      “They’re not christofascists, they’re Christian moralists” ^^1 is a disturbingly far right position post Charlottesville, Dobbs, and all the state laws persecuting trans people that have been passed recently.

      I will say, I haven’t seen a moderation level action yet that seems horribly wrong, but I feel like that’s only going to be a matter of time

      ^^1 Paraphrased, not a direct quote

      e; I apparently can’t figure out superscript text

        The Charlottesville people are largely fascists, but they also don’t have that much influence in American politics. Dobbs is not a fascist position. I personally support abortion access- but there is nothing in the Constitution to protect it. As for state laws persecuting trans people I actually have looked that much into what’s passed, I’ve just seen rhetoric. Can you point me to some of the laws that’re chrisofascist?

          They were all fascists, and everything else you said is, at best, so deeply ignorant that I don’t think I’ve got the time or mental energy to point out how dumb and dangerous this refusal to see what should be obvious to everyone is. I strongly encourage you to step down as a moderator of this community and strongly encourage anyone who approved your being made a mod to do the same.

            Every single one there? I do not think you could possibly know that.

            dumb and dangerous this refusal to see what should be obvious to everyone is.

            Ironically what I said in my mod application is:

            “I fully accept that people can and do hold opposing opinions to me, yet might be smarter, more informed, or more moral than me. I may still disagree with them but being wrong isn’t evil.”

            Do you think I(or anyone) could disagree with you on anything without you automatically assuming they are less informed, stupider, or evil?

              The counterprotesters weren’t. If you’re marching and nazis show up to march with you and you don’t drive them off or leave yourself, you’re ok marching with nazis. The term for someone who is ok marching with nazis is “a nazi.”

                So the German Communist Party were Nazis?

                After the Nazi electoral breakthrough in the 1930 Reichstag election, the SPD proposed a renewed united front with the KPD against fascism but this was rejected.[25]

                In the early 1930s, the KPD cooperated with the Nazis in attacking the social democrats, and both sought to destroy the liberal democracy of the Weimar Republic.[26] They also followed an increasingly nationalist course, trying to appeal to nationalist-leaning workers.[4][27]

                In 1931, the party reported a membership of 200,000.[28]

                The KPD leadership initially first criticised but then supported the 1931 Prussian Landtag referendum, an unsuccessful attempt launched by the far-right Stahlhelm to bring down the social democrat state government of Prussia by means of a plebiscite; the KPD referred to the SA as “working people’s comrades” during this campaign.[29]

                In this period, while also opposed to the Nazis, the KPD regarded the Nazi Party as a less sophisticated and thus less dangerous fascist party than the SPD, and KPD leader Ernst Thälmann declared that “some Nazi trees must not be allowed to overshadow a forest [of social democrats]”.[30] In February 1932, Thälmann argued that “Hitler must come to power first, then the requirements for a revolutionary crisis [will] arrive more quickly”. In November 1932, the KPD and the Nazis worked together in the Berlin transport workers’ strike.

                  Wow. Neat pro-nazi talking points. Do you think this is a good look for the moderation team?

                  I’d say the German Communist Party didn’t know any better and learned the hard way what happens when you welcome nazis. It’s interesting how none of your examples are from after 1932. I wonder what could have happened in 1933 that caused the sudden cutoff.

                    Neat pro-nazi talking points.

                    How is that pro-nazi? My personal ideology is essentially in opposition to Nazi ideology in every possible matter.

                    I’d say the German Communist Party didn’t know any better

                    Not what I asked. You said marching with Nazis automatically makes you a Nazi, regardless of if they kill you later or not. So were they Nazis or not.

                    It’s interesting how none of your examples are from after 1932.

                    Interesting how you didn’t answer, were they Nazis?

      Yeah I guess. I’ve only been able to get internships- good internships. But I’ve never been able to get a real job

      Maybe I misinterpreted that.

      What’s with all the comments about closing public schools and calling clearly fascist movements as “christian moralists”.

        Currently working a good internship. Also, talk about stalking!

        Edit: I also never advocated closing public schools. I advocated making them voluntary.

        Edit 2: I have also been offered a few jobs but are not feasible for me since I want to live near my partner.

          I wouldn’t consider it stalking but a background-check.

          This community could (/will) become the biggest political forum on the web. Wouldn’t you want to know who moderates it?

          You can go through my post history, nothing to hide. I don’t consider it stalking but a feature.

          We will follow your journey with great interest.

            Of course you’re free to, it’s just I’d argue a rude thing to do to instead of judging someones actions you criticized them for being vulnerable in a completely different context days ago.

            And why does dissent automatically fail the background check in your book?
