I think there are two things going on right now but this is just my opinion. There's gender dysphoria which is a serious mental illness. Then there is fad. I think it has just become a fad to try to get attention by saying you're something you are not.
That fad is mostly perpetuated by narcissists. Narcissists always demand that others change for them or they will be called and treated like a bad person. So if I don't believe that a man can become a woman then I am a bad person. If I don't believe there are more than 2 genders then I am a bad person. If I do not use a person's preferred pronoun then I am a bad person.
I don't feed narcissism. It is a free country and people can claim whatever they want to about themselves. Everyone has the freedom to do that. But what no one has is the right to do is to force others to participate in their fantasy. It does not makes us evil that we do not accept their fantasies. It just makes them narcissists for demanding that I change for them.
Just like trans people have the right to say whatever they want about themselves, I have the right to disagree with them. It does not mean I hate them or feel superior to them in anyway. It just means I disagree.
"So what I said then?
Tyler Robinson was an anti-Fascist right winger. According to your logic"
And what I said was:
"You are still stuck on the idea that fascism and Nazism are right wing philosophies. They are not. They never were. American Progressives, after war broke out in Europe in the 1930's, had to distance themselves from fascism and nazism and so they pushed it off on the right."
You have to let go of this false notion that fascism is right-wing.
"And no, Fascism is not Socialism, otherwise it would be Socialism"
You're in denial. If the dude who invented said it was socialism a more viable version of socialism then what are you going to do, dig him up and argue with him?
"Both Fascism and Nazism are extremely totalitarian, autocratic, strongly focused on centralized power. That is the complete opposite of Socialism."
Then you do not know what socialism is. Socialism is exactly the same as your description of fascism and nazism. And don't forget, Nazism IS national socialism.
Josef Stalin called himself an international socialist but his predecessor, Vladimir Lenin, called himself a democratic socialist. Ya know... Just like Bernie Sanders.
Robinson was not a groyper. It just really bothers the left that one of their own would murder someone like that.
I had to go look up groyper because I had only just heard of that after Kirk was murdered.
He was nothing like a groyper. Wikipedia says they are Christian Nationalists. Christian Nationalists are a non-existent group invented by the left to scare each other with. They don't exist. Robinson's father is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and we are NOT Christian nationalists. Robinson most likely left the LDS Church because he was gay and had a trans boy/girlfriend.
There's just far too many conspiracy theories on both the right and the left but the left seems to have much crazier theories.
"MAGA can be diluted, or it can be distilled, and the faction that favors the latter is naturally more prone to extremity and its accompanying violence."
More nonsense. MAGA is just MAGA. Believe me when I tell you this. Remember when I told you that I didn't vote for Trump in 2016 and I didn't think he was much of a president in his first term? If MAGA was violent, I would be dead or beat up.
I just do not understand why the left likes to live in so much fear. They invent groups and theories all the time just to scare themselves.
Giovanni Gentile was the dude who invented fascism. He said, “Fascism is a form of socialism, in fact, it is its most viable form.” His words, not mine.
He inspired Benito Mussolini (who was also a socialist).
Sorry, but fascism IS socialism. I don't know how to break it to you more gently than that.
Communism is Karl Marx's version of socialism. Nazi is an acronym for the National Socialist German Workers Party.
THEY ARE ALL JUST SOCIALISM.
And now ALL variations of socialism are heavily influenced by Marx. It is all just Marxism now.
This makes Antifa the biggest bunch of idiots the world has ever seen. Even the original Antifa from the 20th century. They're just far too stupid to know they are replacing socialism with socialism.
You are still stuck on the idea that fascism and Nazism are right wing philosophies. They are not. They never were. American Progressives, after war broke out in Europe in the 1930's, had to distance themselves from fascism and nazism and so they pushed it off on the right.
