Trump has far more runs on the board relative to AOC even considering her effort-points for deploying an affected black patois. Not least the fact that Trump won the highest office in the land without the need for foreign collusion.

And I maintain the liberal establishment’s TDS is certainly unprecedented in duration, breadth and toxicity. That observation resonates despite obvious past criticism of preceding presidents.

If you think Russian involvement in releasing Clinton's emails didn't win the election, you really should cut back on the koolaid.

Trump is objectively the worst president in recent times. He is a proven chronically habitual liar. If it were a Democrat, you'd see it in an instant, but your tribal blinders make you whine about "TDS" and make excuses for a malignant narcissist. Because you want so badly for it to all be true.

Shit has and will go down across both camps. See the leaks of Trump’s world leader conversations. The question is, what weakness will said shit exploit?

Trump should have been toast after being tac-nuked by the billy-gate tape. Especially given the follow-up salvo of ideo-harpies. Instead he got elected President.

For Clinton to allegedly buckle and crack because legit emails were leaked is telling .....

He's building a narrative about being a victim. Whether he personally cares doesn't really matter, just like it didn't matter in Hensley's case.

The important thing is how they're portraying themselves to their fans, and how much their fans are willing to excuse their stupidity or unethical behavior because they're "victims".

We have all made fun of the victim complex of the social justice brigade. Now the Trump fans are also trying to establish their own narrative of victimization.

This is the same grift/media narrative that the SocJus fans have repeatedly used to milk sympathy for their calls for censorship or for shredding presumption of innocence.

Except that I don't think that I'm a victim of unprecedented hate and so everything I do is flawless and above criticism because of the lying media, like Trump does. I also don't have any form of political power, or any partisan media outlet on my side, like Trump does.

You're being disingenuous if you think that Hensley didn't have an agenda (support for "tougher" Twitter rules) behind her claims of being a victim of Twitter PTSD, and even more so if you think that Trump isn't exploiting the emotions of his base about how they're the Real Victims for political gain.

The message that Trump sends is that since some people hate his guts and sometimes are overly partisan, or lazy in their reporting, or exaggerating for clicks, or a combination of the three, then everyone who has ever criticized him is just a hack, and all criticism of his policies and positions are just lies.

Trump knows that his fan base is skeptical of all media which aren't overwhelmingly partisan on their side (like Fox News or Breitbart) and his victim complex is feeding into that narrative.

Kim Jong Un or Putin use the same trick: all the international media is biased against them and lying, so all their subjects should only watch or read the state media. It's a propaganda strategy that was used by all authoritarian regimes, from the Nazis and the "Lügenpresse" to Stalinist Russia and the "bourgeois lies" and the use of "false consciousness".

When I make claims about the Saudis and other reactionary muslim regimes, I add plenty of evidence, and you're welcome to fact-check them and correct me if I got something wrong. When Trump make claims, people should do the same, instead of accepting them unthinkingly and acritically because he's a victim of the "lying media", just like people accepted Hensley's version of the events that led to her claim of being a victim unthinkingly and acritically, without checking them, because they bought into the idea that you should "believe the victim".

Meet attacks with equal and opposite measure. Dumb down your message to the level of the average voter. Keep it simple.

I don't think it's a good idea, because it only makes her ideas more appealing, it ennobles her cause, and in general I'm not a fan of "deplatiforming". But calling it "fascism" is a classic example of hyperbole. It's not like Goldy was arrested for her opinions, like it happened in REAL fascist regimes. You may call it an excess of political correctness, or a mistake in how to approach to stupid and illiberal ideas. Calling it "liberal fascism" is a way to reinforce the victim complex that Goldy (and others) use for political ends. Just like calling immigration "the Great Replacement" or even "white genocide".

These post-modern word games of equivocation help no one but those who want to obfuscate and reduce complex issues down to a narrative of victimization.

The right response to Goldy&co is relentless criticism and mockery, which of course she would call "harassment" and try to curb by abusing anti-harassment tools. Because for people like Goldy&co free speech is only a tool to advance their agenda, and they're pretty happy to curb other people's freedom and whine about how mockery or criticism victimizes them. This doesn't mean it's fair to purge them, of course.

So, if Goldy went to a cake shop that had a monopoly in an area - and wanted them to create a cake with a message on it.

Would the company have the right to refuse service - because they did not like the message or because they did not want to associate themselves with her?

All ideas these days need natty branding.

The path to fascism is a process. The use of power structures to overtly isolate individuals who don’t conform to right-think is part of the 1984 play book. The use of liberal justification is a novel twist.

In fact your use of “Goldy&Co” as a noun is dehumanising and therefore part of a pathway to genocide. Are you not ashamed?

Telling someone that their ideas are stupid and dangerous is not "dehumanizing" them. Otherwise every criticism of anyone is "dehumanizing".

I don't think anyone is either progressive or evil. If you want to lead a trad life, do it. Just don't demand that your standards are the only standards in town. Trad life is a personal choice.

The problem is that you confuse people telling you that they don't like you and don't want you to have power over their lives with "oppression". You think you are "oppressed" simply by not having having your way of life inscribed in paws that discriminate against others.

The banning of the alt-whatever pundits from various online services is dumb and, counterproductive, but not an exclusion from civil rights. Just like being banned from a stadium for being a hooligan may or may not be justified, but it's harly apartheid.

