Funny you bring that up, because that was also a socialist idea.

shut. the …

marry me.

i need to log off for a bit.

Yeah, kind of amazing that people don’t know this ideology is responsible for the highest body count in human history in less than 100 years.

I’m not uncritical of the failures of centralized planning. But people do seem oblivious to the ethnic strifes in the USSR and PRC that lead to very specific groups being starved.

Weirdly though nobody thinks like Adam Smith is responsible for the Irish Potatoe Famine. But somehow Karl Marx personally did the Holodomer. From the grave.

There are a lot of really good, legitimate criticisms to make of socialism and communism. The history of the USSR, PROC, and DPROK, among others, are fair play to bring up, because while you can criticize how they developed away from their root ideologies, they were still ultimately borne out of that tree.

I am not even a socialist, here. Mind, I’m not hostile to them either; fascism is about the only major one that actually provokes my ire. I generally think ideology is good for coming up with policies but terrible at implementing them.

But every time you make this weird criticism where you’re effectively falling for fascist propaganda from a century ago – where fascists actively co-opted socialist language in order to benefit from its popular appeal – you’re dramatically discrediting your argument.

You have problems with Ren? A lot of people do. I’m staying the hell out of that because I still don’t know what’s going on. But none of that, if we must insist on doing that every other day in this thread, requires out-of-the-blue attacks based on poor conceptions of history.

They used socialist language because they were literally socialists. Far even before fascism was conceptualized, it’s core founders were socialists writers and thinkers.

The propoganda is only what separates fascism from it’s socialist roots.

My bad. Though we often don’t see eye to eye, I am, though, glad you’re here to counter her asinine “feminism.”

And it’s also well known that fire departments are filled with arsonists. They have fire right in the name! Wake up sheeple!

me too, while I enjoy socialst systems like free Healthcare (as I am Canadian) I am only ever truly anti-fascist and anti-authoritarian, anti-totalitarian. They think that means I’m a Bolshevik.

That’s it, that’s why they hate me, I’m a woman, I am progressive and i have strong feminist opinions (and on a very surface level i am a jerk) Oh and because I called Doness sexist in private because he was acting sexist, but you really don’t deserve to be pulled into that and I appreciate you not joining in on his dogpiling.

Aww man, does this mean I can’t use a flamethrower to fight fires now?! :joy:

No that’s fine. It throws the fire away. It’s in the name. What else could it’s purpose be?

At least I have the last laugh that the clown deleted their Alex Jones blog.

my blog was actually “Dark academia aesthetic” and I had a side blog about Sylvanas x Nathanos and I had a wow theorycrafting and lore blog. Who the hell is Alex Jones? (ya know I was curious as to why Baal called me a “right-winger” and now I realize he was probably told some lie about me which is why it doesn’t make sense to me.)

Thankfully a few firends reached out to me through the SF discord and Twitter because I went awol. but I’m not going to let a little misogynist ish find my personal accounts. I also wanted to protect my friends.

I didn’t know this until I started posting here but Gamergate is alive and thriving here in this forum. this goes beyond “toxic”

Although when the men here accused me of calling them misogynists I was really refering to my “friends” who were actually not being my friends in good faith. The downside was I unfriended everyone I met here and now I realize that I did get rid of one too hasitly and I hope he doesn’t hold it against me because he’s really, really cool.

I mean, you literally called yourself a communist before.

I mean, I guess it is good you are dialing it back, that is a step in the right direction.

Not a direct misgender but I am going to count it anyway. The implication that I am an anti-feminist woman hated despite being a woman.

I don’t hate you because you are a woman, I hate you because you are a bully and you make up lies about people.

And of all the people who have issues with you, I was the most willing to hear your side and help you. And you treat me like this.

When we talked in private, she genuinely believes that you are a man, and that you are her tumblr harasser. There is no reasoning with her, because she never knew reason. That’s what Ethriel told me.

I am not her Tumblr harasser. I have no idea what other socials she has. I wouldn’t know Baal’s twitter if he didn’t make posts about me, and even then I haven’t done anything about it.

Honestly, words said online don’t bother me that much.

Which is funny because she regularly mocked my speculation as to who is/are my Twitter/Wowpedia stalker/s for the last 2 years

So she can speculate on her abuse but nobody else can?

And I “deserved” my abuse?

Lmao
