There were. There aren’t anymore

Example: Jordan Peterson.

There are many others.

Don’t underestimate your enemy my friend. Just because the ones in the foreground are low IQ screaming idiots doesn’t mean the quiet ones behind the curtains are low IQ too.

It’s not about intellect per se. It’s about empathy. Take a sociopath for example. They can be highly intellectual but their goal will justify any means because they lack any form of it.

I’m not saying intellect has nothing to do with the rise of fascism, because fascists are very good at manipulating low IQ people with disinformation. These low IQ people, the heard, won’t see the harm they do because that would drive their support away so it’s all being hidden and twisted.

But the core of the rise of fascism is definitely planned by intellectual people and you should not underestimate that.

Don’t just look at the skinheads on the street. Look at the people funding fascist tyrants.

Again, not a distinction im making or care about. This is not meaningful to me Who are you arguing with? Is this just action for the sake of action on your part?

We were talking about dehumanizing people, weren’t we?

Don’t know that one, will check it out, thanks!

Also, not sure trump has said that about trans people. Think he’s saving it for the midterms. You’re just saying crap.

Removing DEI, stripping trans service people of their rights and benefits, denying trans people their identity… Yeah, sure, I’m just talking crap.

I can explain what i mean when i use words and actually consider stuff intellectually, rather than relying on shallow understandings and gut emotional reactions that barely rise past the level of aesthetics and i valorize and absolutely never explore or apply nuance to. My conclusions flow from my observations rather than the other way around. I tend to revel in rather than abhor complexity. Hey…

There are fascist intellectuals too. Remember Oppenheimer for example? There were many nazi scientists in nazi Germany. Being a fascist doesn’t automatically mean being dumb or ignorant. It means having a lack of compassion as they don’t care about causing harm to others and they they believe there’s a rank in people, in which they are better than others. Ubermensch and untermensch. They believe some people are more human than others and deserve more rights. Dehumanizing groups of people is usually done to justify crimes against humanity. Murder, torture (like forced medical experimentation like Mengele did), slavery, re-education, sterilization, extermination, etc.

No matter how evil, fucked up, imbicile, hateful or corrupt someone may be, they are still human and should be treated as such. Even if they don’t treat others like that. Because classifying someone or a group as less human is fascism.

I am better than those bad people. I’m a better person. I’m not more human than them.

Look at the world’s history, or what’s happening right now. Humans are fucking evil and fucked up. Some are good, some are bad, but we’re all still human.

This post belongs in true facts.

I once copied the entire movie folder from a friend. To hide his porn, he renamed it all to look like regular movies. Sadly he had a really bad taste.

I like Homelander because he’s so fucked up, so sick and twisted, such a well written roll and perfectly performed. But I like dystopian worlds, as entertainment. I like Gaspar Noé movies. But I can’t say Homelander is a good guy, no. Just pure evil.

But it’s the same with Darth Vader. Who would think he’s a good guy? You can like him for being cool and evil, but saying he’s the good guy is the same as saying Homelander is a good guy, isn’t it?

We were talking about earth. In Star Trek earth is nice.

… Said Hitler about the jews. Said Netanyahu about Palestinians. Said Trump about trans people.

If you think you are superior and consider them untermenschen, how are you any different from a fascist exactly?

Thanks to laws I live in a wealthy country where I can walk safely on the street anywhere any time without being in danger. No one has guns, there’s safe infrastructure, crime levels are low. But if you live in the US, a corrupt and failed state, or any other corrupt country, I get your sentiment.

Scifi and fantasy also try to mirror the real world. In star wars, the whole story about the empire and the rebellion is basically the story of any great Empire in history. It becomes too big, crooked people take over, it becomes corrupt, it becomes too restricted, too evil to keep power, rebels will fight against oppression and the empire will fall. With a new government filling the vacume, and the whole story starts over again. Heroes become villains. Good guys become bad. They all have their reasons, they all have twisted justifications for their actions. Whatever filter is used, it’s mirroring society. Whether it’s space scifi, fantasy or super heroes.

How do you fold a frozen pizza, it’s rock hard when frozen. Also, I would suggest to warm it up before eating, tasted a tiny bit better. But I recommend eating something completely different instead of cardboard. Like a curry or something.

This makes no sense. You’re supposed to eat the pizza from the outside for the increasing hotness effect? The one who created this clearly never ate pizza themselves.

I used total commander when I was young, but I like the folder tree view and the massive amount of options to personalize it to my needs. Also the flawless network drive and ftp compatibility, tabs, it’s own file transfer system and mass file renaming function. Haven’t found something similar yet (but maybe didn’t search well enough). Oh and color options, so my screens are all dark view exactly the way I want it.

read about nazi germany it will be too late

Dude, my entire family was in the resistance. My great grandfather hid jews on his farm, was captured, tortured and died in a concentration camp. My family smuggled crashed British pilots back to England and liquidated traitors (family in my mother’s side) and blew up train tracks and communication lines (family on my father’s side). When my grandfather died, we found a huge walk-in closet filled with gas masks, emergency food, machine guns and ammo, a chest filled with hand grenades. In The Netherlands. I’ve had a lot of history lessons in school. Plain history, political history, economic history. I know a lot about nazis, how they come to power, how they work.

I see what’s happening right now. The lack of democratic and media resistance right now leads to them gaining power, which will lead us having to escalate to more violent and unlawful measures. I don’t want it to come like that, that’s why I’m politically fighting the far right in my country (and fighting fake news) and even though they have taken too much power in my eyes, they can’t just do whatever the fuck they want.

The US, however, is a failed state and the democrats were way to passive (and also too right wing themselves). So there’s no hope. Violence may be the only option. But just don’t dehumanize your enemy, don’t treat others how you don’t want to be treated yourself.

I’m actively fighting them. Still in a legal way. If war breaks out, then I’ll go to other less lawful ways.

You might not live in a civilized country, I luckily still do.

They’re not, but is that an excuse to be lawless too? If the enemy commits war crimes, how are you any better if you do the same?

Who said I won’t attack them? Of course I would, and have. But within the law, without dehumanizing them.

You call me pathetic, although I’m actively fighting against the far right, oppression and crimes against humanity.

You, on the other hand, show you are just as bad as they are.

That’s the excuse for Hamas to commit terrorist acts on Israel. It’s also the excuse for Israel to commit the worst war crimes of this century by far. Lowering yourself to the level of the enemy makes you just as bad. Be better.

I think very little of them, I’m disgusted by them, I hate them with everything I’ve got, but I will not dehumanize them or justify crimes against humanity against them. No matter whether they would do that to me. They deserve consequences for their behavior. They need to be sentenced for their crimes. Legally, democratically, within the law. If we don’t, how are we any different? They think they are better humans than others, you know, like the nazis. Untermenschen. If you’re not a nazi, fascist or racist, you won’t dehumanize others.

The US would be better off with president Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho.