You play postmodern word games to create a narrative sbout being a victim. Just like the SocJus tries to portray women wirh big tits in video games as being evil "rape culture", or police shootings as being "genocide".

You'd have a point if Goldy was put in prison or deprived of her nationality or her right to vote or her right to marry. Being banned from online media doesn't measure up, even if it's still excessive and will lead to more issues.

Your thresholds for 21C fascism are far to high.

No, it doesn't, at least not unless one doesn't redefine the imposition of physical or legal symbols (badges, identifications on ID cards, etc.) by claiming that people calling you something you don't like is imposing a symbol onto you. If I call you dishonest and disingenuous, for example, you may be displeased, but that's not forcing a symbol upon you.

I'm not a fan of smearing people with false or exaggerated accusations, of course, but even that is not what Genocide Watches with their idea of forcing symbols. It's not people calling you names, accurate or not, it's the state (or a powerful state-like entity) assigning you a badge, or a star to put on your chest, or a differently colored passport, or a definition within a database that is the basis for actual policies. It's not "the evil mainstream media called me a white supremacist just because I used the 14 words unironically".

Similarly, being banned from social media isn't a violation of your civil rights. I don't think with banning Goldy or others just for their ideas, awful as they might be, but the examples that the third indicator shows are a teensy bit more substantial than being banned from Paypal or Twitter: it's a matter of apartheid, of being deprived of voting rights, of legally mandated segregation, etc.

You're playing the same po-mo word games that the SocJus plays when it calls different rates of police shootings and different incarceration rates between races the "New Jim Crow". With the difference that while the SocJus is just as hyperbolic in its redefinition of concepts, they're at least talking about real matters of life and death and deprivation of one's freedom in this case.

Or maybe you're closer to the SocJus meme that redefines words they don't like as violence, to justify answering to speech they don't like with violence. :think:

Do you remember when you laughed at Alexandr Dugin's call for a genocide of "cretins" in the Ukraine, and called it "Russian humor"?

So when someone on your side explicitly calls for a genocide, it's no big deal. But when one of your favorite Youtubers is banned from some online outlets, it's the first step towards a genocide. :think:

Brive and Kirb's relationship here reminds me of the story of Bob and the bear (but I'm not sure which one is which).

Bob decided to go hunting bear, one day. So he packed his rifle, ammo, and camo, and set off.

As he was stalking and following a trail a bear came up behind him, ripped his pants down, and gave him a good rogering.

Bob, rather unhappy about not bagging the bear, heads home, planning to come back with more armaments and gear.

The next weekend he headed off to the woods, bristling with firepower. But, as he was peering out from behind a tree, the bear snuck up behind him, tore his pants off, and gave him another good seeing to, before running off.

Bob, shamefacedly heads home, and orders top of the line everything, including the best in camo.

The next weekend he heads back off to the woods where, you guessed it, the bear gets in behind him. Before slipping it in, it whispers, "admit it Bob, you're not here for the hunting, are you?".

But who's Bob, and who's the bear.

I've got 'em both on ignore, so there's no way I can guess from their posts, and - thank Zog - nobody quotes them very much...

His quote was “Ukraine must be clean of idiots. Genocide of the cretins suggests itself”.

I’d make the same observation of the progressive west. :lol:

Meh, Kirb’s humourless rigidity makes it impossible for him to charitably explore issues. That leaves me with the secondary joy of dangling nuance in order to (repeatedly) confirm this hypothesis.

Unlike the imposition of substandard coffee, the current social purge conforms with Genocide Watches first three indicators.

You may find this annoying or inconvenient. You may rail again a ‘genocide’ being anything other than gas chambers and crematoria.

But tough. These are the facts for you to process.
No, it doesn't, at least not unless one doesn't redefine the imposition of physical or legal symbols (badges, identifications on ID cards, etc.) by claiming that people calling you something you don't like is imposing a symbol onto you. If I call you dishonest and disingenuous, for example, you may be displeased, but that's not forcing a symbol upon you.

I'm not a fan of smearing people with false or exaggerated accusations, of course, but even that is not what Genocide Watches with their idea of forcing symbols. It's not people calling you names, accurate or not, it's the state (or a powerful state-like entity) assigning you a badge, or a star to put on your chest, or a differently colored passport, or a definition within a database that is the basis for actual policies. It's not "the evil mainstream media called me a white supremacist just because I used the 14 words unironically".

Similarly, being banned from social media isn't a violation of your civil rights. I don't think with banning Goldy or others just for their ideas, awful as they might be, but the examples that the third indicator shows are a teensy bit more substantial than being banned from Paypal or Twitter: it's a matter of apartheid, of being deprived of voting rights, of legally mandated segregation, etc.

What if the same process which led to physical destruction could also be applied to the structural removal from society of thought-criminals.

That would be interesting eh? Would the label you applied to this phenomenon really matter? What if, unbeknownst to yourself, you were a passive participant in these processes?

That would worth contemplating.

Your argument is the same kind of flawed analogical reasoning used by the SocJus to argue that video games promote "rape culture", or that a thing like "stare rape" exists.

You're even arguing for a subconscious and shared guilt, just like the concept of the Patriarchy.
