    Jews shaming those who spread the protocols of the elders of Zion were authoritarian also I guess.

    If you're going to go there and then

    They absolutely used twisted language to turn people into non-people/"the others"/whatever/etc, which then justified all manner of things in their eyes.

    Hold on. Did we just find @tinman 's alternate account? Nah. You almost had me, but I didn't see a "Contributing Member" or "Jeremy Lin" reference.

    I guess you don't hear, or want to listen, but Dave Chappelle got, amongst other things, a Grammy this year.

    :D...well, I can only speak for myself...

    ...I was leaning in on being called a baby killer for taking women's side on the right or ability or responsibility to choose for themselves in this abortion debate (which I don't mind and will proudly and gladly wear and accept as consequence for my position)...

    ...what did you mean, exactly?;)

    Censure censure censure censure

    The right is far more dangerous with how they use words…. They are using it to change the meaning of the 1st amendment. They are using it to justify their Christian Nationalism and combining church and state.

    I mean…. You are a self described Ron DeSantis supporter. Do you really want to sit here and make an argument that Ron DeSantis is not a fascist by definition? Is his anti-business grievance filled governing (ex Disney) not textbook Fascism??

    If that’s what you are into then more power to you but don’t get your panties all in a wad for being labeled something that you have said here a few times that you support. I also can’t remember anyone ever calling you personally a fascist even though you are a DeSantis supporter. If I say I’m a Bernie bro I really can’t get too worked up when someone says I’m a Democratic Socialist. I know I know LABELS!! Ahhh.

    I can handle labels because I can handle accountability for what I say and do I guess which I think is the real issue that MAGA folks have a problem with. Maybe it’s time you guys just learn to “pull up your bootstraps” and learn accountability.

    It's a major self-awareness issue. If someone calls me a radical leftist I'm just going to shrug my shoulder and be like "you could have just waited for me to tell you that bud"

    Like it baffles me that someone like ATW doesn't have the self-awareness to realize spending hours a week b****ing about trans people on a NBA team fan message board is not normal behavior. You aren't moderate ATW.
