ARE women, trans women are women. If you can't accept that, regardless of how you self-proclaim yourself or how nice you claim to be or support us, you are a transphobe, because you are refusing to accept us for who we are, and instead try to push and insist that we are something we are not and are just pretending. Go fuck off.
Oh my...
This is exactly what I'm talking about. Now you've turned me into a strawman to unleash your anger towards. I'm not going to try to explain anything else. But, you should get a truth social account, it's pretty wild in there. Don't be afraid.
You shouldn't bother trying to waste your breath explaining anything, I have no intention of wasting my time listening to people like you. This quote sums up people like you pretty well, just replace anti-semite with alt-right.
"Anti-semite, "alt-right". You couldn't be further from the truth. What exactly did I say that has you painting me as such a characature?
Constant generalizing and stereotyping... It's assumptions based on ignorance. I think it's a symptom of social media in general, but I'm really feeling the brunt of it here on lemmy.
You don't know me. Your arguments are only good against certain people/issues, so you turn me into a strawman for your arguments.
