      I recommend we don’t bring that cryptofascist bullshit to the fediverse.

      “Huehuehue this Nazi sure did post a funny meme, let’s circlejerk with him! This couldn’t possibly have any negative consequences!”

          They are talking about political compass memes, not whatever strawman you are presenting.

          See? A great example of how cryptofascists cloak themselves in non-sensual arguments. This dipshit knows I’m talking about PCMs and yet he tries to position me as a rape apologist.

          Fuck off, nazi lover.

            No, I am legitimately trying to understand your point and why liking a certain kind of memes would make me or anyone else a “cryptofascist”.

            Why don’t you try to put together a sensible argument instead of spewing out accusation and calling anyone you don’t agree with a nazi? I am not a nazi, I don’t love nazis and I most definitely don’t condone what they did. Geez, I can’t even believe I have to type this out loud.

              Okay, then you’re exactly the type of naive, politically uninformed liberal that we have to make sure never interacts with Nazis.

                I wouldn’t call myself a naive liberal but I’m definitely closer to that then being a fucking Nazi.

                Anyway I still don’t see an argument.

              I think he’s upset alt-right dipshits could potentially garner quarter from others because it shows that all political factions have a common belief, when the alt-right should be ostracized at all costs.

              They forgot about the fucking tankies in the upper left corner.

              Also it could just be an issue that upsets them emotionally. Just leave them alone and let them have a moment to breathe.

              Personally I am just glad it’s possible we all can still agree on something, but that’s missing the point of the meme. The point is that rape apologia is evil.

                Pretends to be opposed to fascism but ends with a criticism of the left and an exhortation to find common ground with Nazis.

                This, this right here.

                  No man, authoritarians of every stripe are fucking evil.

                  You cannot actually be a member of the left and be in favor of authoritarianism. It goes back to the very beginning of the terms left and right to describe political leanings. We can blame the French, but the term started with a vote, the question was “should the king have an absolute veto” Those who said yes sat on the right, those who said no on the left.

                  In other words, the authoritarians sat on the right, the people who believed in the power of the people sat on the left.

                  Tankies take the ideals of the left, and then subvert them in favor of authoritarianism. Orwell wrote about it in Animal Farm, the betrayal of the revolution by the Pigs, because while all animals are equal, some animals are more equal than others.

                  Tankies are just another form of monarchist, pretending to be an ally of the left. I do lump them in with Nazis as being dangerous to my ideals of equality and freedom. After all, tankies are just as likely to kill actual communists, it’s how the name was coined.
